🎓 PhD project in #OpenScience, please boost 🙏 Deadline 7 Jan.

Join the BioRDM team at #EdinburghUniversity to study Electronic Lab Notebooks 📖 in #BioScience! We work alongside bench biologists 'at the coalface'. This PhD will analyse how our colleagues use ELNs, how we and they together can improve their #metadata, and whether using an ELN really leads to more or FAIRer data sharing.

Fuding is competitive, for non-UK citizens.

a veces las personas de a pie ven muy difícil la conexión entre los servicios digitales que usamos de a diario y su involucramiento en otros eventos geopolíticos. pero mientras más va escarbando une, más se da cuenta de lo involucradas que están las bigtech en muchos frentes de lo peor del capitalismo en su fase actual.

Here's my take on the #enshittification of internet technology over the 2010s, based on the word @pluralistic coined. I've added "developer enshittification" to the mix (see: React). cybercultural.com/p/enshittifi…

However, I do end on a note of optimism: the decentralized web as represented by the fediverse, Mastodon and potentially Bluesky. "It's a new world for those who have chosen to leave the Enshittocene behind them. Won't you join us?"

in reply to Evan Prodromou

I think a fair litmus test for whether something is a fediverse app would be if, moderation reasons nonewithstanding, you could follow your cosocial.ca account from it and vice versa. This is true for Mastodon, and true for Flipboard, but not currently true for Threads. I don’t think it’s a fallacy to think that.

“Some of our people call this Thankstaking Day. There’s no give-and-take. There’s no reciprocity... if this country ever could face its own misdeeds, take responsibility for its bad history here or all over the world now, that’s the first step...“

Marketing is deeply abused in our digital age. I'm tired of the manipulations, misinformation, and disinformation. On the otherhand I want to know when something I do like/need is available: such as new episodes of Star Trek, or soaps that don't include colours or fragrances that cause me to break out into itchy hives.

I've just stumbled across Trust Web Times which specialises in making people aware of abuses in marketing, as well as pointing out ways to market with integrity. I will have to dig further to see how I feel about this site. Nevertheless, some of their stuff is genuinely enlightening, like their articles about Adtech.

Lies Hurt You & Hold You Back: A Look at Lying in the Workplace


..."Harris considers white lies to be the most dangerous of all because although we imagine that we are telling these lies out of compassion for others, we rarely understand or anticipate their damage.

"This is because by lying, we deny those around us access to the best available information, and they, in turn, are then left to come to decisions or conclusions based on incorrect evidence."





I realised I've been mostly negative on here of late... so...

last night I got to go to a Science Awards night... along with hearing about great work from people who save lives and make lives better, a junior colleague got a medal for an amazing piece of work on how our blue marble works - awesome! She gave a perfect thank-you speech neatly traversing the science, the people who enabled it and navigating it all with a trio of young kids! Nice one Bella.

Bodo Stern at #HHMI is spot on in his assessment of the decision by #WebOfScience to stop indexing @eLife articles: "Rather than helping move scholarly communication forward, Web of Science, by punishing a leader in the field, is in fact holding it back."

@cOAlitionS_OA

in reply to Ludo Waltman

"Web of Science de-listed eLife because the new publishing model can result in the publication of studies with 'inadequate' or 'incomplete' evidence ...

other journals, which use the traditional and confidential peer review model, remain indexed in the Web of Science even though some of the articles they publish also have inadequate or incomplete evidence. The difference is that they do not label these articles as such."

Please nobody do this (*) but I am curious what would happen if you said "the more we talk, the more I realise how much you have in common with Trump"

(*) I cannot imagine it could end well but that alone does not stop me being curious.

in reply to Jen Sorensen

Odd how it's still 100% relevant. Nothing has changed since.


The *really clever people* at Discord now let users post with external apps on their accounts, and it's enabled by default.

And the result is...you guessed it, annoying to deal with spam.

I suggest disabling on your servers it to be safe.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

posting with apps still requires the user to run a Commando every time, does it really lead to spam? I am only really active in well behaved and not so qctive servers so it didn't come up for me yet.
Also I don't think that's new?
