I don’t like to mention that rich guy over at #Twitter, but he’s rambling on about #ClimateChange & agriculture, which is in my wheelhouse. And he is also unabashedly & absurdly wrong.
Misinformation on climate change is irresponsible & dangerous, so let’s be clear:
25% to 30% of global emissions come from our #food system.
As UT Austin’s Michael Webber describes, agriculture is a major cause, victim and - importantly - meaningful solution to #climate change.

Good suggestion!
I contacted OPB on April 11 (before they left #twitter) and got a nice reply, part of which I shared here. More contacts will probably help!

I'm sure it will start to grow quickly and get a headstart on the other big public broadcaster #ARD, which has labeled its first account a test (@NDR).
Of course it would also be a headstart on the big public broadcasters, that are arguing with #Twitter.

Elon Musk’s obsession with blue checks is a verified problem
The verification mark originally was meant as a service. Musk is selling it as a status symbol. Unfortunately, that makes it less valuable.Elizabeth Lopatto (The Verge)
For Disconnect, I explain that Elon Musk needs this to push more users to subscribe to Twitter Blue so he can pay his $1.5 billion in annual interest payments. But it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

Twitter's Moment of Truth Has Arrived
As Elon Musk removes the legacy blue checks, he needs more people to subscribe. It isn't happening.Paris Marx (Disconnect)
In this one, we have @frameworkcomputer announcing a 16 inch laptop, with replaceable GPU expansion modules, we have @nextcloud releasing Hub 4, a new version with integrated AI tools, and a lot of updates to the core apps, and we have #Twitter planning to open source their algorithm at the end of the month.
Plus, screen sharing on Wayland should now work for every single app, and more!

"the only value of a twitter blue checkmark now is that people might mistake you for someone who is actually notable. if you get rid of every other checkmark, then the twitter blue checkmark literally means nothing."
And this is about to happen on April 1st. You can't make this up!

HPC and me
Recently I found that quite a few of my Twitter and Mastodon followers are working in high-performance computing (HPC). At first I was surprised because I’m not a HPC person, even if I love high performance computers.peter.czanik.hu
It's depressing to go on their right now, by March we will have moved on.
On #Twitter, I loved the common practice of writing threads explaining new #preprints and #papers in an understandable way.
I uttered my concern that through the chronological timeline here people might miss interesting science. A solution would be to agree on names for hashtags and/or a.gup.pe groups to ease tracking these "paper threads".
Following tags were named more then once: #newPaper #paperThread #preprint #researchPaper #mastoPrint #tootPrint.
Also, there was #tootorial, but that might be a slightly different category?
I heard people like participation - so let's do a poll! What's your favourite tag for threads explaining research articles? 📊 Multiple choices possible!

On #scienceTwitter, my favourite thing was reading and, on rare occasions, writing "paper/preprint threads". From the researchers I followed and through the #Twitter algorithm, this became my most important source for new #research.Neuromatch Social

We choose the content & what to highlight & celebrate. On #Twitter & other platforms, we became used to posting & expecting the most infuriating/outrageous/triggering news. It became sport & spectacle & promoted narcissism.
We have an opportunity to actively share in other ways here. Curate curiosity. Build on each other’s ideas.
@Gargron & team have given us a chance to do things differently. So far, I’m optimistic.
