How I’m adapting Jacques Ranciere’s “The Ignorant Schoolmaster“ into the Curriculum.

Ranciere’s “The Ignorant Schoolmaster” (1987) is a seminal work in the field of education and has been widely discussed and debated within the realm of game studies. The book presents a unique approach to teaching and learning, in which the teacher is seen as an “ignorant schoolmaster” who is able to lead their students to knowledge through their own ignorance. One of the key arguments in…

I love to assume that I’m just fucking nailing being an adult, like, I’ll be getting cocky over it, and then five minutes later I’m crying and reassuring myself it’s gonna be fine because I had to set up my college’s printer system on my device by myself

I have several books for children written and I'm working on illustrations.

Here's my issue. I am so tech illiterate. If you need to learn to use a drop spindle or make a bone fish hook, I'm your guy! But I have no idea how to get a picture into a computer and put it all together into a book. Everything I've had published so far was not illustrated. So here's what I need!

I need tutorials/instructions that break this stuff down like it's being explained to a grade schooler.

How do I get an image onto a computer? Do I take a picture with my phone and send it to myself?

What image quality is needed? How do I determine that?

How does image sizing work? How do I adjust sizing and file types for different applications? How do I know what is needed for those things?

How do I edit an image on a computer? I have GIMP and Canva and Krita but don't know how to use them (except I do know how to make a book in Canva once I have the text and images within the needed parameters. I've only done text and covers tho)

What is a layer? How do those work?

Basically I have no money, I use pretty much exclusively open source and free programs like LibreOffice. I have a smartphone, a tablet, and a laptop. None of them are high end. Got the phone free with the phone plan, the other 2 were gifts, I do not have the option of upgrading or buying additional equipment.

But I have ideas. I have stuff I need to create. So I need to find a way to do it with the stuff I have. I am gonna learn this skill set, old dog style. Any links, tag search recommendations, threads with info, videos, anything will be so appreciated.

If it helps, the first book is called "The Shrike And The Murder Bush"

Thanks babes 😉❤️

A promotional video that I put together for an airsoft event last year.

We rigged up these goofy little units to play a game of hot/cold on the map and I wanted a themed teaser we could loop for it.

I love my grandma but jesus christ helping old people with technology is insufferablellee

She's trying to get pictures from the photography company my cousins used and she was like, "I clicked the link and something popped up and I don't know!" And Gabe me her phone to figure it out.

It was a prompt for her email address. "Enter your email address"

Like. Old people Read And Follow Instructions Challenge.

My new job is cool bc it’s less demanding than my last one and I’m learning useful skills and doing a lot to help the community. Unfortunately I’m also working with people who do not know how to send a slide show as an email attachment.

I am crocheting my first QR code. Here's how you can too :)

In order to complete this project you will need to know how to read a crochet graph and how to carry color. If you are not sure search "how to tapestry crochet"

It is not too difficult but I do not recommend this as your first Tapestry crochet project but maybe your third or fourth one because the code will only work if you make this correctly. I dont want you to spend 5 hours making this just for it to not work :'(

1. Go to stitchfiddle.com

2. Select create new chart -> crochet -> crochet with colors -> no yarn preference -> create from QR code -> from the drop menu for type I selected website -> copy and paste the URL -> size 1 -> open chart

3. I am using medium 4 weight yarn and a 3.5 mm hook. I am adding a border that is 2 rows and 4 st9tches thick. I am also using 2 DC per pixel, so...

4. My QR code is 29 pixels wide. 2 DC per pixel means the code will be 58 stitches wide. I am adding a border 4 stitches thick. So 4 DC for the left and 4 DC for the right makes each row a total of 64 stitches wide.

5. QR codes are square so that means mine is also 29 pixels/ rows tall. I am adding that border which is 2 rows thick. So 2 rows for the top and 2 rows for the bottom which makes it 33 rows tall. This does not include the initial chain.

6. It's important that how ever many rows you decide to start with before you begin your code graph that you are facing the front of the work when you start row 1 of the code.

7. Begin this in your light color (white, yellow, light blue etc) Your border MUST being a certain thickness and must be a light color. It will not scan if your border is too dark or too thin. Trust me, I had to add stitches to make mine work.

Row 1: Chain 63 + 2, DC into 3rd chain from hook, DC across (64 double crochets including that chain 2)

8. Starting rows with a "SC in SC type DC":

SC into the top of the last DC of the previous row, SC into that SC. This is how every row will start. It's thicker and fills in space better than starting a row with a chain 2. Or chain 2 instead Idc its your life my guy.

Row 2: Either Chain 2 or make the SC in SC type DC then DC across (64)

9. Row 3: Either Chain 2 or make the SC in SC type DC to start then DC across

10. We have just finished the bottom edge of the border and will now begin the code. Start with two DC stitches then begin the graph. Remember each pixel / square is made up of two DC stitches. Carry your colors on the back of the work making sure to keep a gentle tension which will help the work lay flat. You can block this if it is too wavy or wrinkly.

Row 4: Ch 2, DC into the next 3 stitches, then begin your QR Code graph. Carry Color on the back side. 2 DC per pixel or square on your graph.

11. If your code does not scan

-Try adding an additional row of stitches to each side. I had to do a full border of DC all around mine to make it work

-Try stretching it wider and taller to make the stitches sit better

-Try actually blocking the square

-Try going through and eyeballing any where a stitch might have been lost, like a square thats only 1 DC wide for some reason. You can Hand embroider over the top of the stitch in the color it is supposed to be. Its not a complete loss! You can see where this wouldve happened because its actually noticable, there will be a wierd stairstep where there should be a corner touching another corner.

-Try going through and making sure you followed the graph exactly, square for square. Im sorry and good luck. If you got a square that was one color but shouldve been another you can hand embroider over the top to make it the color it should be. You got this.

I honestly like. I am so so tired today and I've had a bad and busy one and haven't had time to sit here and think about this. and I truly truly mainly think we lack enough information about this potential release to make any complete judgements on it. but as it stands right now I feel comfortable saying that I think constructing a new song, creating new pieces of it and releasing it now as a "Beatles song" does not sit right with me. I do not think the technology used is the issue here. this coming up in the same conversation as the AI discussion I think has created some confusion about exactly what its being used for- its just a form of remastering tracks. but the idea that this is something they've built up anew, for ME? isn't right. if it IS Now and Then I don't think its entirely right of them to use George's guitar from when they worked on it on anthology and put it out, and it wouldn't be right to do it without his work either.

George was insanely particular about his playing and would exhaustively rerecord his parts until he thought it was EXACTLY right. do you think he got there with a track he didn't think they should complete? whether or not he only didn't want to work with it due to the sound quality or not, using that recording now as a finished product doesn't align with that. as a rule of thumb I am very trusting of Olivia and Dhani's handling of George's legacy and all but something just feels off to me about this. I genuinely am asking because I don't know, but do we know how much of a say the Harrison estate has in things like this?

frankly the biggest thing bothering me about all of this is the way people have taken this as an opportunity to just be really openly shitty to George. he wasn't even mentioned in the interview and so many people are just framing this as an opportunity to stick it to George, or actively even saying pretty callous things about him being dead so thank god this could finally get made.

I do want to hear more about what this track is ACTUALLY going to be or going to look like but I'm really disappointed in a lot of people's reactions, whether it be encouraging MORE AI to be used in the production of music or if its jumping at the chance to talk shit on George and his position in the band. it's a sad sad day to look around at this community. I don't understand some of the people who call themselves fans here. I think we should put out old demo tracks fuckin all day long. Even if it is a recording of them playing here and now in the anthology session simply cleaned up, I don't see an issue with that. But finishing anything and changing it and calling it a new single? I'll feel a little strange about that.

// My customer service mutuals . . . you ever have that one guest who just DRAINS your social battery near immediately? So, for our hotel's wifi, you have to select an option that says ' 14 days free ' or else you get charged. I explain this to the guest.

Tell me why this guest goes ' I don't see the 14 day option, only $12.95, $19.95, and 14 days. '

And then she proceeds to choose one of the priced options.

I'm... I had to stop and just... stare for a moment. And then open the reservation and adjust off the charge because LITERALLY what and HOW???
