Presented by
Brendan Kidwell,
an application developer at
Abt Associates Inc.,
an open source software developer and maintainer of the
Windows build of
Zim Desktop Wiki
Are you unhappy with being a Used instead of a User on Facebook?
Are you you bored with the echo chamber of journalists and trolls on Twitter?
In this talk, NYACC member Brendan Kidwell will introduce free software
and free services you can use to make friends and share ideas,
which aren’t controlled by Silicon Valley surveillance / advertising companies.
We will discuss the ActivityPub federated network,
powered by software Mastodon and Pleroma. We will also cover IRC
and some other lesser known systems.
Finally, we’ll go over some personal strategies you can use to stay secure,
happy, entertained, and informed while avoiding social networking rage.

Rules of Thumb for Computer Security
(Play video from YouTube)
|
Presented by Patrick Smyth, Web Analyst and Digital Fellow
With high-profile data breaches occurring on a regular basis nowadays,
computer security seems increasingly elusive.
But familiarity with a core set of concepts and techniques
can greatly improve your ability to protect yourself online.
This presentation explored these core concepts,
from examining common misconceptions about security
to useful tools and practices for defensive computing,
applicable regardless of operating system.
This
outline of the Computer Security presentation
(implemented using Reveal.js, a presentation framework
that’s an alternative to Powerpoint)
offers an overview of the valuable advice you missed
if you weren’t at this meeting.
When you attend NYACC meetings and become a member,
you can be informed on the latest contemporary issues,
participate in interesting Question and Answer sessions,
and automatically receive supplemental materials whenever available.

Presented by Alfred Poor, Ph.D.,
Editor of
“Health Tech Insider,”
a website and newsletter that covers the health and medical applications
of wearable technology.
The vast majority of seniors want to remain in their homes
instead of moving to managed settings,
but they are concerned about safety.
Technology can help. In this presentation, wearable technology expert Alfred Poor, PhD,
provides a practical overview of aging-in-place devices, remote medicine,
and other affordable systems that make it practical for seniors to remain in their own homes,
maintain an independent life, and save money — with safety and peace of mind for all.
