Oh, and to see how Docsify-This can can be used to improve the student (and instructor regarding content editing) experience within an LMS such as Canvas, here are the most recent slides for a presentation I am currently working on: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1TrdliIdAcpFQ6oCz8xSOj9YJ0JcR9WSe7FS5YM0Ozhc/edit?usp=sharing
It's Friday so no better time for a fresh round of releases of my #opensource Docsify-based projects🙂
Docsify-This (v1.6.2) instantly turns online #Markdown files into standalone web pages… try it out at https://docsify-this.net🚀
If you want to further customize and control the presentation of your Markdown content, especially when rendering multiple page sites, you can install your own Docsify Open Course or Publishing Starter Kit (v1.2.3), which are available at https://github.com/hibbitts-design

Ok let’s do this! For The Markup’s first #Newstodon Friday, we’re reading this piece which summarizes recent research into “algorithmic wage discrimination.” https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2023-04-11/algorithmic-wage-discrimination
The finding is that gig companies are using algorithms to discover the lowest rate that people are willing to work for.
Tagging in our friends at @gbhnews @TexasObserver @damemagazine @STAT @mongabay @conversationus @thexylom and more to share a piece! #journalism #fediverse
Hi! I'm writing about the battle of the transphobic social media CEOs (Substack and Twitter) and trying to see if queer people have any favorite alternatives -- if you've had luck setting up "queer community" on Mastodon (or if you haven't) please do reach out to me here: https://judedoyle.com/contact
Here’s a lovely article in the NYT about container gardening featuring a well known designer in Portland. Posting a “gift” link so you can read it without a subscription. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/19/realestate/container-garden-ideas.html?unlocked_article_code=pKEfM0niX3kXGyeWjzK285X3qOhznfmrI8AYtvD0_ETjST7VnwxNyth7US_2HvCrpk_wZP4PLceBrxQwKTUy8yf4uZM8vvETER6RIOm4FaoN1k8Fy6OHXLK1jeVpObxb8fBx7awiLwdP2hwAB-00DmYv-CofqzqqOvA7_8d_WovyLcnA9EN9ia0FQ1oDfOROkZZZkTdJ7DQsd9dFKwWe943_iXI3UQ5W7FtM4hFnUIB4B1Em9qATwfer8CeYm6JU8X6VXF16nNRI2cILF9NdDxJ7UCrIrjBRNKEIn-xeBdB5A9cZRRiyp6J-2KP4IVUcaVHgD710fntZ9wgZuGx0JWQ0qmo&giftCopy=2_Explore&smid=url-share
Especially loving this container below for its Brutalism-meets-jungle aesthetic (photo from the article)
This is quite the graph, from your thread: annual profit at Elsevier in 2020 larger than annual HHMI grants and Wellcome Trust grants. So much research left on the table, swallowed up by RELX shareholders and Elsevier's fat cats' salaries and R&D to extend its tentacles beyond being a mere publisher. What a missed opportunity.
@adhdjesse literally yesterday.
also, losing my train of thought in the middle of a sentence and forgetting that i was talking in the first place when asked to continue.
ADHD is asking “wait, what are we talking about again?” when you’re the one that’s talking.
I normally post these on Twitter, but it just occurred to me I could try doing so here: MIT Technology Review has an open call for pitches, for our upcoming issue on ⚖️ethics⚖️. We're looking for *big* swings: features, investigations, profiles, and sharp essays at the intersection of #ethics and #technology. Rates: $1-2/word.
Pitch deadline is tomorrow: April 20. Short notice, I know! If you have an idea, but need a day or two to write up a pitch, send me an e-mail (see https://www.technologyreview.com/how-to-pitch-mit-technology-review/)
Scientists have discovered that the perfect amount of sleep for an adult is five more minutes.
tech bros want information to be free when they are taking it, and cost dearly when they are selling it.
@MidniteLibrary thanks for sharing! i’ll keep an eye out for something with more international context, too.
@MidniteLibrary I really liked Karl Urban in that role + atmosphere / aesthetics. Supporting cast was great. Better than your average popcorn flick. I keep hoping that the success of “The Boys” might spark interest in a sequel. 🤞🏻
Was the history video good enough to recommend? I’d be interested in checking it out if it was!
