Was at the #Eskom expo for young scientists, (aka #ISF or 'International Science Fair") in Boksburg, #SouthAfrica - just looking around at the groovy experiments & designs the high school kids came up with. Managed to introduce 2 of them to #CreativeCommons and #OpenSource licensing.
Bit perturbed that there seemed to be all but zero knowledge about things like #OpenData #OpenInformation #KnowledgeSharing and the like, almost as if Eskom didn't like the idea of #sharing technology or knowledge

Hey everyone, wish you could get around paywalls? Tired of so many adverts being in or popping up when you just want to read an article, then I have a website for you! https://outline.com it takes any article from any website and removes all the ads, ignores the paywall and puts it in a nice easy to read format and font. Hope this helps :)

"Lately, a wave of yellow bikes from China has been crashing over the cities of this planet, bringing shitty steel constructions into every corner of the world. But what do these bikes do? Are they here to improve the mobility of urban populations or to track their every move? Will they be used for a long time and regularly repaired, or will they be thrown away once they start crumbling? Do we actually need privatized bike-sharing in our cities?

As reports are starting to pile up, that oBike – one of these bike-sharing startups – is shutting down (and taking millions in deposits paid by their users with them), it is important to think about a new way to use these bikes.

LibreBike is here exactly for this reason – to change the whole thinking behind bike-sharing. What if you wouldn't have to pay for the bikes? What if bikes where simply public goods, to be used by everyone? Turns out, in just five easy steps, every oBike can be made into a LibreBike – a bike for everyone!"
