What's the easiest way to share from #flickr to Mastodon? Pasting the URL doesn't seem to bring up the image like it does on BlueSky or Twitter.

I just used the hashtag #antiEdTech in my Obsidian Notes for the first time. Is this a sign that I'm getting old and cantankerous, or a new movement?

I've added an analysis page related to the reduction of Teacher Education in Ontario from two years to one year. If anyone has any research material related to this, I'd love to be able to add it to the analysis. #OntEd

I'm happy that the #Codex app now includes a file browser, but if the file browser can't stay up to date with what's actually in the folders, then it's useless. It's back to VS Code with the Codex extension for me.

Try it here: https://peter.beens.ca/wordle-aid/

#TIL that you can type /status in #Codex to get your quota status. That's very useful.

Wispr Flow has been saving me a lot of time converting voice to text. If you spend a lot of time on your computer, it’s worth trying. Very accurate.

They also offer discounts (students ~50% off, plus options for educators, nonprofits, military, accessibility, etc.).
