IFTAS is happy to announce the public availability of our DSA Guide for Decentralized Services – a practical guide for small and micro services that are subject to the EU’s Digital Services Act.
If your server has member accounts in the EU, or is publicly viewable in the EU, your service is most likely impacted by this regulation, even if you are not based or hosted in the EU.

Because they bring me such joy, I will share with you all the software testing videos I share with my Software Design and Development students.
Video 1/3: “We don’t need user testing! We already know our users”
@Jmb158 Intéressant comme reflexion ! Je suis tombée sur https://www.persee.fr/doc/camed_0395-9317_2000_num_61_1_1287 en cherchant plus d'informations sur ce sujet...

BIC to Thema – after the conversion
For over a decade, we have been using the BIC classification code, which was used by many – mostly UK based – publishers. However, the BIC classification was deprecated in February 2024, and is succeeded by the Thema classification.
Now, the classification has been updated in the #OAPEN #Library and the Directory of #OpenAccess #Books (DOAB)

"It takes skill and knowledge to write software. And while many skills and some knowledge will transfer, working on a new software project inevitably requires developing new skills and more knowledge. Software developers are not fungible cogs that you can swap in and out at will...
This thread is a microcosm of the interactions in Open Source projects. Consumers make demands (some polite, some not-so-polite) of one maintainer (rarely two) that does everything."

Things spotted on Easter Market Day in a small city in Aotearoa #NewZealand.
A woman in her twenties buying a plain baguette from an artisanal bakery stall, sniffing it, grinning and biting off a big chunk. Walks off chewing with obvious happiness.
A 70ish man inspecting floral cushions at a stall: Those cushions are a bit extra aren't they?
Teenager: Grandad! You can't say that. You don't even know what it means!
Grandfather: (deadpan, while studying cushion): That's a bit extra of you to say isn't it?
A man at a magnetic copper jewellery stall telling another man that the minute he put on his copper bracelet, he could feel tingling in his feet.
The other man whistling and nodding slowly saying that the universe is a mysterious place.
A tiny floof of a white dog desperately trying to convince its humans that it really deserved one of the petit fours they'd just purchased by means of some of the most intense staring and mind control ever seen. No noise, just staring. Intense, intense staring. Cake achieved.
A couple walking to their car, beaming, eating from two boxes of fresh figs. I asked them where they'd gotten them and they immediately gave me one, saying they'd gotten the second for free. Everyone walked off feeling great about themselves. (I'm so full of figs)
A woman enthusiastically greeting another, asking how she is. The other giving her a big hug and announcing that her macadamia tree is going to fruit this year. Excitement all round.

A small rant about zombie ideas and the tendency to keep looking for modifications of study methods to avoid concluding that a null result is really null. http://deevybee.blogspot.com/2024/03/just-make-it-stop-when-will-we-say-that.html
