Why don't schools simulate a typical 9 to 5 work week for students and remove homework entirely?
The homework aspect in theory helps with the University structure.

The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.
I wonder how many users and how much traffic they lost in the process.

Does/Will Lemmy support videos/GIFs like Reddit?
It adds a lot of server space and traffic requirements so it’s probably better hosted externally.

I used to work above a guy who had a reputation in the company for not really taking direction well from anyone (hence why he ended up in our section) and he was about double my age.
What I used to do was mention two things that needed doing and ask him which one he wanted to do. Most of what we did could’ve been done by either of us but in letting him pick what he wanted he had more inclination to actually do it. The rapport that came from this did allow me to jump on the few things that I wanted and get minimal backlash because I was fair most of the time.
Treat people with respect and make them feel like their opinions are valued.
If it comes to personal stories and life experience in conversation - try and take a lot more of a listening role and acknowledge their experience. They’ll feel valued in that space which will translate over to respect in the working space.

CHROME (google) is planing to implement DRM (kinda) into their browser
Unless something changed isn’t every browser running on iOS essentially just Safari at it’s core? That’s a pretty big user base to punish.

Man cites 'development reasons' for running over plover chicks in nest with ute
They’re pretty dangerous if you’re walking or riding around near them. I’d like to see some sort of action from government to get rid of them.
I’m not fond of the birds either but they can stay.

Anyone know a way to get adfree youtube on ios in an app?
Brave removes ads.
But also… it’s Brave which I’m learning is not the most ethical choice.

Anyone else who was blind-sided by the HECS/HELP interest rate changes?
It’s not interest it’s indexation. It’s tied to inflation. If you knew about it then it was easy to see coming, but obviously if you didn’t then you didn’t.
It is possible to index negatively and reduce the balance but pretty unlikely with todays economy.
It’s applied once per year at the start of June so any voluntary repayments are best made before the last week of May. The repayments you make through the year as wage deductions aren’t put against your balance until after you do your tax return.

What is your favorite new word for Tweets?
Posts. Same as I call them on every platform. Fuck the branding exercise.

My ISP sends me letters even if I am torrenting on VPN. Is there anyway to make my traffic not look like torrenting?

They’ll still see upload/download volumes, speeds and patterns. Just not destinations. That alone could indicate torrent.

Who is the most famous person you've ever met?
Chris Hemsworth. He was on holiday and very quiet, keeping to himself. I was staff aiding with his transport.

Barnaby Joyce admits watching wrong Matildas game after pub showed July friendly
I’ve fallen victim to this a few times. Fox didn’t have the rights to the recent Ashes series so they just played replays of old series. Walking past it was easy to be deceived if the venue hadn’t switched over to 7.
It was only when I came back and the score didn’t make sense that I picked up on it.

I wanted a brown girl and ended up with a grey boy who feels like a perfect personality match for me. My goal is life is to be as chill as my cat.
