Thanks @thirdsectorlab.co.uk for sharing the importance of getting digital skills on your Board. I’m keen to make sure we ask the right questions as @hospiceuk.bsky.social recruits its 1st digital trustee. (I was right at the front so apologies for the weird photo angle!) #HospiceTechLeaders

Ethics. How do charity communicators choose which online platforms will work for them and their audiences in a world where big tech is becoming more and more morally bankrupt.

If SaaS brands were honest - Slack: Clutter your brain, not your inbox. Notion: Organize everything, get nothing done. Zoom: Meetings that should have been emails. SurveyMonkey: Ask questions, regret the answers. Dropbox: Store files you'll never look at again. - by Clemence Lepers on LinkedIn

Help me choose a new laptop please. I currently have a Dell XPS 13 i7 - it's light and well built but it gets noisy, the screen is a bit too small and it only has 2x usb-c ports. I'm after: - 14" screen - Decent amount of ports. - Under 1.5kg - No touchscreen. - Windows. New or refurbished.

I originally had a windowless room (cheap Fifer) and they upgraded me for free. I am now regretting taking the freebie.
