I miss IMAP being so fucking cool. CalDav is “good enough”-ish and still beats being locked to google. This actually might be worth a real rant sometime (again?), but I’m way off on a tangent here this morning.
Been using Brave Search since it was public, it's improved a lot since. I also really like Duckduckgo and I use it on mobile, but Brave Search indexes their own sites rather than being a meta search engine, like how ddg uses Bing results. Nothing wrong with meta search engines though, I just personally prefer the way Brave does it.
Enjoy your time there -- a lot of people complain about it but I truly loved RIT. I hope they've maintained some of the feel of the campus among all the development which has happened... I can't believe that the Riverknoll apartments are apparently still in use!
I recommend picking up a philosophy class with Dr Selinger if you've got a free elective hanging around.
PS the semester system is bullshit, quarters forever
I end up back on campus now and then, despite having graduated and moved away ten years ago - it's definitely just as interesting to see what's changed as what _hasn't_ changed.
I graduated right before the quarter-to-semester conversion happened, and heard more than my share of horror stories about lagging 10-week classes getting taught in 15, or worse, two 10-week classes smashed into a 20-week class, then taught in 15. Luckily, the writing was on the wall, so I ended up taking 32 course credits off-campus, and providing three years of pay stubs so that I could count part-time work as a co-op block, just so that I could graduate early.
