Research on Fedi

Are you on an academic/scholarly/sciencey Fedi server?

Does your server have a policy regarding researching its users?

This is Scholar's, for example:

scholar.social/terms#research

We should be having this conversation about user consent, expectations and instance policies *now* before you end up having to explain why your cool cool paper about Fedi is getting retracted



I've got a story to tell you: Storyteller has a release date. I'm not kidding. 23 March 2023. Steam and Switch.

I built this tool a year ago but I feel like Mastodon folks would like it

The "Weird Old Book Finder"

Type in a search query, and it'll find one randomly-chosen public-domain book that matches the query -- and present it for immediate reading: weirdoldbookfinder.net/

Why only one book? To prevent the paradox of choice! Just *start readin'*

Can't promise every book will be weird, but most are

A longer essay on how/why I developed it: debugger.medium.com/a-search-e…

This was a search for "mastodon"

Good news for Premium users: We have started working on 'different sender name per alias'. Soon you will be able to use your alias email addresses even better! 😀🤩

If you want to learn more about alias email addresses and how these can increase security online, check our blog:

Academics who are on GitHub, consider upvoting this excellent suggestion from @Edent (see link below).

The suggestion is to change the code used by ORCID's website to allow Mastodon verification links to be found. This would allow Mastodon users with an ORCID page to verify that they are the author of the publications listed on their ORCID page.

In 2017, we were trying to make "going woolly" a thing.

In 2022, I try again.

Hi! #introduction ! I'm a #phd student in #chemistry ! I study #nanoparticle #liquidcrystal self-assembly, which has implications in our understandings of #biology nanostructures, #materials chemistry, and #nanotechnology

I’ve been #scicomm ing my #research on #twitch - I'm developing #3dprinting inks from seaweed and other #biomaterials !

I interview scientists weekly, so if you're interested, let me know! I’d love to have you

Welcome to the fediverse! 👋 It's super exciting to discover your sciomm project via this intro.

I encourage you to delete and redraft your post so you can add proper alt text to your image. Some on the fedi (I'm realizing that this is probably going to include me now) will not boost posts that do not have it.

You can follow @PleaseCaption for reminders.



I've always felt revenue share seems more complicated than it is as a topic, but I think my daily use of those terms & ideas made it hard for me to see how many devs really could use a 101 on the topic with examples, warnings, & values.

Staggering to think Zuckerberg looked at all the anger people expressed dealing with pandemic regulations and thought the boosts were because people actually loved not going anywhere or doing anything, and would only become deeper shut-ins once they had options.

in reply to Brendan Sinclair

And why didn't he realize it sooner, right? Like, people were actively going against safety recs before the first 6 mo were up to not be shut-ins, and 2.5 years later, he's like, "Whoopsidoodle! Guess I misunderstood people!" 11,000 people are going to suffer for that.

Such a cute picture.

The setup (rodent in pinball machine) reminds me of the game Sonic Spinball which I used to play on some cheap portable Sega Megadrive clone in the 2000s. Fun game but I just wasn't skilled enough at it as a child.





A question that keeps coming back is how to apply a struct to a database in #uxntal.

Here's the little example I will be using in the upcoming docs 😀

@tebicat I like the idea of adding raw rel ref, (although, I never managed to write a return stack loop that worked properly)

Those are all good ideas, I've tried the compile-time arithmetic before but it complexified everything too much for the simple uxntal assembler, I don't think I could implement that one myself.

Adding the two new raw byte runes would be a good first step tho, I wonder what would be a good raw rel rune, `_`?

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

@tebicat So I've updated uxnasm to support the -rune, and =rune, without replacing the :rune, they'll both work for now.

But you can try it out at least, the -rune is pretty neat, it'll let you create zp byte references!

Enjoy.

Howdy! Here's a brief #introduction repost since I just moved to scholar.social. I am a Black, queer and trans social worker and PhD student at Dalhousie University (Halifax, NS), so sciences.social seemed like a good fit. My research is about how anti-Black homophobia serves to limit access to health and social service care for Black gbtq+MSM in Canada. More info about me here! 👉🏾 vincentmousseau.net

This is a cool paper where influenza and RSV can share surface proteins during a coinfections.. although one of these viruses is gets more from sharing than others

in reply to Faz Alam :verified:

heyo, I hope you are aware that there's a culture of using alt text on fediverse (that might be getting diluted by all these newcomers) to ensure those with screenreaders can have a good experience so if if could please edit/delete and redraft that would be great!
