slashdot_threads: Slashdot thread replies (2007)
A network of replies among users of the website Slashdot on the various discussion threads on the site. Nodes are user accounts and each directed edge represents a reply from user i to user j. Replies are timestamped.
This network has 51083 nodes and 140778 edges.

And yes, really, truly, all of that truly is what the term means when researchers and engineers use it.
A confession: this whole thread has simply been a thinly veiled attempt to drum up attention for Brown’s essay, which I hope you will now read and ponder. “‘Artificial intelligence’ is not a technology:”

Re: the last boost. While the thread is inspired by US universities, it _absolutely_ applies to Canadian post-secondary institutions too.
"A safe space to be uncomfortable" would be a great university motto.

Good thread from @… about education, tolerance, double meanings:
#education #academia
This is your regular reminder that open source, self-hosting tools are great AND you don't actually have to host them yourself most of the time! Plenty of great companies offer these tools as a paid-for service - exactly like the subscriptions you have on those other platforms, except more ethical.
I'll share my favourites in the thread - please add yours!
Happy that this just came out on PRX:

You can find the previous explainer thread here:
I need a filter, similar yo an add blocker, that nlocks iut any and all mentions of AI. I can’t ooen my mailbox, browse the internet, read my Mastodon thread without someone trying to convince me I need to use AI.
Got the wheel replaced in my Elna finally. Its WAY smoother but ticks like a clock now. Normal? Going to check it again shortly (just lubricated it) and try again with new thread. I love old cotton wood spool thread but it always breaks so easy. #sewing #sewingmachines

This weekly thread is where you can talk about and promote any zines, whether they're ones you created or not! Tell us about why the zine is great, why a library might want to add it to their collection, and how someone can get it.

Uhhhh there are sooo many options of this SMLight Zigbee USB adapter thing
SLZB-07
SLZB-07P7
SLZB-07P10
SLZB-07MG24
It’s hard to find information about the differences. Which one is the best? Which of them support both Zigbee and Thread/Matter?

excellent description of executive functioning predicaments
... in a thread at Ask a Manager about ADHD.
I wouldn't recommend the whole comments section this time, because there was too much "well _I_ manage" and missing the point, but I thought this comment from "Han about town" laid out the essence of it really well. Here's a snippet on the challenge of consistently filling out timesheets:
"Monetary penalties or privileges have zero effect on the behaviour, because the behaviour is not moderated by risk, reward, or consequences. It’s moderated by how well I’m able to perform a very rote, boring, *consistent* task on a repeated basis, which is very poorly."
