In other news. My link / tweet to by blog post on Alternatives to mainstream social media has been re-tweeted a few times. :)

@design_RG @freemo Are we able to have a study skills section on the forum please, I have quite a few links to useful resources and a few Open Learn courses that may be helpful to those looking at distance learning.

Thanks

Paul

Hi How do we create a new discourse top level category ? in The Study. Like the categories in bold.

I tried to create a Astronomy and Astrophysics topic but not sure if this has done that. ?

Thanks

Great stuff,

One of the reasons I want to share information and help people find e-learning opportunities is the cost of this course here :

Computing is for the Rich and Elite clearly.

As the above was posted to twitter, I feel like replying to say this.

Just remember, that if you are recruiting staff, if a past employment history says the applicant has worked for one of the offending companies, put the CV / application in the BIN.

Time for the small, hard working person to fight back.

Once the big businesses have your money they don't care.

Confederate and Columbus statues toppled by US protesters
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53005243

I wonder if the 'colonialism' part of these protests are going to impact on the Mayflower celebrations 1620- 2020.

I know this is delayed or cut down due to Covid19 but it also a celebration of the bond between the UK and USA.

Another reason to dump Microsoft.

What is the Fediverse?

https://personaljournal.ca/paulsutton/what-is-the-fediverse

@freemo I will invite a few people to here over the next week or so days and suggest they mention they also know me, @zleap that way we know who they are, will be selective at first, then friends can invite friends.

Hopefully there will be interest and people are open enough to come here and sign up.

I will however see if I can invite stem ambassadors here.

On a general advocacy level.

I have 2 blog posts planned tone covers what the fediverse is and the other covers alternatives to main stream social media, so it is a good opportunity to tie in invites to that.

I will make a point I am here, but try and direct people to the main mastodon instance so they can choose based on interest.

Also have an article in the draft stage too.

Hopefully things will start fitting together.

Is this the sort of thinking we need to solve our homes crisis ?

Added some content to the Physics, Misc and Chemistry areas on the discourse forum, is it worth adding links under computer engineering to free software such as the fsf, fsfe and gnu.org for example ?

If we can educate people about free software then any resource are helpful.
