LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} (lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net)'s status on Friday, 22-Mar-2024 01:54:01 UTC LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} I haven't been anywhere in a couple of weeks, except:
Last weekend, while my son and daughter-in-law were out of town for their first weekend away from the kids, #GS4 had a medical issue and I had to drive him to the doctor's office.
Thus, it is likely that exposure to the doctor gave me a cold.
It is getting better, and will probably be gone completely in another day or two.
The cold seems to have sapped my energy. I've been doing an hour or so of #DataCamp, plus another hour or so of #Coursera each night, but recently it is either one or the other. -

Let me say that I am very, very grateful to both #NYS unemployment for paying for the #Coursera programs (Google CyberSecurity & IBM Backend) and to Brandon (bthall) for paying for the #DataCamp subscription.
With all that is happening, it is quite difficult to force myself to do these courses every day ... but I try my best to participate in both of them (and some #Udemy courses that I paid for in the past) despite the obstacles. I'm nowhere near 100% successful, but I'm doing my best. -

For example, I needed to say which #Python datatype `print(type("True"))` shows. I saw `True` and completely missed the quotation marks, so I said "<class Boolean>", which was wrong.
That's a frequent thing on their courses, but I've never encountered it with #Coursera or #Udemy or #Udacity or #Linda.com / #LinkedInLearning. It feels like they're intentionally tripping me up with gotchas. -

(Yeah, I know. Everything we tell our users NOT to do.) -

Take this survey to tell us why you stopped working on it.
I was feeling charitable, so I did take their survey. -

"Hello Andreas! Thanks for reaching out to us.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I'm afraid that the ReCaptcha procedure cannot be removed. This was implemented by Coursera to all people who will log in/sing in in our platform, and was chosen for security policies."
Well. I understand why one would use ANY captcha. I just take issue with using #ReCaptcha specifically, due to the vendor lock-in with #Google, and the force of free labor. -
André E. Veltstra (aeveltstra@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 14-Mar-2019 12:59:49 UTC André E. Veltstra Hey, #Coursera! Please #RemoveRecaptcha from your log-in forms? I prefer NOT to perform free labor to train #Google's optical-recognition a.i.. Thank you!

After @SlackHQ@twitter.com, now it’s @coursera@twitter.com’s turn to limit issuance of course certificates because of one’s nationality!
Honestly, never expected to see this from an educational platform.

André E. Veltstra (aeveltstra@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 15-Jan-2019 11:41:24 UTC André E. Veltstra Dear #Coursera,
I know you offer courses on how to write #HTML, and on #UX. Then how hard can it be for your #frontEndDevelopers /#webdev personnel to write #unsubscribe #htmlForms that work?
The screen shot included here shows your forum notification unsubscribe form. That button? Yeah, it DOESN'T work.
Why?
Because it requires #javascript. And it FAILS to say so.
