Rewe spricht die Sprache, die DFB und FIFA vermutlich verstehen. 🙏 Mögen viele Brands nachziehen. Obwohl, das fängt das Problem schon an. Keine Marke zieht gern nach. #OneLove spiegel.de/sport/wm-2022-in-ka

@fj The French Revolution also inspired the Vaudois·es to successfully rebel against Bern, from Pays de Vaud, to Canton de #Vaud and its beautiful (imho), yet totally non-compliant to heraldic rules, flag (so Vaudois ^^). @etatdevaud became an actual Canton thx to the invasion/annexion, through the "Canton du Léman" form.

One guy who has a street named after him in my neighborhood is a good ex. of what a deadly yet fascinating era the people of that time lived through: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-M

What does thawing #permafrost look like? Here's an example from a palsa mire in northern Norway: The permafrost in these peat mounds is thawing, due to #climate change, at which point they collapse. The peat gets submerged, and microorganisms convert soil carbon into #methane – a powerful greenhouse gas. But also: mosses and sedges begin to grow, which again store #carbon. At the University of Oslo, we are studying how this may act as a potential climate tipping point.

Hier im Wohngebiet hat jemand einige Hühner. Eine Henne büxt immer aus. Und die hat eine kleine Warnweste damit sie nicht umgefahren wird. Die läuft dann immer durch die Hood mit ihrer kleinen Weste und alle wissen: Aha Hennriette ist wieder on Tour.

Oh, die ersten 1.000 Verfolgerinnen und Verfolger sind erreicht 😊 Ein klein wenig Bedarf an Blöedsinn gibt es also auch im Fediverse. Wir können zwar keine $44 Milliarden öffentlich verbrennen, aber guter Blöedsinn ist ja auch deutlich günstiger zu haben 😉

Interesting explanation from a decently large Twitter advertiser on why they've paused their ad budget on Twitter after keeping it running for the past couple of weeks. teamblind.com/post/i-told-my-t

PLATO

In 1982 at the World's Fair, two boys are enthralled with the onscreen graphics of PLATO.

PLATO was an educational computing and software system developed in the early 1960s at Univ. of Illinois and purchased and expanded by Minneapolis-HQ'd Control Data Corp

@firefoxx66 Hi Emma, that cloud is a representation of the Twitter followers/follows of scientists including the ORCID ID. If you don't know it, than you maybe did not add yourself and the visible connections are from others to you.

You can add yourself to the list:

And the cloud is from @LeonDLotter

I also saw comments by artists of various kinds that most if not all of their audience and thus clients and thus income came from/via Twitter and they now have to re-start this side of their “business”

Similarly: When the airport BER did not open as announced but months years later, several small businesses selling food or flowers got bancrupt as they had already moved from Tegel to Schönefeld but without passengers no income

Last week I paid a small fee to be able to download PDF from Threadreader App. Which is really comfortable and makes archiving relevant threads or discussions super easy—and the PDFs look nice, too.

Anyway, it got me thinking about all these maybe rather small things/tools for/around Twitter people/startups produce and sell for little money as a side income or maybe even as main income. Most probably Twitter will nod disappear over night. But when people leave or use it differently, they don’t have a need for these apps any longer. So they stop paying (if it is a monthly/yearly fee and not a one-time price) resulting in reduced income for those developers. Or in them losing all of their income.

Are there any intuitions or even data on the impact of a massive change in Twitter audience and use on the surrounding eco-system?

Merkwürdige Zeiten: Statt nach Schnee riecht es draussen nach frischgeschnittenem Gras. Und es sieht auch nicht so aus, als wäre das das letzte Mal in diesem Jahr, dass die Abwarte Rasen mähen. Gefühlt könnten jetzt bitte sofort Weihnachts- und Semesterferien sein, stattdessen ist eher goldiger Oktober und ich geh nachher Tanne für Adventskranz besorgen.

Liegt sicher alles nur daran, dass ich den Herrnhuter Stern nicht abgebaut hatte und der schon ein ganzes Jahr munter vor sich hinleuchtet

9/ This is the problem with "language" discussions. We need *curriculum* discussions. If someone asks you "what language should I use", please don't provide answers. Please ask questions. Good questions. The right questions.

10/ A lot of people reading this are techies who are sometimes asked to help out in schools. I beg you, please watch at least until 8m30s into this talk, "Curriculum Design as an Engineering Problem". You'll get it. It's written for you.
