@hansw @nemo or just make lots of blog posts, interact here and link that material to the outside world. and say happy to discuss here on the fediverse

@nemo This may help to explain about free software (as in freedom) which is where GNU comes from

@nemo

If it helps I made a impress presentation
https://salsa.debian.org/zleap-guest/mastodonpresentation

I just need a local audience to present this too, and convince people to let me actually do it, this pandemic is holding me back too much.

@nemo I think we need to convince exam boards such as https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edsq/entry-level-and-level-1-in-eds.html who run basic skills courses to include proper mention of the fediverse, they mention Linux at least in the latest draft spec. I am trying to get in touch to correct that to GNU / Linux.

@nemo cool thanks,

@nemo my blog is at https://personaljournal.ca/paulsutton/

I am trying to develop some useful resources for LibreOffice, to cover basics

https://personaljournal.ca/libreoffice/

But yeah kinda personal project to promote free software and alternatives,.

@hansw @nemo they are working on it, in the mean time there are other providers.

@nemo
https://www.learnmyway.com/

These are the key people if the alternatives are not listed then no one will ever know till too late.

@nemo Indeed, I need to sort my librepay thing out.too.

Lets share this, and at the same time try and convince people running basic skills courses to include the alternatives, to the usual software, too biased most of them.

Resistance is growing, as is the fedviverse.

@nemo These will keep me busy with blog posts for a few days :)

@nemo @hansw disroot is great, however they are having issues with e-mail being blocked so have suspended e-mail signup but everything else works fine, hopefully they can fix the issue.

@karangrep @nemo you may want to follow @aral , Aral is working on small-web which is an interesting project

https://small-tech.org/

@nemo @karangrep no problem,

@karangrep @nemo
I think all you can do is try and mitigate as much as possible so use duckduckgo for search for example.

@nemo that looks really nice thanks

@info_activism Quite a few people have forums Only on facebook, I wonder if they could be hit with anti trust lawsuits too.

There is an 'assumption' that people use and b) people want to use facebook,

I think GoDot are a fantastic example on how perhaps to do things the right way, be on as many as possible.

@AgentCarter_SSR

Firstly condolences for your loss.

Well they are the outgoing staff anyway I guess but yes.

Unless they stay on, in which case it could be an attempt by Trump to undermine the next administration.

@aral is there a small web - web cast this week ?
