I half expected this post ending with HA turning itself off

Could you be more specific?

 

Basically using Homework as learning...

 

If you're thinking about doing some gamification in your classes next year, I found a website that can help. FantasyClass is an opensource website ( Github ) that can help keep track of student points, XP, levels, and items. It can help your class tell a collective story together throughout the year.

Great read about different reproductions of famous art!

Believe it or not, as I play I keep finding parallels to Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Now the badge system being equipped per character is different, but the block/parry system feels similar in a comforting way.

Community: Every Subway storyline (especially the Britta relationship)

A few questions:

  • Was there a time limit?
  • How much did it cost?

I think it's probably because this is a repost article.

An earlier version of this article was published in 2019.

TL:DR: They don't need to listen to you. They already track "your metadata"

"To make it happen, Facebook would need to record everything your phone hears while it's on,” Garcia-Martinez explained in 2017. “This is functionally equivalent to an always-on phone call from you to Facebook. Your average voice-over-internet call takes something like 24 kbps one way, which amounts to about 3 kBs of data per second. Assume you've got your phone on half the day, that's about 130 MBs per day, per user. There are around 150 million daily active users in the US, so that's about 20 petabytes per day, just in the US. To put that in perspective, Facebook's entire data storage is 'only' about 300 petabytes, with a daily ingestion rate of about 600 terabytes.”

But there are scores of other data points the system has on you to determine what you should see at any given point. Not only does the system know exactly where you are at every moment, it knows who your friends are, what they are interested in, and who you are spending time with. It can track you across all your devices, log call and text metadata on Android phones, and even watch you write something that you end up deleting and never actually send.

Uow about some visual novel style games like 999, Hotel Dusk (DS emulator), Ghost Trick, Professor Layton (DS emulator or mobile)

I mean, I also believe it may be a fake event

 

Here's a tool that I haven't seen posted on here that I'm using in my class this year. It's a nonprofit owned tool (and not self promotion).

What I was looking for:

  • I wanted something like Anki for individual student daily review. But I wanted a way to grade the quick practice (for the start of class). I also wanted a way to give them credit for doing their reviews in class or as homework.

Why I like it:

  • I can make the cards
  • Students get individual reviews based on how they did on that card in the past.
  • Students can be given a grade for doing their reviews, no matter how they preform on them. (Making low stakes practice get points)
  • Cards can be tied to standards

What I don't necessarily like:

  • I have to make all cards (there is an AI tool, but I haven't gotten wide success with it)
  • There's not a cloze type card (Multiple fill-in-the-blanks get converted to multiple cards)
 

Here's one of my favorite music videos. I think this fits the theme of this community, but please remove if you don't agree.

 

I've been playing The Case of the Golden Idol this week and I love how it doesn't pull punches and how I actually have to figure things out without a multiple choice quiz.

A rarely mentioned cute little puzzle game that you might like is called Carto.

What are your favorite mystery/puzzle games that don't spoon-feed you?

 

This is a favorite of mine.

As we wrap up the school year I've been thinking about gamifying my classroom next year. Does anyone have any experience with it?

 

I have a TrueNAS scale NAS setup and I would like to host a matrix server. Do I have any options? Any particular implementation that I should go with? Does anyone have any experience with this?

I'm looking for an Android python ~~compiler~~ interpreter that runs locally on my phone. Any suggestions are appreciated. FOSS apps preferred of course.

Edit: changed compiler to interpreter

Edit 2: I ended up going with Pydroid3. I wish there was a FOSS alternative.
