Cela semble absurde, et j’ai été choqué la première fois que je l’ai compris, mais la France – il n'y a pas d'autre mot – est bien un paradis fiscal pour milliardaire Explications détaillées 🧵

Oh, the irony

Trying to update a large rust crate in #guix is a use nightmare of version whack-a-mole, there has to be a better solution.

False, it's the RNA vaccines with 5G connectivity implemented that does that duh

New study: 58% of studies #preregistered on #OSF before Nov 2017 have been conducted but not publicly shared. When asked why not, most authors cited lack of time or changing jobs "followed by null results & rejections during peer review." journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #OpenScience #ScholComm

Sidération en Allemagne après les propos tenus par JD-Vance lors de la funeste conférence de Munich: le vice-président américain a confirmé le soutien de l'administration Trump à l'extrême-droite en affirmant que la liberté d'expression était "menacée" en Europe... alors que la Maison Blanche […]

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

As mentioned in Trunk & Tidbits earlier this week, we're sharing our approach to building quote posts for Mastodon. More to do here, but this is the background. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/bringing-quote-posts-to-mastodon/

We stand in solidarity with our friends at @Codeberg. No project should have to deal with this kind of abuse and we applaud their efforts to tackle it and protect their community. If you share our desire for truly free software and infrastructure that doesn't harvest your data, and have to the […]

Humpback whale briefly swallows kayaker in Chile. Kayaker stays calm through it all and films the whole thing. https://apnews.com/article/chile-kayaking-tourism-whale-b0cafde4b640326f20a9da28003d6c26?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us !!! #Marine #Chile #Whales

Psst. Hey, you. Yes, you. Just a friendly reminder to correctly select the language you're using in your post to allow translation for other users who may not read that language. Be gentle. #MastoAdmin #Mastodon #Fediverse #BeGentle

#mastoadmin Any technical reason that when I search for `bsky` with elasticsearch I don't get the posts with links to bluesky, but when I search `bsky.app` I get them? (And I mean posts with the bsky term only in the link, not in the text of the post)

Excellent Letter to the US President and Congress on the Scientific Understanding of Sex and Gender by three scientific societies of evolutionary biology […]

IA de "l'argent magique": Macron promet un investissement français de "109 milliards d’euros sur les prochaines années", soit "l’équivalent de ce que les Etats-Unis ont annoncé avec StarGate et ses 500 milliards", fanfaronne le président au 20H hier. "C'est un concours de bites", grince un […]

Remember Aaron♥️ Fuck #Meta :fuck_face:

Excited to read this, I've been worried about the recurrence of these peaks in #PSMC graphs for years. Also, just on time before we submit one (a first for me). #PopulationGenetics #PopulationGenomics #MethodsMatter https://bsky.app/profile/leonhilgers.bsky.social/post/3lhl5ti3nec25

It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and `echo`! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you […] [Original post on social.smallhack.org]

This is major #H5N1 news: While, so far, dairy cows in the US were infected by genotype B3.13, genotype D1.1 was found in Nevada via the national milk testing strategy. If confirmed that it's not a bird intrusion into a milk tank, this means that there has been a new spillover into dairy cows.

These 2 papers provide compelling empirical evidence that competition in #science leads to sloppy work being preferentially published in hi-ranking journals: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/733398 https://academic.oup.com/qje/advance-article/doi/10.1093/qje/qjaf010/7997678 Using […]

Il faut vite sortir de la sidération et regarder la vérité en face : un coup d'état administratif est en cours aux États-Unis

Scientific societies: please do not advertise X/Twitter to "live tweet" your conferences this year. Prepare now accounts and instructions to use Mastodon and Bluesky.

Je ne vois encore rien à ce sujet dans les médias français -- ce qui se passe en ce moment aux États-Unis est effrayant

Honestly if you haven't watched this documentary, I recommend it.

Why we have software in the first place 😝

Today when explaining open source and free software for the first time to a student, I also had to explain that Richard Stallman is NOT safe and any organization that hosts him is also not safe. It pains me that so many organizations enabled Stallman for so long, more interested in protecting […]

Entendu ce matin ce France Inter "le président de la République et son peuple", euh, pardon ? On est revenus en monarchie pendant la nuit ?

And now he’s taking credit for rain falling from the sky

So much for not having ads on Mastodon; we're currently seeing an increased activity from users not tagged as bots offering sketchy promotions and a link to buy discounted stuff. In case you'd trip in one of these fellas by a direct contact or by seeing one in the wild (the local/federated […]

Demain 28 janvier à 13h le groupe Recherche Reproductible tient un "café #Guix" en ligne (comme tous les derniers mardis du mois). Ce mois-ci, comment articuler Guix et conteneurs ou machines virtuelles #VM #Docker https://meet.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/b/cel-dyj-m93-arv

Feels like the right time to start planning for moving all international scientific conferences to somewhere outside the US.

Is it just me or has github been enshittified to the point it's barely usable now? I don't remember it being so slow and so many problems when simply navigating the site.

If you want to try the latest version of typst in #guix, it's now in guix-science!

Because this hit a nerve yesterday with many I saved some of my notes in a thread by @ai6yr on interviewing in long form. https://khufkens.com/posts/the-power-of-failure/ #problemsolving #failure #education #interview #LLM #GenAI

[rant, french] Alors les offres d'ATER que je vois passer qui ne mentionnent même pas la durée du contrat, c'est vraiment du foutage de gueule haut-niveau des jeunes chercheurs.

Trump did not invite France’s Macron, the UK’s Starmer or Germany’s Scholz for the inauguration but instead invited those countries’ fascists Reconquest/Zemmour (France), the AfD/Weidel (Germany) and Reform/Farage (UK). As a friend just said, it’s not an inauguration. It’s a rally.

Allez, ça faisait longtemps que j'avais pas fait un peu de chou fermenté (depuis que j'ai quitté Montpellier où j'en faisais souvent). 🦠🥬🫧

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)
