@kino I thought unis in the uS had banned zoom
and were using big blue button maybe some have
@kino yeah i know teh OU use that and teams I can't use either.
as a work around from teams the student group used some other tool using Flash, which is not even supported any more
@kino You can install zoom on a snap, it is not just universities, lots of places love zoom, one reason why we need to educate people about alternatives
@FriendsofScience @disclosetv Good grief do people realise that bill gates is NOT a scientist

I don't share many petitions but this one is really important.
The American Postal Workers Union is looking for signatures for this petition to President Biden asking him to quickly fill the vacancies on the USPS Board of Governors with progressive, capable people.
If the three empty spots are filled correctly, Republicans will be in the minority and Louis DeJoy, the Postmaster General who has caused so many problems for us and postal workers, will be depowered.
Give it a sign, please. 🖋 #Unions #PostalWorkers
The American Postal Workers Union - Sign the petition for a pro-postal pro-worker Postal Service Board of Governors:

@hntooter Sometimes you need to watch a tutorial video, then follow along and do some of the items being taught in a real environment to help you learn, as that enforces the learning. Also learning as a group and discussing helps with learning too.
@arh@toots.alirezahayati.com @write_as +1 to this for hosting a blog (or more than 1 as you can have more than one per account)
This may be useful for some hosting options
@FinancialTimes It needs a unilateral approach anyway,

Opinion: A new nuclear deal with Iran needs to be secured and reinforced by a broad international diplomatic coalition that underwrites it. The US has lost trust among allies as well as adversaries. It cannot attempt this alone https://on.ft.com/3iRZhPF https://twitter.com/FinancialTimes/status/1354481829697478661 #Iran

@theprivacyfoundation How can we convince people such as the Good Things Foundation to include the Fediverse and Free software within their digital skills framework so that people are give a choice of options.?

Thank you for being people that care about privacy and information security.
It's great that you've found the Fediverse! This is a reminder that we welcome shares of our posts to other social networks like Twitter and Facebook.
Our hope is that we can help people in the various "walled gardens" learn new ways to make informed decisions about their data privacy.

Small is Beautiful: The public stack and how to fund it
Live stream – tomorrow (Thursday) 5PM Cork (UTC +0) / 12PM New York (UTC -5) / 9AM San Francisco (UTC -8)
Join Sander van der Waal, research director at Waag, alongside Martine Delannoy, Chief Foresight Officer for the City of Ghent and Karl-Filip Coenegrachts from Cities of People as we discuss what the public stack is, why it’s necessary, and how we can fund it with public money.
@MJ I think you also need to make sure the government engages so that when it comes to visas etc for work, temporary work, students then that system is fit for the 21st century way of working and adapts to future needs. This goes for the UK too of course.
@fortifieduniverse @FediFollows @freemo is the qoto admin, worth following other admins though.,

#workplace #schoolname so people can perhaps find you.

#Fediverse's instances with #ActivityPub support (#Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Epicyon) can be seen as a decentralised replacement for #Twitter. They have a similar functionality, and we can say to our friends that they can use ActivityPub instances in a way similar to the one of Twitter. If the all users of Twitter would register at ActivityPub instances, it would be possible to forget about Twitter the same day.
I registered today at #diaspora* instance, and I cannot say diaspora* is a replacement for #Facebook. Yes, it allows me to have a somewhat more detailed user profile than in Twitter and ActivityPub. But even if all your mates from school, army, institute, work etc. would be registered at diaspora*, you would not have remedies which would let you to find your mates and would let them to find you. If I would say to someone that diaspora* can be used in a way similar to the one of Facebook, I would be a liar.
So, does exist a decentralised #social network with a functionality similar to the one of Facebook?
