Accessibility is a shared responsibility across scholarly communications; everyone needs to ensure that it is embedded in their workflows and that resources meet the needs of disabled users #CopimConference

Still a huge queue of Harry Potter fans at Kings Cross posing with wands by the platform 9 3/4 sign!

This is what I think about when people say we need to give people "AI literacy". How do you AI literacy out of this exactly? This shows how absurd the concept is, this is what the goal of AI is for every worker.

As a PhD student studying open access and then an OA librarian I have been v disillusioned with the whole project but the work produced by Copim over the last few years has really provided something to enage with again #CopimConference

Excellent keynote by Siddharth Soni linking the colonialism of genAI to the colonialism of knowledge production now and throughout history #CopimConference

Mattermost and Nextcloud FTW. Open source infrastructure is the best infrastructure. #CopimConference

Rupert Gatti @rupertgatti.bsky.social giving the closing remarks on the trials of trying to persuade IT departments that Copim didn't want to use MS Teams

So pleased to see Siddarth Soni referencing Brian Friel in his discussion of the commons and data colonialism. Absolutely fascinating keynote at #CopimConference

Love to hear @radishpress.bsky.social talk about scholarled publishing & enthusiasm for radical wealth distrubution and taking money off billionaires to fund small presses

Second day of the #copimconference and it was nice to see the daffodils and all the kids cycling to school through the Olympic Park

Interesting first day at the @copim.bsky.social conference, hearing about all things diamond OA books - thanks team!

If you’re at #CopimConference, don’t forget to pick up one of our new stickers! 💎💎💎

Bonnie is into the new CBeebies show, Rafi the Wishing Wizard, which has great queer parent rep in that Rafi's gay dad lives in Manchester and wants to finish his fancy coffee and book in peace

Dedicated watchers of 'How to get to Heaven from Belfast' over the last few days. So good!

Why oh why am I trying to explaim the plot of Les Miserables to 7yo at bedtime?

the fish and chip shop in my parents' village is closing! devastating times

The main things that stuck with me from my GCSE history was how people used to do this to their neighbours in Nazi Germany. My history teacher really hammered it home that this is how a fascist state was upheld & I've always remembered it when I see a hotline for reporting people here. Pure evil.

“Making Innovative Collaborations with Alison Buxton feat. @emilyennis.bsky.social”, the latest episode of #CrippingRearchCulture, is now out! open.spotify.com/episode/4EQW... Transcript: shef.ac.uk/ihuman/waarc/cripping-research-culture-podcast

In the latest in a string of privacy abuses from the chatbot, Grok provided porn performer Siri Dahl's full legal name and birthdate to the public, information she'd protected until now.

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

I think it's really fun how ChatGPT responded to complaints about 4.0 not by making their LLM sound like a neutral, non-sentient tool but instead made it sound like a fully sentient asshole

"Through this special issue, we invite broader discussion on Diamond OA and its future(s), from the highly conceptual to the deeply infrastructural. What is next for Diamond OA as it oscillates between the potential for either a technocratic or community-led and commons-based future?"

Excited to hear I am going to London for the @copim.bsky.social conference next week! 🥰 can't wait to hear about all my favourite kinds of open access in person

Their "student experience" was adversely affected by the pandemic emergency? Everyone's fucking life experience was adversely affected, and millions died. The rhetoric of this being a customer service dispute is offensive.

It's telling that she was prompting chatGPT for her master's thesis research and it went right on ahead into creep mode; she did not set out looking for affirmatio and conspiracy theories.

The suits against universities for changing teaching during the pandemic is such a passive slap in the face to those who taught it. We did our bloody best! I worked hours and hours beyond my contract. I redid an entire curriculum to be online It wasn’t pleasant to me either!!!

Accidentally said a cheery hello to a Reform canvasser - need to look more closely at people when I pass them 😭😭

Turns out I am no longer able to stay up past midnight drinking and then take the kids to giant inflatables in a warehouse with incredibly loud music the next morning and not be broken by 4pm

This is about the level of mine and @tigslater.bsky.social winter-sport watching 🤣

It is fair to say that the Winter Olympics is far and away better than any other sport watching event. Why are there suddenly people skiing with guns? Do we even need to even know why? Is it in case they meet a bear?

Had a confusing conversation with 7yo about not having anyone to send a valentines card to and reassuring them they could send it to anyone they loved. Turns out they had it mixed up with father's day so looks like grandpa and/or great uncle are getting the valentines card

The morning so far

Lol yes, so many questions I can't answer, but also don't just frame Gay in terms of marriage when you get asked by your kids...

I can never get into watching the olympics or indeed any sport but we watched the netflix documentary about ice dancers and are now invested in the ice dancing

Watched the Take That documentary on Netflix and learnt that Take That are still a band that exists

Getting very into chunky soup in my old age (39)

www.ft.com/content/d0b7... No thank you.

This reminds me of the good old days of twitter

Netflix thinks I want to watch a man climb a skyscraper without ropes and maybe I do

oh my god fuck off

the evenings are getting lighter! ☀️

with all due respect Ms Perry, calm down

I've got quite a stash of @junobooks.bsky.social vouchers to spend - anyone got any book recommendations for me?

It's my birthday and @tigslater.bsky.social kindly took over the childcare to facilitate me going for a morning cinema trip. Saw Hamnet so now need to watch something jolly 😭😭

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

For some reason I just remembered that when I was a student I went to a debate between the presidents of the christian union and the debating society called 'this house believes that God exists' and how far away from this debate and both these people I would stay these days 🤣
