ryanestrada My favorite thing to do in Zoom classes is take a screenshot of a students' window while they write, and while they're distracted set it as my virtual background
Then I position myself in the frame like I'm in the room helping with their work and when they look up they FREAK OUT
ryanestrada I couldn't figure out why my Zoom classes felt so intense, and finishing them felt like walking out of a war zone.

Whitey_chan I keep hearing that Europe cannot learn #Covid19 strategies from Asia bc Asians are “obedient” & not as “critical”
South Koreans ousted their last president with mass protests, Taiwanese students occupied parliament to protest a trade deal & HK has been protesting for months.
jenshealthde Dänemark schließt Firmen, die ihren Sitz in Steueroasen haben, von #COVID19-Staatshilfen aus.
Dänische Firmen, die über 8 Mio. € Hilfen erhalten und nicht zurückzahlen, dürfen 2020 & 2021 weder Dividende zahlen noch Aktien zurückkaufen.
Das ist kein Sozialismus, das ist fair.

gchrupala What is typically expected in a recommendation letter for a postdoc position at a top US school? How long, and how over the top should it be not to harm the candidate's chances? Here people usually write around 3-4 paragraphs but I suppose this wouldn't be acceptable over there?
kathrinpassig Ich lese alles von Marcel, weil meines Wissens kaum jemand im deutschsprachigen Raum so unbeeinträchtigt durch "aber das war doch bisher nicht so"-Vorurteile über Digitalisierung und Wirtschaft schreibt. Wenn ihn ein Medium dafür bezahlen würde, stiege es in meiner Achtung. twitter.com/marcelweiss/st…

GretaThunberg Applaud health care staff!
But also give them higher wages, better working conditions and permanent sufficient resources.
Bail out workers!
And maybe save the “clapping-instead-of-funding” for the polluting companies?
A real sarcastic slow clap for the ones destroying our world.

henriksen So, in Norway the gov made a Covid tracker app. Wouldn't open the source code, saying open source was a security risk, especially given the short dev time. In less than a week, ppl have decompiled it, published how it works, found sec faults and made GH repos. That went well...
peterunfried Die mediengesellschaftliche Aufregung über das Wort #OEffnungsdiskussionsorgien ist im Kern der übliche Versuch, ein komplexes Problem durch die Darf-man-das-so-sagen-Frage zu ignorieren (die einen mit strategischem Ziel, andere aus Gewohnheit).
