It is nice to be excited about a book I have to read for work.

This one is about #LinguisticLandscapes in the city of #Turku in Finland.

Apparently the Finnish academic journals hosted at journal.fi are using an invalid security certificate, as I am not getting any RSS feed updates from there.

This affects all journals I have an RSS subscription to, so it is likely a platform-wide issue.

Anybody else have similar issue?

I've been listening to ambient stuff in the background to block out the noise of an open office situation, and it works nicely.

I decided to put on some metal on for a change, and I instantly remembered why I actually like to listen to this type of music. Immediately started head banging, air drumming, and I am grinning from ear to ear like a weirdo.

Hooray!

A Finnish citizen petition to lower the VAT of repair services passed the threshold of 50 000 votes meaning the petition will be taken to the parliament for discussion and hopefully the VAT is lowered as a result, as more affordable repair services (clothing, shoes, electronics, bicycles etc) not only support local businesses but also #sustainability and #circulareconomy!

Maybe I am not just very good at this, but holy guacamole is it difficult to write a Python script to automatically download a set of open-access article PDFs using their DOIs.

I am using Unpaywall to fetch the PDF links to open-access articles and user agents to reduce bad responses, but still from the 50 articles I needed to download, I got five.

I guess the rest is just manual clicking and saving. Then again, I understand that publishers do not want big tech to pilfer their libraries.

Interesting things going on, at least in the research group that I am working at.

Several members have expressed their dissatisfaction with recent #Microsoft and #Office365 developments. Apparently, every file on University of Helsinki OneDrive will have to be provided with descriptive metadata to improve Copilot365 usefulness, essentially meaning our research data etc will be gobbled up by AI.

As a result, some colleagues are not only switching to #Linux but looking at #Nextcloud. Hooray!

Happening all across Europe, not just in Austria. Plenty of academics from the US, but also Canada eyeing for opportunities in Europe, or the very least, with European funders/collaborators. Our @digigeolab@mastodon.online also just got a visiting researcher from the University of Washington for these reasons.

Our work at @digigeolab@mastodon.online using #BigData in #NatureRecreation and #Conservation research is quite extensive, and we have collaborated with #Metsähallitus on this research extensively over the last ten years.

We decided to turn our findings and understanding into policy recommendations on using such data to get useful information (only in Finnish). Please check it out here: https://helda.helsinki.fi/server/api/core/bitstreams/f8f62c15-8ed1-4844-917e-6091675e32a4/content

Maybe you or somebody you know has a #Windows10 computer, which works perfectly fine, but will lose support on October 14 because it cannot be updated to Windows 11 for hardware support reasons.

Please, do not turn the computer into unnecessary e-waste but keep using it and give it a new life by installing #Linux on it. There are plenty of advantages in doing so, the biggest one being it's waaaayyy cheaper.
