Seeing a conference advertise itself using genAI trained on stolen works by creatives had me dashing off a passion toot because I know someone involved with this conference is getting paid and who gets paid and who doesn't is an issue.
But instead of me burning a conference I don't know all the financial planning details for, let me say:
If holding an in-person conference is so expensive you stiff artists whenever you can AND you have disabled and/or BIPOC volunteer to make things accessible

I've never been able to take a geology course so I can't ID this, but this type of stone is in many buildings in older parts of Bilbao and I assume this is some sort of fossilized sea creature of old...

Botanical Society of America just plugged their new merch designs. I think this one is nice just because of the spelling out.

Question:
I know that I am now reluctant to fill out a Google Form and that includes coming from researchers I trust. It's Google I don't trust with my data.
Do people know of ways to get forms and surveys up for free or a low cost that are based on servers in countries with reasonably low corruption governments? Servers hosted by companies with good ethics and privacy policies?
I just encountered something where they wanted my data and I wanted to give it, but opted not to. #AskFedi

It's good to remember there is no algorithm here and part of what that means is that boosting becomes that much more important.
I sometimes boost toots of things well outside my field, especially when they're about conferences, grad school opportunities, and events because I want those who are trying to get the word out to feel that the Fediverse is at least as good a place to do that as the billionaire-owned walled gardens are.
I would like more of them to establish here.

In the spirit of "you can't get what you don't ask for" and "trying to be more positive about online community just like the old days", I have an immodest proposal for kind Mastodonians in Spain, France, Germany, and other European countries I might pass through.
I start in València and need to move on starting March 30, eventually arriving in Freiburg im Breisgau on April 23, then back to Albania. I'm somewhat flexible about where I go in between using my Eurail pass.

It's a bit of a bummer that the Ig Nobels will be held in one of the most expensive cities in Europe...I suppose Zurich was picked for neutrality? I wonder if there are neutral countries with a cheaper cost to visit, though...

People have studied authoritarianism and made lists of steps towards it. But I still haven't run across academics who've studied how just order comes out of chaos - what are the necessaries that make more just democracies arise and stick around, replacing authoritarianism, oligarchies, etc?

Believe it or not, there are some things the US has done well and that the current regime hasn't totally destroyed yet.
One of those things is agricultural extension and the Master Gardener program is part of that. Here's a detail for those in Alameda County, California. (Check to see what your local US county might offer.)
