I'm wave packet bundles. (Hi!)

My directions of propagation are mostly inward and forward, with less wave action in my outward directions. (No children.)

I usually try to surf near the crest of social norms, while still moving perpendicular to most others. (Less thrilling vertical plunge, but more forward motion.)

🧵 5/n media work is so boring and bad that you should pay #followers compensation to #follow you. Learn #storytelling in #socialMedia and pay people who know their work in #sciComm!
🟡 You already guess the biggest problem for many: social media means #communication, especially the #Fediverse is not made for stubborn broadcasting. #Communicate with people, ask questions, provoke #interaction and *interact*.

The large barred spiral galaxy NGC 6872 is interacting with a smaller galaxy to its upper left in this composite image built from Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory data.

The smaller galaxy has likely stripped gas from NGC 6872, which feeds the supermassive black hole in its center. The X-ray data from Chandra can be seen in purple, while the visible data from Hubble is red, green, and blue.

‘Culture of disrespect’: Australian teachers say students’ behaviour is driving them from profession

"The proportion of Australian teachers reporting they plan to leave the profession jumped from 22.25% in 2020 to 34.21% in 2022."

The Guardian · ‘Culture of disrespect’: Australian teachers say students’ behaviour is driving them from professionBy Caitlin Cassidy

The Dutch supermarket chain Jumbo has introduced approx 200 special checkout lanes called "chat checkouts," across its stores in the Netherlands. Designed for customers, particularly elderly, who appreciate a slower-paced checkout that allows time for friendly conversation with cashiers.
The initiative aims to combat loneliness among seniors & foster social interaction within the community. ->

The #Interaction and #Concurrency Experience #workshop (ICE 🧊) 2025 Call for paper is out! #CFP ➡ ice-workshop.github.io/cfp.txt ⬅

ICE 🧊 will be co-located with @DisCoTecConf and take place in #Lille , #France 🇫🇷 on June 16th (discotec.org/2025/satellite/ic).

This workshop is very dear to me: instead of the usual "submission ⇉ (rebuttal ⇉) review" flow, it uses a very original selection procedure (discotec.org/2025/satellite/ic), where PC members and authors discuss and collaborate for the greater good ⇆.

This year again we have an amazing program committee (discotec.org/2025/satellite/ic), an amazing invited speaker (Kirstin Peters, from Augsburg University) and welcome submissions until April 9th, 2025 ⌛.

Alright scumbags. Guess who thought of a legit use for LLM / gen AI / regurgitative AI / whichever, in specific cases?

Mandatory condition: middle managers and C Suite or SMT dumbasses use the garbage multiplier on their own.

They need to learn how shit they are at communicating when the stolen vomit static mash-up program can't give them precisely what they want.

yes backfires possible and likely.
But jfc, if it means people who know "creative" just means "someone who tries something" get a tiny possible break from the hierarchical bullshit, that's a positive.

hey get creative and share it with people, like this e-Zine!

For most of us, this isn't high school anymore. I'm not your parent or family friend who mocked you for being cringe or whatever the fuck.

Speaking for myself, I want to read your work. I want to see your visual art. I want to hear your audio art.
I want to engage with your thoughts in the medium or format you find most conducive.

It's not about getting everyone to agree with only you since "you're infallible."

Remind people that disagreement exists and is palpable.

Do what you can, of any "amount" or "worth".

You exist, therefore you impact this Earth.

@lproven @theregister as much as I love the #freedom and #autonomy of #linux it's definitely a #purest #technically #adept approach to self #digitization

The majority of people I've worked with want nothing to do with knowing how anything works. They just want their computer to auto-load all their bents like #magic , be able to access anything on the #Network without getting permission and install any #app on their #device they choose.

#Government , #libraries especially, need to untether from #broZone #architecture and do things for themselves again.

I'm not a #statistician and only have #anecdotal #evidence to go by, but I don't see a whole lotta folks doing, or even wanting, to do things themselves. Let alone, pick up the #skills required to do so.

The worst part, the people actually willing and able to help, can't afford to, because it doesn't #pay well, enough.

So, we all have to figure out a way to fix "that" first. But, that would require everyone believing doing #work themselves is better for them and the #Earth in the long run rather than #automating each and every #human #interaction out of #existence

The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World by Allison J. Pugh, 2024

A timely and urgent argument for preserving the work that connects us in the age of automation. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and labor-saving technologies like self-checkouts and automated factories, the future of work has never been more uncertain, and even jobs requiring high levels of human interaction are no longer safe.

Gazing at your dog can connect your brain with theirs #research shows

It might sound far-fetched, but research suggests #dogs’ & humans’ #brains synchronise when they look at each other

This is the first time that “neural coupling” between different #species has been witnessed

Neural coupling is when brain activity of two or more individuals aligns during an #interaction. For #humans, this is often in response to a conversation or story
