This is the dumbest thing I have ever read. How can you possibly think the point is about enjoying content or not? I have myself enjoyed things that I later on discovered were 100% AI written. Point is: my view of those creators is ruined and I cannot trust them, no matter how much I try or want to.

The only way to close off this long, rich thread is with a picture of my #OpenData friends in Italy! @dennisangemi.bsky.social @aborruso.bsky.social @mcx83.bsky.social @puntofisso.bsky.social @ingmmo.bsky.social @matteofortini.bsky.social @giorgialodi.bsky.social Thank you, #csvconf ❤️‍🔥

We're done! Those little straws in the middle? Those are trees! Five colors, five species! Each ball is 5% and overall we're showing percentages of planted trees in Boston I forgot when! Making data sculptures is fun! #csvconf #csvconfv19

Back at track 2, my energy is going down but I'm hanging in here! This is going to be about developing governance tools bottom-up and enabling capacity for collective action. #cvsconf #csvconfv9

After the coffee break, we'll meet for data tables! I suggested one around building communities. Here's proof of me writing it down :) The question spinning in my head is - are values enough? Hope to see you there! #csvconf #csvconfv9

This picture seems like a perfect wrap-up to the keynote by @aborruso.bsky.social and @giorgialodi.bsky.social at #csvconf #csvconfv9. Keep communities inside and shift the focus back to people! The rest will come.

I feel this a lot. And it taps back to a lot that has been discussed in the last two days here at @csvconf.bsky.social. Technology cannot be enough. Machine to machine cannot be enough. Never. #csvconf #csvconfv9

What'happening to research in the USA is undermining scientific integrity, restricting academic freedom, and putting people's future and entire communities at stake. It's time to #DefendResearch, and I choose to show my support with this picture of me: a small action, but an action nevertheless.

Two years ago, I was giving a presentation about #OpenScience and alternative ways to produce knowledge for a better future. Today it's clearer than ever before: science needs democracy to flourish, and where democracy fails, acts of resistance will arise. #Research #OpenKnowledge
Science is a big, fundamental,
democratic matter.
It needs to find back its values,
reaffirm its objectives, and
design ethical spaces in which
flourish and serve society.

Sure, we needed Elsevier to do research for us and tell us that current metrics are flawed. Of course. PS: make sure to "sign up" to read the full report or download a preview of key insights - which one is it, Elsevier? 🤡 #OpenScience #AcademicSky #SciComm beta.elsevier.com/academic-and...
51% of 400+ surveyed academic leaders, funders and researchers acknowledged a major gap in current research evaluation methods, including more acknowledgement of real-world impact.

#OpenAccess week is close: 23rd to 29th October 2023. The official website says: "This year's theme is an invitation to collaborate". I hope it'll be an invitation to reflect, first and foremost.

🍬 Una volta pubblicato il feed, si può condividere attraverso un link, potete fare il pin sulla vostra homepage, e vedere un po' come si comporta - io ho fatto il primo tentativo per #OpenData a conto di @ondatait.bsky.social e il feed è questo qui: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Se, come dicevo prima, vi piace JSON, cliccate sull'editore JSON, e guardate il feed in questo modo (immagine 1 qui sotto). Quando avete finito, siete pronti a pubblicare il feed (immagine 2 qui sotto): potete aggiungere una descrizione, e selezionare una licenza (io direi aperta, ovviamente :))

> il valore default qui è by Creation Date (descending): dal piu recente, al piu vecchio - e anche in questo caso credo abbia molto senso lasciare questo valore. Se per sbaglio avete rimosso un blocco, e lo volete reinserire, basta cliccare sul bottone "+Add Block".

✅ Vi ritroverete qualcosa come l'immagine qui sotto. La schermata che vedete è un editore visuale molto intuitivo - se amate JSON e vi sentite abbastanza "confident", potete cliccare su "Switch to JSON editor" (segue pezzettino in un altro post). I blocchi del feed, by default, sono quattro.

✅ Una volta effettuato l'accesso su SkyFeed, basta selezionare il Feed Builder (screenshot in questo post) e da lì, "Create your first feed". Nel prossimo post il feed "Hello World" che SkyFeed ha preparato per voi e che potete usare come template.

Eheh loved that book. It has shaped my mind in an incredible and surprising way. Here's a picture to witness it 😉
A bunch of books I love. Data Feminism is the one I talk about in the post.

Oggi sono qui, alla Harnack-Haus della Max Planck Society, a parlare di open science, ma soprattutto del mio viaggio personale cercando il mio spazio dentro e fuori la ricerca. Chi mi conosce sa, che alla fine questo spazio è in continuo divenire e ha poco di "tradizionale". >
