The issues weren’t just shady finances or random ego-driven decisions, but a total U-turn from why maps.me was even forked. Those alleged Russian military ties? Of course, totally denied - facts, names, and geography don’t matter. Questions got deleted, devs got defensive, and whatever moral compass there was flew straight into the bin. Good app, shame about... literally everything else behind it.

That's quite an article. Very worrying. Too bad the authors didn't provide links or structural evidence backing up their claims. And I don't want to waste my time on a goose chase.

It helps me stay anonymous on the internet and do research without being followed. I am a left-wing political activist... Currently governments of nearly all states have passed or are planning on new police laws. These laws are against basic human rights and open possibilities of mass-surveillance. Thus, technologies like Tor are essential not only for the people trying to stop these law aggravations but for all of us. I use Tor in my daily political work to stay a bit under the radar of secret agencies and police. An internet without Tor is an internet I wouldn't want to use for many things. Not only that I don't want to share all my personal data with random strange companies, I also don't want to face repression for legitimate human rights political work. Biljana is a pseudonym.

This new editorial in Nature is a bit naive. There *is* a pivot penalty, and it has lots of negative side effects. However, you cannot simply wish it away. The incentive schemes in academia are products of business model of modern, tuition/endowment-hungry university system. So long as visibility drives revenue, researchers will be incentivized to maximize visibility over scientific impact.

Researchers who ‘pivot’ into new fields should not be given a citation penalty

Um nochmal die #fediverse und #mastodon Diskussion von der #rp25 rund um das Thema "Sichtbarkeit und Reichweite" aufzunehmen. Was haltet ihr von der Idee, das Anlegen von "Frontpages fürs Fediverse" als Feature anzubieten? Also eine webbasierte Funktion zum Kuratieren von Posts in einem HTML Interface als "Zubringer" für Interessierte und Neulinge? Hab mir mal einen hässlichen PoC gevibecodet - und dank API ist das ja eigentlich gut machbar.

@Gargron Meine Idee wäre, dass jeder, der einen Account hat, eine eigene, themen- und interessenspezifische Explore-Seite anlegen und kuratieren und z.B. in seinen Blog einbinden kann. Die hätten dann durchaus auch Interesse an der Promotion dieser Inhalte und damit der Mastodon-Inhalte außerhalb des Netzwerks.

Medium Hot: Images in the Age of Heat. What is the future of the image in the age of climate change and artificial intelligence? @hito

👉🏻 versobooks.com/products/3329-m…

The image features a dark background with two vibrant orange and yellow flowers, resembling marigolds, positioned in the upper left and lower right corners. The flowers have a fiery appearance, with petals that appear to be in motion, suggesting heat or energy. Overlaid on the image is text in white and yellow font, reading "Medium Hot" at the top, "Hito Steyerl" in the middle, and "Images in the Age of Heat" at the bottom. The text is centered and clearly legible against the dark background. The overall composition creates a striking contrast between the fiery flowers and the dark background, emphasizing the theme of heat.

Medium Hot

Hito Steyerl is one of the most celebrated artists of our time. Her work, both as an artist and a writer, has consistently challenged the political boundaries between art and technol­ogy.
