@mulegirl Cute socks Rupert!

FYI: I’m not following a lot of people meaningfully, and you’re the only one not on Mastodon. Not trying to “convert you into the new religion”, just wanted to say I’ll miss the Rupert photos when I make my switch :)

Maybe now is the time to switch to the Metaverse?

@MrAlanCooper Sheesh, no. Musk made a terrible business decision. Do not bail him out.

There are plenty of other social media, and even (gasp) traditional media.

Try Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Mastodon, Discord, Reddit.

@msrebeccabirch @thomaschattwill Good point!

Same goes for educators, I guess. If you get a teacher from the lower quartile, it makes sense students complain about getting low grades with high effort work.

I once had a German teacher grade me with a -7 on a scale of 1-10. Only the native German student got a 6

Just set Mastodon up (Twitter alternative). Easiest thing I ever did:

Question for the tech-companies: What’s the rush of firing everybody just in time for the holidays?

(Meta, Amazon, Twitter…)

@CGLambdin And the news are opinions, and have no depth

[Matthijs 🇺🇦 @gewoonm]

@msrebeccabirch @thomaschattwill I just saw you are a teacher on your profile: you obviously will know more about this than I do.

Please also tell me if I’m wrong :)

[Matthijs 🇺🇦 @gewoonm]

@msrebeccabirch @thomaschattwill Only if the reports measure the right things. And they not always do.

Grading is hard. Keeping students’ motivation up is also hard.

If you have a course where hardworking students get low grades, you are teaching and/or grading wrong. You’ll lose their motivation

Wtf is going on here. Is he making fun of his actual employees? Or did he hire actors and is he using them to fun of his actual employees?

Which parallel universe are we in?

[Matthijs 🇺🇦 @gewoonm]

@CGLambdin This insight is a piece of the puzzle I was missing.
I instinctively knew something like this was the case, but could not articulate it. Thanks!!

@JaysonElliot They also need these exorbitant amounts of money to inspire the workers to work harder. Those drones need someone to aspire to!

Tip voor de feestdagen!

Het boek wat mijn vader en ik hebben gemaakt: https://t.co/6cWVvjh3GX

“Everything, everywhere and all at once” was a blast of a movie. I was entertained from start to finish. Humor, action, depth, excitement. Great acting. Great vfx, great story. What’s not to like?

@Wilbert Thuiswerken niet meer mogelijk voor de niet-ontslagen medewerkers (je moet nu minimaal 40u per week op kantoor zijn). Kan me voorstellen dat de echt-goede developers zo weg zijn. Groot deel van de top is ontslagen of opgestapt.

Wat blijft er nog over?

Welke helicopter hangt nu al 2 uur lang boven Rijswijk. Het is absurd vervelend dat geluid de hele tijd.

@hobdaydesign hahaha, yeah :)
Cialdini is known for his "laws of persuasion", and Fogg has some behavioral models and also stuff on persuasion. I noticed some overlap especially on the points "clarity", "tension between novel and familiar", "beauty is important"
