The down the rabbit hole youtube channel is really great for mildly obscure interesting topics.

• Find people on your course that can help you and that you can help. Teaching something you know to classmates helps you learn. There is a saying “one teach, two learn” and it is true.
• Try to review the content of a lecture before attending the lecture. Even if it is a fast 5 minute skim of the material it will help you
• Try to get an overview of the course at the start, again a quick skim might take an hour or so, but the content will be more familiar when you get around to it.
• For maths and science Khan academy is really useful.
• There is a short course on Coursera called ‘Learning how to learn’ that includes some of the above points, it is worth checking out.

Well done to everyone involved!

How can we follow peertube channels? I can’t seem to see any listed in communities on lemmy.ml

yeah sorry, I only just found out about it.

This video talks about the latest news. It basically talks about a version called mini-d, people are speculating that it is a version for testing manufacturing.

Reddit is really good for hobby/niche content. Reddit communities have become the largest online communities for quiet a few different interests where previously the largest communities would be independent forums.

It would be great if some forums decided to use Lemmy. I guess there are barriers to this, e.g. user interface changes might not be wanted and it might be difficult to export/import the forum history.

not if they federate

This one is really gave me a proper laugh

I am getting tired of this meme. It is basically complaint about people talking about world events unless they are “experts”.

We should look to experts for our sources of information but it is a bit shirt to mock normal people for talking about the world around them imo

40 percent of Russians do not support the official recognition of the Donetsk and Luhansk “people’s republics” by the Russian authorities, while 45 percent of Russians do. While some signs of “rallying around the flag” are inevitable, it is remarkable that despite complete control over major media sources and a dramatic outpouring of propagandistic demagoguery on TV, the Kremlin is unable to foment enthusiasm for war.

Perhaps they have grown wiser to war propaganda after the retaliatory sanctions for the annexation of Crimea?

Any moment now we will get people jumping in the comments section saying this: buT It’s jUsTiafied BecUAse NatO

If you are defending invasions like this you are just a propagandist

…because it hasn’t released

Ukraine will have strong western support so it won’t be as easy as Chechnya. Although Putin might decide to annex anyway.

A feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm —“in satire, irony is militant”, according to literary critic Northrop Frye—[2] but parody, burlesque, exaggeration,[3] juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing.

I think seahorse was being ironic/sarcastic

I think it was satire

Hopefully in a few years second hand framework parts will be a bit cheaper.

At the moment Microsoft’s chrome book competitor device looks decently repairable: https://youtu.be/fVjjSqfp75g I am sure Linux will run on it at some point. But yeah it isn’t upgradable in the way that the framework is

No sorry. But Ethereum will transition to proof of stake in June/July, we might get graphics cards then.

I like to use Lemmy though a browser on mobile, the interface is good (especially compared to reddit) but I think the buttons could be changed a bit to make it better.

I think it might improve the mobile UI to have all buttons at the bottom (sort of like in lemmur):

Buttons that I think would be useful at the bottom:

• Home (like in lemmur)
• Communities (like in lemmur)
• Search (like in lemmur)
• Profile (like in lemmur)
• Notifications
• Create post
• Sort

Are you going to wait until all hexbear features have been added to Lemmy before moving or do you think you will move over before that point? Any idea how long this will take?

Thanks for the contributions by the way!
