After I posted a meme that was an expression of frustration about a ruling that the US president is above the law, I even appended my own joke comment. I deeply regretted it. Especially, since it encouraged others to make statements of joke violence. I should not have opened that door. I felt even worse after Kyle Gass ended up breaking up with Tenacious D and leaving Australia over a similar, if more overt comment.

It took some time to find that post, but I did and deleted it.

I am hardly perfect. I do not believe violence is the answer to any of our problems. The means do not justify the ends, the means ARE the ends. If we want peace in the world, then we must learn how to create peaceful solutions.

I apologise for my actions. I do know better, and I will do even better in the future. ❤

Sometimes I think: maybe I should be in the bigger pond of the federation. Then I think, I am happy in a smaller pond.

I've just created a Google Drive-based tool for enabling students to appreciate each other's class participation in a collaborative way. Totally untested, so I have no idea how it might fly. I'd love your feedback! drive.google.com/drive/folders…
in reply to Nathan Schneider

reminds me of an old system (though more groupwork than class participation) developed at my institution but used less and less - sparkplus.com.au/using-sparkpl… - from memory, a key component (picking up from Ostrom's commons management principles) was getting students to specify the participation criteria at the outset - like writing a constitution for the group

in reply to System76

Great episode! One thing I would have liked to hear about: what is the economic model for Cosmic development? Is it funded by S76 hardware sales? Or are other distros supporting it?

I'm curious from an OSS sustainability perspective.
