This decision shows what it means to turn a commitment into institutional change. It also sends an important signal: open research information provides a shared foundation for transparent, reproducible, and inclusive research analytics, sustained by continued investment in the infrastructures that generate and provide it.

Congratulations to @cwts one of the Barcelona Declaration’s initiators! 👏

@tante also why even stop posting in the first place then? nothing’s changed?

Today we announce a next step in our transition to open research information: CWTS will discontinue the use of Web of Science data, both in the Leiden Ranking and in the services that we offer to external organisations.

This step aligns with our work towards open research information, notably in our focal area Information & Openness, the Open Edition of our Leiden Ranking, and the @BarcelonaDORI that we co-initiated.

@pallenberg die Erklärung, wie und warum du mit welchen KIs arbeitest, weil, ich zitiere, „falls gleich wieder die ersten ankommen, uoh, wieder so ein KI Hater…“ (2:09)

Es erscheint mir bei sehr, sehr vielen als ein absolutes entweder pro oder con Game.

@petersuber I'm not sure I understand how it can be both fair use and pirated material at the same time. If you acquire the material and only use it in a means covered by fair use, how is that a violation of the copyright to acquire it?

@dromografos barbarism

I maintain my own "security checklists" I go over before launching an update or a new server component. They grow over time as I record learnings or the exposure surface increases. It's all about configuration e.g. presence of specific tests etc.

This time, I decided to try and save me some time by handing it over to Claude... and Claude said no 😂🙈. Apparently asking it do validate stuff in my own project from a list of points is "too mythos" for my tiny human brain.

@darnell Sad state of affairs and complete lack of priorities if being a Head of State exempts you from war crimes…🤔😒

A #homeless man was charged with a felony for #camping. He's one of the first

> When Joseph Lamont Williams refused to leave the public park where he has lived for years, he was charged with a felony. Camping bans are on the rise as states seek to crack down on #homelessness.

@artemis yayyyyy so happy to reacquaint you

@evan no, but learning is full with sandbox mistakes.

I put my bike speedo on my back wheel and wow, I can now do 46mph on the flat without trying! An effortless PB! #cycling #biketoot #ebike

@arstechnica 💯. Also, the tech companies should stop stuffing phones with gigantic amounts of "user data" so they can charge for extra storage. AND, clearing user data should not compromise your saved info, images, passwords, etc across ALL your devices - blackmail? Should be a strict demarcation between essential data (tiny) and every keystroke you ever made (huge, and privacy concern)

When physicist & best selling author Chanda Prescod-Weinstein sent me this declaration on AI written & signed by a bunch of mathematicians, I was initially super skeptical because I had seen a whole bunch of such “declarations” which, at best, are distractions from the actual problems we should be discussing. But once I started reading, I was mostly nodding my head up and down in complete agreement and super impressed at how spot on so many of the points were.
