@globcoco @freemo Yeah but I like things like the Standard Model stuff even though it is hard to really get your head round. But it sets the benchmark that little higher.

Should provoke some interesting discussions at least.

I have a motivation for the Covid 19 stuff to get Code Club back up ASAP for the sake of the people attending at least. Understanding what this isolation is doing to people is important.

I think given what is currently trending on Twitter, they may appreciate a better place to share cat pictures.

Some if not most of the road signs in Wales are in English too. Llanfairpwllgwyngyll is the longest name in the world still.

In a similar way

Westward Ho! is the only place with an exclamation mark at the end.

Cornwall has it's own language too.

@emacsen I am not a programmer, so can't help in that sense.

What may be good is a break down of what programming languages / frameworks etc are used, and how people can go about learning these (lets assume we start with someone with minimal coding skills but wants to learn)

I can then perhaps put this on my blog and on the qoto.org discourse forum to see if by collating this information it will help others help with the project in general

So if the project uses c++ then the codecademy course that teachers that could be a first step, which can at least be built on.

I would like to see this sort of thing expanded to other projects to try and get new blood in to the FOSS ecosystem.

Published my blog post on the e-learning forum, so hopefully I can attract more people here.

@globcoco @freemo Thanks, the UBI article is interest, i am in support of UBI even more so in the current situation but within the gig economy people may not always get work or work is just random.

Agencies, well some of the more unprofessional ones just ghost people and other employers mess people around, exploitation so people need a decent safety net.

@kushal @schestowitz The issue here is, if evidence is obtained in a way that is legally questionable , convictions can be quashed / overturned even for the most vile of individual., A good lawyer will be easily paid for as the other side (legal systen / taxpayers) will lose and pay the legal fees, leaving predators free to carry on putting more lives at risk.

The law and procedures for collecting evidence surely exist for a reason to help build a water tight case.

@schestowitz Hmm, if they did that they wouldn't be able to sell their software / services to anyone pretty much.

To start us off, here's a #FollowFriday post of interesting #Fediverse accounts to follow:

🌟 @Krita - Wonderful free open painting software

🌟 @libreoffice - Makers of LibreOffice, the free open office suite

🌟 @omgubuntu - Articles about Ubuntu, Linux and open software

🌟 @k9mail - FLOSS email app for Android, its development has recently become more active after a break

🌟 @briar - A confidential messaging system for Android
