I dislike the fact that "ads" can also include crapware being injected into my computer (viruses, tracking cookies, mysterious scripts, etc).

I agree. There is this scene at the very beginning of Back to the Future 2 where the sky is full of flying cars and they risk running into each other because there are no lanes and everyone is driving recklessly. That's an omen! ๐Ÿ˜„

Ah, wow. So some exams are happening online, even though classes are in person! There goes a combination I had not thought about. It is annoying to still need Respondus though, even if I understand why

Interesting (and annoying). I imagined that most exams went back to the usual pen and paper or laboratory, but there were tests written on laptops and in class long before the pandemic. I had forgotten about those!

You're our hero!

How do you stay in a community, but filter content you don't want through keywords?

Is it still being implemented? This awesome article is from 2022.

I just tried to look for newer hits, but I keep getting articles from 2022 (though several from Nature)

Wait, are universities still using Respondus?

I feel for you. It was used a lot during the beginning of the pandemic, but I thought it was dropped by now.

I've been a lurker on Reddit for forever (about 15 years) and then the APIcalypse happened and my first and unique post on Reddit was asking for a Tildes invite. I didn't enjoy Tildes, so now I'm here. We're so much less that I feel I can't lurk here too, so now I regularly comment here.

I apologize if I haven't seen it in another comment, but there is a category missing (sort of, let me quickly explain).

I like reading books from my phone with a dark theme (inverted colors). It's not exactly an e-reader, though it is electronic.

I don't claim it's the best way, it's just very convenient because of (former Reddit)/(now Lemmy) addiction to using my phone to read about cool stuff.

It's particularly handy before sleeping or when commuting

Edit: added last sentence

I can't argue with that point, but I think Michael Keaton is a great actor and could lift the movie, but the trailer didn't excite me at all...

Wow, this is really how it happened?!? Unbelievable. Well done Spez, all your creativity shines every day...
