@nek@hear-me.social @mick_collins@toot.community @pluralistic@mamot.fr Got a couple of mistakes, but gosh, I do feel a bit violated. It's complimentary to anti-enshittification, perhaps even inoculating to shitty shells.

@dahukanna@mastodon.social We need a different system for good publications. If we really look at "refereed" journals they are closer to predatory journals than one would think. Except that the referees are usually less biased than the referees of predatory journals and retractions sometimes do happen. Damage done, just like vaccines and autism, smoking and lung cancer, fossil fuels and climate change.

@opethminded@mstdn.social @stefan@stefanbohacek.online lol, I used to do that in FB as a little e-terrorism/diversion activity and it worked for a little while. I think they might have built filters in for that kind of shenanigans bc after a couple of months I was getting targeted ads again.

@talia_christine@beige.party I think you're right on. Been trying to do that and convince others as well, but that staples button makes it all so "easy"

@altim @nazokiyoubinbou @petergleick That's what he's saying, but given the track record of the dumpster fire in the whitehouse, that might be just political convenience.

@ZLabe@fediscience.org I had heard that the arctic was warming 4 times faster than most other places on the globe. Any speculation why antarctica is about ½ southern polar regions?

@RichardNairn@mstdn.ca PP isn't the brightest tool in the shed. He's preening for his brood.

@c_9@mstdn.ca seems pretty logical and sort of born out by the studies that show living within 500m of a highway is really damn bad for your health.

@tnsaf@mstdn.ca too bad the government didn't address the question about the privacy's commissioner's input, over and over again.

@syntaxseed@phpc.social So well said by Eby. However, on reflection, those you might consider your friends are really bullies of the worst kind, ie Russia's Putin or North Korea's Il.
