15 rumors we've investigated about NASA
From unbelievable images captured in space to predictions of asteroids colliding with Earth, we've researched a variety of claims related to NASA.
UPDATE: Officially the problem has been "fixed". But lets see....we will look for another provider and in case we will be forced to move, we should be able to do so in a day or two.
Our TROM.tf server was flagged by the hosting company as "Abuse: NetscanOutLevel: scansnarf-ng detected Netscan from: We have indications that there was an attack from your server." - and we have a few hours to fix the issue else they are going to shut down the server....
Please be aware of that since the websites may go down and we may have to move to another hosting provider...
This is very bad news but unaware what it can be. Please keep an eye on status.tromsite.com
We will try to update there in case anything happens.

DNA testing site 23andMe files for bankruptcy protection - bbc.com/news/articles/c9q4r9xy…
Of course...a bullshit company, like most companies, providing nothing useful for the people and now even putting their personal information (and DNA) at risk. Because you know, other company may buy it and who knows what it does with the data. I have been saying that since the beginning when everyone was so excited about this useless company.
To read the DNA for useful purposes should be the job of entities that do not make a business out of it, but take care of people´s health. This nonsense of "see where you ancestors are from" "see if you are fucking irish or a goblin", is so useless even if accurate, which may not even be.
Anyway, another story of nonsense companies that make people give them their data to then fuck up this information for everyone.

Dans ce genre de moyens, il y en a eut d'autres (et il y en a d'autres, mais peut-être pas tous encore complètement développés: à mon avis, certains posent pb parce qu'on pourrait ne presque rien payer du tout en tant qu'utilisateur😑) il y avait par exemple, une boite de nuit dont la piste de danse produisait l'énergie, sous l'effet des pieds des utilisateurs.

What We Leave Behind in TEL: The Silence Around Critical Pedagogy
In much of the UK's digital education research, there's a strong focus on scalability, platform integration, and institutional alignment.
What's often missing?
- Critical pedagogy
- Questions of power, justice, and values
- Grounded reflections on why we teach the way we do
In this blog post, I explore why those deeper questions are often absent -- and what we might do about it.
Read it here: elearning.home.nomagic.uk/0011…
I'd really welcome others' thoughts: are you seeing the same emphasis where you work?

Hello Fediverse!
I'm Stephen Wheeler, an eLearning Technologist at The University of Manchester. My work focuses on online and distance learning, including MOOCs, OERs, and student-centred design rooted in critical pedagogy. I advocate for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and ethical, decentralised platforms that support authentic engagement and inclusive education.
I'm here to connect with fellow educators, technologists, and open education advocates, and to explore how platforms like Friendica can support collaborative, non-commercial educational spaces.
Looking forward to meaningful conversations across the Fediverse!
