@aubreyjones @pluralistic I'm really fascinated by the idea of this mirror universe where (a presumably goatee-wearing) Cory Doctrow has been convincing the world to love DRM and palling around with Metallica.

@freemo Thanks for the update! @peterdrake @MichaelPorter

Just noticing that it looks like the @arstechnica account stopped posting here about a month ago. #Mastodon

@peterdrake @MichaelPorter Ah, okay, thanks for the sleuthing. I was aware of some other things being broken but not this sort of phenomenon. Glad to hear @arstechnica is still posting on mastodon. @freemo

@rwg @freemo not sure if you want to comment on #qoto

@petersuber Open access is certainly desirable, no author fees obviously sounds good, and I agree that if it would be better if journals were not-for-profit ventures, but I'm unclear how the significant work performed by the journal staff will be funded if we remove both embargoes and author fees.
