@Mina Aber fragen wir besser die Muttersprachler*innen:-).

--> Est-ce qu'il y a des francophones ici? Est-ce que vous pourriez nous dire où on met l'accent dans un mot polysyllabique en français?

merci pour boost:-)

I do like it here on Mastodon, but the huge influx of people from Twitter means there are far fewer image descriptions than from even a couple of weeks ago. I’d love to tell every one of them about this, but quite frankly there are so many I don’t have the patience. I’d dearly love it if apps could block posts unless an image description was added to every photo, but I suppose that’s too much to hope for. I’m feeling really excluded from so many conversations. It’s getting as bad as Twitter.

Perhaps at some point I'll write a thread on my deep concerns about our reliance on Google Scholar.

For now, though, why on earth does Google Scholar not let you sort your search results?

You have basically one choice: to see them in "relevance" order—and we're not even told the secret formula used to determine relevance.

You can also sort by date—for papers from the past year only.

It's really crazy that a mature tool supposedly designed to serve the community would be severely limited.

Did you know? The Department of #Linguistics at the University of Konstanz @unikonstanz offers MA courses in Linguistics, Multilingualism, and Speech & Language Processing. These can be studied entirely through the medium of English! https://www.ling.uni-konstanz.de/en/studies/master-of-arts/ @linguistics

Seit vielen Monaten sterben mehr Menschen als statistisch zu erwarten wäre. Die Gründe sind noch unklar, es gibt verschiedene Hypothesen. Was aber sicher ist: Die Impfung ist nicht die Ursache der #Übersterblichkeit

Finally took delivery of our #Zuriga G2 #coffee grinder.

It replaces a Eureka Mignon Silenzio, which is also a good grinder, but the G2 has some unique features—and of course, the design matches that of the Zuriga espresso machine…

Possibly the most frightening talent of the brown bear is an uncanny ability to blend seamlessly into the environment in an almost chameleon-like manner, allowing them to easily surprise their unsuspecting prey.

Want to help redesign one of the most popular and widely-used tools for researchers?

Zotero is hiring a designer: https://www.zotero.org/jobs/ui_designer

Would do it if I could. Ideal for someone else who has great UX / product design chops.

Oh dear. I've just been informed that collecting the names of every person on the planet for my naughty and nice lists is, and I quote, “a significant and wholly irresponsible breach of #GDPR “.
I'm going to hand out about 8 billion consent forms soon. If you could all get them back to me ASAP that would be appreciated.

It's just occurred to me that I haven't shared my foolproof template for good abstracts on Mastodon yet, so here it is

Die Datenschutzkonferenz hat beschlossen, dass die Office 365 Datenschutzregeln nicht ausreichen, um die Software in Schulen und Behörden einzusetzen. Die Nutzung ist damit nicht rechtskonform.
Damit folgt die Konferenz der deutschen Datenschutzbehörden den Beschlüssen in Frankreich.
