Time to stop naming them too,people can't look them up, so they just go down in history as a terrorist, grave markers become a go to point for fellow terrorists too,

Given what happens on social media, this does not surprise me. While we can't do much about mainstream social media, any leglislation / regulation will impact us too. What we can do on the Fediverse is to look at this, learn and ensure the Fediverse does't decend in to a similar cesspit, granted we are good at that with moderation already. but we are also willing to learn, develop to keep the community civilised

Yes, one thing we are good, we used to be really good at making fun of ourselves, even our own royal family, it is a British thing.

I think what will happen under charles III, is that we will see further shift in focus, more acknowledlgement of involvement in slavery, Charles III has said he wants to learn more, not that he is ignorant of what has happened, but perhaps he wants a proper picture.

If we compensate nations, then so be it, if we can come up with a full education plan, involving all parties, so we educate, that will have a lasting longer term legacy from my view.

I still feel the honors system needs to dump references to the Empire, Lets have MBC member of British Commonwealth, esp given the commonwealth not simply a renaming of Empire, I think there was a lot more to it than that.

I run a code club on the first and third Saturday, I was at Code Club during the coronation itself. For me that took priority, I am sort of interested in these events, but not to the extent that I drop everything for it.

So people who didn't watch it may be because they had other things to do, or many other reasons.

The media seem to think we want wall to wall coverage of something, it was irritating the other day when politics live covererd the local election results, fine no, issue with that.Except usual bbc1 programming was cancelled for it, The same programme was on bbc news 24, same time, same coverage, so why not just direct people to bbc news 24, or the bbc website etc.

I am not too sure either, but the Linux kernel is scalable so it can run on anything from embedded devices right up to supercomputers.

As a result you take the kernel and customise it so it just has the components needed, so a tablet has say solid state storage, so would be optimised for that you don't need the SATA support for example.

So the Kernel just then acts as a layer between the hardware and the android user interface.

I am probably wrong somewhere, but that is how I understand things. I would guess the Linux kernel for the Raspberry may not have SATA support built in, as there is no SATA hardware, but other single board computers may have that.

One of the web based learning platforms, 'New Skills Academy' uses facebook for students to communicate with each other. I would like to be able to reach out to other students regardless of learning provider on here and see what we can create.

There are a lot of websites that offer learning either free or low cost, so it should be possible to discuss anything, the advantage is if a group of say biochemistry students chat, it would attract people working in the industry, coversations then ramp up a few gears, everyone benefits.

I think what may help too is for those who are here to contact providers who offer basic IT skills and ask if they teach people about the fediverse, if enough of us do that, it may push the request over the threshold where they start looking at doing it. That may solve the issue of a few instances dominating, as part of the training would include discussions of choosing an instance.

Maybe the issue with Linux on the desktop was because for a long time people 'including experts' kept saying year xxxx is the year of the desktop, then it didn't exactly happen.

Maybe the Hype or the expectations generated from that was too much.

As you point out what HAS happened is that Linux has come in to dominate the backend of things, servers, phones, cars, set top boxes etc, and Linux is just the kernel. Where as the front end can be bash, xorg, wayland, KDE, GNOME, Xfce etc.

The fediverse has now matured to the point where it can be used, and is used by anyone. But we don't have the media sharing that year xxxx will be year of the fediverse, so there is nothing to accuse us of making empty predictions. We can just get on with building what we have.
