Faccio esercizio di immedesimazione verso un #obiettoredicoscienza ucraino che avrebbe preferito vivere, ma si ritrova a subire:

- Il regionalismo filorusso nel Donbass che destabilizza una regione

- Il nazionalismo ucraino del suo governo che reagisce col pugno di ferro gettando benzina sul fuoco

- L'imperialismo russo che sciacalla su tutto questo per buttargli le bombe in testa

- L'occidente alantico che difende tanti diritti tranne i suoi

- La polizia militare che lo sbatte in galera

L’Italia è l’unico Paese al mondo che non rende nota la lista delle armi fornite all’Ucraina, segreti di pulcinella che poi dall’Ucraina vengono svelato e arrivano in Italia 👇Trasparenza sarebbe doverosa verso il contribuente ma di sicuro mi sbaglio

La colpa è di chi chiede pace non di chi schiuma rabbia immaginando di vincere una guerra senza fine.
La mia solidarietà alle vittime civili, il mio disprezzo per i signori della guerra contano poco. Se quei morti vogliamo rispettarli e non contarne altri: Chiediamo pace

Suicide mention 

Ten years ago, #AaronSwartz died by suicide following a prolonged and relentless crusade by the U.S. judiciary to prosecute him for allegedly downloading academic articles.

After his death, @freedomofpress took over maintenance of the open source whistleblower submission platform he had been developing, now called SecureDrop, hoping to get news orgs to adopt it. It's now used by dozens of news outlets worldwide.

Thank you, Aaron. ❤️ We are honored to carry on your legacy.

#12gennaio allarme Usa sull’incompatibilità tra armare Ucraina e le proprie truppe. Colpa dell’industria bellica che non investe per produrre di più nonostante il business garantito per i prossimi anni.
Che affare è la guerra!

L'11 gennaio 2013 diventava insopportabile per Aaron Swartz il peso dell'oppressione e della persecuzione subita per aver immaginato e praticato con un decennio di anticipo quella che oggi chiamiamo #OpenScience.

L'amico @berny ha curato nel 2015 un volume open content al quale ho contribuito con la Postfazione.

E' una raccolta di traduzioni di testi di Aaron con contributi di autori italiani. Buona lettura!

These two pieces in #Nature blissfully pass aside several decades of philosophy and sociology of science on the nature of the present crisis (pardon, on why science is no longer 'disruptive' [sic])

Here's a good article on the #ALLEA recommendations (above).
sciencebusiness.net/news/europ

Quoting Bernt Hugenholtz: "These publishers basically disseminate content that is either completely ready for publication or near-ready for publication…We are moving in the right direction with #openaccess but we have to solve this remuneration problem or, more radically, abandon cooperation with publishers if they are going to keep asking such outrageous publication fees.”

Indeed, there does seem to be some consensus slowly building:

"This confluence of ideas suggests that there is a growing consensus that the traditional framework of scholarly publishing is not well-suited to solve the needs of scholarly communication in our current environment"

doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6948199

The propose a very attractive perspective that chimes with a lot of recent ideas and proposals: scholarly records management
