"Knowledge graphs have the highest impact on collaborative knowledge building, group performance, behavioural engagement, and socially shared regulation in online collaborative learning" https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jcal.12860 @PaulKirschner Aug 9, 2023 on dead bird site,

Euhm. Een van de wezenskenmerken van wetenschap is juist dat het openbaar is, omdat andere wetenschappers er gaten in moeten kunnen schieten. Dus dit lijkt me contradictie…

Awesome that @utwente's https://people.utwente.nl allows for adding Mastodon accounts, any other Dutch universities or UASes (hogescholen) do that too? Any also (allow to) verify the Mastodon accounts with such a personnel page? See https://joinmastodon.org/verification

The mass protest of 25000 people has failed to convince the cabinet to reverse the disastrous cuts to higher education in the #Netherlands. The #FNV, together with all #unions, has therefore decided to go on #strike nationwide. These cuts must be completely off the table! On Wed, Feb 11 at […]

LOTS of posts about web pages disappearing and archives being purged. Many don’t know that scientific knowledge is a HUMAN RIGHT. It’s mentioned explicitly in Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. You know that line from Heine — “Where books burn, people will too.” THAT’S […]

Omdat Nederland niet aan de #MondNeusMaskers lijkt te willen, laait ook de discussie weer op over of je thuis moet blijven bij klachten. Het merendeel van de respondenten wil graag dat de zieke collega thuis blijft, maar de praktijk is hardnekkiger. Aan de ene kant gaan veel mensen ziek naar […]

Would it help if instead of (IT) "security" we'd also use "overall safety" or "total cost of unsafety"? Would that be a way to include usability? People who are up late and frustrated, cause they expect something to take mere seconds like on any other system, might drive a car or perform a […]

Ok, I just installed linux and the experience sucked. Everything worked at the first try, even in advance mode all was flawless. This is not the experience I remember, where is the need to spend 4 hrs figuring how why the wifi card is not working, or trying 30 different configurations of X […]

There is not just difference with social media, but with people. There are people who want to be served. They go to big platforms. And then there are people who want to build. They are here. #fediverse <3

I was trying to sell somebody on Mastodon and they were unconvinced said, “I don’t know, I just hate all the ads on social media.” I blinked for a second, “Oh, well, yeah, there aren’t any ads on Mastodon.” and they immediately grew more interested. I forget how nice that is, and that it would […]

yesterday, I was opponent to the thesis of (now) Dr. Marina Gorostiola González (https://scholia.toolforge.org/author/Q111781036) about "Gett1ng Pers0nal" (https://hdl.handle.net/1887/4093962).

Yesterday, I gave a commencement speech for the graduates of #Passau University. "The virtue of simplicity" reflected on the role of simplicity in science, both personal and universal, and how it is important for the future career of graduates. Enjoy! […]

Wrote up my selfish personal argument for releasing code as Open Source: if you solve a problem and then release it under an Open Source license you will never have to solve that problem again for the rest of your career! https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/24/selfish-open-source/

New resolution to do something positive for the world every time I find myself enraged by "the news". So far today I have joined a nature conservation organisation, donated money to #Ukraine and spent an hour researching wildflowers for a bare piece of ground nearby to attract solitary bees […]

‘more and more critics are coming to understand that LOCK-IN is the root of the problem, and that ANTI-LOCK-IN measures like interoperability can address it.’ @pluralistic seems on 🔥 recently. I guess this is a position #AaronSwartz would have agreed to - because it cultivates empathy with […]
