  1. My phone when I tried to restart it last night:

    "Oh hi! We figured power options are so overrated, who really ever needs them anyway right? You know what would be a much better use of that clunky old power button? Opening your brand new A.I. assistant; GEMINI! The one you already opted out of. We took the liberty to opt you back in and created this shortcut for you, you're welcome!"

    - alle 11.30 Morgana Marchesoni di #unimi parleranno dei percorsi di formazione/informazione sull'open science @openscienceUNIMI

    - dalle 12.15 ci saranno alcuni rapidi approfondimenti sull'#OpenAccess e l'#editoria scientifica, fra cui gli #hijacked #journals e gli open #textbook

  7. In all this unpleasant story, I'm most interested in the answer to the question:

    Why does the International #ISSN Centre, which is run by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions #IFLA, permit the registration of the same journal title with two different ISSNs?

    Former Sierra Club Directors on Layoffs, Equity and Environmental Justice

    youtube.com/watch?v=hz7pWjd7a7

    The Sierra Club is one of the oldest and largest environmental groups in the U.S.. It also has a problematic history, from being founded by racist John Muir to members penning the racist "Population Bomb," advocating for population control, to former director Carl Pope promoting corporate greenwashing.

    Earlier this year, politician Ben Jealous became the organization's new executive director and began a process of "restructuring" due to budget deficits. The restructuring led to layoffs that included the equity and environmental justice teams.

    We talk with Hop Hopkins and Michelle Mascarenhas (@MG_MMS), two of the top directors, laid off in the Sierra Club's restructuring about what happened, the impacts on environmental organizing and equity within the non-profit industrial complex.

  9. @TheJewberwocky One thing about #mastodon is that you need to use #hashtags to get into a certain #topic.

    I agree with you that the problem is that they can easily be #hijacked and also become irrelevant. This post will be listed with any posts involving #hijacks or #news.

    One way to join #communities relevant to your interests is to join #instances dedicated to your interests. I joined a #technology #instance, and I am looking for something relevant to #3dprinting because it is the main topic that I publicly discuss on #socialmedia.

    For more specific and isolated #topics and #communities, I use #reddit.

    So I would recommend researching for relevant groups discussing something like #chronicpain and joining their #instances, or maybe just join a #subreddit. Which might not be the answer you are looking for, but #reddit is great for specific and longer posts regarding such topics.
