"#Mastodon is interesting because it is a decentralized, federated system...not controlled by a single entity."

"There is a growing community of scientists using Mastodon, spread across numerous different instances (e.g. mtsdn.science, mas.to, mastodon.social, genomics.social, fediscience.org). bioRxiv and medRxiv are happy to announce we will be joining biologists.social [an instance] operated by The Company of Biologists...a non-profit organization run by biologists that supports research"

There is no insect-friendly lighting, as I could see this early evening on a walk in a park. Warm light color, low intensity, 0% ULOR and still moths and other insects are pinned to a spiderweb.

Always consider this before adding light to an environment. Light responsibly!

The latest @pluralistic is full of so many fantastic points. I've forwarded this a half dozen ways with seperate pull quotes for each friend

"For a lot of people, the analysis stops here. "If you're not paying for the product, you're the product." Google locks in users and sells them to advertisers, who are their co-conspirators in a scheme to screw the rest of us.

But that's not right. For one thing, paying for a product doesn't mean you won't be the product. Apple charges a thousand bucks for an iPhone and then nonconsensually spies on every iOS user in order to target ads to them (and lies about it):

John Deere charges six figures for its tractors, then runs a grift that blocks farmers from fixing their own machines, and then uses their control over repair to silence farmers who complain about it:

Usłyszałem dziś od ucznia mega komplement, serio! Walczyliśmy z konfiguracją dwóch kompów i dwóch prostych routerów w celu zrozumienia, na czym polega routing statyczny – i w pewnym momencie uczeń, pełnym podziwu głosem powiedział: ale pan ma do nas cierpliwość! :)

Otóż często nie mam, ale w tej pracy nie można tego okazywać, bo wszystko szlag trafi i młodzi się zniechęcą, a poza tym nie wyrobią sobie nawyku dążenia do celu pokonując przeszkody. Niecierpliwość belfra doprowadzi do sytuacji, że będą się zatrzymywać na przeszkodzie twierdząc, że dalej się po prostu nie da. Najgorzej.

Zwykle odreagowuję w Elder Scrolls Online, ale ostatnio nie mam czasu na granie...

3 October 1934 | A Polish Jewish girl, Nina Ehrlich, was born in Sosnowiec.

In 1943 she was deported to Auschwitz from Będzin ghetto. She was murdered in a gas chamber.

My first big Comp Sci school assignment was to write a tiny bootstrap loader to toggle in on the front panel of a PDP-8, which then loaded our next assignment: a tiny OS from a paper tape reader.

Toggling in 32-bit programs would have been a nightmare.

When I think about how the old, good internet turned into the #enshitternet, I imagine a series of small compromises, each seemingly reasonable at the time, each contributing to a cultural norm of making good things worse, and worse, and worse.

Paper accepted - great way to start the morning! "Naming the menagerie: creativity, culture, and consequences in the formation of scientific names", coauthored with @Jjmlynarek, coming your way in Proceedings B.

Idea: it's like Google but it shows results for your search query not whatever it's decided to do instead.

#SolarPunk dla dzieci?

Biblioteka publiczna we Wschowie prowadzi coś pod tytułem "Uniwersytet Dziecięcy". Mam możliwość zdobyć tam parę slotów na wykłady, prezentacje i warsztaty, pod warunkiem, że nie będę chciał za to pieniędzy.
Czy ktoś by przyjechał w któryś weekend i zrobił opowieść o SolarPunku? Grupa wiekowa 8-11 lat. Wsparcie pedagogiczne zapewniają organizatorzy.
Ja mogę nakarmić, oprowadzić i ogólnie dopieścić.

She knew how to take a parting shot:

That morning at the lab, Kariko’s old boss had come to see her off. She did not tell him what a terrible mistake he was making in letting her leave. She didn’t gloat about her future at BioNTech [...] then a relative upstart in the field. Instead the woman who had bounced from dep't to dep't, with no tenure prospects and never earning over $60,000 a year, said with total confidence: “In the future, this lab will be a museum. Don’t touch it.”

"🙏🏿Lord please grant me the confidence to deny a brilliant woman professor and researcher tenure track, demote her, push her out of my school, to be the adversity that she had to overcome in life... and when she overcomes me and wins the Nobel prize, to roll in like I did something. Amen!"

U Penn is bold! Real talk, I couldn't do that. I couldn't even fake that till I make that. Levels.
