My new presentation – “Data that does no harm: how to manage research data in wartime”.

http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.15879.71846

How can we ensure that research data doesn't put people at risk during war? This talk explores the CARE Principles as an ethical framework for protecting vulnerable communities – especially in Ukraine.

Based on our recent paper in Scientific Data: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-04756-9

Sorry for the mstdn absence, I am using Bluesky more often these days - wanted to send a reminder that our Ethical Data Initiative Town Hall is happening this coming Monday (31.03) and it is still possible to register to follow online: https://ethicaldatainitiative.org/2024/12/20/ethical-data-initiative-annual-townhall-event/ This article, just out, explains what EDI is and why #dataethics matters more than ever: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10938021

“By firing skilled human workers & replacing them w/spicy autocomplete, Musk is assuming his final form as both…kind of boss who can be conned into replacing you w/a defective chatbot *&* as…fast-talking sales rep who cons your boss. Musk is transforming key government functions into high-speed error-generating machines whose human minders are only the payroll to take the fall for the coming tsunami of robot fuckups.”

As our digital lives in the US become less stable and private, I wanted to figure out how to choose what search engine my browser uses.

I just added a new default search engine option for my Firefox on my MacBook (Mac OS).

1) add an extension to Firefox to allow me to add a different default search engine:

Happy to share the release of Voice Assistants in Private Homes, ed. by Stephan Habscheid, @timmoritz, Dagmar Hoffmann, and @dwaldecker.

This open-access book investigates the role of VAs in daily life. An insightful read for researchers interested in media and data practices, linguistic practices with voice-based AI, media domestication, privacy, and HCI. We recommend!

So using a non-google maps app is possible & probably a good idea. Giving your location to google is not safe going forward.

Been using & experimenting with some & I think you might want to find some too.

"…social networking through protocols like ActivityPub, which powers platforms like Mastodon and Pixelfed. These federated systems demonstrate how decentralized networks can achieve global scale while preserving local autonomy, an alternative to centralized social media, where users can choose their communities, set their rules, and maintain ownership of their digital presence."

Leading AI developers are working to sell software to the United States military and make the Pentagon more efficient, without letting their AI kill people. Just kidding: AI is totally gonna kill people.

The Pentagon is shortening its "kill chain" and adding a "robot apocalypse pendant."
