What's the deal with baby boys clothes and tractors? Why does every other shirt depict one? Is this some kind of secret agribusiness agenda? A political push towards farming values? Please explain.

A small collective of tech activists in Italy sanctioned as global terrorists by the US just for providing an alternative to their big tech bullshit. This is just so wrong and a huge attack on basic free speech. Surely the US admin has better things to do? Piena solidarietà a Autistici/Inventati ✊

Were technology podcasts of the past really as singular in their focus as they are now on AI? (It's all I hear about) For example, was literally every episode from like 1878-1880 about the invention of the light bulb? Were people like, omg I'm so tired of hearing about this!!!! ???

In times of rapid change we need organizations like Open Knowledge Belgium to stress the importance of openness. We’re looking for new volunteers to join the board. Treasurer, secretary, project funding, IT person, advocacy… there’s plenty to help with. Interested? Let me know! openknowledge.be

So many of the norms underlying academic culture relied on frictions associated with writing. It was entirely predictable that academia would be profoundly harmed when a machine came along to remove those frictions by making (insincere, inaccurate) communication effortless.

@sarapetti.bsky.social is being so genuine: "a lot of things did not make sense in the initial phase of ODE, and the feedback from users and communities was absolutely crucial." For example, people were scared of the metadata section (which is not hard to believe eheh) #csvconf #csvconfv9

"The app logic can help with data literacy" - I really like this, because it shows once again that a technical solution without a framework around it that makes sense and it's capable of answering questions and meeting users needs - is worth ZERO. @sarapetti.bsky.social at #csvconf #csvconfv9
