I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker came out with:

“If you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this. Everyone in this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.”

Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up.

“If you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.”

Almost every hand went back down.

“As you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, you’re making them feel good, even if you don’t like asking.”

I’ve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I won’t forget that.

Periodic reminder (to myself as much as anyone): you might feel the urge to self-censor today.

You may think of a funny joke, or snap a photo of something beautiful, or want to vent about a minor annoyance at work, or have something you made that you need to show the world.

And you might think about what’s happening in the world, and say, “Ugh, now is not the time.”

Look: post it anyway. You never know who might need the distraction and the uplift of your post. And it might never feel like the right time again.

Digitaliserings-ministeren vil begynde at udfase Microsoft i sit eget ministerium

.. omkring 1/2 af medarbejderne over sommeren skal arbejde med computere, hvor Windows er skiftet ud med en version af Linux og Office 365 er erstattet af Libre Office

.. vil hele ministeriet være fri af Microsoft i løbet af efteråret

.. op til lanceringen af en ny digitaliserings-strategi for de kommende 4 år. Strategien aftalt mellem staten, regionerne og kommunerne

Oh yes of course, #chatgpt is ‘FREE’ for schools just like #google was in the beginning. Remenber first fix is free. And it is not only about money, but also which values you want to imprint in your kids and about digital sovereignty. So no thanks #openai - we don’t want your ‘services’ in European schools #ai

Please spread the word NO THANKS
