Look back in wonder

I've been speaking and writing lately about how tech companies try to shift the discussion on misinformation polarization, etc., away from the systems and structures that are inherently toxic and toward questions of individual behavior.

This way they can blame their own users for the any pathology and steer clear of calls for systemic change.

Today Elon Musk has come through with a perfect illustration for my future talks.

I want to publicly apologize to Twitter for breaking its long-standing API rule of _______.

The foundation of a good syntactic parser is a good morphological lexicon.

Kann Algorithmizität als Kultur des Verstehens dienen? Dieser Frage sind wir bei einer Tagung im Juni 2022 nachgegangen. Auf unserem Blog denkt Manuel Burghardt jetzt noch einmal intensiv darüber nach, ob der Begriff der "Algorithmizität" nicht doch bloß eine leere Worthülse ist:

Petite #introduction : les #AnnalesHSS sont une #revue d'histoire et sciences sociales, fondée en 1929 par Marc Bloch et Lucien Febvre, et en constante réinvention depuis pour publier et susciter des recherches historiques alliant problématiques nouvelles, réflexion méthodologique et explorations documentaires. Nous publions nos articles à la fois en français et anglais.

We’re hosting the 2023 conference of the International Society for #Media, #Religion and #Culture. This year’s theme is “Metaphor & Misinformation: Religion in Media-Driven Worlds”. The deadline has been extended until Jan 28, so there’s still time to submit your papers. We look forward to seeing you all in Bochum! #CfP https://www.ismrc.org/conferences/2023-conference/ #tw

Having now spent a bit of time examining this book, I venture to say that it illustrates everything that's problematic about the "De Roucy Hours," and in a much more blatant and massive fashion. The RECEPTIO method (at least as showcased in recent publications) is remarkably consistent, whether applied to medieval books of hours, early modern poetry, or the history of the Shoah. In particular, it seems to dictate the heavy use of online sources as well as their near-total non-acknowledgment in an attempt to aggrandize one's own originality.

If the International Philological Society existed, it would have to sue RECEPTIO for defaming the idea of philology.

Most of Infocom's early Macintosh ports displayed a full-screen "Infocom" logo as you booted the floppy disk, but "Zork I" had this amazing custom startup screen instead.

Always fun to do interviews in French! Listen to me explain the German position on tank deliveries to the Suisse radio RTS.

The NFDI consortium Text+ is funding a new project at @ZPD in 2023. The topic is digital magazines from the home computer scene of the 1980s and 1990s that were published exclusively on floppy disk - so-called "diskmags". The goals of the project are to create an international catalog as well as a representative text corpus.
Applicant and project leader is @toroe . Recently the slides of the presentation at the TEI Conference 2022 in Newcastle have been published online.

There’s been speculation that this might be a test to see if absence of third-party #Twitter apps affects engagement. But it doesn’t matter anymore. We’re watching the developers react in real-time on a competing platform. Their trust in Twitter is gone. Their customers’ trust in Twitter is gone. And they’re more loyal to the developers than they ever were to Twitter. API usage could have been a feature of Blue. But now people are lining up to pay for #Ivory, #Mammoth, #Mona, etc.—not Twitter.
