Here's another book which is a course text for module TB872: doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-7...
I'm finding this book interesting as part of my MSc in Systems Thinking: doi.org/10.1007/978-1-84996-...

I'm blogging the work that I'm doing for the MSc in Systems Thinking in Practice that I've just started.

Hey all, hiding out here while I'm "off social media"
Been a while, hi everyone! Just been showing someone around and realised I haven't posted for a few weeks...
I encountered this issue while using Bonfire:
@BonfireBuilders #bonfire_feedback When I go to the 'Discussion' tab on mobile I get an error message: "Sorry you can't view this string"
One thing I really like about Bonfire is that the default font size on mobile is sensible. Also the messages are full-width.

Good use of the above quotation by Marshall McLuhan in this article by L. M. Sacasas. They point out that we no longer access to coherent narratives, but rather find ourselves confronting "a cacophony of data points (videos, statements, claims, images, etc.)"
Which is why conspiracy theories abound.
Sharing start.coops.tech here as well - it's the MVP of a service to help people who might be interested in starting (tech) co-operatives 😀
I was going to say "I very much enjoyed" watching this video, but "enjoy" isn't the right verb. I guess the feeling is more like having someone with more experience around economics verbalising a feeling you have and giving insight as to why it's happening.

#bug When clicking on 'Notifications' I was presented with an 'Accept' button, but clicking on it produced an error (and I didn't know what it was for?
