@h3artbl33d Good.

The Sharing Group isn't listed.
Hopefully that means my provider is „safe“ (for now)

@cR0w lost some colour 😮

@aral I hope you migrated off of Vimeo already.

Vimeo was recently acquired by a private equity firm and you know what comes next: Vimeo Lays Off ‘Most’ of Its Staff, Allegedly Includes ‘the Entire Video Team’.

Look! #Threema got bought up -- and development on the desktop client stopped immediately:

Acquisition was announced on 12th January:

If you're an academic and are not using the Sioyek PDF reader to read papers ... you should try it. It has the ability to jump to references (or other sections, or figures, etc.) and back - or display them as an overlay right where you are. Even if there are no explicit links in the PDF! Easily look up stuff on Google Scholar (or other search engines.)

It's a bit idiosyncratic and does have somewhat of a learning curve, but if you spend a lot of time reading papers, it's worth it.

Ne Gelegenheit für die Instanz zu werben?

Oder Erfahrungen zum WOA-Plakat auszutauschen?

I need university administrators (and probably some other people too, but definitely university administrators) to understand something: you cannot motivate your faculty to do more research or better teaching.

They are already maximally motivated people. They did not get the job by being unmotivated. A good chunk of them have more motivation than is healthy for them.

Any action you take to "motivate" them is going to be demotivational. Any of them. Yes, even that one that you just thought of. Yes, even the one you heard about from one of your peers at a different institution that you're jealous of.

Lean in close, here's the secret: all you have to do is (a) support them in doing their jobs, and (b) not fuck things up.

TIL that Google has a a thing called Google Congestion Control that is NOT ONLY squatting on the acronym that has been used by the GNU Compiler Collections for, oh, I don't know, ONLY FORTY YEARS, it is ALSO not actually a congestion control algorithm.

Get your shit together, Google

Do you have a measure in place in case your dev machine is cracked and malicious Kitten packages were released?

(Looks like there's something with provenance in npm land but it's not taken into account by default during installation)

@aral Not just .pe, but "CH, .ES, .FR, .LI, .PE, .SG, .COM.SG, .COM.AU, .ORG.AU, .NET.AU" according to the source linked there: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9916/2207/tlds-grace-periods/

Habt ihr auch derlei Artikel?

Vielleicht sogar mit ein wenig mehr Nuancen. Hier war es reichlich oberflächlich, finde ich.
