My research application has been approved.

I'm looking for open educators to participate in a research study! I hope you will take some time to share your thoughts. This study has been approved by the U of Calgary Conjoint Faculties Research Ethics Board (REB20-1113).

I hope some folks from here might consider contributing as my initial questions emerged from here 🙏​

Is there a good directory of #coops that offer services alternative to mainstream ones, especially for devs? E.g. alternatives to GitHub, website hosting, email hosting, cloud storage, etc

Remember when a Google #search used to lead you somewhere?

Now it increasingly just keeps you on Google. In fact, Google results take up 62.6% of the first screen of search results in a sample of 15,000 searches.

#Google is building a walled garden that encompasses some of the most accessed information on the internet with no recourse for businesses who are suddenly finding themselves on the wrong side, cut off from their users.

@bgcarlisle My favourite use of singular “they” is Virginia Woolf’s use of it for Orlando in their moment of transition. That was 1928.

Seen elsewhere in a locked account I can't reference:

"Why don't spreadsheets have built-in debuggers? Because if spreadsheets had debuggers we'd have to admit that the bulk of business software development is performed by underpaid women."

Remember when people (maybe including me) were saying that you didn't need metadata when you had Google. I think Google needing schema.org clarified that one, but here's confirmation that it's proper metadata not just a few key/value pairs seroundtable.com/google-schema

70 years today since George Orwell died. Here's a page that let's you search works by and about George Orwell. pjjk.net/orwellsearch/

(play around with the filters after a search, often that gives more results.)

#weeknotes #metadata #markdown and other niche work-related stuff 

This time:
- how I got into workforce signalling;
- a python extensions for metadata in markdown;
- keeping a notebook that exemplifies what your noting.

I'm happy about the progress python markdown extension, and especially happy about how the markdown notebook I kept while developing it made the project self-documenting
