EU are calling for more Defence spend because they say that since 2001 #EU has increased spending by just 22%, #US 66% Russia 292% and #China by 600% - This is Disinformation. Reality is EU now spends 3 times more than Russia + #US spend more than next 9 countries put together...

Two principles currently govern the work of the digital humanities: open access and open source.
COVE (Collaborative Organization for Virtual Education, covecollective.org, subscribes to both principles: supporting an open-access publication platform, COVE Editions, and using and modifying open-source tools.

Like all countries, #Iran has many challenges - Foreign Interference designed to bring about Regime Change will do nothing for the people of Iran. Let them sort their own problems...
RT @s_m_marandi: Many millions of anti-American protestors came to the streets in cities across Iran today. You won't see this in the western media. You will also not hear that western & Saudi backed rioters & thugs murdered a 40 year old man yesterday…

199,430 is the number of new users across different Mastodon servers since October 27, along with 437 new servers. This bring last day's total to 608,837 active users, which is without precedent the highest it's ever been for Mastodon and the fediverse.

Love the fact that organisations can take ownership of their social media conmunications with a #mastodon server while simultaneously interfacing very conveniently with the rest of the world via the #fediverse. A great model.

Some #fediverse #mastodon servers popping up more than others (beyond the main, large ones), not surprisingly given my interests:

https://drosophila.social for scientists working with the vinegar fly, #Drosophila, the genetic model organism par excellence.

https://fosstodon.org for FOSS: free open source software developers.

https://mathtodon.xyz for mathematics and physics. Famously @johncarlosbaez is hosted there.

https://scicomm.xyz for scientific communications, public outreach.

https://photog.social/ for photography, "3-5 photo posts per day recommended to avoid overloading the timeline" and no-nonsense.

Anyone familiar with the Mastadon Android app and how one might be able to get the browse functions to work?

Is it true that in Belgium you don't recycle aluminium? That sounds absurd to me...

We have been informed of an apparently targeted attack via a Google ad, trying to lure people looking for GIMP to a malicious download.
See https://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/ygbr4o/dangerous_google_ad_disguising_itself_as/

The users are taken to a site that has copied the look of https://gimp.org, but the downloads are different.

The GIMP team does not make use of ads on Google or elsewhere.
