Random Q - with #Skype shutting down, I will mean many developing country migrants/families(me) cannot call landlines / mobiles in many countries. Does anyone know a good alternative #VoIP credit based calling systems to replace Skype?? (Teams and Zoom have options I think, but expensive)

I think BlueSky will be significantly better for conferences than any other site. Organisers can create speaker starter packs to allow attendees to auto-follow all speakers. Also a custom feed of all folks skeeting abut a conf would be a big win.

Gardening season here in southeastern Australia (Ngunnawal country). Working on my veggie patch using 12 month old home compost and seaweed mix. Grateful for all farmers doing the hard labour in our food systems - growing food is intense work.

Agree. This has been a boring place for a long time, suddenly getting traction. @bsky.app must somehow be protected from the chaos, advertising and abuse that all other platforms are host to.

Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.

This is crazy, the total website visits to bluesky exceeded threads despite threads having over ten times the user base.
This chart shows daily U.S. website visits for Bluesky and Threads, indicating a notable surge in visits to Bluesky's website starting in October 2024. Bluesky's visits (blue line) steadily increased until October and then spiked sharply, surpassing 1.2 million visits. In contrast, Threads (orange line) showed consistent fluctuations but did not experience a similar surge. This data excludes mobile app users and highlights web traffic trends based on SimilarWeb's analysis.

When the roads flooded around Lismore, it left supermarket shelves empty for months. Keeping everyone fed took a huge community effort. Now we need to make food supply secure.

The 'circular economy' is one of the concepts we work with in our food systems team, yet I am increasingly concerned at the Euro-centricity and non-critical nature of this technocratic discourse. Read this today, very useful typology of CE discourses: doi.org/10.1016/j.re...

First post here. Finishing a rewarding week in Solomon Islands, working on our 3 year project with communities into food systems transformation under climate/societal pressures. Deep local knowledge and adaptation to change give me hope, but many structural/macro challenges remain.
