Feel free to boost this poll, but I'm wondering how many people do where they respond to a notification by using win+shift+V on the PC or holding on it on the phone, and taking action on it that way, is this more just a thing that sighted people do? Most of my friends don't do this but I hear a lot of people on YouTube doing this.
I used to think publishing in #Elsevier journals like #Cell was a sign of #scientific prestige. Now I see them more and more as stains in my CV. The extent of the ties between Elsevier and the #climate wrecking #FossilFuel industry is truly deplorable:
#Climate #OpenScience #ScienceMastodon #Publishing #ClimateCrisis #Greenwashing
In case you don’t believe the same equations govern #motion in the #atmosphere and the #ocean.

Ready for #pride! I'm playing a shaker with the Sambanistas and we are group 99 just behind the volunteers of #prideParade.
Remember how IBM Watson, the computer that beat a human in Jeopardy!, was supposed to revolutionize medicine? Did you know it is being sold off for parts?
“If you think about it… the notion that you’re going to take an artificial intelligence tool, expose it to data on patients who were cared for on the upper east side of Manhattan, and then use that information and the insights derived from it to treat patients in China, is ridiculous.”

@Sheril Alt text: Image of hourglass:
Each grain of sand in this visualization
represents 10 million people.
[Top of hourglass] 140 million children are born every year. 14 grains of sand enter the hourglass.
You are here. These 795 grains represent the 7.95 billion people who are alive today.
[Bottom of hourglass] 60 million people die every year. 6 grains of sand pass through the hourglass.
About 109 billion people have lived and died. 10.900 grains of sand.

More new signage in the largest bike parking in the world. At the entrances it is now indicated which lane to choose for which floor and there are signs for merging traffic and the exits. And to make sure what kind of parking it is, they even painted bicycles on the floor 🤣🤣
#ScientistRebellion has published an open letter on the implausibility of maintaining average global temperatures below 1.5°C of warming given our current trajectories (heading for more than +3°C).
https://signon.scientistrebellion.com/
If this letter gathers more than 500 signatories from the scientific community, it will be "placed by Scientist Rebellion in a journal or mainstream news outlet ahead of COP27."
Help raise awareness about the gravity of the situation.
Apple is now going to be selling your data through a rebooted Apple Ads 😔

For those of you still following us, we would like to express our solidarity with #dropkiwifarms.
In 2019 they disrupted the #glimpse Matrix channel, then they targeted individual contributors, some of whom are still hiding and/or have threads on them today.
Outside of our own project, Kiwi Farms has driven their political enemies from their homes, off the Internet, and in some cases to suicide. We will all be safer when that website is finally gone.

Just had a look at #Gitea and they don't even use Gitea! They use GitHub!! The screenshot on their homepage looks like GitHub with the icon switched. What's the point?
The cost of cars is very high and our governments pump billions of dollars making people buy and maintain these expensive machines.

First Nations Greens senator Lidia Thorpe calls Queen Elizabeth II “coloniser” during oath of allegiance.

I am into science and climate activism. I love to learn about social issues and to challenge my own perspectives. I'm also into free and open-source software and I am back in University studying computer science.
