Hiking with friends on a mountain near Vancouver, BC, Canada today. None of us realized there would still be this much snow when it was quite hot outside. Had fun throwing snowballs though. And saw a black bear from far away! https://social.coop/media/ThBut1uUA88h0uWXuwU https://social.coop/media/PXjXnbi-CVTYZms07_w

The tide was quite high earlier today and the water was coming through holes in this wall.
I’m wondering what the purpose of the holes is. What would happen if they weren’t there?

Hey all, I need some help rethinking community calls for #opensource projects.
At Moodle, as we did at Mozilla, I've been using a public Etherpad for people to:
- Sign in
- Introduce themselves
- Contribute ideas to the project
We're also using Zoom to:
- Discuss things via video and audio
- Record the call for later viewing
After a conversation with our data privacy lead today, I've got to delete the existing data we've captured in this way, and come up with a new approach.
Any ideas? 🙃

My word of the day is ultracrepidarian.
More and more I think my doctoral research will focus on the process of change. What troubles me is much of my reading list: Foucault, vonHippel, Womack.... today I added Centola.
What troubles me is that it is very white and very, very male. So I’m asking, begging really, for recommendations: Non-white, non-male scholars studying the process of change (any discipline) - Expecting the responses will make me feel embarrassed for having had to ask...

More questions for Mastodon! Especially the mastodon.art crowd.
What do you do to shake up your creativity when you're in a rut?
When I joined masto, I gravitated towards following creative peeps and noticed a thing that's pretty common to all of us: we feel guilty for promoting places that people can buy our work or otherwise support us financially. So I started the #CreativeToots hashtag for that very reason. Got an Etsy page? Online store? Patreon? Selling a piece of art? Throw that tag on it. Do it with unfettered abandon. Everyone else: Look at that tag for artists to support. Buy their stuff. Help them create. <3

Do you know that when you share your pics you also share so much more? #Metadata can contain the location where the picture was shot, the date and time of shooting, your phone model, aperture, exposure time, etc... Why sharing all this private info with the internetz and #surveillance capitalism when there's no need to?
Scrambled #Exif is a #FOSS app that removes metadata from your pics before sharing. With one click they're all gone.

Gah...I keep staying up late to catch up on Mastodon! It's great to read all about what you wonderful folks are doing and thinking and all, but sheesh I need to find some time to do so before late at night because I get all into it and suddenly I'm thinking...damn...not enough sleep again tonight!
But there are much worse reasons for me to be staying up late, and I do enjoy this one! 🙂
