Besides job description, salary, working hours, hybrid settings, info about the workplace... job applications should state whether the company uses #outlook or not, being this last item the most decisive one to apply or not for the post.

Proud to hear @tunubesecamirio being mentioned at #mozfest main event! You guys are doing amazing

Excited to join tomorrow my first #mozfest ever! Please, reach out if you're planning to attend or if you have any useful #tips for newbies (to the event, not to #mozilla) like me.

En un proyecto europeo la misma dedicación horaria de un investigador radicado en Alemania o Inglaterra cuesta el DOBLE de lo que cuesta un investigador con sede en España. El secreto a voces de la ciencia en nuestro país es que hacemos ciencia de frontera a precio de los años 90.

I joined @bonfire #openscience sandbox and I started to write about my experience there (and so far, I'm loving what I'm seeing): https://sandbox.openscience.network/pub/objects/01K88AEH2D7ZB3N9H7C3SJDQEA #fediverse #bonfire #academics

Are you interested in #maps and in how underrepresented demographics are represented? Have you ever considered that maps are not #inclusive enough and might not be working for everyone (and maybe for you)? We have prepared a series of 3 workshops to design and build alternative maps based on […]

Happy to share my last #academic paper, published on New Media & Society and authored with Nate Tkacz and Fangzhou Zhang about our #research on #twittermigration #Xodus Eventful migration: Rethinking social media migration with help from Elon Musk’s sink […] [Original post on scholar.social]

Do you know of any #feminist contributing guide like the ones seen on #github? I'm looking for a good template to incorporate to a project, so any #help would be appreciated

Yesterday, @BBCRadio4 spent the first 16' of their #6oclocknews to "cover" what a fascist politician in the opposition said about #migrants (spoiler: nothing good). This is how fascism is winning. By coopting public media to broadcast their messages and normalising their narratives and their […]

Pleased to announce that my book, Move Slowly and Build Bridges: Mastodon, the Fediverse, and the Struggle for Democratic Social Media, is now available online, and will be out in print in a couple weeks! https://moveslowlybuildbridges.com That site has more stuff, too -- links to related […]

Muy entristecido al saber de la defunción de @osfa_2030 , que estaba posteando incansablemente hasta hace, literalmente, dos días. El fediverso, y el mundo en general están hoy un poco más huérfanos sin ti. https://www.coasevilla.org/Noticia.aspx?id=24131

Over 3 years we opened Cultural Anthropology to Spanish submissions. In this time, we received ZERO manuscripts from native English speakers whose fieldwork is based in Spanish-speaking countries. Food for thinking about epistemic geographic inequalities...

Farewell, Pepe Mujica. You will be missed.

I've been using @delta for some months and I'm totally in love with it. The concept of using emails as chats is equally simple and powerful. And I love the fact that it just works as we are used to in other #im apps, but without being locked to a platform, and having true encryption. The […]

What's going on with #fosstodon?

News item: New report launch: Paying the costs of connection – Human rights of young adults in the digital age in Colombia, Ghana, Kenya and Vietnam https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/news/?newsItem=8ac672c4968627fc019686fcaaac05ee

Amazing thing about this type of news to me is that it appears that theyre bumbling along with absolutely no idea, fucking things up in unexpected ways, rolling them back, all with very little plan, and this somehow gets presented in some quarters as evidence of how *innovative* and what […]

New release of #FediAlgo (customizable algorithm for you #Mastodon timeline) has a couple of cool features: 1. Configuration presets (so you can easily put discussions or trending toots at the top of your #timeline without fiddling with the individual […] [Original post on universeodon.com]

We define the CoolWalkability metric C(t), which measures the potential for shaded walks. We visualize this in the diurnal Coolwalkability profile, showing for Manhattan two dips: the typical "Manhattanhenges" for grid-like street networks.

Esto que dice Webb Keane en su último libro se ha dicho muchas veces antes. Pero Keane lo resume de manera elegante en pocas líneas.

La cobardía con que Columbia o Harvard se han plegado a las demandas de Trump ha abierto un debate impostergable sobre el servilismo mercenario y privatizador de la educación superior. Conviene tomar nota ahora que nuestra propia universidad está en juego www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Looking at how #llm are promoted by their fans, I've come to the conclusion: Pretty much everyone from a #stem background - myself definitely included! - owes the #humanities a huge apology. I mean, I get it. When I was a young student of physics, it was easy for me to sneer at philosophy […]

OMG! 7 years already since I successfully defended my PhD! #anniversary

Oh, the #Irony of #OpenAI complaining about stealing intellectual property. To that, there is a Spanish proverb which would translate as, ‘They who robs a robber earns a hundred years' remission.’ Seen at : @ft.com#irony#openaihttps://www.ft.com/content/a0dfedd1-5255-4fa9-8ccc-1fe01de87ea6 #ai #deepseek

Much of what has been published about #deepseek is to flag how biased it is and how aligned with China's government their responses are about controversial topics. The same could be said about #chatptg #gemini #metaAI except it is easy to spot when the […] [Original post on scholar.social]
