"Ride Captain Ride" is a song recorded by the American rock band #BluesImage. It was co-written by the band's singer-guitarist #MikePinera and keyboardist #FrankSkipKonte and was included on the group's 1970 album, #Open. Released as a slightly shortened single in the spring of 1970, it shot up the charts, eventually reaching No. 4 in the US and Canadian charts, making it Blues Image's only Top 40 chart hit. It reached No. 23 in Australia.

Der CfP ist da:

IUG2025: Open Data gut, alles gut? – Gesellschaftliche Fragen der Openness

In diesem Workshop möchten wir über die Pluralität von Openness-Konzepten und deren Auswirkungen auf Gesellschaft und Technik diskutieren. Dabei interessieren uns nicht nur technische Implementierungen, sondern auch das Zusammenspiel verschiedener Disziplinen und Perspektiven.

We are building #Open global consistent time-series data on #livestock dynamics (cattle, goats, sheep and horses) at 1-km annual for 2000-2022+ with uncertainty (prediction intervals). We used the correlation between census data (+50k census polygons) and large stack of environmental covariates to downscale sub-national livestock inventories (preprint at: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-6201916/v1). The first outputs are now available for testing: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14933636. All code at: https://github.com/wri/global-pasture-watch

Keynote from Annayah Presser providing a view on #open #research from the view of qualitative researchers. Important question: what can opennes provide for non-positivist research?

Picture of a slide titled "lessons for Open Researchers: Open Science is often dominated by positvistic logics." terms on the left: reproducibility, fraud, scarcity, scientism, objectivity, inflexibility, legality; terms on the right: transferability, collegiality, abundance, interpretivism, subjectivity, flexibility, ethics of care

This is an unsolicited plug for #vivaldi . It's the dogs! With added #vpn #security in the latest update. Unfortunately I still have to keep my Gmail lines open because some folk are just unaware of the basics. From back in the day "if you think you are being watched, you are!"...still get a hand on my shoulder from the local plod every so often, just to let me know they know. The #UK is not a #free #liberal or #open #democracy .

A month ago I did a thought experiment about @letsencrypt:

Now I read this by @aral:

Apparently Let's Encrypt is/was at risk of losing a substantial amount of funding from opentech.fund (OTF). Other projects like Tor are/were also hit by these policy changes from the Trump administration. BUT, OTF fought back and seems to be OK:

For now. Interesting times.

Mastodon@BjornW@mastodon.social (@BjornW@mastodon.social)Thought experiment: @letsencrypt@infosec.exchange offers certificates to encrypt the traffic between a website & your browser. They reside in the US & thus are subject to the judiciary system of the US. What are the possible risks for websites outside the US, given the current unstable political situation & administration? What type of damage could an executive order do? How could this be mitigated? Boosts appreciated. #Politics #Security #GeoPolitics #Encryption #LetsEncrypt #CyberSecurity #Tech

Ich blättere gerade im Entwurf der AG #Digitales der potentiellen neuen #Regierung und lese:

"Wir [...] treiben #Open #Source [...] gezielt voran. Dafür richten wir unser IT-Budget strategisch aus [entweder „und definieren ambitionierte Zielmarken“ oder „bis 2029 einen Open Source Anteil von 50% zu erreichen“]."

Kann ich da irgendwo voten dafür, dass am Ende die Formulierung „bis 2029 einen Open Source Anteil von 50% zu erreichen“ reinkommt?

Screenshot des Entwurf der AG Digitales der potentiellen neuen Regierung, darin:

Wir sorgen für unsere digitale Souveränität: Wir definieren ebenenübergreifend offene Schnittstellen, offene Standards und treiben Open Source [entweder „mit den Akteuren im Ökosystem voran“ oder u.a. mit ZenDiS, Sovereign Tech Agency, OpenCode, SPRIND“] gezielt voran. Dafür richten wir unser IT-Budget strategisch aus [entweder „und definieren ambitionierte Zielmarken“ oder „bis 2029 einen Open Source Anteil von 50% zu erreichen“].

The first rule of Document #Freedom Day is that we talk about open #document formats and tools that allow documents to be accessed, edited and shared by anyone, without restrictions or reliance on specific software or vendor lock-in.

I wrote the post below to talk about the #free and #open formats and #opensource tools that I am using for the #writing #typesetting and #layout of Return of the Ripper.
