Gnote – feature idea
Looking at the Gnote application. It is really good for taking notes and supports website urls, e-mail addresses etc, which is also handy.
If I enter a e-mail address, it allows me to click on this and open up a e-mail client. This makes sense.
However, if I enter a fediverse id, which looks similar to an e-mail address for example
@user@qoto.org gnote only recognises the user@qoto.org component of this and therefore opens up a mail client
What could be really useful, is the ability to say
if text = @user@domain.com then open up domain.com in a web browser. So basically open the fediverse instance associated with that id.
While there is a forum for gnote, I think it is worth putting the idea out there, as this post will be federated. Discuss further before trying to suggest this as a feature.
Would be good to discuss.
Please feel free to tag me in on @zleap@qoto.org for comments.

More C&C Red alert.
Playing more C&C, I am beginning to wonder if having a computer controlled ally is worth the effort.
In this case, I am on the right hand side, the computer is the yellow colour on the left, I am being attacked by the blue units streaming down from the north.
The computer is quick enough to attack the enemy base / units. This results in a counter attack, or rather in this case a counter attack against me. The computer ally just sat there, did nothing despite having lots of units, as depicted in the screenshot.
It is worth noting that the computer MCV has been destroyed, which is the computers fault for placing said unit where it is, building other stuff below and not actually putting any sort of defensive units e.g tanks, rocket launchers, pill boxes, turrets) to help defend.
The result is my base, got a huge hammering.
I have played as 1 player against multiple opponents and still won. First rule is NOT to provoke the opponents, if they attack first counter attack, esp if harvester units are attacked.
By attacking, you also give away your location, so carefully explore your location, leave a few troops on bridges or in gaps, this will alert you to any problems on the map.
I may need to change my strategy with regards to computer controlled allies.

Facebook Manipulated 689,003 Users' Emotions For Science
If you use Facebook, please STOP also saying you are committed to safeguarding. Please read this article [1] on Forbes which raises, yet more concerns about the behaviour of this Tech Giant, who seem more interested in profits than the welfare of users.
1 Forbes Article
Enough said, users deserve better, people need to be treated like people and not as data sources for exploitation, manipulation.

Autism Awareness
I have now completed 'Autism Awareness' with e-learning at work. Another really good course.
This course will provide you with an understanding of what autism is and how it affects a child's daily life.
It will touch on what factors contribute towards a child developing autism as well as some of the typical behaviours associated with it and how you can provide effective support for those with the condition.
It also discusses what happens during the diagnosis process, some of the intervention methods that can help manage the condition and suggests some simple adaptations you can make to improve a child with autism's day to day life.
The course covers the following modules:
- Definitions, Context & Background
- Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Testing and Support
```
