Wow, I just discovered this #PeerTube instance. It is a pilot by @SURF.

"SURF is the collaborative organisation for IT in Dutch #education and #research."

There is already a lot of content:

🥳 Say goodbye to #YouTube - we've launched our official channel on #PeerTube!

🔗 Find (and follow) us here: https://video.edu.nl/c/bibliothecaris_channel

We're in the early stages, so expect more videos, refined descriptions, and fine-tuning coming soon.

A big thank you to @SURF for making this possible. This is an exciting step for us 🚀

Yeah... Reddit blocked my server IP address. But I think most of the data that contribute to Reddit feed aggregation weren't even made by or belong to Reddit, lol.

Warnung: Wer KI-Dienste als dauerhafte Grundlage für Wissen, Archive oder gesellschaftliche Entscheidungen nutzt, übernimmt implizit die Prioritäten ihrer Betreiber: kapital-, cloud- und staatsnahe Strukturen. Ergebnis: Verlust von Commons, Abhängigkeit, schwindende Pluralität.

Some initial thoughts about Hwb and school digital autonomy. #hwb #digitalautonomy #nationalplatform #Wales #EdTech #AI #GenAI ictineducation-gartmor.blogspot.com/2025/11/as-y...

Hwb and School Autonomy

Throughout the growth of the Internet and technology, we are unknowingly misled and misinformed for corporate profit.
We should be well-informed for the growth of our humanity.

My 9yo is very upset because I have not allowed #school to take and publish #pictures of them on social media (or anywhere). They are taken aside when pictures are taken and not happy about it. I'm worried about their image #privacy, #DigitalAutonomy, pictures being scraped for databases etc. Am I overly concerned, or fighting windmills? Should I give school permission? I promised them to post this for a discussion, please give reasons.

#boost please.
