BlueSky est chouette en théorie, mais en pratique, c'est assez mort. Donc j'ai bien peur que tous ceux qui y sont allés ne soient repartis sur Twitter. Parce que venir ici, apparemment, c'est trop difficile...

- Student in my reading class: doesn't read.
- Me in May: You'd better read or you will fail the class.
- Student in May: doesn't read.
- Me in June: You'd better read or you will fail the class.
- Student in June: doesn't read.
- Me in July: You'd better read or you will fail the class.
- Student in July: reads a little, barely.
- Me late July: (insert meme of the guy judging you)
- Student the last week of class: tries to read one semester's worth of reading assignments in one week, doesn't succeed.
- Me early August: fails the the student.
- Student in mid-August: I found out I didn't read enough, what should I do to still pass the class?
But before you blame the student (I mean, he deserves some of the blame, obviously) I think this kind of behavior is not that rare because some of my fellow teachers will never fail students. Always giving them extra credits, special make-up assignments, and whatnot, and a lot of students are under the impression that they can get away with murder.
(and I'm not happy with those fellow teachers)

I just found out about @openvibe@mastodon.social and it seems pretty awesome.
It'd be even more awesome if it had a desktop app, and if it supported other ActivityPub based social media, not just Mastodon. But it's a good start.

People on the WorldNews sub on Reddit probably don't know much about French politics. Many are calling the snap elections a genius move from Macron.
His goal never was to stop the far right. The far-right had almost no power on the national level. His goal was... well, nobody is too sure, probably to actually give the power to the Far-Right to be able to say "See how bad it is, you should vote for us" at the next election. Who knows?
But what we know for sure is that he definitely didn't want nor plan for the Left to win. He hates the Left more than the Far Right. The Left is challenging capitalism and neo-liberalism more and more. The Far Right doesn't, quite the opposite.

I can't stand screenshots anymore. They're everywhere now. On Threads, I see more and more people posting screenshots of other Threads posts. WTF?

I thought about doing this for a while, but wasn't sure about how practical it'd be. I guess trying it out is the best way to know.

153 yen instead of 160! I feel so much richer already!

I meant that it was not exactly legal in some countries.

After 27 years on the internet and 20 on social media, l can say that I think I'm finally starting to grasp the whole "talking to strangers on the internet" thing.
Two people, in two separate occasions, on two different platforms made well-meaning but totally stupid comments in the past two days and... I said nothing. I didn't point out the inanity of their comment nor how it was beside the point.
Not gonna lie, I'm proud of myself. (It still rattles me that they will never know how stupid that was, but baby steps, I guess)

I hope it's just step one and that "normal" federation is coming. Right now there is almost no incentive for people to turn it on, especially if they don't really know what it is.
They won't know who follow them and they can't really interact with other accounts. And no possible discover ability.

Is it mastodon.art?
Whoops... We were not supposed to name names, sorry...

So... This is my Threads account and it's now on thz Fediverse.
Somewhere Mastodon Talibans are crying, but meanwhile, the rest of us are opening the web a little more.
