@icedquinn I think the idea is that websites need to gain consent in order to use cookies.
@icedquinn @zleap Well, now I can at least give a nice "f u" when someone want me to allow Zuck and Pichai to track me
@Archivist @icedquinn I just tell people I don't use faceook, may have to start assuming some fb users are thick as they don't get it
btw who is Pichai
@icedquinn @Archivist Never heard of him, LOL
@zleap @icedquinn Just the CEO of the Alphabet Group that contains Google, Youtube and all their other pet projects
The fact you never heard of him is sign he takes his role as a villain very seriously
@Archivist @icedquinn Yeah, or that I don't use / care about google enough. I do know that @cwebber is one of the people behind Activity Pub.
I use Google mostly because (ironically) the GNU guys make a terrible job at documenting stuff in a navigatable way. They also have to discover PDF as an information format as for most of them.
@Archivist @icedquinn @cwebber
I am not sure how to address this, we need to educate people, thing is when you document you start to realise how easy or difficult your software is to use, as you need to think as a user and not a techy / programmer that created it.
i'd assume nowadays people are just looking for copy/paste cookbooks.

The idea of reading and researching is lost on many I see that many sites now have an article with things like 5 min read, so they have an idea of how long.
The recent creative Education course I did is meant to be an hour, it takes longer, when you start / stop / rewind the video to take notes etc.
In some cases you watch a video twice, once to watch it, the 2nd time to take notes and then a 3rd time to perhaps make more notes,. first time you may even stop / start to record time indexes of interesting points.

Thanks for that. I have just looked it up and added that (and some other links) to my StudySupportBlog
https://personaljournal.ca/studysupportgroup/resources
I want to try and help distance learners, so am using the blog and discourse.qoto.org to try and create a platform where learners can discuss what they are learning or related topics.
Great doing courses online, even better to discuss the content with others to help with learning.
