From my Internet Society colleagues:
The government of Uganda 🇺🇬has shut down access to the Internet in advance of today's elections (see: https://insights.internetsociety.org/shutdowns/4992 ).
#InternetShutdowns cause serious harm to Ugandans and the global Internet - https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/doc/2019/internet-society-position-on-internet-shutdowns/
We ask the government to #KeepItOn !

I continue to be impressed by the growth of #WordPress as an #opensource "publishing layer". It now powers 39.5% of top 10 million websites and, perhaps more interestingly, is now used by more sites than those that do NOT use a content management system (CMS).

Can anyone point me to an article / blog post / page about how the #scuttleverse is different from the #fediverse ? I have been a mastodon user for a while and have some understanding of how this platform works... but now am curious about Scuttlebutt-connected services, too.
I am also experimenting with the “#scuttleverse”.. you can find me as danyork on Planetary at https://planetary.link/%40LudrLcSABB4Zds5HO3xwVI60o%2BQa0VDUKRH%2B3VL69ps%3D.ed25519
I also apparently have a “public identifier” of
@LudrLcSABB4Zds5HO3xwVI60o+Qa0VDUKRH+3VL69ps=.ed25519
(Although I don’t know what that means yet. I suspect it only works on Scuttlebutt-connected services. 🙂)

I'm loving that OBS Studio
now has built-in "virtual camera" support in version 26. This allows you to use OBS Studio as a "camera" inside of Zoom and other video apps, giving you the flexibility and capabilities OBS has in your meetings and webinars - https://obsproject.com
[NOTE: Microsoft Teams and Skype do not yet support virtual cameras, so it won't work in those apps.]
New audio: Will Twitter's #Fleets bring the "Story" format to Twitter? Or will they be gone in a fleeting moment? In this episode, I talk about how Fleets work, what you can (and can't) do, challenges for communicators, and thoughts on their future - https://soundcloud.com/danyork/tdyr-401-will-twitters-fleets-bring-the-story-format-to-twitter-or-will-they-be-gone-in-a-fleeting-moment

@hedgedoc - FYI, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is using the current CodiMD (your version) for note-taking at the IETF 109 meeting this week (as they did earlier this year for IETF 108). On https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/agenda/ there is an icon for notes. The hover text still says "Etherpad for note-takers", but it is in fact your version of CodiMD. And perhaps before IETF 110 in March 2021 the back-end will be updated to your new HedgeDoc version. (I'm not involved with that aspect.)
Want to have a glimpse on what to expect from the first version under the new name, #HedgeDoc, 1.7?
Check our demo instance at https://demo.hedgedoc.org and let us know. /sh
Welcome the #HedgeDoc account :)
We were formally known as #CodiMD, but due to some name conflicts, we decided to give ourselves a new name and a much cuter logo.
Who wants an old document when they can have a hedgehog?
You can read a bit more about it on our new history page: https://hedgedoc.org/history/
"Pandemic speeds up influx of remote workers to small cities"... such as Burlington, #Vermont! Back in October, I was one of a number of people interviewed from the #BTV area. Article appeared today, and audio was on NPR. And photo of me included sheep😀- https://hechingerreport.org/pandemic-speeds-up-influx-of-remote-workers-to-small-cities/
Will be a crazy schedule for me this week.. it's #IETF109 and the meeting schedule is based around the time in Bangkok (UTC+7). Unfortunately I also have many meetings this week on US ET time (UTC-5) so I can't "live on Bangkok time" as some friends are. https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/agenda/
