The Parliament of Estonia is orders of magnitude smarter than whoever is in the Parliament of Canada (including Mark Carney).

Europe should regulate Big Tech instead of banning kids from social media, Estonia says

Banning kids from social media won’t work, as they “will find very quickly the ways to go around and to still use social media,” Estonian Education Minister Kristina Kallas said.

EMF info and help 3d ago

We have a new name!

We’ve been known as Infodesk for some time, but now we’re info and *help*. No desk.

There will be wandering helpers as well as those behind the traditional desk.

The new name hopefully will let people know that we’re the first place for you to come for help, as well as information. We can direct you to the right people without you having to wander around. We can probably solve most problems, we’ll have things you’ve forgotten, and we… most of all… want to help!

And we’ll be available by phone, email, or here on mastodon.

Please spread the news 💚

How can a federated network be down?

It's going to be really weird when everyone is going to get to know #Nextcloud from their workplace, while I've been running it since it's inception/fork and OwnCloud before that.

What a journey. I am still on the same install that has survived all the migrations, the fork, and updates since 2012!

Net gestart met #Linux of wil het zien of het (laten) installeren? Er zijn weer de nodige Repair Cafés en initiatieven de aankomende tijd. Ook een sessie over @yivi_privacybydesign en meer.

Waar kun je dit vinden? Op de lijst die ik met liefde en ook nog plezier bijhoud: https://foss-privacy-bigtech.nl/evenementen/

David Attenborough turns 100 years old on the 8th of May.

He is a human who has spent his time loving the diversity of life on this planet. His documentaries helped emphasise the biodiversity crisis while also infectiously spreading this love of other species.

My partner and I are thinking of having a small, gentle event on the day to recognise his life. Maybe a walk with friends, taking moments to stop and acknowledge the creatures around us.
