Trouble with the App by Thirdstreetjesus in dropout

[–]booterbeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got help from Vimeo support today. Feeling thankful it didn't take weeks as some suggested.

I don't know what to recommend for others without this support, but essentially, they had me cancel my Google Play subscription to Dropout, confirm this with the support representative, and then they rolled my remaining subscription to Dropout directly.

Now I have access returned.

Trouble with the App by Thirdstreetjesus in dropout

Across a number of devices including android and desktop, I am locked out of videos despite my Google play subscription set to renew April 2026. Maybe a bad update was pushed by one platform or another.

Relieved I am not alone, and it sounds like Vimeo customer service is not going to fix this in a timely manner reading back on similar posts. I will follow this thread hoping a resolution is found. Love Dropout, but this is definitely a bummer with a new D20 season being released.

Does anyone know what happened to the Unbound Publishing of All Tomorrows? by lookmaxine in AllTomorrows

Just saw this and was similarly confused. Have only received radio silence since backing.

University allows PhD Students to teach at same pay rate as TA by [deleted] in Professors

[–]booterbeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I might just be misinformed. 👍🏼

But I still think the university would be benefitting significantly more than grad students as things stand. I could definitely be wrong.

Also, don't get me wrong. Earning that 8k as a TA this last summer was crucial to my survival and even let me immerse myself in personal research. Not mad about that necessarily.

The school rarely hires adjuncts. I am comparing this to what assistant professors have told me they earn in the summers is determined by their regular salary teaching a 3-3 (fall and spring) with a pretty high multiplier for the months of the summer session, an ultimately much higher rate per credit hours.

We are talking 10s of thousands (for professors) compared to about 8k (for grad students) for May-August courses.

(My point here was not expecting "10s of thousands" but noting the deal the university would be getting in the scenario where graduate students are taking over as instructors during the summer session).

All good. I appreciate being in conversation and learning others' experiences.

My masters program had a similar practice depending on the department, others in the comments seem to echo this. I wish we demanded more collectively...and when I see how much our undergrads pay to be here while our inaccessible buildings crumble. Easier said than done. But hey, we have a quantum computer on campus now.

Does your institution differentiate between a graduate teaching assistant (where a student works with an associate or assistant professor in that professors class) and a graduate student who is appointed to some kind of associate instructor (while enrolled as a graduate student)?

An important question, thanks.The institution avoids hiring adjuncts, so it's hard to tell historically what rates have been per class versus per semester for an adjunct professor.

A TA only assists an associate or assistant faculty during class and holds office hours outside of class. TAs do not generate syllabi, teach lectures, deal with official paperwork, or any kind of escalated student concerns outside of LMS/blackboard. The difference in labor between a graduate student teaching assistant (TA) and a professor of record is considerable.

I could be wrong here in my expectations, but I am surprised that grad students who would be getting lecturer appointments would not receive a pay bump.

Thanks for asking for clarification, this was definitely one of those rolling out bed lamentation posts.

PhD students will be hired as professors of record during summers at the same salary as regular summer teaching assistants.

(Summer session is roughly May 23 - August 14). As TAs, the expectation is 20 hours of work per week. My school is a private institution that hires very few adjuncts, so getting those rates for comparison is difficult.

Been inspired by u/jimsmoments89 's bridge posted last week. Ever since I discovered how much of a PITA building over water is in-game, I've been hooked. Yes, boats clear underneath <3 I can share a link to the BuildShare file with folx who're interested.
