Doesn‘t really appeal to me that much. The whole hardware thing is a big one for me. I probably would have switched long ago if other hardware didn’t feel like replacing my hand with a bad prosthetic .

is to Apple in these respects, the more likely I am to actually buy and use it. Price should be comparable, too, but I would pay extra for more sustainable/fair conditions

Sorry, I missed your reply. I think what makes it hard for me to switch is 1) the haptics of the hardware. I can’t work with a mouse, these big, smooth, super responsive touchpads are really important, 2) the synchronization over various devices and easy plug and play. I guess the closer a product

Wer geht 2026 noch fürs Klima auf die Straße? Wir! Morgen sind wir in Berlin, Greifswald, Hamburg und Freiburg für eine echte Energiewende und gegen Katherina Reiches Lobbypolitik laut. Bist du dabei? ✊

Thanks!

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Can I use this, with credit, for local educational materials?

You cannot ethically administer a dignified death without first guaranteeing a dignified right to life.

That’s the conversation we need to be having.

Good points, thanks.

Thanks, I'll consider it.

The "publish or perish" culture must perish. Scientists need time to think.

We just published our Slow Science Manifesto, where we argue that huge changes are needed in the way we fund, publish, and evaluate science.

They stock two of my child's favourite colors and one of mine, which is already a big plus!

Would be great, thanks!

Feel free to tell me about your favourite solution and what you like most about it.

Let's say, hypothetically, I would manage to wean myself off Apple products in the next five years. Windows is not an option, obviously, Linux yes.
Where would I start looking for a laptop computer in terms of sustainability, haptics in hardware, speed, compatibility with screens, printers...?

Archaeology has been a part of Humboldt-Universität academic tradition for almost 200 years, so closing it would break a long-standing research tradition

I like how social media enables scientists to actively dispel popular myths & misconceptions about our research. As an illustration, here’s my thread on why there’s no such thing as a “gene for language”... 🧪 1/9

Just discovered an insane new form of co-intelligence where you briefly share the mind of a great thinker in history and then a portion of their mind travels in yours for the rest of your life. Calling it a "book."

Comic depictions of the first page of research papers in the language sciences, with titles that include the following: Just what the hell is a word anyway? See how this single cognitive process or brain area or neural oscillation or gene explains language! Based on the shapes of these old bones, Homo erectus could sing .... don't @ me. A baby looked at one thing more than the other, now we know the secret to grammar. If you think about it, every language is fundamentally the same, amirite? We taught a load of undergrads a made-up language, lol. On the staggering diversity of the many languages across the world. Remember the thing you said only humans could do, here's a video of a monkey / dolphin / corvid / octopus / honeybee doing it. I trained this AI with 80 billion tweets and it became head-writer for phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

To accompany all those Bluesky science/academia #starterpacks, how about we also share introductions to the literature of our different fields. I present here a handy guide to main types of papers in the language sciences (inspired by the amazing @xkcd.com).

Es gibt noch mehr r-Laute. Vielleicht schreibe noch darüber, aber nur, wenn es sehr viele Likes gibt 🤓

lateinische Buchstabe. Viele können den Unterschied zwischen ʀ und r nicht hören.

Für mich ist das wie über Farbenblindheit nachzudenken. Ich kann es rational nachvollziehen, vorstellen kann ich es mir nicht, wie es ist, für diesen Unterschied taub zu sein.

Das ist aber nicht der Laut, den der Herr von der AfD hier fabriziert. Das „gerollte“ AfD-r ist zwar auch ein Trill. Es ist aber kein uvularer Trill. Es ist ein apiko-alveolarer Trill. Das heißt, er wird mit der Zungenspitze am Zahndamm artikuliert. Das IPA-Symbol ist „r“, also wie der vertraute

An der gleichen Stelle kann man statt des Reibelauts auch einen Trill produzieren, wobei die Zunge in einem sehr schnellen Rhythmus gegen das gegenüberliegende Fleisch batscht.

Diesen Laut, das ʀ, bezeichnen Deutsche oft schon als „gerollt“, weil es halt ein Trill ist.
