Faut-il encore le rappeler: la mise en page typographique d'un document est essentielle pour délivrer un message de manière claire. #fail#communication#pub
Actress Hedy Lamarr (nee Hedwig) and composer George Antheil received US patent for their "Secret Communications System", an early version of frequency hopping using a piano-roll to switch among 88 frequencies to make radio-guided torpedoes harder for enemies to detect or jam. The U.S. Navy rejected the idea, then seized it as "alien property" in 1942 (Lamarr was Austrian) but filed it away with no record of a working device being produced. via @wikipedia
As someone who works in #communication , I'm baffled by some folks here on #mastodon who talk down about users of other #SocialMedia platforms in a patronising or even insulting way, only to immediately add: "I don't understand why they don't come here!"
From a goal-oriented comms point of view, this makes zero sense if your true goal is to drive people here, no matter how well justified your criticism of other platforms might be.
While Jitsi is open-source, most people use the platform they provide, meet.jit.si [http://meet.jit.si], for immediate conference calls. They have now introduced a “Know Your Customer” policy and require at least one of the attendees to log in with a Facebook, Github (Microsoft), or Google account. If you prefer not to...
Talk about Effective Communications. The MD governor reported the ship called a mayday and the traffic going onto the bridge was stopped before the collapse.
No sense of how much time passed or when the mayday was called in relation to the collapse, but it couldn't have been very long.

To maximize efficiency and keep up with modern culture, you are now encouraged to communicate exclusively in emojis.
Express the intricacies of your utopian life through smiley faces, thumbs up, and the occasional XD.
Words are sooooo last century.
Remember: Happiness is mandatory. Sad and/or angry emojis are treasonous.
New instance means I copy-paste my #introduction from my previous instance lol. So here’s my #intro!
I’m Bryn, (she/her, 25) and I live in the greater Pittsburgh area! I’m a #bisexual, #polyamorous#trans girl with a passion for #electronics, #music (especially #indie), and human interaction, i.e. #communication. I’m happiest when I’m among friends, lovers, or just other people in general!
I was a team lead in customer facing tech support for a home security company, but I gave that up after facing major #burnout. Now, I’m taking a few months to recuperate while my partners keep me alive, and I’m looking to start a #freelance#branding and #WebDesign co-op with one of said partners!
This account is not professional; I post #nsfw content on occasion. I spent too much of my life without confidence to let my newfound beauty go to waste! :blobcat_coy: This content will always be hidden behind a content warning, of course!
Definitely follow me if you like cute girls, relationship anarchy, free open-source software, or any combination thereof! Boosts are also very much appreciated, but please give higher priority to mutual aid requests and the like.
"I am a CODA, a child of a deaf adult, which, I guess, makes my mother a COHA, a child of a hearing adult. Two actually," says stand-up comedian and writer Moshe Kasher in his new book, "Subculture Vulture." LitHub has published this extract, in which Kasher discusses deaf history, language and education. "The decisions of people with zero experience in the deaf world, who have never really thought about deafness in any way, shape the future of the deaf, again and again," he writes.
A while ago I sat down (virtually) with Charles DuHigg to discuss his new book Supercommunicators, which explores the idea that maybe we're sometimes not very good at communicating and asks how we can do better. The IQ2 podcast is now available now:
