We do the writing. We do the editing. We do the reviewing. We do the formatting (we typeset everything in LaTeX). We do the proofreading. We correct the mistakes introduced by proofreaders. What do publishers do? They make us sign silly copyright forms, stamp their logo on our papers, and then proceed to charge *us* (either as authors or readers) ridiculous amounts. People think academics/scientists are clever. We might be. But we are also stupid. And vain. #openaccess

I finally finished Loki s2. No spoilers but I wasn’t feeling the first few episodes and almost gave up. The end was pretty great though and I’m glad I hung in.
New short documentary from @openuk@hachyderm.io all about the state of #OpenSource in the UK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxWy_qgMa50 And, yes, the video is CC BY-SA 😄 (I'm a board member at OpenUK)

Those are modern, socially constructed categories of person, and using them uncritically encourages us to assume that past cultures shared our expectations for appropriate gender performance.
The world is going to hell and I’m growing tits about it

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a fun much-needed refresh of the 2D Mario series, with new sprites and animations to replace ones from the aging New Super Mario Bros line. The visual refresh is excellent, …
Why are the turkeys being pardoned? Never understood that. The turkeys didn't commit a crime. You're deciding not to EAT the damn bird and acting like you're forgiving it for doing something wrong. That has to suggest something about power.

Event-driven systems may not be the go-to solution for everyone because of the challenges they can add. While the system reacting to events published in other parts of the system seem elegant, some of the complexities they bring can be challenging. However, they do offer durability, autonomy & flexibility. In this...

You can now ask Bard about youtube videos. A cocktail recipe gets turned into >10 minute video, sprinkled with ads, protected by adblocker-blockers, to be digested by AI, analyzed via state of the art cpu arrays, to extract the original cocktail recipe for further marketing. Collectively, we are an amazingly dumb species. https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/22/23972636/bard-youtube-extension-update-search-video-content
Given my extensive experience with video games, it’s disappointing how few pressure plates we bump into in regular life. I’d like to drag a big rock over a pressure plate to escape the office one day
