  Fedi, I need your input! Since the web is dead and googling "which user agent to use for responsible web scraping" mostly returns AI-generated garbage promoting how to spoof the user agent for non-responsible web scraping: What are your best practices? Any guide you would recommend? #FediHelp #WebScraping #DigitalHumanities

  RE: https://flipboard.com/@golemde/golem-q627d24rz/-/a-GQbWSXBTRrOZnLKOlohQrA%3Aa%3A3627898119-%2F0 Darüber habe ich schon länger nachgedacht. Es könnte ja sogar ein steuerungspolitischer Ansatz sein, nicht über konkrete Vorgaben, sondern über den Preis zu lenken. Auch wenn man dann Leuten sehr viel Informiertheit unterstellt und Weitblick abverlangt. Aber das funktioniert halt nicht, wenn man sofort einknickt, sobald der Preis wirkt und die Leute moppern.

  It’s not a full-fledged argument, but I was just thinking how a standard narrative is “early computers were so large they filled complete rooms, then came the personal computing revolution, and now we carry computers much more powerful in our pockets” when actually the way we use our mobile computers they are again input/output terminals of computers that fill entire rooms (or halls, really).

  RE: https://digitalcourage.social/@BlumeEvolution/116475223890832485 Es ist mir schon seit längerem ein Rätsel, dass die Geschichte von „Migration als Mutter aller Probleme“ mehr verfängt als die von „Tax the Rich“, wenn man sich anguckt, was unsere Gesellschaften wirklich herausfordert. Aber vielleicht kommt ja so langsam Bewegung in die Diskussion.

  I am really interested in the linked.art initiative, but I’m finding it hard to wrap my head around it. What strikes me as particularly odd: * The types-of-types pattern, which creates JSON structures that are very unlike usual JSON properties. * The AATization of everything, including things like language tags, for which perfectly fine native RDF patterns exist. Has anyone worked with it? Are there good Getting Started guides? #LinkedArt #CulturalHeritage

  Two days into the semester, and already two successful PhD defenses. Congratulations to Sebastian Reimann and Adam Roussel, the first PhDs coming out of @sfb1475! It's great to see these years of work coming together like this.

  Na hübsch, da ist sie, die Einladung für ein Webinar für eine „Transparente KI für vertrauensvolle Forschung“ von Elsevier/RELX. 🙄 No thank you, I think I’d rather not.

  Last semester, I did a very basic introduction to digital research methods for religious studies. The idea was to learn a few basic tools and see what is possible in the space short before actually learning how to code. The course ended with a very small project students should carry out using a selection of the techniques they had learned. 1/

  The new browser-based version of #pandoc is really neat! Not a complete replacement for the cli, but a good way to introduce pandoc to people who are less comfortable with terminal commands. https://pandoc.org/app/

  It’s here! We just launched the new website of the #DiGA Collection, a collection of Buddhist sculptures from the Dir Museum in Chakdara, Pakistan. This site was built using an experimental static site framework for #CulturalHeritage collections that I developed over the last months. It’s a first beta version, and it will serve as a foundation for future explorations. Read more and explore the collection here: https://collection.diga.ceres.rub.de/ #BuddhistArt #DigitalHumanities #MinimalComputin...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@markhurst/116110699512246549 Sweden already dialed back technology use in school classrooms and apologized to the young generation affected by this in-the-wild experiment. I'm increasingly worried that the introduction of GenAI will have the same effect on university students and that we'll owe them an apology in a couple of years when the negative impact becomes apparent.
