Is anyone in space familiar with any work done on interrogating interoperability discourse through the lens of colonialist appeals for homogeneity?

@beadsland not exactly interoperability per se but there are the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance, developed by GIDA the Global Indigenous Data Alliance which could be illuminating and are quite important in their own.

I'm updating a little instruction set for students to broadly search for civic technology and open government posts on the Mastodon network.

Any suggestions for hashtags to add to my list at the bottom of this post?

Or suggestions for active accounts to use to prime a list? Pic includes current list members and some instructions.

Ordinal reactions to shoveling snow after each storm of the season:

1st, ha ha see my fitness and form, if there were a Hellenic ideal of a snow shoveler it would be me

2nd, look at the money I’m saving without a snowblower, so responsible, such efficient use of calories

+3rd, I can’t believe snow blowers cost so much, maybe I’ll buy one in May when they’re cheap off season

May, what do I need a snow blower for? I have two arms and I’m not going to add to global warming with this awful thing

There must be a mathematical, temporal function of age and Internet growth which describes the decreasing amount of paper I pack for winter holiday. In graduate school it was a box of books. Now it’s just two books.

I just don't engage with them period. My time, effort and breath are better served doing things worthwhile in comparison, like counting rocks.

As an archaeologist I can tell you that counting rocks is vital science and contributes to a broader appreciation of humanity

BTW, I can really recommend reflection essays as a final assignment in history classes. Final grading can be frustrating sometimes, but there’s nothing better than finishing up by reading a bunch of essays where students say “wow, I learned so much! I had no idea about X, Y, and Z...”

josh,
@josh@fediscience.org avatar

@tkinias
I’ve toyed with the idea of doing a final reflection essay as a post-test. Have them write some essay in week 1 about how they see the subject, then compare their outlook at the end.

I was just testing a Zoom room for a meeting. Is Zoom bombing even a thing any more? I really doubt it was ever a thing. In all the video conferences I've been in since 2020, I only ever saw one get hit in late spring 2020 and it was just loud music. I don't think meeting organizers are using security settings with any more regularity than back then.

maitxinha, to linguistics

Just read that animals use icons and signs to communicate but not symbols. I guess the first question would be whether ‘use’ also implies ‘understanding’, but, aren’t the words we use for commands symbols? I am not saying animals use ‘language’ but I wouldn’t say they don’t use any symbols…heeelp!! @linguistics @anthropology

josh,
@josh@fediscience.org avatar

@maitxinha
Agreed. Not sure what you’re reading but I’d start with questioning the scope of the author’s concept of “animals” … genus Pan, humans, humpback whales, mollusks, tardigrades??!
