Wir sind J.B.O. und wir sind #neuhier 🤘🏻 Wer uns nicht kennt: Wir sind die Verteidiger des Blöedsinns, die Kickers of Ass, die fränkische Antwort auf die Frage, die niemand je zu stellen wagte…

Alles zu uns, zu unserer Musik und unseren Live-Auftritten gibt es natürlich auf https://www.jbo.de

For instance, a correctly formed citation to the above post would be:

Moreton, I.C.B. [@estrapade] (2022, November 12). We're all gonna need this sooner than expected so here is my proposed APA 7 style citation format for citing a ... [Mastodon post]. Kolektiva. https://kolektiva.social/@estrapade/109329872269455008

We're all gonna need this sooner than expected so here is my proposed APA 7 style citation format for citing a Mastodon post

Lastname, F.M. [@mastodon@handle.tld] (20XX, Month DD). Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut ... [Mastodon post]. Name of instance. [URL of post]

As with the format for citing a Twitter post, the correct reference list title is the first 20 words of the post, and the correct short title is the first 5, both using an ellipsis if necessary.

As interest builds in archiving parts of Twitter, it’s a good time to check out Documenting the Now, a set of tools and guiding policies for archiving social media ethically, with guidance by communities at risk. It’s a years-long project led by archivists, who are specially trained to understand the ethical and practical implications of preservation. https://www.docnow.io

Gerne würden wir uns als technisch fortschrittliche Gemeinde mit anderen innovativen Gemeinden und Städten im Fediverse vernetzen.

Aber ausser dem idyllischen @Hintertupfikon haben wir noch keine entdeckt.

Gibt es die hier überhaupt?

Considering ”tech” execs today, I can’t help but think ”plus ça change…”

From what I have seen, the texts produced by galactica.org tend to start off strong, but then quickly become repetitive. Of course, circular definitions are great for internal coherence…

And as it says in the fine print: “Language Models are prone to hallucinate text.”

Gotta love these US scholars who discover that there are other languages besides English and who then feel the urgent need to ‘educate’ everybody about this because they assume everybody’s like them.

One of the most dangerous myths about the digital world is the idea that once something is online it’ll be available forever. Digital preservation is complicated, expensive, and many companies aren’t interested in doing it.

This is a serious problem…(here is a link to a Technology Review article about historical preservation and Twitter)

Als ich das Känguru zum ersten Mal in meine Wohnung ließ, habe ich leider Twitter gekauft. Schönen Dienstag!

I don’t think #COVID is “mild”, not in regard to possible longterm effects. So while most are celebrating their “freedom” (to infect others) and their “high immunity” (from having to stay at home while sick), I’m happy to remain in the control group.

Along with the warm fall weather, the drop in case numbers has stopped now, first in the age group 10–19, then in the 80+. For ⅔ of the 70+ the last dose was over 9 months ago and the current boosting rate is hesitant.

I just posted the latest episode of the radio show: https://www.waywordradio.org/if-grandma-had-wheels/ We particularly had fun with the segment about all the different terms for weak or bad coffee: https://www.waywordradio.org/names-for-weak-coffee/
