Außerdem trifft es @medicointernational auf den Punkt:

Um es hart & emotional zu sagen:
Shut up and support your local queer groups/infrastructure.

Hearing Peter Thiel described as traditional conservative / arch-conservative at the keynote of #PubConf2025
(while mentioning his stances against democracy, women's rights, etc.):

Historian here, you can call him a fascist.

@a_ka_es wait what?
Guter Artikel dazu: https://docupedia.de/zg/Spaeth_antifaschismus_v1_de_2019

"Am Anfang stand der von Argo Secondari gegründete paramilitärische Kampfbund Arditi del Popolo. Er vereinte anarchistische, kommunistische, sozialistische und republikanische Weltkriegsveteranen und Soldaten [...]. Als erste antifaschistische Organisation in Italien setzte er bereits ab 1921 der Bewegung um Benito Mussolinis rund 250.000 Personen umfassende Fasci italiani di combattimento entschiedenen Widerstand entgegen."

For everyone in the #USA who can contact a member of congress:

Please contact your member immediately and remind them that Library of Congress is a legislative branch agency and the president does not have authority over it.

Friends don't let friends use iris, those flowers are not innocuous:
"Many people using iris will be unaware that it was first published in work by R A Fisher, a eugenicist with vile and harmful views on race. In fact, the iris dataset was originally published in the Annals of Eugenics. It is clear to me that knowingly using work that was itself used in pursuit of racist ideals is totally unacceptable."

Currently crying some tears of joy and of released pressure/stress:
One of the large repositories in Germany started safeguarding datasets from #NOAA, officially.

Recommendations for cozy/nice co-op #games?
Bonus points if easily run on #Linux 🐝

I need something not very stressful^^

I'm looking for work opportunities for a good friend from (& in) the USA, who got fired very recently because of the ongoing budget cuts.

She is majoring in computer engineering, though also has a variety of experience in software dev, cybersecurity, hardware security, embedded reverse engineering, and a couple other things.
She has been working in those fields for >4 years.

Best would be remote work, starting this summer.
(I don't have more information right now)

Hi fedi, another question re #SafeguardingResearch:

We got a couple of #Tableau data/visualizations that we need to archive.
But: the download is limited to Image, PDF or PowerPoint.

https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/dutytoserve/vizzes

Any ideas/experience with such a task?

Seems like the Department of Education will be next.
We collected what we already did safeguard in this thread:
https://safeguarding-research.discourse.group/t/collection-department-of-education
We got:
- data.ed.gov
- ocrdata.ed.gov
- nces.ed.gov
- eric.ed.gov
- imls.gov

Do you know of anything else from the DoE that needs safeguarding?
Please ping us!

I don't know how well known this is, but I'm getting abuse via a Nostr-Bridge:
