An invoice catch-up day for recent book #indexing jobs on:
– early American literature in British print
– the British adult film industry
– orchestral conductors and
– information management from prehistory to present.
All great books to read and different challenges to #index. And that’s why I still love being an indexer. ❣️

The unprecedented experiment explores the possibility that space-time somehow emerges from quantum information, even as the work’s interpretation remains disputed.

@pluralistic Without making the image full it looks like a head that has been shot with an arrow.
@Billthoo Nice, great photo.
If you ever capture 4 going across at the same time, would make a good abbey road tribute picture :)

#ArtAdventCalendar
It’s already December on this side of the date line! Wishing everyone an ArtFul month!
Here’s one I took last year. In photography it’s all in the preparation, right? I’d set up my view camera, adjusted, metered, adjusted again, and waited for the decisive moment. And when I looked behind me I saw this… it’s my favourite phone photo 😁

I wonder how many people realise artists are being exploited in the first place.

Why do people act shocked when you tell them you don't have Spotify? Like, am I supposed to apologize for not helping a shitty corporation take advantage of artists, and collect all my personal info?
Maybe it is best to not say anything to them, just block / mute them so they can't use what you say to further their cause / arguments.

Maybe it is a good idea, but the systems are not ready for it yet.
Surely any monetary system needs both regulation and accountability so it can be trusted.

When an American reporter working in El Salvador found out that he and his colleagues were being surveilled, he feared for his sources’ safety and his own. Now he’s suing in a U.S. court, @ronanfarrow reports.

As it happens this last couple of days I've attended student presentations. In one case the topic is "the language of science" where #students present projects about #science topics important for society. They come up with board games, scorebooks, youtube films, and more amazing stuff, trying to improve the world. Plus, this course is taught jointly between my university in Bordeaux and UF Santa Catarina, in Brazil, which is already awesome.
The other one is an advanced Genetics course at...1/2

Our research has showed that Office 365 already offers problematic features that could be abused to intrusively monitor employees.
Such features much be deployed with adequate safeguards to avoid turning productivity tools into surveillance machines.
