#EDT4OL 🥰 The Acceptance Portfolio seems challenging and interesting...pressed for time between work and study...very useful course❤️ 💻

Wow, these improvements to the next major version of BigBlueButton will be great! https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/2.6/new.html

Give Up GitHub: The Time Has Come

Listening to this: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/afternoons/audio/2018847654/using-technology-to-give-voices-back-to-asl-sufferers on RNZ I'm struck how wrong it is that this work is being done with a profit motive. Rather than improving things for people suffering pretty horrible disabilities, it's seems focused on improving bottom lines for shareholders. 1/2

Here's a bit more bg on the new B.C. Open Collection site https://bccampus.ca/2022/06/16/creating-a-better-user-experience-for-the-b-c-open-collection/ and the launch trailer https://media.bccampus.ca/media/B.C.+Open+Collection+Launch/0_b5q54e9d

@efakaua so great to hear this! All the best for tomorrow - hoping the MiLLL launch is videoed & recorded in some way - would love to see it after the fact!

@mackiwg Absolutely, we'll be showcasing Mastodon tomorrow at the launch.

I'm looking to talk to someone, ideally from an agency or small cooperative, who has switched to Nextcloud.

I'm interested in how people have things like Time Tracking and Deck configured for project/client work.

(please boost!)

I joined the #EDT4OL course because learning is always the way forward to gain and keep on improving.

The internet is broken because the internet is a business

Realizing in some old school blog comment conversation how that is different— you are saying something to a person, the post author or another commenter. In social media a lot of the saying is really to be heard by many, and I weary of the posturing.

Web 3.0 is dead. Can we go back to Web 1.0 now please?

Seriously, let’s make Web n.0 the version where all things are free and equal, and the internet becomes the global open access resource it originally promised to be.

My web browser is acting odd. Watch what happens to these links, they get sent elsewhere.

@dajbelshaw @clintlalonde @mackiwg I'd walk a kilometer in your imperial shoes.
