Hello every academic publisher
No I don't want to view the PDF through your advanced or enhanced viewer or whatever
Just make the download PDF button big and visible and don't make it do anything surprising thanks
@researchfairy But then they can’t monitor how many people read it and which pages they read and how long they have it open and prevent them from stealing (sorry they meant printing or sharing) it and
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DEMOCRATISATION OF KNOWLEDGE THE INTERNET PROMISED US???
The top image was broadcast as a JOKE on French TV in 2014.
The lower image is a REAL weather report from June this year.
The climate crisis is not waiting for the future. We must END fossil fuels, now.
I don't have great names for them, but 5 "ocean" continents and 5 "land" subcontinents.
Basically:
North America (new name welcomed)
South America (ditto)
Africa
Australia
Antarctica
then split the Eurasian subcontinent along major watershed lines.
Europe: (N of Caucuses, W. of Urals Include Volga but not Ural watershed)
Siberia: (any watershed that empties into Arctic Ocean, Okhost, or Bearing Sea. Insular watersheds in "stans" area TBD)
Desh (S. Asia, other new name): Indus watershed to the NW, all watersheds that empty into Bay of Bengal
Asia-Pacific (new name welcomed): All watersheds that empty to Pacific, Andaman Sea, China seas)
"Original/Old Asia" (new name welcomed): Basically everything that's left. W. of Indus watershed, E. of Suez, Caspian and Aral watersheds exc. European Volga-to-Caucuses strip)
@jhv I think years ago you asked why I was playing with watershed maps, this is it.
Just watched the intro video of the fully redesigned Audacity, and haven't played with it yet, but it does look pretty nice on the surface. Anyone have a link to a current write up about why this new update is actually super bad?

@liaizon short version: software was purchased by corporation who shoved a bunch of telemetry in and will continue to do so, probably.
@uferrandzonengewaechs genau mein gedanke
Diese 60er-Jahre-Ästhetik lässt mich mit vielen Fragen zurück.
@pankowerpflanze.de Mit Willy Brandt hat es Anfang der 60er in Westberlin doch auch geklappt. Auf Erfolgen aufbauen.
@BRMiller YES. What the heck? “Berm”?? “Tree lawn”???
Yeah, they had some weird words to choose from.
OTOH my paternal grandmother became "Miss Ellie" once Dallas hit the airwaves.
How might studying AI (or with it) teach us enduring lessons about human psychology?
Come hang out with us for a day in Philadelphia at the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP) to explore this question together.
Where you see plagiarism I see a harmless photo edit to make a politically salient point.
If someone were to do the same thing with one of all the independent artists I follow I would be pissed. But this is just a bloody mass produced commercial.

@alvekatt.bsky.social @avadeaux.bsky.social @mrundkvist This is not how plagiarism works. It's not okay with some works you don't like or don't know and not okay with works you respect or like.
And what do you call "bloody mass produced commercial"??? The movie? It's a movie, not a commercial and it may be one of the most "independent artist" movies around.
Anyway solution for 1Password problem is straightforward
- Patch ChiPass (no-AI fork of KeePassXC) to support VaultWarden syncing protocol
- Develop a socioeconomic system capable of supporting a team of 3-5 people to do ongoing security response, UI design and multiplatform mobile app development without ruining literally everything in a quest for ever-expanding growth and illusory short-term efficiencies
- Apply said functioning socioeconomic system to ChiPass
who up despairing about their employability in an industry they find abhorrently revolting
despite an early all-consuming passion for the machines and their fascinating puzzle-like abstractions
and contained within them the potential for good and connection and community-building
and a compulsion to increase your symbiosis with them
there are so many of us
we are not the industry
i bet we rival whole cities in population
there has got to be a way to concentrate our collective will
Yall ever look in the mirror and wonder where your youth went?
@Gina Don't worry, a few more years and you can't remember anymore.
@MichaelTBacon I agree, it's hard for me to get excited about different projections because they're all a compromise. Kids should be educated with actual globes and 3D digital models
@sidereal Yeah, the thing I jump up and down about when I teach GIS (sniff) is that all projections are compromises, and the "right" one depends on your use case.
But Mercator for global maps in educational environments is pretty much a bad choice.
