I'm kickstarting the #audiobook for my next novel, an anti-finance finance thriller about #SiliconValley scams called *Red Team Blues*. #Amazon's #Audible refuses to carry my audiobooks because they're #DRM free, but crowdfunding makes them possible:

Though I didn't know it at the time, Jan 29, 2020 was my last day at #BoingBoing; as it happens, that was nearly exactly 19 years after my *first* day at Boing Boing. 1/ William Blake's watercolor of Cerebrus, the three-headed hel

Though it was a tough decision, it was the right one, and while I'm no longer helping to write the site, I'm still an ardent reader, a co-owner, and a well-wisher.

I started writing Boing Boing at the age of 30. When I stopped, I was 49. That's a lot of living. 3/

Last week, @Gizmodo's @lincodega caught a killer scoop - a leake Hasbro's plan to revoke the decades-old #OpenGamingLicense, which subsidiary @Wizards promulgated as an allegedly #open sandbox for people seeking to extend #DungeonsAndDragons:

The report set off a shitstorm among #DandD fans and the broader #TTRPG community - not just because it was evidence of yet more #enshittification of D&D by a faceless corporate monopolist, but because Hasbro was seemingly poised to take back a #commons. 2/
RPG players and designers had built that commons over decades, having taken #WOTC and the #OGL at their word.

#Gamers were right to be worried. 3/

Seit fast 10 Jahren (ab Januar 2012) befasse ich mich hauptberuflich mit der Beantragung von Drittmitteln für Forschungsprojekte. Im nachfolgenden #Thread stelle ich 10 praktische und kostenfreie Online-Tools vor, die man gut für solche Anträge nutzen kann. #IchBinHanna #FORTRAMA
1) Zunächst mal muss man ja das passende Förderprogramm finden. Für Bekanntmachungen der EU, des Bundes und der Länder eignet sich insbesondere der Blick in die allumfassende Förderdatenbank des @BMWK, die einen enorm praktischen Suchassistenten bietet.

foerderdatenbank.de
2) Wird man hier nicht fündig, hat eventuell eine der vielen 1.000 fördernden Stiftungen in Deutschland das passende Programm im Angebot. Bei @stiftungstweet kann man nach Themenfeldern, sowie auch nach Bundesländern / Kommunen (Regionalförderung) suchen.

When a superdense, concentrated mass forms a black hole, the laws of physics around it change, giving rise to an eldritch zone where the normal rules don't apply. When corporations form a concentrated industry, the laws of economics likewise change. 1/ A NASA rendering entitled 'Neutron Stars Rip Each Other Apar

Take copyright: when I was a baby writer, there were dozens of comparably sized New York publishers. The writers who mentored me could shop their rights around to lots of houses, which enabled them to subdivide those rights. 3/

@Securetate1 @cronhill @HfG_Offenbach @project_mo_de Ich bin auch der Meinung, dass das alles #OpenSource/#CreativeCommons sein sollte. Aber selbst da werden Urheber*innen zum Teil genannt und ich finde das auch fair, die Quelle zu erfahren. Und es ist kostenlos.

Hier ist das ein bisschen komplexer. An der Hochschule wird

1/🧵 Another week of exciting content on the #WalledCulture blog:
➡️ @glynmoody covered how digital images of #PublicDomain works get captured, why #artist nor #academics should sign away their rights, & why Singapore 🇸🇬 sets an example to follow with its updated Copyright Law 👇

O Brasil passou de mil mortes por #covid19 no dia 6 de abril, não hoje! Coletamos dados do Portal da Transparência do Registro Civil e comparamos com os dados disponibilizados pelas Secretarias Estaduais de Saúde. Saiba mais em: blog.brasil.io/2020/04/10/obi… Image
Dados das Secretarias Estaduais de Saúde continuam importantes: todos os dias coletamos (35+ voluntários), checamos, entramos em contato para resolver inconsistências e publicamos no Brasil.IO, mas não podemos olhar só para eles, por isso adicionamos de outra fonte.
Antes de começar a usar nossos dados, leia a documentação da API (github.com/turicas/covid1…) e as perguntas/respostas frequentas (github.com/turicas/covid1…). Ah, e não se esqueça de citar devidamente! #opendata #creativecommons

One of the things we discussed today in our #MRKT4201 IMC (marketing) class was ALLIES. How do we create them, where do they come from?
Perhaps my favourite tool for this is the SPECTRUM OF ALLIES model available through Beautiful Trouble 👉🏼 beautifultrouble.org/principle/shif…
I love their explanation of how this model can be used for activism 👇🏼

Last week I spent 2 days in the "Agendashift Advanced" workshop (April 2019) with @asplake, and I found new ideas and improvements across all of the #Agendashift activities: @Agendashift Evolved!
Looking back at the messy sketch notes that I made from @asplake's #Agendashift book last year, Agendashift is still organised across the same 4+1 activities: Discovery, Exploration, Mapping, Elaboration which all feed in to "Operation" (managing ideas for change).
The current #Agendashift poster also now shows that Operation is ongoing, supporting and evolving from our change ideas right from the very beginning.

Quick Review of the #NSSFGoApp

1. Login requires phone number and email yet estatement portal requires NSSF No.

2. There is a popup display ~XXXXXX~ maybe the developers left it in there

3. When one enters email the app checks for SMS … received
#NSSFGoApp review

4. Why does the app need access to media on my phone? Why is the external permission necessary for an app that provides information? #AppSecurity

5. Hamburger menu in top left hand corner does not work
6. No way to log out of the app - so deleted don’t want my NSSF information lying around on my phone un-secured
