Hi @info I think there should be a #blahaj meet up at #emfcamp so we can have a group selfie (is that a thing?) . What's the best way to get interest? I bet there'll be quite a few at camp.

@JustinMac84 @mattblaze Last year I managed to photograph a jet display team, going over a castle, from inside a car park.

Still trying to work out a new angle for them this year.

Thinking about running something called "Spreadsheets I Made in Lockdown" where we all present our extremely niche lockdown obsession data projects.

Mine? Watched all 24 series of Grand Designs, geolocated the houses, categorised and rated them, then built a website I never published.

Pls boost for sample size thx

Accidentally had an idea for a Thing at EMF. I crochet or sew little things and have ones in my pocket or bag to give away just in case someone I meet is having A Bad Day.

We’re going to have a Welfare tent at EMF for when you don’t quite need first aid, but something ain’t right. Maybe a bit of heat, tired, out of spoons, etc.

Maybe we could have a little box or basket in there that people could drop in little frens (see pic) for Bad Day havers to take.

Have you ever tried to eat a starch-based packing peanut (the forbidden corn snacks)

No, Nottingham University, you're not "making improvements", you're investigating a massive cyber attack to one of your core systems where you think you've had significant personal details of all current and former students stolen. @GossiTheDog

ℹ️ Never miss an announcement!

Know someone who’s coming to EMF but doesn’t have a fedi account to follow the official EMF mastodon accounts for announcements? We’ve put them all in one place.

Bookmark and share this with them, my kind folks (we’ll also be sticking it on a physical monitor or two at the event).

You might even want to pop it on a screen in your village…

#heatwave tips! I grew up in Cyprus where it was often this temp or above. Here's what you need to do today: close your windows by 9am, feels counter intuitive but your home right now is cooler than it's going to be outside very soon. Close all blinds, and if you have rooms that heat up more than others shut off those doors to isolate the heat into that room only. Fans are good and with a wet cloth in front also excellent. Use umbrella when you're outside, helps keep cool and against some UV.

The slow death of the power user.

"This isn’t an accident. This is the result of two decades of deliberate, calculated effort by the largest technology companies on earth to turn users into consumers, instruments into appliances, and technical literacy into a niche hobby for weirdos. They succeeded beyond their wildest expectations"
