Kudos to the European Research Council (#ERC, @ERC_Research):

"To keep up with the times, the focus on journal publication #metrics should be dropped, in favour of achievements that give a more rounded picture…In line with @coarassessment's recommendations, the ERC’s new rules shifted away from the traditional listing of research posts held and papers published, to a four-page narrative curriculum vitae."

„Um gemeinsam mit Ihnen unserer Umwelt Gutes zu tun, werden wir künftig auf Plastik bei der BahnCard verzichten…” schreibt mir die Deutsche Bahn doch tatsächlich.
Um „unserer Umwelt Gutes zu tun”, muss deshalb jetzt jeder Mensch, der eine Bahncard will, einen Kundenaccount bei der Bahn haben. Unter der Überschrift „Wozu dient das Kundenkonto?” schreibt die Bahn selber in ihren AGBs: „Im Rahmen Ihres Kundenkontos tauschen wir untereinander Informationen aus mit dem Zweck, unsere Angebote speziell auf Sie zuschneiden zu können.”
Huch! Geht es etwa gar nicht um unsere Umwelt, sondern um Daten, Überwachung und Marketing? #DBTracking

It is fun to explore what is good. It is childish to fight over what is best.

The economy idea that life is competition, that we are in a „lifeboat“ universe where everything needs to be ranked, is toxic.

It seems like the closed-door classified intel briefing lawmakers got before the TikTok vote did not surface any new concrete examples of how the app is being used as a cyberweapon. May take a court battle to illuminate on what basis the ban is being justified.

“You can’t restrict Americans' constitutional rights on the basis of secrets," said Jameel Jaffer.

So I play handbells, and I'm going to handbell festival in April, so I thought I'd share one of my very favorite pieces that we're playing at festival this year. It's called the Storm shall Pass. and the reason that it's my favorite piece is because there are so, so many different handbell techniques featured in this piece, and that's what makes it so much fun to play. I hope you enjoy.

I am excited to be presenting an accessibility workshop for #InnovateUS. I will be focusing on taking a role-based approach for accessibility. Subject-matter experts (SME) have their role, but too often responsibilities in government are hardened and accessibility becomes someone else's responsibility. Taking a role-based approach can fix barriers earlier in the project's lifecycle.

in reply to Mike Gifford, CPWA @FOSDEM

This looks super interesting. The tendency to split off responsibility for accessibility into a single position doesn't really seem to be working. And it clashes with the "shift left" philosophy that requires integration in the process all along the way.

Very interested to hear your ideas about a role-based approach.

I wonder if I can register if I'm no longer a public sector employee...😬 ?
