I am on the editorial team for Opensource.com over on and have a writer's prompt...

International Women’s Day is coming up.

- What women have inspired your career in tech?
- What books by women technologists would you recommend?

This would look something like the 2020 Opensource.com summer reading list.

Thanks in advance.

AI is artificial, but it is certainly not intelligence. Use it with care.

It's just making stuff up with a faint whiff of accuracy and a whole heap of self-assured confidence in its responses.

Much like your average social media user.

Opportunities to see if experimental #Marburg vaccines & drugs actually work are few & far between. The current outbreak in Equatorial Guinea could provide one such chance. But there aren't huge quantities of things to test, a WHO-led meeting heard today. Developers trying to scrounge up Marburg vax doses to test were just weeks ago scrambling to do the same for #Ebola Sudan vaccines to trial in Uganda's since-ended outbreak. There's got to be a better way. https://www.statnews.com/2023/02/14/marburg-outbreak-race-to-test-vaccines-drugs/

do I know any #arabic #linguists or #SLP folks on here? I'm looking for something like the EVT-3 to determine vocabulary scores for TD Arabic-speaking kids for a grant that I'm writing, and my very brief google search didn't come up with anything.

Not completely new to the #fediverse, but newly moved to this server: Here is the founding initiative for a @digitalcourage student chapter in #leipzig. If you also believe that #digitalautonomy and #privacy is not achieved through waiting and watching, then follow this account and stay in touch. So that we can hopefully meet in person soon and make #digitalpolitics.

Say hi to my first “search engine.”

Our #Uvalde locks feature is prompting some of the liveliest debate we've seen in our mentions since joining Mastodon, but we appreciate reading everyone's feedback ... and that the discussion tends to remain polite around here, even on heated issues. https://www.texasobserver.org/uvalde-locks-security-missing-keys/

As usual, she does not mince words...

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg said in an op-ed published Monday that the world’s leaders are not even “moving in the right direction” on addressing the growing climate crisis.

Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Thunberg, 20, said that financial resources need to be aggressively poured into “solutions, adaptations, and restorations” to address climate change, but that the funds are currently “going elsewhere.”

“The often-used argument that ‘we don’t have enough money’ has been disproven so many times,” Thunberg wrote. “According to the International Monetary Fund, the production and burning of coal, oil and fossil gas was subsidized by $5.9 trillion in 2020 alone. That is $11 million every minute, earmarked for planetary destruction.”

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world launched unprecedented financial rescue packages. These recovery plans were seen as a huge opportunity to set humanity on a brand-new course for a more sustainable economic paradigm. They were called ‘our last chance to avert a climate disaster,’ as the enormous size of the investments would make it impossible for us to undo their consequences in the future if we got that funding even slightly wrong,” she said.

But, according to the International Energy Agency, only 2 percent of those massive financial aid packages went toward green energy, Thunberg said

“Our leaders completely failed,” she wrote.

“And they continue to fail; despite all the beautiful words and pledges, they are not moving in the right direction. In fact, we are still expanding fossil fuel infrastructure all over the world. In many cases, we are even speeding up the process. China is planning to build 43 new coal power plants on top of the 1,000 plants already in operation. In the U.S., approvals for companies to drill for oil and fossil methane gas are on schedule to reach their highest level since the presidency of George W. Bush,” she wrote.

I have made myself promise to stay out of US politics on Twitter, but as someone close to this topic, I am going to hop in once to say it is unbelievably fucked up that someone would have to go through a mass shooting twice in a decade just because she wants an education.
