So here's the thing. You can only violate people's legal rights and your own word so far before they lawyer up and come after you.
I really do hope Musk changes his mind and does the right thing - the employees deserve that. But it'll be fun as hell if he doesn't.
@sharplm Thanks a lot! It even texts in German when provided with some words to start with (I provided the title and "Als ich 10 Jahre alt war, fuhr ich ganz alleine mit dem Zug und")

For one day only (because it's more expensive for me), I've powered my story generator at https://story-machines.net with the latest GPT-3 davinci-003 model. Give it a try, to generate an opening for a short story. It's free, with no registration needed.

@true_mxp I'd rather think they cannot access the website on their own but have to go through this "service" provider. Which might be a cousin of the one managing our overleaf accounts
@true_mxp Just push jour hoptimist from time to time!

Please boost if you’re still masking indoors (in public places)
@true_mxp OTOH I somehow missed the point when we switched from "I'm sorry I exluded you" to "I'm sorry if you feel excluded."
@true_mxp Apparently, they do have a PDF but cannot upload it to the website ...
When you're a big semi-formal international organisation, running a tri-annual very big *inclusive* conference aiming at *diversity* and inclusiveness all over the place (e.g., translating the call-for-papers "into as many languages as possible"; encouraging to work on and report in "all languages"), that's very nice. And I do like this conference a lot!
But then why have the program and communication with organizers in an app which is available for smartphones only?
And this app (with only one one-stare review) apparently is from the same company that did the submission and registration website–so everybody does have an account there but of course the info message states that no connection to these accounts is possible. Brave new world!
I already paid a rather large fee for online participation and now I have to purchase an iPhone to just look up the slot for my presentation? Really?
What a mess!

This, from @kaveh1000, is fascinating, not only for the practical implications of making the XML version of scholarly documents the focal object of publishing, but the (ontological?) argument that the XML version is the content while PDF or HTML versions are derived "views" or representations of the content. The work of distinguishing the real from the derived is never ending. I'll be interested to see Kaveh's full presentation: https://bit.ly/3to8ntx#_NISO_talk

Einstellungsstopp an der #RUB Ruhr-Uni:

@postkulturwiss Wäre es sehr verwegen, zu schlussfolgern, dass "die Forschung nicht betroffen ist", weil es dort eh keine Haushaltstellen gibt und man Drittmittel nicht für Heizungskosten verwenden darf?

Wie @wdraktuell schreibt, werden an der Ruhr Universität Bochum 380 Stellen gestrichen, um die gestiegenen Energiepreise zu kompensieren. Es ist beschämend, dass Universitäten nun die langjährigen Versäumnisse und Fehler der Energie- und Außenpolitik von SPD und CDU ausbaden müssen. Ob es nun auch an anderen Universitäten zu solchen Streichungen kommt, hängt am politischen Handeln in den Ländern und Bund.

Could I tempt you to boost this post, or get involved in a project to customise Linux for users with special needs/learning difficulties? I have two such children. Adults now (18). I want to do something for my boys and for people like them. 🙂❤️
I've already done a bit, using Ansible, with AlmaLinux and Ubuntu: https://github.com/robpomeroy/BrightOS
Please spread the word - I'm sure someone out there would love to get involved!
