We talked to a lot of teachers about AI in their classrooms. #ictedu23 #edchatie ictedu.ie/2023/05/13/the…

@clonmeldigital @topgold The biggest success trickling out of the debasement of Twitter is the victory lap being taken by the distributed Internet infrastructure. Good protocols take the day. Those protocols offer long term viability, no?

@topgold Don't forget the SIG socialhub.activitypub.rocks

Thanking Elon for systematically perforating so many facets of Twitter because now developers are tweaking better products to service social conversation space. w3.org/TR/activitypub/

@bittergaaman @Tupp_Ed It's pronouned Mast O'Don and is like a corner shop for Irish peeps.

Enormous surge of #IrishTwitter over to the mastodon.ie server today. My company has chipped in a little bit to their funding drive. It increasingly has all the people you’d expect to find there. Like a college reunion party.

@conor_pope You could join the huddled masses by carving out an identity with Irish Mastodon. Several IT journos are there already and could onboard you.

I’ll be sad to leave Twitter but will do so without hesitation if it becomes the toxic hellscape many of us fear is inevitable. But there will be other platforms and it will be hilarious if Elon Musk, the “genius”, ends up spending billions of dollars on a latter-day MySpace.

@conor_pope We put the smart plugs provided by Phone Watch behind our TV and now switch them off in the Phone Watch app so we don't run the entertainment centre when we're gone.

With all the talk of rising energy prices I wonder if you have any clever money saving tips you’d like to share with the nation, apart from “Don’t turn on the immersion unless you’ve won the lotto.”…. I have that one on my list already.

@saoirse_mchugh We love our Axolotls.

@KarenLeeW @MiaBeetle Irish teens are becoming much more price-aware while scavenging for groceries.

A small lad (5/6) on the LUAS just asked his mom if they could go to Tesco’s for dinner.She explained that they have no grocery money until they get a loan from grandad on Thursday & reassured him that ‘it’s only two more nights of toast’. What kind of a f***ing country is this?

@saoleoin When we VPN in from another continent, the algorithms push all sorts of regionalized content. We get a stronger sense of diversity and inclusivity while watching regional constraints drop away.

The trick of using a VPN to change your location to India so that you can get YT premium for the price it is in India (like £12 for a year or something) has changed my life. Not that I have done this or ever would.

Getting inside local radio to learn secrets of the trade. #littlebitoftipp #audio365 youtu.be/a2_Fjm1TzHs

@ThomasFlanagann @SoccerStash @Max43295064 @chuckles33 @PaulaOCal Watching Leaving Cert students do the mental maths about the cost of going out. Sparkling water is a winning choice so you can afford to hit more than three clubs an evening.

€13.30 - seriously wtf 🙈

Thanking @ClonmelBD for sunny clean streets #clonmel

@TheHarryMcC We just accept the yellow low fuel light as default now on the car's dashboard and thst means fewer trips to see grandparents and cousins.

I’ve started to feel the rising cost of living this week. Shopping for food has become so expensive, and I feel like I am paying more than I used to for almost everything I buy now. For people who were already struggling, I can’t imagine how hard this must be!

@GenaHaskett Remembering Boy Scout leaders (and dads) who used to carry foot-long grinders under their jackets to share around campfires in PA.

Day #24 of #AudioMo with a response to @diva_diplomatic on a sandwich known as a grinder.

@topgold @ray @BarbaraKB @soulcruzer @Documentally And right after that Costa Coffee moment it was into the High G Maxx for Maverick!

Nice cover art @ray. Air con on, @barbarakb? We got our extra day off sandwiched around Paddy's Day, @soulcruzer. And @documentally my kids have never used a pay phone. #AudioMo

Ukrainian kids in hospitals need mattresses!

"Hi! Getting a few things ready for you. This might take a few minutes." That's Windows 11 cleanly installed.

@Aoifefoley2 @_conorgalvin And thanking @aoifefoley2 for telling us how she learns ☺️ youtube.com/watch?v=hn-XmF…

@_conorgalvin Thanks so much Conor! I really appreciate it😊

So delighted to be part of this wonderful event #ictedu

We asked people how they learn. It turns out that lots of people learn from online tutorials. #ictedu

@ICTedu @firemanrich You might have missed this weather simulation. The little man in the red shirt wants to interview you in person.

Testing nest building skills …. #ictedu

Our roving reporter asked @pamelaaobrien how she learns. #origami #ictedu
