Schools need to slam the brakes on surveillance and think about what kind of dystopia they’re creating for their students. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/02/schools-are-pushing-boundaries-surveillance-technologies

Someone is trying to build a #language learning app like #duolingo, but it's free software. Maybe you want to help out?: https://github.com/kantord/LibreLingo https://librelingo.app/ #librelingo
@mhoye could use more detail on the tooling, as well as what actions a user who gets blocked can take to get unblocked.
From the post, this doesn't sound much different than the shared blacklists of email, which has loads of issues.

@Gina "what not to do" is still very valuable. Looking forward to whatever updates you can provide!
@Gina the abstract of the talk you were going to give had a massive number of interesting things you've tripped over in one way or another
@Gina totally get the lazy part. Still haven't been able to consistently blog things for similar reasons.
Maybe a fediverse message of "tried this today and it was terrible/awesome" would be light-weight enough for us to know where the journey is taking you.
@write_as is there any possibility of write.as being a more first-class citizen in the fediverse? That is, I'd like ActivityPub responses to blog posts to appear below the blog post, and able to reply to them from the blog account directly, similar to what most WordPress blogs seem to do, but in a truly federated fashion.

Not being on Facebook doesn't mean that you are free from their surveillance and tracking!

The Smithsonian announced today that they have released 2.8 million images into the public domain (CC0 license). In celebration of this I made a bot you can follow that will post one random image from the set every 8 hours:

The dual boot option for the Cosmo was officially launched yesterday. The Debian distro seems to work, at least up to the point where I try to install anything. Or goes into suspend mode. I'll be able to see what this is capable of Real Soon Now. cc @mhoye
@tfb the people I know turn them down and make them red to not disrupt night vision. Again, the sample group is mainly people interested in photography and astronomy, as well as pilots.
Whether other people get the benefit as a side effect, I find interesting but don't really care that much.
