This is not looking good.

@aral @Purism @gnome today I was told that google G Suite for education has 70m+ customers and that in the USA, two schools in three are using it. I haven't checked this figure, but if it is even close to being true we are placing the data of millions of children into the hands of the largest dealer in data on earth - before we even give them a choice.

A whole generation sold into data serfdom.

We have to get the technology you are talking about into the hands of educators.

How?

English conversation round-table in Münster.

This evening at Lenzig, Südstrasse 41. from about 20:30.

It's all very informal, feel free to come along.

If you live in Münster Germany and might like to get involved in a new housing coop, please consider the "Gruener Weiler".

https://www.gruener-weiler.de/

We are looking for new members, particularly younger people and families.

A few bullet points...
Ecologically oriented community.
Car free community.
30% WBS A (social housing).
Community welcomes diversity.
Aiming for same age demographic as Münster.

Don't worry. any fork would still federate. The lead dev has said he'd welcome it.

So all those who would like a different project structure have to do is the actual work.

Kudos to them if they do.

My advice: don't hold your breath...

@Antanicus @mayel fight back, make it unacceptable to get up early....

Use analog snarky comments,: "You were'nt here at 18:00, so I did it for you" or "off home already? What a life!" or even "You left the light on in your office, I didn't want people to think you were working late, so I turned it off"

Refer to the WC as "The early shift's reading room"

Suggest grumpy coworkers "Get up a little later to improve their mood."

Push back! ;)

@nev @BadWrongFun @Canageek -5 defence against ice pick attacks too.

It's an interesting untruth, that mechanised farming methods are designed to maximise yield. In fact they are designed to maximise profit.

Other food production methods (Permaculture for example) far out outstrip the yield of industrial monoculture, sometimes by a factor of ten or more. They are just labour intensive and so less profitable.

@BryanLunduke I suspect this is the terrorist organisation you are looking for.

All FOSS, usable by "ists" of all creeds.

Note their charitable status.

Don't worry about not getting an answer to your mails, they probably just asked themselves "Bryan who?" ; )
