@kev Sounds like if you could find someone to make them you could have a good business idea.

I will ask phillw who runs the server, on IRC to see if there is a reported issue anywhere.

@kev I have never seen a mouse that is specifically for left handed people, i know you can swap the buttons around with software.

The advent mouse I have here seems to be symmetrical, so not sure if that is suitable for both.

At one time you could buy rulers for left handed people, so the numbers were written in the opposite direction so rather than 1 - 15 for a 15cm (6") ruler it would go 15 - 1.

You can sign up at faircam.net/ (free) have an experiment and make sure the sound etc works ok, (may need to play with sound settings etc)

Or once everyone is signed up then we can arrange a time when we can try it out.

Which gives people a starting point, the daily study groups look interesting.

@design_RG Cool I will add that to the maths section.

I have access to BigBlueButton So we could use that here if we wanted video chat.

It is free to sign up to, so approving signups isn't an issue either, Maybe handy if we wanted to do some sort of video presentation or teaching, as you can upload pdf presentations and also have access to a whiteboard.

Sometimes I feel like banging my head against a wall. Trying to suggest alternatives to spyware and proprietary systems, people don't get it .

I appreciate these are different ways, but they are all commercial, closed source and zoom just routes via china and is not even offering basic encryption for free users.

The living coasts attraction in Torquay has had to close due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Anyone know of other zoos or perhaps marine research facilities could look in to taking over the site.

If anyone can help, maybe contact the Torbay Development Agency regarding this

There HAS to be some research people out there, who could benefit from having a base in South Devon with Easy Access to Plymouth and Exeter universities, and 4 hours (ish) to London by train.
