In the #world of #SocialMedia,
#Twitter once reigned, a big idea.
But #Mastodon's now here,
With less #censorship #fear,
And more #freedom to #share ideas.

No #algorithm to #control,
No #EchoChamber to #Patrol,
Just #open #communication,
And less #manipulation,
With Mastodon, it's a different role.

I find it deeply troubling to see no signs having emerged as yet, regarding the #press finding out how to maintain an objective informative position in the face of forces clearly & openly exploiting it to spread malicious, aggressively stupid bullshit.

Again: Objective - NOT neutral. Even if neutrality was possible, which it fucking isn't, that isn't the job. The press is obliged to be biased in favor of facts.

"To say something factually correct is already to have an #opinion on what to do with it."

Lauréline #Fontaine: "In a society of law built since the end of the Middle Ages around the protection of trade and exchange, truth has progressively acquired the status of a social necessity: it excludes uncertainty and produces the trust necessary for the maintenance and development of exchanges."

"The category of truth in the social space is not - in fact - the object of a monopoly (including in a scientific community tightly bound around certain protocols intended to produce it): the category of #truth is a very liberal practice, or even neo-liberal to use a paradigm of analysis that has become commonplace today. It is the object of a form of permanent competition, depending on the means available to some and others to appropriate it or reveal it."

"Dire quelque chose de juste factuellement c’est déjà avoir une #opinion sur ce qu’on veut en faire."

Lauréline #Fontaine : "Dans une société de droit construite depuis la sortie du Moyen-Âge autour de la protection du commerce et des échanges, la vérité a progressivement acquis le statut d’une nécessité sociale : elle exclut par elle-même l’incertitude et produit la confiance nécessaire au maintien et au développement des échanges."

"Le registre de la vérité dans l’espace social ne fait – de fait – pas l’objet d’un monopole, y compris dans la communauté scientifique pourtant particulièrement resserrée autour de certains protocoles destinés à la produire : le registre de la #vérité est une pratique très libérale, voire néo-libérale pour utiliser un paradigme d’analyse devenu aujourd’hui courant. Il fait l’objet d’une forme de concurrence permanente, en fonction des moyens dont disposent les uns et les autres pour se l’approprier ou la révéler."

@MW1CFN I'm not sure if FT8 can be said to be "communication". It completes the minimum amount required for QSO (exchange callsign and report), but that's it. That's communication, but really limited.

But FT8 sure is effective way to complete long distance QSOs.

Am still sorting my thoughts on this recent AI explosion, but it has its practical uses. I had a longish online conversation with someone just now, in French. I don't speak French & they know little English. It went down just fine on both sides. I used Google Translate to read their comments & convert my side into their language. 🙂🙂

Je constate que de plus en plus d'organisations investissent #Mastodon en s'y comportant comme sur #Twitter et en ne respectant pas les usages du lieu.

Notamment, ces organisations ignorent totalement l'usage du #CW (#ContentWarning) et ne fournissent aucune #description des #images qu'ils publient.

La non prise en compte de la diversité des publics, et notamment des personnes en situation de #handicap, renforce la dimension #validiste de leur #communication.

One of the most important feature of #productivity #work and #communication #apps is performance ⚡️

When you have to wait for an app to load, for a view to load, for a text input to load it is not productive. And it can very easily dislocate you from the flow 👎

That's why in @nozbe we have performance built-in into DNA of our app. We make sure that app and all views load fast and are always accessible for you. Even if you are offline 😉

How important is performance for you in apps you use?

Showing launching MS Teams and Nozbe on Windows side by side to compare launch time. Nozbe launches in 2.2 seconds and MS Teams in more than 7 seconds.

I often place "not much of a talker, I am a writer" in my bio. Now I find that I am not alone. I feel your pain, Paul.

Not being a conversationalist goes against the societal norm and it has caused me endless grief. I am a writer, but that is often not enough. I refuse to talk on the phone. It usually does not end well for me.

However, I shall continue muddling through! Y'all have yourselves a great day,

Cool down, and maybe take a walk
Before we gather at the steeple.
Although we’re both quite busy people,
There’s something that the two of us
Should take a moment to discuss,
Perhaps avoid a big mistake…
Because my whole facade is fake.

A complex, but consistent question we get in space science research is "why should we continue to fund this type of science when we can resolve real-world issues here on Earth?". It's a valid question.

But the thing is - sometimes, pure science leads to global applications that benefit billions. Radio Astronomy gave us Wi-Fi. Extremophile studies gave us PCR tests for the pandemic.

I always love sharing these types of real-world applications stories.

Recently, an Aussie-based company called Quasar Satellite Technologies, has taken phased-array feed tech from CSIRO's radio telescope, ASKAP, and worked out a way to use the tech to communicate with multiple satellites at once per ground station. Given how many satellites are going up - this is that kind of game-changing tech we want to see. They've just secured their next round of funding.

She's wearing her iconic blue-rimmed glasses and a wireless phone headset on her right ear. She has a plain silver eyebrow piercing on her right eye, as well as a black septum piercing with amethyst accents.

'BYU communications professor Scott Church said even though people don’t think much about their GIF usage, understanding them and how we use them can help us better understand ourselves and how we communicate in today's media environment. According to a new study by Church and a team of BYU coauthors, GIF users fall into one of three categories.'

Preventing Warnock’s Dilemma in Google Docs

I recently learned that Google Docs supports approvals on documents, which help to ensure that people read and react to your request for feedback to avoid Warnock's Dilemma.

Have you ever started a book and immediately knew you were going to want to re-read it again?

I just had that experience with Resilient Management by Lara Hogan!

I am studying #engineering, and we have compulsory #humanities and #philosophy modules to help develop our #ethics and actually thinking about products we develop. We later then had #law, #ethic modules, and #communication specific to engineering. They were frustrating at the time. But today, I can look back, and I am thankful.

Instant messaging is ephemeral and should be treated as such. Don't waste your energy trying to back up chats, move them to different platforms, etc.

Do the responsible thing and move any important information to a permanent location.

Do we really need to keep our entire conversation histories on our phone?

"Le sujet idéal du régime totalitaire n'est pas le #Nazi convaincu ou le #Communiste convaincu, mais des gens pour qui la distinction entre fait et fiction (c'est-à-dire la #réalité de l'expérience) et la distinction entre vrai et faux (c'est-à-dire les normes de la pensée) n'existent plus."
- Hannah Arendt, "Les origines du #totalitarisme"

It was recently explained to me that when I try to express mild #friendship interest in someone, it comes across as being cold / disinterested, but when I try to express strong friendship interest in someone, it's usually misinterpreted as a crush / #romantic interest. 😭

Feels like everyone received some kind of #communication dial, but I only got an on/off switch.

I'm always interested in words for colors, and I found this article particularly fascinating: Apparently, warm colors are easier to communicate than cool colors (based on how quickly someone can pick the correct color chip when given clues).

Today I worked on a blog post about inclusive science communication, and #TIL: “It is a sobering fact that some 90% of papers that have been published in academic journals are never cited. Indeed, as many as 50% of papers are never read by anyone besides their authors, referees, and journal editors.”

I've been on #Mastodon for a while now, and recently moved back to Mastodon.social following the announcement of the shutdown of mastodon.au. I realise a new owner is taking over mastodon.au, & wish them the best. However, I made the move before the announcement.

I live in Canberra, Australia, & have a broad experience in #marketing, #communication, #technology & #InformationEffects.

I enjoy #hiking, #ScubaDiving, #LandscapePhotography, #TravelPhotography & #AstroPhotography.

#Fediverse – which proven tricks should a facilitator of a (remote/video) workshop have up their sleeves?

I will facilitate an event storming workshop and draft a 'digital technology forum' call next week. So any fresh tips, tricks, resources are super appreciated!

Spiritual experience is a form of #communication. Being able to identify, label, navigate, comprehend messages enlightens. All takes place in the grey areas where #emotionalintelligence is required to grasp the deeper knowledge. With that understanding come the #keys of #life that teach us to BE THE #CHANGE. To open up seals that have been put away for an appointed time. To part the sea and light the path for those who need. It's not about #superiority, it's about #evolutionary #quantum #leaps.

Love languages – the concept coined by Baptist pastor Gary Chapman some 30 years ago – has taken the relationships world by storm.

But is there any science to the concept?

💕 A relationships science expert surveys the scant #research available:
