France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out.
As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class.

I'm just gonna sit for a moment with "we can just phone call people in space on the ISS, and some guy uses it because he doesn't know where stuff is in his own house."
the female astronaut that we'ee sending to the moon had to warn her husband that he won't just be able to call her to ask where something is in the house 💀💀💀💀

Welcome to new Bluesky users.
Here’s how we do things:
1. Always observe the Hambledon Protocol
2. No flisking
3. If someone tealights you, rink them without apology
4. I don’t mind them so much, but tissue-posts are generally frowned on
5. No questions
Good luck!

Unrelated to the content of the (very good) thread, but "…just to clarify, I am 100% correct." is a kinda awe inspiring level of confidence
To finish this out: This may make some people angry and uncomfortable, but just to clarify, I am 100% correct.
