#Tech / #IT people, when was the last time you went to a conference (virtual or in person) that wasn't purely a series of sales talks?

Question for #Chromebook users: is there a sensible way of pulling/pushing .md files from #GitHub and working on them locally/offline that doesn't involve the Linux environment on ChromeOS? (I'm working with a low-spec device that struggles)

Twitter often sets a standard, is my point. And if the new standard becomes verified individual accounts, there's going to be some collateral damage. $8 for a blue tick might not seem like the worst idea in the world. But I'm concerned about what's next.

More than that, the way Twitter first handled things like blocking, muting, and other content moderation became something of a playbook for other platforms to follow.

Throwing in my two cents on the 8 dollar thing. Cos I'm an idiot. There's obviously the standard concerns associated with being able to buy your way into being "trusted", but I'm also worried about what happens further down the line...

Anyway, it's my stop, so I'll end the thought dump there.

A random thought dump on my commute home: I've been thinking a lot recently about power dynamics. I work for a grant funder, so maybe that's natural, and maybe I'll talk about that at some point. But I've also been thinking more widely with my "#tech hat" on.
