> "The design of Romania’s educational system makes it perhaps the most stratified educational system in the world."
Nice quote from an article on education in #Romania that quotes interesting studies, describes factually some dyanamics, but is puzzling and problematic in its logic and, most of all, conclusions.

Vous vous rendez compte que là je vais aller me coucher pour aller travailler demain alors que je pourrais passer la nuit sur ce sympathique (enfin selon moi) dessin d’Hollow Knight destiné à un collègue ? Je dis pas ça pour vous convaincre d’abolir le travail pour me permettre de le finir plus vite mais c’est une idée hein je pose juste ça là comme on dit

This toot fosstodon.org/@interlisp/11512… led me via a reference to Edmund C. Berkeley (as coauthor with L. Peter Deutsch of "The LISP Implementation for the PDP-1 Computer", March 1964 and author of "Giant Brains, or Machines that Think", 1949) to the 1950 2-bit relay computer Simon and then to Harry Porter's Relay Computer:

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Margaret E. Atwood's verified account on X.com. The tweet is a satirical piece of literature, humorously titled "The Handmaid's Tale," intended for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools. It contrasts the fictional characters John and Mary with those in Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale," highlighting their virtuous behavior and the Minister of Education's perceived oversight. The tweet humorously criticizes the Minister's view of teenagers, suggesting they are "stupid babies." It also pokes fun at the characters' religious beliefs and capitalist practices, referencing Ayn Rand and "The Fountainhead." The tweet concludes with a reference to Danielle Smith's situation, adding a layer of satire. The tweet has garnered 56K views and was posted at 12:22 PM on August 31, 2025.

From @sergio.chapa in 2023: Given a pace of about three miles per hour, it would take roughly 32 hours to hike the entire trail nonstop. Hiking about eight hours per day means less than a week of hiking and camping.

U.S. suspends visas for Palestinian passport holders, officials say.
August 31, 2025 ~4:20pm
The Trump administration has enacted a sweeping suspension of approvals of almost all types of visitor visas for Palestinian passport holders, according to American officials.The new policy goes beyond the restrictions announced by U.S. officials recently on visitor visas for Palestinians from Gaza. Last week, the State Department also said it would not issue visas to Palestinian officials to attend the annual U.N. General Assembly in New York next month.

Hello folks on Mastodon.social! 👋🏻
I cannot see most of your posts or your profile by default.
This is because my instance hides your instance.
I am not ignoring you; I don’t see you!
Your instance is sadly a hotbed of scam accounts. There are plenty of other servers you can join.
Finding the right instance for your tastes can be challenging, but luckily, helpful articles explain the whole moving process. Good luck!

@herrherrmann mastodon.social is way too big, has unmoderated signups and is very badly moderated. That leads to a lot of problems for the Fediverse.
First and most obvious is the regular scam waves coming from m.s and other big servers with unmoderated signups.
But far worse is that such a big server is a big pain for well moderated servers: Moderators on smaller servers spend a lot of unpaid time moderating accounts and posts on m.s, while moderators on m.s get paid for moderating badly.
If a small server is moderated this badly, its easy to just block it as a whole, but if I blocked m.s that would probably lead to many people leaving my server and moving to m.s or another big, badly moderated server, because m.s is about 25% of the Fediverse.
Saying m.s is not part of the Fediverse is of course technically not true, but if you, like me, define the Fediverse as a non-central network, then a server hoarding 25% of the users does not fall under that definition.
m.s is #TooBigTooFail
