La mia osservazione è che con il fediverso ancora non abbiamo azzeccato un modo sostenibile di fare comunità.

Anni fa sono entrato in diasp.org e anche se mi piaceva tantissimo, semplicemente dimenticavo di tornare. Questo si può confrontare con il comportamento dei social commerciali, che mesi dopo continuano di mandarmi messaggi per tirarmi indietro. Credo che dovrebbe esserci una via etica di mezzo.

Oggigiorno invece, lemmy è l’unica parte del fediverso, compatibile con ActivityPub che sta crescendo (analitiche qui: fedidb.org) al di là delle ondate da Tweeter, Reddit e simili. Io penso che proprio i gruppi di interessi potrebbero essere un motore di crescita della comunità.

How much time do you need to complete the ethics form for a study in your institute/uni? Asking because I recently changed university, and there seem to be drastic differences.

This is about the time you spend on it as a researcher, not how long it takes until you get a response.

Buying a new car in 2024 is a goddamn privacy nightmare, part 3591 of an endless series: https://sherwood.news/tech/how-to-opt-out-of-the-privacy-nightmare-that-comes-factory-installed-in-new/

Science is a collective endeavor advanced through adversarial processes like peer review. So I am grateful to Kenneth & the *45 people* who constitute the advisory board, editors, and staff. This work is rarely acknowledged and almost never funded explicitly, yet it's collectively advancing the state of the art.

If I receive tenure after I submit my materials in the fall of 2025, I will have thousands of scholars to thank — and I look forward to passing the favor on to the next generation.

UK surgeon who described Gaza ‘massacre’ denied entry to France. Ghassan Abu-Sitta, who was due to speak in French senate, is told Germany has enforced Schengen-wide entry ban.

During the months of October and November 2023 at the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza [...] he described witnessing a “massacre unfold” in Gaza and the use of white phosphorus munitions, which Israel has denied. He has also provided evidence to Scotland Yard.

This is unprecedented. Brown University strikes a deal with its students to end their peaceful protest & encampment, in exchange for a formal divestment vote from Israeli interests. And no student will be punished for protesting. This is democracy at work.

“How do you accidentally run for President of Iceland? | by Anna Andersen”

Glad somebody wrote about this because it’s an objectively hilarious UX case study

An investigation found 36 Facebook groups posing as separate grassroots movements opposing the expansion of London's ultra-low emission zone schemes to reduce air pollution. They were set up by the Conservatives as part of a coordinated political campaign.
