The #IPCC WGI Technical Support Unit (TSU) made this gif.

"As the #IPCC #ClimateReport Approval did not take place in person, we couldn't take the traditional group photo 📸. So we asked the authors, the Bureau and TSU members to send us a picture with a selected word from the report published today."

@zleap Cheers Paul! There are some ways to get newer LibreOffice packages on Debian-based distros - eg https://wiki.debian.org/LibreOffice#Getting_the_latest_LibreOffice_version - but those aren't officially part of the release.

I'm hiring a #community strategist for our new GovStack initiative that helps builds standards and reference models for #OpenSource software platforms and stacks that will speed governments' digital transformation efforts.

If you've got experience leading software dev communities, and you're ready to help make the world a better place, this just may be the perfect #job for you.

Fully remote with focus hours in Europe/Africa time zones. Details:

@zleap Thanks for the detailed bug report, Paul! You may also want to check in LibreOffice 7.1.5 (the latest version) in case the compatibility improvements in recent releases also fix it.

Onboarding is the process of making it as easy as possible to join something.

So, for example, if you have a clearly written website aimed at beginners that explains how a social network works, where you can sign up etc, that's onboarding.

It just means helping people to get on board a platform or app!

When I wrote the Universal Declaration of Cyborg Rights, I wanted to get people thinking about the kind of constitutional protections we would need to protect personhood in the digital and networked age.

I didn’t think we’d need them so soon. I thought we had more time.

But where do you even begin to get legislators to understand and act on such a thing in the here and now?

BookWyrm is a Fediverse alternative to GoodReads.

They've just opened their onboarding site at:

("Onboarding" is when you make it as easy as possible for people to join something.)

BookWyrm and its instances are currently still in beta testing, but you can join now if you want to try it out. Instances marked as "closed" mean you can join but you have to request an invitation.

@zleap They're warning you that privacy is not allowed.

@zleap That's not blocking them, is just avoiding them to install cookies or storage at your computer.

Doing that, you are kinda a new user to them each time.
