Today's prize for on-brand academic behaviour goes to the School of Mathematics & Statistics, University of Glasgow, for disguising their building as a chalkboard.
(I'm informed that the elements were collected from working chalkboards in staff offices.)
Been mulling over this article/research paper sent out by @Researchbuzz yesterday about how users do everyday tasks on the computer
"Everyday tasks with computers are not only frustrating but so difficult that a person’s cognitive abilities are predictive of their task completion rates."
Which at first sounds like "Yeah that makes sense" but put another way, there's a barrier to doing basic stuff on computers and that barrier is complex user interfaces.

Gerade in der @tagesschau wieder gehoert: "Irreguläre Migration".
Habt ihr euch mal gefragt, woher der Begriff kommt?
Ich schon und deshalb habe ich mal nach "Woher kommt der Begriff irreguläre Migration?" gegooglet.
Und der erste Hit stammt von Pro-Asyl:
proasyl.de/news/der-begriff-ir…
Ich zitiere:
"Schon 2017 schrieb die AfD in ihrem Papier zur Flüchtlingspolitik davon, »irreguläre Migration über das Mittelmeer« stoppen zu wollen. Seither hat der Begriff seinen Weg in die vermeintliche Mitte der Bundespolitik gefunden. Jens Spahn und Friedrich Merz verwenden ihn zum Beispiel nur allzu gern, schließlich fand er sogar seine Aufnahme in den Koalitionsvertrag der Ampel-Parteien."
Niemand sollte diesen rechten Begriff verwenden, weder die Politiker noch die Tagesschau. Damit leisten diejenige, die ihn verwenden nur Vorschub für die Sprache und Themen der #noAfD.
Boost, wenn Du dem zustimmst.

Just another example which highlights the fallacy of tech being neutral/apolitical
I’m all for competition and alternatives to our current banking systems, institutions, and policies but what we can’t ignore is that we’ve failed future generations when we lie about the risks

Let's recap how the clock works shall we?
At midnight, a new day starts, so the time gets zeroed to 00:00, at least here in Europe. The clock value gets increased every minute all the way to 23:59 after which the day is concluded and a new day starts.
So if you claim that a ticket is valid from the time of first check-in till 00:00 on the same day, the validity interval is actually negative or zero at best. 🙄
@partim i thought i saw something about japanese timetables running from something like 04:00 to 27:00 so the hours after midnight count as part of the preceding day
but some brief searchengineering suggests i might have been misled … or it might have been oldskool tv scheduling, dunno 
Check your IP cameras: There's a new Mirai botnet on the rise
Yet another Mirai-family botnet growing by exploiting vulnerabilities in end-of-life devices, highlighting the importance of replacing EOL devices.
Depending on the device and its hardware, users _may_ be able to flash a different operating system or firmware onto a device that is no longer being maintained by the manufacturer to "extend its life."

Yes, our phones are ‘listening’ to what we say.

I've always envied Adobe Reader/Acrobat users and tablet apps users who have forever been able to freely write on PDFs as if they are physical sheets of papers. Yes, you can use #Xournal++, but I want it as a streamlined UX built into my day-to-day #GNOME PDF reader app.
Although it was not implemented in #Evince, the #Poppler library has some support for ink-like handwritten #PDF annotations.
I have now put together usecases & broad ideas into this #GNOMEPapers ticket: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubat…
With all apologies to Roy Kent: It's here! It's there! It's every-bleeping-where. Thunderbird, Thunderbird.
Thanks for the share!
