I am trying to browse voyager and listen to a podcast at the same time and it's such a shit show.

I guess it makes sense that they're natural allies.

To me I don't see them defending 4chan at all. I see you defending Twitter.

These were humanities classes, where I'd pick up some nuance in the lecture/ discussion i had missed. We had textbooks but there was a lot of stuff in the lectures that weren't in the text.

I used to handwrite and record lectures, and listening to it back, it was amazing how much I had missed while writing stuff down.

I'm still in favor of handwriting because my notes were thoughtful and helpful, it was just eye opening how much more I heard the second time through.

Depends on the class. Pretty unreasonable in a 200+ lecture hall, but a respected professor setting up a small seminar like this to remove distractions sounds like a fair prerogative to create an environment conducive to learning.

Ofc if a student asked for a reasonable accommodation that's probably chill too.

That sounds like one of those rare appropriate use cases.

I'm sensing a lot of resistance.

Stupid article. You don't need 240 V , you can charge with a regular wall plug. For a lot of usage patterns this is more than enough.

More context from the article:

At the turn of the millennium, newspapers relied on classifieds for an average of 30% of their revenues. Martin and his colleagues found that the loss of this revenue led newspaper executives to cut costs largely by shrinking local political news coverage.
