It took MUCH longer than I'd hoped, but finally, the #Canadian government sorted my official #papers and I now have a #CertificateOfCitizenship, dated back to my birthday in 1979.

I am, and always have been, a #canuck.

TLDR. I got my official notice back in early March, but they misspelled my last name, and so it's taken us nearly six weeks to get the darned thing switched to my actual name.

You wouldn't believe the relief, especially since my birth country (UK) has become the United Kingdom of TERFs, and my other country of citizenship (US) is equally unhappy about my existence.

Triple Citizenship is a blessing, but also a curse.

In the beautiful world of collaboration, I leave on holidays for 10 days, and mostly every project or task I was working on got moved forward considerably by others, with barely nothing being blocked on me. Thank you everybody

“Papers! Where are your papers?”

Remember, when #travelling on a #train in #America, the #Gestapo might demand to see your #papers.

Die UB der @tu_muenchen hat den Softwarevergleich #Literaturverwaltung aktualisiert. Sehr hilfreich, wenn man sich einen Überblick über die Funktionen von #Zotero, #Citavi, #Mendeley, #EndNote, #JabRef, #Papers und #Paperfile verschaffen möchte: https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/1316333

I've just reviewed Csaba Szabo's ''Unreliable: Bias, Fraud, and the Reproducibility Crisis in Biomedical Research'.

It's a tour-de-force through how most biomedicine research results are impossible to reproduce, how the field is corrupted by fraud, and what some real scientists are doing to counter all of this.

I've checked out @bluebuild tonight, and I find it really, really cool. I'm now running a system with:

- The official* set of #GNOME Core apps installed by default, most of them as Flatpaks from #Flathub
- * #Showtime and #Papers instead of their old counterparts, and #Decibels
- The full GNOME wallpaper collection supplanting Fedora's branded ones
- No Firefox RPM
- No Fedora Flatpak repository

Anyone else using the image would in theory get the same experience out of the box. Pretty neat!

Imagine watching #dystopian or historical fiction and seeing Nazis or other bad guys stop people and demand to see their #papers and saying to yourself, 'I want my country to be just like that'. Seriously, these #MAGA arseholes are villains, whether they can accept that or not.

I'm reviewing articles while I wait for my reviews #research #researchpaper #papers #review

For those who like #papers, here’s the #deepseek one:

Reading this is such a joy. There is real dedication in optimizing the training data and method to yield maximum output performance. This is real technological innovation.

Silicon Valley on the other hand has had their thought corrupted by economic & political power. When you’re big you start to order people around and they start being scared of being critical of you. Being big ends up being the only target.
