Sometimes, a flat diagram works better as it is easier to maintain, my solution could take a long time

Sometimes simple works better too.

Not too sure, you may want to draw one out on paper first. Then perhaps throw up a web page with links that jump from section to section depending on answers to questions.

There is something like this for fedora and libreoffice contribution, but i think both are not official so are hard to find.

This has happened before and they lost a landslide in 1997, to labour.

This is where computer groups are really handy, you can throw a list of books on the group mailing list, and if anyone is interested arrange to eitehr bring to a meeting or pick up / swap.

The lisp book may be useful for people using / developing emacs for example.

I guess I just don't like throwing books away, a lot of people would say bin em as they are out of date

@garyackerman

Agreed with reforming so people are better prepared, this should not simply be academically but also by ensuring education is relevant absenteeism can be reduced as education is relevent, there are clear expectations as to behaviour, matched in the work place.

Given the issues with the NHS I would make first aid compulsory as a subject, updated every 3 years so in the uk students start secondary at 11 and leave at 18. so they would learn first aid at 11, 14, and 17, as usually the certificate lasts 3 years. this would give them useful skills, same would go for health and safety and handling of chemicals, both would be compulsory part of undertaking science courses, you then get the certificate to go along side the academic qualification.

While this is good advice, maintaining eye contact is harder for people with #autism. So they may not be able to. Employers are required to make reasonable ajustments to help people, so would allowing for Autisic people not to make eye conact be reasonable and what would be some good ways for employers (interview panels) to allow for this.

I am not Autistic, just picked up on the eye contact so I could ask.

While I agree, most people out there will undertake video chat with either zoom or teams, neither of which are good for privacy, so by sayng interviews will be on teams, is on their terms. THis is fine, it is they who are doing the interview.

As I have access to big blue button ( bbb ), I use that if trying to set up meetings where I am the host, it actually works in many cases, once people are given the info, I am aware people have never heard of it, so send them a bbb website link for info and even a link to the test server so they can have a go first, so when theh join my meeting they just click on a link.

It can sort of work with job interviews, explain you use Linux, don't have teams or a microsoft account, but send them a bbb link and offer that as a solution,

LinkedIn went down this path years ago, maybe that was the point, a professional network grooms the very people who create websites, use SEO, run business so everything appears normal.

@specwill @doctorow

Given SEO is seen as a key tech that helps people find a business,web designers are really pushing this part of their web design services.
If this happens the main group who will suffer will probably be sole traders and SMEs who need every penny they earn to help make ends meet and keep going.
