I no longer use Skype, but while browsing through all the apps on my computer, I saw it, I saw this forgotten app, and it brought back some nice memories, and nice conversations I had there, with nice people whom I still talk to, this app helped me to stay in touch with the ones I truly cared about, when I was far away from them, old good times :-) now there are better tools for communication, and I guess if I ever want to use Microsoft messaging app I will have to use Teams, and Teams is something I hate, so I think I will stick to Google Chat and Meet, better sound quality, and the interface is not so irritating. But who knows, maybe my curiosity will be strong enough to try Teams again, connected to my private account, but if the interface is so horrible as it was before, then I don’t feel encouraged to do this. #Technology #Computers #Communication #Blind.

Thomas Edison is portrayed in a three-quarter length or half-length pose, characteristic of 19th-century portraiture. He is dressed in formal attire, typically a dark suit with a vest and bow tie, reflecting his status as a distinguished scientist and businessman.

Happy birthday to ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern internet! 53 years ago, the first message was sent over this pioneering network, paving the way for a world of interconnection and innovation.

As a tech enthusiast, I am constantly amazed by the ways the internet has transformed our lives, allowing us to communicate, learn and share ideas across boundaries and borders. From social media to e-commerce, from telemedicine to remote work, the internet has become an essential part of our daily routines, enabling us to connect with others and access a wealth of information at our fingertips.

A black commemorative plaque with gold frame, inscribed with gold letters. It reads: "At 10:30 p.m., 29 October 1969, the first ARPANET message was sent from this UCLA site to the Stanford Research Institute. Based on packet switching and dynamic resource allocation, the sharing of information digitally from this first node of ARPANET launched the Internet revolution."

Can #typos make lies seem less deceptive or make true statements seem less true?

“true statements with grammatical errors and unusual word choices were seen as more deceitful, and lie statements with the same language were seen as less deceptive” and “I discovered a new brain response that is sensitive to the difference between perceived truths and lies.”

As the hype for #decentralized systems (e.g.: #mastodon), where no could buy the whole service, continues, I want to also introduce decentralised #communication.
Ever heard or tried a #matrix #messenger? A new, decentralised protocol of communication to allow multiple participants join the network with different clients and servers. You can choose whatever fits you best. You probably wanna start here to try it: element.io/ (Get a client, choose a server)
For more background information, see here: matrix.org/
@matrix

Matrix.org

Matrix is an open standard for interoperable, decentralised, real-time communication

can i say: awesome article👏 ? Sorry but not sorry, i don’t think limiting oneself per se is the solution. One should defo think what they are hoping to achieve by communicating, and people could abide to some basic principles (power surge hours etc) if/when needed (think Ukraine). But otherwise it is by interacting that we learn and grow, incl learn about #communication itself, so let’s not shut up just yet!
