@marcusgreen The real problem is #Google, which rapes #Android and the open‑source license, forcing you to use only Google or certified apps, on top of its web monopoly. Institutions and #banks are corrupt and obey the rules imposed by these companies. The problem is our #EU own institutions, which stifle competition by endorsing regulations from these American companies. #Europe

I was updating the readme file for my #Moodle question bank #bulktags plugin with an #ai assistant enabled (#Cody).
https://github.com/marcusgreen/moodle-qbank_bulktags
I was pleased to see it makes suggestions not just for code but for general text as seen in the attached screenshot.Having said that it offered an incorrect suggestion that required an understanding of how tags vs categories work.

Does AI have any good use cases?
I listened to a reposting on “Cory Doctorow and Ed Zitron on Enshittification and the Rot Economy”
Ed Zittron views AI as a "batshit insane" financial bubble. While acknowledging some niche utilities, he argues that claims of AI replacing professionals are "lies" used to drive profit. He believes the current massive spending on AI infrastructure provides almost no lasting productive value.
(From #AI Summary..)

I have been enjoying the #MapMen Youtube videos for a long time and they were recently interviewed about their new book. This statement struck me
“And Mark and I are of the opinion that actually those two things go together very well because if you make something silly and funny and fun, you're going to remember it more”
#Learning cannot happen without engagement.

Beware tech giants offering free lunches

I have released a new version of my #Moodle #advancedgrading report plugin. It fixes some minor issues and confirms compatibility with Moodle 5.0.
The report shows a breakdown of grading for the rubric and marking guide methods for #assignment.

I had rented a #hosted #RaspberryPi from @beasts on a month by month basis. After just under a month of playing I decided I didn’t want to continue the subscription as I didn’t really have a use for it. I emailed them to cancel the subscription.
I got confirmation the same day, a small credit note (wasn’t expecting that) and an email discussion about what other services I might buy from them.
Read about their simple cancellation policy here

#Atto is being removed from core Moodle
The Atto editor will be removed from core with the release of #Moodle 5.0 in April.
https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83282
I believe it will be available from the plugins database but in the long term #TinyMCE is the future. -
#Moodle wird in #UK-Schulen nicht häufig verwendet und ich denke, dass #MoodleSTACK ein Grund sein könnte, es zu verwenden. Ich habe daran gearbeitet, es über #LTI zu verwenden, was bedeutet, dass es von anderen Systemen wie #Blackboard oder #Canvas aus verwendet werden kann.

I have been writing some #code for a #Moodle plugin using the #Cody plugin for #Vscode and #Codium.
I find it very helpful. It will create boilerplate code in seconds that would take me multiple minutes to create. It is mostly the right code and sometimes it phrases things slightly better than I would have done.
I sometimes hear AI described as sophisticated autocomplete, which it turns out is something I find very helpful.

I have been using the #cody plugin with #VSCode and #Codium IDE’s for a while now
https://sourcegraph.com/
For my #Moodle development
I have found it very, useful. A Typical scenario is that I start to type in a command and it offers me the possibility of a completion. Sometimes it is exactly what I want, frequently it is close and I tweak it.
However the ultimate #Moodle specific development tool is -
The #GPL licensed #STACK system is the most powerful #Maths question type available & is backed by the the #Maxima CAS System. Although it requires #Moodle, Moodle can deliver it to any #LTI compliant VLE (e.g. #Blackboard and #Canvas).
STACK comes with with over 1,000 #mathematics questions, from the #HELM project. These range from the absolute basics to advanced Maths.
