An odd evening: I realised just how clueless kids are when it comes to how to actually use a computer. Microsoft is infantilising our kids by turning everything into a browser app (#DigitalNatives my foot). Meanwhile I, their mother used a 45 year old scripting language to more or less painlessly sort + backup ~55,000 family photos by year + month... #BASH

Kid left a box open on the sofa, resident #BlackPanther went to sit in it. @Ruth_Mottram @organicmaps Another satisfied Organic Maps user here. Open Street Map has shockingly detailed and current data on even the most obscure places, and OM makes it very usable. Offline OSM navigation with OM has proven indispensable for bike touring and international travel in general.  @Ruth_Mottram @organicmaps agree Organic Maps is very good for walking and I've also used it successfully for biking when I didn't have my bike computer. Latest book on the list for this year: Maus. I read somewhere recently that this book had been banned from some US schools, which seems like a good reason to finally get around to reading it. And as it's #Caturday too, here's a photo of our own little old lady reading #Maus on #FamilyReadingEvening

 Good to see this ... from the outset it seems they are explicitly acknowledging that Mastodon and the Fediverse, by and large, operates in a manner consistent with their own stated values. I rather suspect the BBC's instance will be held to that :ablobcatheadbang:  @Ruth_Mottram Well of all the newsies the BBC would be the last I'd expect to realise Twitter et al have run their course. They have recently not been known for their impressive judgement. More for their unimpressive "news". @mcrocker @damianogerli try kagi search. It's *incredible* like the old days when Google really worked... |
@Ruth_Mottram I'm like right on the edge and it's horrifying, many of my classmates (college students) don't even know how to use email
@Ruth_Mottram I concur... before I stepped away from permanent employment I ran a Stage 1 IT module. Over the 25+ years I can't say I noticed any significant change in student abilities. Even in the 'standard' packages that everyone 'knows' how to use...

There was a time when schools IT was Nicrosoft and Spreadsheets. I remember parents in IT coming in talking about coding.
