  • I joined sh.itjustworks because of the fact that it’s powered by renewable energy and it’s bilingual with French and English. As someone who wants to stop climate change and someone who is learning French, it made the most sense for me to join this instance. I have no alts, but if I were to make one it would probably be on lemmy.world, blajah.zone, or dbzer0.



  • Will I get jumped if I say MacOS?

    I’m just kidding, but I do like MacOS. I just find it more aesthetically pleasing than Windows and I find it easier to use and longer lasting than Windows. Like, I had to use my 2014 MacBook Air with 4GB of RAM for a week because I needed to repair my main Mac. Yes, it was slow, I couldn’t have too many apps running at the same time, and I couldn’t have my customary 20 tabs open, but it was certainly usable and not too frustrating.



  • Someone I know almost didn’t graduate this semester because his advisor gave him all of his easy classes in the fall semester and made him take 18 credits of hard engineering classes this spring. My advisor didn’t allow me to request a time override despite them only having a conflict of one hour on one day. I need both of those classes to graduate and I couldn’t take the other section because it was during the same time of my other major class. Luckily, it was a blessing in disguise and I was able to take that class this summer at a community college which was way easier than taking it at my home institution


  • Create a schedule and adhere to it.

    Make friends, join clubs, and have fun.

    Attend your lectures. I found that even if I was doing work for another class or playing on my iPad, I still gained something from attending lectures.

    Go to office hours and build a relationship with your professors.

    Create a four year plan of all of your classes. Your advisor may not be a good one and can fuck you over.

    Take some summer classes at your local community college (check to make sure they transfer over).

    Don’t overly stress yourself out with grades. C’s get degrees (unless you’re trying to go to grad school or professional school, then you’re going to have to try harder than a C)



  • At my high school, we basically had no enforcement of the dress code except for one incident. For context, everyone wore hats, crop tops, shorts, and stuff kinda like Euphoria. Certain teachers and administrators would ask you to take off your hat, but I haven’t heard anyone get dress coded until senior year.

    My school had a small trend where the senior guys would wear crop tops which lasted a few days until we heard that they banned guys wearing crop tops to school and dress coded one of the guys wearing them. Keep in mind, the girls could and did wear crop tops and no one dress coded them. Kinda ironic considering that the majority of dress code enforcement is towards girls, but the only time someone got dress coded (to my knowledge) in my four years of high school, it was a guy.

    Disclaimer: I’m nowhere near fluent in French, but I have taken French in high school and I have taken up to French III in college. This is just how I rationalize reflexives. Anyone can feel free to correct me/expand! Also, since you use lemmy.ca I’m going to assume you’re Canadian. I know very little about the ways that Canadian French/Québécois works, but there are comments above you that tell you what the Québécois would say.

    Te vs Se: Te is the reflexive pronoun translated as yourself and se is the reflexive pronoun translated as himself/herself (and is also used in the infinitive forms of reflexives; I’ve seen se translated as oneself when used like this). Because you are asking “What is your name,” you would used the “yourself” reflexive, te (Comment t’appelles-tu?). If you were asking “What is his/her name,” then you would use the “himself/herself” reflexive, se (Comment s’appelle-t-il/elle).



  • The whole point of social media is to have people on there as long as possible so I have no idea what he’s doing. He even tweeted that the verified people would only have 1 hour and 9 minutes and they have 6,000 posts they can view. People who aren’t verified have 600 posts and new accounts who aren’t verified have 300. They’d only be on the app for 10 minutes.

    I’ve been having problems with Twitter before this news came out. I can only like a certain number of posts before they think I’m a bot and won’t let me like, retweet, or even bookmark. Yesterday on browser, I read too many posts and while I could like, it wouldn’t let me read comments. Good job Apartheid Clyde
