Could we replace college with something like Chess or Go, for general intelligence requirements? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I'm a 3 dan Go player and active in the scene. This idea is horrible. The players are nice and tend to be smart but that is absolutely no proper criterion for educational admission.

    Whats a secret you'll never tell anyone irl? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

    You did well, mate. You can hold your head high. I'm from an anti-education environment so I can relate to your sentiment.

    I'm not a prof myself, but a PhD student with teaching duty. My prof went full emergency/survival mode this year to somehow deal with the amount of students. It's going to be a worse experience for the students even though he and the PhD students spent a lot more time than usual on preparations. I'm only able to speak from my own viewpoint, but I'd put the blame on, partially, the uni admin for ignoring the issues, but mostly on political neglect. With conservatives in power here in Germany, I have little hope. And in the US, I'd probably have left.

    I teach at uni. sorry to hear that. Did you try to get the problems fixed, even if not successfully? Did you still try to learn and understand the material? If so, i won't blame you.

    It's tough because on this side, the overhead and also the cheating exploded with COVID and with ai. We need more people to improve classes but there is no money and everyone is over capacity. My class grew from 25 to 150 students within 3 years and there is no help.

    Disagree. The AI will say things like taxing the rich more or preserve nature etc. Society won't listen to that, or more precisely won't follow this advice, because the deciders do not like this idea.

    Move window within monitor and across monitors with same hotkey (lemmy.sdf.org)
     

    My understanding is that windows are moved withint a screen using Win+Arrow and across screens with Win+Shift+Arrow. I would like to unify this, to move windows around without pressing shift.

    In Windows, it it possible to move a window to, e.g., the left edge of a screen with Win+Left. A subsequent Win+Left press then moves it to (the right edge of) the monitor to its left. I find this simpler and also substantially quicker. Is it possible to replicate this behavior?

    Alternating pressing shift is rather burdensome for me, as my fingers are not as quick and flexible as they used to be, and neither is my brain, for these split-second tasks that happen a thousand times every day.

    Take screenshot in linux using dotnet (lemmy.sdf.org)

    I want to take a screenshot. In Windows, that's a simple Graphics::CopyFromScreen call.

    In Linux, I feel a little confused on how to do this. It seems there is a principal and stark distinction between X11 and Wayland, so I have to include both code paths. For either, it seems there is quite a lot of boilerplate code, often tagged as 'may break depending on your configuration, good luck'.

    Effectively, what I found is recommended most often is to call ffmpeg to let it handle that. I'm sure that works, but I find it rather unpalatable.

    I find this strange. Taking a screenshot is, in my mind at least, supposed to be a straightforward part of a standard library. Perhaps it is, and I just completely missed it? If not, is there a good library that works out-of-the-box on most variants of linux?

    Update: Thank you all for the input. I eventually went with calling ImageMagick. It is fast, easy to use, well documented, and supports capturing arbitrary displays with little effort.
