Chicken and egg. The tuitions have been able to reach the insane heights due to the ready availability of these loans.
It was a lot harder to get loans thirty years ago. Almost on par with the criteria for any other personal loan. A four year CompSci degree that could be had for under $25K, in total, opened the door to a $45K to $60K entry level position for a typical graduate.
Availability of loans broke wide open, under the guise of providing opportunity, and now the same degree costs 5-10x with yet the typical entry level salary remains more or less the same, give or take a few inflation points.
Muddybulldog@mylemmy.winto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane?English3·2 years agoHighly depends on the quality of the sidewalk. While I love the aesthetic of my neighborhood much of the sidewalk is barely maintained brick and cobbles. Wheelchairs are safer in the road in many areas.
I’ll raise you with… “I know I’m looking for something. What the hell am I looking for?”

Luke staring pensively out into the distance as he considers his place in the universe and where it may or may not go. I’d be staggered to find anyone who can’t relate to that.

Muddybulldog@mylemmy.winto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•lemmy.world blocked the largest piracy community in all of lemmyEnglish41·2 years agoLemmy isn’t one place. It’s hundred of independent places across the globe that communicate with each other. Each subject to the laws where they are hosted, the laws where they provide service and the judgements of their independent administrators.
Muddybulldog@mylemmy.winto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What happened to the main Piracy communityEnglish161·2 years agoThey’re trying to avoid law enforcement and lawyers at their doors.
Even if you prevail, either can be a very expensive and/or destructive process.
Make no mistake, Reddit’s recent refusal to provide details surrounding users that were discussing piracy is highly unlikely to happen in the fediverse. Admins are going to get hit with a subpoena and comply because they can’t afford not to.
Muddybulldog@mylemmy.winto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do washing machines prevent opening the hatch just after the washing cycle ends?English49·2 years agoIt’s not a component aware system. The last phase is generally the spin cycle. The controller knows to trigger the spin cycle, it knows to stop the spin cycle after a period of time. What it doesn’t know is whether those things actually happened. Particularly, it doesn’t know that the drum has actually stopped spinning. So, it just wait a predetermined amount of time before unlocking the door.
In the case of my own device the door actuator uses a wax motor. Put simply, current is changed to heat which melts the wax, pushing a pin the locks the door. To open the door, current is removed, the wax cools, hardens and shrinks and the pin slides back. Now the door can open. So, even if I remove power during a cycle the door will eventually unlock as the wax cools.

Your response was, let’s say, verbose.

Muddybulldog@mylemmy.winto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[Serious] How can a person "rejection-proof" their life?English3·2 years agoYou can search anything on Google and find that it’s a very real and frightening problem. It’s the worlds largest bias-confirming echo chamber of that’s how you choose to use it.
Muddybulldog@mylemmy.winto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some downsides of software being federated?English2·2 years agoTheoretically, yes. Practically, maybe not so much as a ton of these smaller instances are consolidated on a just a handful of hosting providers.

I don’t think so. Two paid upgrades in eight years.
