I do remember horrible Jello recipes from the 60s and 70s. But I also remember one or two gelatin dishes that are quite nice. It just became a thing on social media to put the hate on all things gelatin. I would joke: talk about this enough and you will bring it back! People will get curious, and next thing you know some people will want it!

The presenter for Tasting History is a lot of fun! I learned so much about the gilded era!

Then there are those Chinese salted plums - reputed to be the cure for everything. (I've had medical draughts made from those things and I can attest that some of them will make you swear off ever getting sick again.)

All else aside the cost to the budget is actually higher because these deportations literally remove taxpayers.

@Gargron yep, somewhere around $100+ billion annually contributed by undocumented immigrants through local, state, and federal taxes.

So duckduckgo has a 'no AI' version, at the link noai.duckduckgo.com/

I do wish they went for an opt-in so you could choose the ai version at something like 'ai-dot-duckduckgo'. But it's better than nothing.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman wanted to have at least 5 Saudi universities among the top 200 in the world by 2030.

So he paid lots of scientists to falsely claim they worked in Saudi Arabia! Some got up to โ‚ฌ70,000 a year just for pretending to work there.

Unfortunately they got caught. The newspaper El Pais exposed the scam.

In 2022, Saudi Arabia had 109 professors on the List of Highly Cited Researchers, compiled by Clarivate. After a bunch got caught, the number dropped to 26. ๐Ÿคฃ

Someone should carefully check those 26 researchers.

In fact this "List of Highly Cited Researchers" is a fraud magnet. As of 2024, one in three apparently highly cited researchers has been caught engaging in bad practices.

This is a great example of Goodhart's Law: ""When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure".

Thanks to @mansr for pointing this out.

Together with @vinciane (as OSP) we worked on the visual identity of @imal next exhibition (imal.org/en/events/i-am-verticโ€ฆ), currated by @320x200 and @l03s, a introspective of iMAL that focuses on digital art that escapes or preceed the alienating monoculture of homogenity/smoothness/ressource-intensiveness of modern technology.

As an answer, we decided to work on the identity away from our modern devices (laptops and phones). Instead of relying on alternative/FLOSS softwares running on our modern devices, we searched for alternatives tools entierly. We ended up befriending: a telecran (or etch-a-sketch), a Dymo label printer, an old typewritter like pen-plotter, a copier, posca, conversations and our hands.

Opening on the 1st of July, come gossip with us at the documentation table about the beautiful ecosystems of folkloric/intimate/situated creative technology that can exist at so-called 'obselete' edges of techno-capitalism.

working on that project materialized a necessary reminder that I hope will pass to others: technological alternatives can't be downloaded and installed on your modern devices. Alternatives is a cultural practice. Its require to revisit, deconstruct and change a whole "culture of doing" that was induced by the alienating softwares we learn to live with. This is something that can't be downloaded. It requires frictions, failing, to see your limits, and the limits of your tools, to befriend their singular attitude, to rephrase the problems differently, instead of looking for more (techno)-solutions, to refuse social behaviors and production standards we take for granted.

We didn't work by downloading yet another alternatives, we worked with a toy from the 60s, an office label printer from the 90s, a deprecated plotter for lettering on the drawing electronic board from the 90s.

Alternative is a way of thinking on how to make in meaningful ways depending of your context, not a service manufactured, provided or prescribed.

In the @servus page of the current issue of @versorgerin i tried to put together a few readings and thuoghts from the last weeks and months: tech sovereignty, decomputing, antifascist infrastrutture, self hosting.

~~ Support self-hosters, decompute MAGA-GAFAM ~~
Local server initiatives offer ways for ยปdecomputingยซ from the big tech ideology and thereby build antifascist infrastructures to counter the global reactionary digitalization.

This naturally has an impact on our annual program and raises questions about the upcoming issue of #AMRO.

We are in the process of adapting our annual program and developing a plan for the future. We will definitely keep informed the community.
