Back in 2010 I founded the #NonProfit@freetechproject which I still work for and thankfully enables me to #WFH#CovidCautious while caring for my partner who has #LongCovid -- facilitating #OnlineLearning via relaxed, fun and friendly video meetups with predominantly older people that have remained our only method of delivery since 2020. The organisation is seeking to add to its board of directors and it'd be great to have interest from UK folks passionate about increasing online engagement and tackling social isolation, as well as #EthicalTechnology#FOSS#fundraising#PublicHealth and, yes, the fact #CovidIsNotOver. Please spread the word, and/or get in touch if you're interested! Thanks! @onepict@privacydingus@kathimmel@crowgirl
We need to talk about digital ownership #oldailyhttps://www.downes.ca/post/76246 As Dan Gillmor says, this is a "terrifically nuanced piece" on the subject of ownership of data and digital media.
@oldaily Was going to recommend this article https://www.citationneeded.news/we-need-to-talk-about-digital-ownership on digital ownership to Stephen Downes' Online Learning Daily, but not surprisingly he found it immediately. Academic journalist Dan Gillmor is my friend IRL, residing mostly in this Kansai region around Osaka, so I am fortunate to be able to discuss such things with him and his Japanese journalist wife.
Regarding digital ownership, I cannot think of any way that having my Website https://japanned.hcommons.org/ at the publicly-funded Humanities Commons @hello infringes upon rights I would like to claim as a creator, and I can only hope that their data remains available indefinitely, such as to my 3/4 Japanese infant granddaughter when she grows up.
"In Florida, where it is against the law to transport undocumented immigrants, students mention that their peers with undocumented family members are at risk if they have relatives in the car with them on campus. The automated license plate reader cameras can capture not only the license plate itself but the entire car and who is in it."
Got a little sidetracked during an online workshop the other day; made myself a bow & arrow out of cotton wool tips and rubber bands…kitty was also entertained 😅
