Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.
Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.
Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

The Swiss: quietly keeping it white for more than 800 years.
Of course, the #nanopublications #hackathon at #PSE8 has its own space in the nanopublication network, all built using nanopublications.
A handy chart into right wing ideology:
🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻 = normal society
🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏿 = slippery slope
🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏿🧑🏿 = white genocide
The slides are up for the #nanopublications session at the #PSE8 #hackathon today:
Making Errors and Uncertainty FAIR: A Nanopublications Hackathon for Machine-Actionable Scientific Error Reporting. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18627181
Assuming that the conference "Perspectives on Scientific Error" 2026 (also known as PSE8)
https://perspectivesonscientificerror2026.wordpress.com/
has the #hashtag #PSE8, I am happy to report that it now also has a presence in the #nanopublications ecosystem at https://w3id.org/spaces/PSE8
In preperation for the nanopublications hackathon om 2026-02-13, we are going to use that space to experiment with the use of nanopublications for conference microblogging.

On the way to #PSE8 this morning, I saw a Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) and recorded it as an observation on #inaturalist . This could be seen as an assertion of the type <observer><observed><bird>
<timestamp><location><observation identifier>, much like in #nanopublications.

I don't know. Have you been part of a software development team consisting of dozens of people for the last seven years?
@juergen_hubert
No, I do systems and network administration mostly. My own private project doesn't count in your book, even though it's fairly complex. So maybe you won't accept that my eyes are working.
But there are plenty of people online who have no affiliation with any of the AI companies who have and who tell you, here and now, they don't write code any more, but let the AI's do it.
But they all don't count, somehow.
I am not a fan of #TikTok, but I vehemently oppose the @EUCommission dictating “design” to social media apps. This is silly!
👉🏾 The EU moves to kill infinite scrolling https://www.politico.eu/article/tiktok-meta-facebook-instagram-brussels-kill-infinite-scrolling/
@darnell @EUCommission it's an attempt to minimize dark, addictive patterns.
We all know, companies like Amazon, Mata, etc... have highly paid mathematicians, psychologists, ... which “optimize” the apps and UIs so users get addicted, spend more time etc...
They trigger subconscious Mechanisms which are even in our DNA, which not even the most educated people are immune against. Its pure perversion of the capitalism to get rich at the expense of others by such measures.
If these companies do not act ethical, one must force em!
TIL about ncdu, a command line utility for checking disk usage that allows browsing folders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncdu This is great for me, as I always had to look up du parameters again and again when checking disk usage. HT @dr0i #cli

“People tell chatbots about their medical fears, their relationship problems, their beliefs about God and the afterlife.
Advertising built on that archive creates a potential for manipulating users in ways we don’t have the tools to understand, let alone prevent.”

C'è qualcunə che studia le #lingue da autodidatta?
Mastico un po' di giapponese e mi piacerebbe approfondirlo. Ho preso tante lezioni private da una 先生 della mia città, ma ho perso un po' di stimolo per via di un metodo didattico (per me) poco stimolante. Vorrei un parere di fattibilità, non necessariamente sul giapponese ma sullo studio individuale di una lingua 😅
@yumenaut Francese.
Se sai l'inglese, per il giapponese c'è una tonnellata di risorse che ai miei tempi mi sognavo. Diciamo che la possibilità di impararlo da soli è più concreta che mai prima d'ora, ma serve costanza.
🌹 Heute jährt sich der Anschlag auf die ver.di-Demonstration von Streikenden in der Tarifauseinandersetzung für den öffentlichen Dienst von Bund und Kommunen.
Ein Attentäter nutzte sein Auto als Waffe und fuhr mitten in München gezielt in den Demonstrationszug. Zwei Menschen wurden getötet, zahlreiche Kolleg*innen zum Teil schwer verletzt.

@jaranta yeah, when I looked at the Masto.host status page yesterday everything was green - while scholar seemed quite broken, particular notifications seemed to not work at all

comment from bunjywunjy on tumblr:
this is actually HILARIOUS because both domestic rabbits and domestic cats practice dominance-related social grooming but for wildly different reasons.
if you're a rabbit, the boss rabbit is the one who gets groomed by its subordinate rabbits.
but if you're a cat... the boss cat is the one that grooms the other cats.
BOTH these idiots are going "aw yeah, it's good to be on top >:)" #cute #bunny #cats
Someone might want to help you that much. Not out of any sense of obligation, or due to gender roles, but just because they want to help you be successful. But this would require a foundation of mutual respect something that is hard to build when your starting point is "I want a trad wife" and "all these women are hoes."
Whenever I read "trad wife", in my mind it reads "kitchen bot". I cannot take people seriously who find kitchen bots attractive.
