Online and distance learning opportunities have opened doors for many students around the world. However, not everyone is cut out for this mode of study, which often requires additional motivation, focus, and time management skills.
In a recent IHE article, there were some rather surprising statistics that illustrate this point:
“Fewer than half of students at the largest nonprofit online institutions earn a degree after eight years. Is it an unfortunate reality or a cry for accountability?”
“Part-time, first-time students in online programs have an even harder time achieving completion. At both SNHU and Grand Canyon, only 14 percent of that population in the IPEDS cohort earned an award after eight years. At Liberty, 19 percent did.
The average eight-year national completion rate for all students is around 65 percent, according to a December report from the National Student Clearinghouse.”

@Bitcoin, are you a bot or are you just on Nostr non-stop?
The last day or two, you've liked several of my notes only 1.1239871298312791208301283012 seconds after I've posted them. 🤣
While using moStard and noStrudel, I've gotten a few notifications, asking me for permission to install Google Widevine. BLOCK!

#privacy #freedomWatchman Privacy just interviewed AlaskaAnon about being debanked and living on a cash & XMR standard. It was a great teaser episode, but I'd love to hear even more details on how people can get away from the banking industry and move more fully into the parallel economy.
Also, if anyone still uses Twitter, tell AlaskaAnon to get over here to Nostr!

Say gm all day long so nobody knows what time zone you're in. 🥸
Anyone know how to follow hashtags on noStrudel / moStard?

For those in the fiat mines, take a look at your middle and senior management closely. Does the Peter Principle apply at your company? It has definitely held true at most every place I've ever worked.

After some initial research, I think I've got things almost set up to step away from Alby.
I've set up nsec.app to sign events on my desktop (with mobile to come later), npub.cash setup to capture any zaps and turn them into ecash, and cashu.me as my default ecash wallet.
Now, I just need to figure out how to get back into Yakihonne with nsec.app. I've already used nsec.app to get into #nostrudel so can publish for the moment but would still like access via Yakihonne as well. Yakihonne only seems to want my nsec or a hex, which I can't seem to generate from nsec.app (only a bunker address, which Yakihonne won't accept). If anyone has any ideas, please send help!

With Alby sunsetting their original wallet in favour of their new Hub option, I woke up wondering if there is any comparable cashu/ecash option that I could use to zap on Nostr. I've only just started reading up on cashu, but surely I can find something that would work on both desktop and mobile (Android)?

Earlier today, I was listening to another New Discourses podcast episode about social-emotional learning, and the host kept mentioning how the SEL devotees want our children to use wearable smart tech so that they can track everything, down to their movements & heartbeats to ensure kids are meeting the behaviour goals set out by SEL experts.
It got me thinking that I haven't looked into privacy-respecting alternatives to wearable tech in a long while, and a quick search turned up a neat project: BangleJS. For those that like to tinker, select their own apps, or even write their own code, this looks like an awesome option.
Forget all of the data harvesting that major corporations want to get from us, and put in the time to customise your own tech. Teach your kids the same!

I've seen a few folks posting about @YakiHonne recently. While the interface is quite pleasant to use, does it have any other features that stand out for you?
And if you've switched entirely from another app or site, what made you choose Yakihonne over another client?

Today is Holodomor Commemoration Day in Ukraine and for Ukrainians all over the world.
“Death solves all problems. No human, no problem.” - Joseph Stalin
The Holodomor (“extermination/death by hunger” in Ukrainian) destroyed Ukraine and took millions of lives; nearly one-fifth of the country’s population was lost. The dreadful famine that engulfed Ukraine, the northern Caucasus, and the lower Volga River area in 1932-1933 was the result of Joseph Stalin’s policy of forced collectivization.

A year or so ago, I vaguely recall having seen a Nostr tool that allowed me to merge my different bookmarks from different clients. Since I've toyed around with a dozen or so different clients, I suspect I've got a bunch of different bookmark lists floating out there in the ether and could definitely use something like that tool.
Does anyone know if such a thing still exists, how effective it is, and how to find it? Being able to work with a single bookmarks list on MoStard, Amethyst, and a few other clients would be immensely helpful.

It's been, maybe, a decade and a half since I last used a "slider" phone with a proper keyboard but would love to have another one again. It's a true shame that manufacturers stopped making these.
In an ideal world, I'd love to combine GrapheneOS, LineageOS or similar with a phone like this. Being able to type out more extensive content and messages on a real keyboard, that's the dream!

Tech and privacy nerds, has anyone messed around with VeniceAI yet?
Using the free tier, I submitted a few test prompts and got back fairly solid responses, both in terms of text and photo output.
Now, I just need to figure out if they can accept lightning payments or XMR.
