I'm tired of: - getting served up garbage (and hate) I wasn't looking for. (And ads, so many ads.) - this platform being used to dunk on people rather than connect people and ideas. - paying for (what used to be) useful content with my attention. 1/2

If you're planning on attending a conference, ASK how speakers are selected. Do they use a "blind" call for speakers/content, do they make explicit effort to hear a diverse set of voices, etc? Vote with your $£€¥...

This is truly awful. There are so many great and diverse speakers out there so insist that conference organisers make that spread

.@Office365 For some reason, the #MicrosoftTeams 2.1 client uses a different folder and naming convention to store custom background images for meetings. Here's how to convert your background for the new client. office365itpros.com/2023/10/… #Office365 #Microsoft365

Convert Custom Background Images for Teams 2.1

The Teams 2.1 client uses a different folder and naming convention for custom background images. People who switch must move their images, so here's a script.

AI is the exact opposite of a solution in search of a problem. It's the solution to far more problems than its developers even knew existed.

Marketing cliches that are true: Keep it simple. Test everything. Build relationships. Focus on giving value. Know your customers. Conduct user research. Write for people not robots. Create once. Distribute forever.

The Dead Sea scrolls are still readable 2 millennia after their creation — yet the expected shelf life of a DVD is just 100 years. Without maintenance, most digital information will be lost in just a few decades. How might we secure our data so that it survives for generations?
