The thought occurs to me: what if we had a "no Xmas tree strike" this year... by my back of the envelop calculation, that'd be a few hundred million carbon sequestering, oxygen belching trees... towards our climate-change-arresting global tree planting goals. Not an inconsequential amount.

It's so beautiful to see masses of people switch to Mastodon / the fediverse. Big hope feels.

Saw this interesting article on a long haul flight over the weekend... Seems that India's Twitterati are moving to Mastodon. Good on them. Wonder why more western Twitter users haven't moved... (I've deprecated Twitter. I do all new posts on Mastodon)

This is the sole water fountain in Dublin airport"s int'l departure wing. Having had to empty all drinking vessels to get through security, clearly the airport expects you to buy a new water bottle from the one monopoly water vendor. Greed and #securitytheater are the main reasons air travel is eye-wateringly unsustainable and generally unpleasant.

Whoa. Someone I know quite well at this conference just showed me this heavy duty craft knife... they found at the bottom of their day pack which was also their carry on for multiple int'l flights. It passed undetected through airport security in 3 countries.

Given the indelibility of the Internet, a point to ponder: have you or I already made the social media post that will get us "cancelled" or excommunicated or shunned or perhaps even executed for transgressing an as yet unknown set of social mores in our future?

Hello again OERu partners and observers. I think one thing we need to do at is to define what we mean by "open". What is "open"... and what is not.

Hello all. I work for the OER Foundation as the Open Source Technologist (& also the only technologist).

That infrastructure includes this Mastodon site - welcome to the Fediverse! If you're not sure what that means: newatlas.com/what-is-the-fediv For other examples: fediverse.party

Ok, turns out it's taken longer than expected to transfer our data... going to be taking this down in the next couple minutes to do a final data sync, and then we'll shift over to the new host! This Mastodon will be offline for 5-15 minutes... will aim for the minimum :) See you on the flipside!
