Is this the start of the tables turning on AI slop? Imagine if people had to pay the true cost of their AI's output.... Electricity... Environment... Accuracy... Would human experience re-establish it's value?

We’re all competing for time + attention. But SEO? Still gets pushed down the list. For charities, that means missing the moment someone is actively searching for help. This guide keeps it simple + human 👇 👉 www.pooka.co/seo-for-char... #SEOforCharities #DigitalForGood #OpenSourceForGood

We measure traffic. But are we measuring health? GA4 is powerful. but for small teams it can feel like opening a cupboard you’d rather not tidy. This kicks off our practical series on checking website health (starting with: is your traffic even real?) www.pooka.co/measure_heal... #DigitalForGood

AI might dominate headlines. But long before that, #Linux was quietly powering the web. #Opensource. Community-built. No single owner. Most of the internet still runs on it. Not all progress needs to shout. What open source tools do you rely on?

We’ve been talking AI a lot lately. So here’s a nod to something else we love using: Kdenlive. #Opensource. No subscriptions. No ecosystem lock-in. Just a solid editing tool built by a global community. Not everything good in tech needs hype. What open source tools are in your setup?

49% are already using AI at work. That was the headline stat from the SCVO Gathering last week. Adoption is real. Governance is still catching up. Our short reflection on what that means for the third sector 👇 www.pooka.co/third_sector...
