We've updated our website so it's easier to see which fees a journal charges. We've made it easier to understand if a journal charges other fees apart from #APCs. The details are on our blog:

All,
Please let this serve as notice. We will be fediblocking tech.lgbt in 1 week's time, on December 7th. This decision was sparked by reports of the owner, david, bypassing a block to harass a member of their own (edited for clarity) instance by email. This is not the first time either admin have crossed the line. I've had the instance muted in the past and personally blocked the admins and mods to preserve existing follower relationships between our servers, but over 2 years the behavior has only continued.
I ran a local poll for a week and asked for feedback from indiepocalypse.social members, and while the turnout was low, there was overwhelming support to say this was the correct move to make.
Please spread the word so folks who want to maintain mutuals or follower relationships can take the action they feel is appropriate.
But it's about the economy — always. It's always about the price of eggs:
In his book The End of White Christian America, Robert P. Jones notes (pp. 86-7) that Public Religion Research Institute surveyed Americans in 2015 to ask, “Since the 1950s, do you think American culture and way of life has mostly changed for the better, or has it mostly changed for the worse?”

“The question of whether American culture has gone downhill since the 1950s divides Americans overall, with a majority (53 percent) saying it has changed mostly for the worse, compared to 46 percent who say it has changed mostly for the better. But we can see stark cleavages by race and religion."

"More than seven in ten (72) percent white evangelical Protestants and nearly six in ten (58 percent) white mainline Protestants say American culture and way of life has changed for the worse since the 1950s. Roughly six in ten white Catholics (58 percent) agree with their fellow white Christians that American culture has changed for the worse since the 1950s."

"Meanwhile, approximately six in ten Hispanic Catholics (59 percent) say the opposite – that American culture has changed for the better. Approximately six in ten (63 percent) religiously unaffiliated Americans also say American culture and way of life has changed for the better since the mid-twentieth century, as do majorities of African American Protestants (55 percent)."

"Overall, the pattern is unambiguous: most white Christians – along with groups in which they constitute a majority, like the Tea Party – believe that America is on a downhill slide, while strong majorities of most other groups in the country say things are improving” (p. 87)."
But it's about the economy — always. It's NEVER about race and gender, racism and misogyny. It's about the price of eggs.

"Its about the Economy"
The problem with Capitalism is "WHO" is holding the playing cards
The Federal Reserve Banking System was established by the Wilson Administration in 1913-14
Wilson said of it when leaving office, "it was the dirtiest deed ever done to the American Public"
Bankers have always wanted to control the currency
Lincoln is the days before the Civil War was approached by the Banks to CUT A DEAL
Lincoln decided to Create the "Green Backs"& have all money the same
One white evangelical experience that is not shared with the majority of Americans is regular attendance at white evangelical churches listening to preachers tell them that America has failed and that they are called by God to repair and redeem the nation, a message often expressed in deliberately partisan political language.
We can complain all we want about right-wing media but, meanwhile, we are subsidizing thousands of churches that buttress anti-democratic emotions and resolve.
It's socially acceptable to talk economics and not acceptable to talk about mental health, equity, etc.
White people's psychological roles are threatened but saying so isn't allowed so they substitute the word "job" for "role" and pretend that's what they mean until even they've forgotten how to say the names of their real grievances.
They don't have a vocabulary
The Ole concept of Tabula Rassa is the only page, and its empty?
Religion is a learned experience
Its got a great big hook, just like the Bible says " I will make you a fisher of Men"
So Ya Wanna Believe ?
Seems the willingness of mankind to invent a GOD is indeed limitless
"God is all powerful & all knowing"
O.K. stop right there ! Man isn't !
Wait for the Inspiration...Maybe
Or Not
This seems like a good thing to do. Review books you’ve read in a year along the way and then a final list at the end.
I have not read as many books but I have still read a few. Like @pluralistic I have started and abandoned a few books along the way too. So most of the books I’ve finished are recommendations enough.
I will come out with my list of recommendations later.
As of today (2024-12-02), it has been 1000 days since Crossref updated its POSI self-assessment.
It's not the worst of the "POSI Posse" in this respect.
But it may be the most worrying.

2) I am highly skeptical, and you should be too, of any study which claims to be able to measure down to a single percentage point how many articles in a dataset are written by AI. AI detectors are notoriously unreliable.
3) Even if it's true, there's nothing wrong with a short post on LinkedIn that was written with AI assistance but reviewed and fact-checked by the person posting it. LinkedIn literally has built-in tools for this.

En cas de censure de Barnier et du gouvernement, "chacun des députés aura à rendre des comptes dans sa circonscription", menace Maud Bregeon, désespérée de perdre son maroquin, sur Europe 1. Il y 3 jours, son camarade Mathieu Lefèvre accusait LFI de "mettre une cible dans le dos" des députés contre l'abrogation de la réforme des retraites en exposant leurs noms en ligne. L'hôpital, la charité...

OHARRA | Gogoratzen duzue duela urtebete multinazional batek mehatxu egin ziola ARGIAri Euskal Herrira etorri zen Guatemalako ekintzaile bati eginiko elkarrizketagatik?
argia.eus/argia-astekaria/2822…
Solway izeneko munduko meatzaritza enpresa handienetakoak elkarrizketa hura ezabatzeko agindu eta 15.000 euro exijitu zizkigun, beren Madrilgo abokatu bufetearen bitartez. Gure erantzuna prentsaurreko baten bidez jaso zuten: ez gaituzue isilduko, kazetaritza ez da delitua.
argia.eus/albistea/kazetaritza…
Ez genuen elkarrizketa ezabatu, ez genien zentimorik ordaindu, eta garrantzitsuena, egin genuen salaketari esker dozenaka hedabidetan atera ziren hango herritarrei Solwayk egiten dituzten desmasien inguruko informazioak.
Hori duela urtebete izan zen. Gaurkoan, afera honen hurrengo kapituluaren berri eman nahi dizuegu.

"All of Syria’s #Unesco world #heritage sites have either been damaged or destroyed. Gaza’s Great Omari mosque, whose origins date back to the fifth century and which has been described as “Gaza’s historic heart”, was laid to ruin by the IDF.
The old city of Sana’a in #Yemen, inhabited for more than 2,500 years, has been classified as “in danger” since 2015. This year, in #Sudan, tens of thousands of #artefacts, some of them dating back to the #pharaonic era, have been looted. Cities can be rebuilt, but #heritage is irreplaceable.

- Bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides found in 85% of rivers tested in England.
- Up from 79% in 2020-22.
- Areas where sugar beet farming/processing is concentrated had some of the highest detection rates.
