🕵️ Looking for a survey tool that will enable us to:1. Ask participants questions about 'digital readiness'2. Display results in a radar plotOpen Source preferable, but for this client it really needs there to be a free/cheap SaaS option (as we don't usually host things long-term for clients)---Any ideas?

@syntax Thanks! I'm looking for something that would show a radar plot to the person filling in the survey immediately upon finishing.Do you know if Nextcloud forms can do that? 🤔

@mike Well you asked, so I'll reply. I get up at 06:30 every day and start work at 08:00 after having done some exercise (running or exercise bike)I stop at 10:00 for coffee, and the again at 12:00 for lunch and a walk (sometimes with the family)I start work again at 13:00 and work until 16:30, with a short break in the middle to get a snack (usually yogurt with dates, coconut, and honey)

One of the difficulties of persuading organisations (esp. public sector orgs) of becoming more open is that they're:1. Scared2. Want case studiesSo this is a general post with a specific use case in mind 😅

I think I've used Firefox for about 17 years. Most of the time it's been my main and default browser. During that time, I worked for the Mozilla Foundation for 3 years.So, given the recent news, it really pains me to even think about switching to Chromium. But, miracles aside, I can't see how Firefox as a browser is going to survive in 2021 with its current market share and resourcing levels 😔

This was shared by the Director of IT & Infrastructure at Brave Software. Not sure of the original provenance.Happy to see it would currently take 193 trillion years to crack the unique passwords I generate to login in various places.Not sure how quickly quantum computing will change all this, though? 🤔

@rysiek Working with friends and people who aren't passive-aggressive (which is what I do most of the time) doesn't make me anxious. I realise that's not true for everyone...

@zzz From my perspective, it's about power. So co-ops are about democratising the workplace through worker ownership, while trade unions are about collective action by aorkers against abuses of power by owners.I think an interesting question would be how many co-operative workers are members of trade unions?

@zzz Well in our (small) co-op, we're all directors so there doesn't seem much point in being part of a union.Of course, there are financial perks of being part of a union (discounts, access to legal services, etc.). There's also the tradition of being a union member for those on the political left.So that's why, although I don't need to be, I'm both a member of a co-op *and* a member of a union.
