@dcseifert fantastic choice!

@dcseifert do you mind if I ask which board and switches? Awesome build!

@Nicole_Betz the most common thing that crosses over from industry to academia is often the concept of “managing up”; it’s a useful framework but puts even MORE pressure on the academic!!

@Nicole_Betz it was such an epiphany when I realized that managers are generally expected to enable and remove blockers for their direct reports

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now (*cough* academics *cough*) but you really shouldn’t fear your employer, manager, supervisor, PI.
They should be putting in the effort to create a safe and supportive work environment for you.

@caseynewton nice to know you’ll keep hanging out here for the time being 😊

@mbfhunzaker@hci.social congrats! That’s so exciting!

Did I make a mistake making a profile on the largest Mastodon server? Feed is loading quite slowly and the app isn’t doing so great 😅 is the experience better on smaller servers?

@Nicole_Betz oh no! Yeah it’s a bit rough around the edges.

@Kyle_Ireton I figured it out. I was spelling mastodon wrong. Lmao

@Kyle_Ireton okay very basic question: how do I open this server in the app? I’m not able to select mastadon.social from the giant list it gives me

@Kyle_Ireton I don’t know how any of this works Kyle, I feel like a toddler
