@PGResearchHub hi. How can I join the discord? I’ve tried using the link provided, but it says that the link has expired. Thanks!
@adam I don’t think that’s lot of touch. That’s just deliberate
@TruthSandwich @edgeoforever @gothamist I see nothing that here that says they support Russia’s invasion. You’re making up something up to reinforce your pre-existing belief/viewpoint of them. Weak justification for a false narrative
@ednico @pkm yeah, OneNote is still definitely the top note-taking app when it comes to combining text and handwriting. I just wish the sync was better and that the features on iPad and Mac were on par with the features for OneNote on Windows, e.g. tags.
@pkm why do all the new note-taking apps not have handwriting? Am I missing something? Is handwriting not a part of note-taking? Is it not as important? Handwriting is crucial for people in the fields of STEM, so I’m just surprised that handwriting has been ignored by the majority of these new note-taking apps
@kizu @obsidianmd @obsidian this is a really nice work-around to live preview in Obsidian

Just posted this on the bird site - what is the last straw people need to leave twitter completely? I found my limit. I'm leaving.

For me, paying nazi, misogynistic 'influencers' is too far. I've long been passive on Twitter, but used it to distribute content. I can't do it anymore. The values conflict is too much.

I'd love it if some academics took a stand with me. I'm going to delete my (50K+) follower account on the 13th of August. I'm staying for a month to do a count down and encourage others to #DeleteTwitter.

I don't have a recommendation of where is best to go. Anywhere is better than Twitter and its ocean of hate. Appreciate a boost to build a bit of momentum for this protest attempt

Let’s not forget that Elon Musk once stole photos of someone else’s dog off Twitter and tried to pass it off as a photo of his own dog! https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/07/style/elon-musk-memes.html
Elon Musk and Memes: A Controversy Over Giving Creators Credit

The billionaire has been posting content creators’ work without credit. Some are frustrated; others, simply puzzled.

The New York Times
Following the example of the German government and the European Commission, the government of the Netherlands is now running their own Mastodon server! No middlemen between them and their constituents! Welcome @minbzk!

Twitter is now paying people to spread hate

Reminder: if you’re still on Twitter—your presence and your interactions generate revenue. You’re literally funding the alt right.
