Hmmmm so if I want to use a not-so-new #Garmin watch that only does heart rate broadcasting via #ANT, to feed heart rate data to #RunnerUp on a phone running #LineageOS, then I'm out of luck because the ANT stack is proprietary and not included in LineageOS. Did I get that right?

Broke: Using #Clojure i/o #Java or #Kotlin because it's functional and that's better!

Woke: Using Clojure because #Leiningen is just the better build system and #Gradle, #Maven and #Ant suck.

I know I drew her just to make a point. But I'm starting to love her.

She scuttles up to you and wiggles her ears inquisitively.

Sometimes the trivial questions are the most tricky ones. I'm looking for a reference to a short, citable definition of "" (as in social actor). Any ideas?

ACTOR: "any thing that does modify a state of affairs by making a difference."

Marko,

@Barros_heritage @mfi @sociology @politicalscience
For instance, one might consider the #ANT definition a fancy but sterile metaphysical move that will hinder sociological work ;-) (haha sorry for the provocation)
An alternative strategy would be to merely distanciate yourself from conceptual connotations, depending on the object you want to build ("actor" vs "agent", or "subject", or "stakeholder", or "individual", etc...) without closing the meaning with an determinate definition.

@mfi @sociology @politicalscience:

@philosophy might agree, consider "being".

Luckily, #ANT inspired researchers find a way around that, think empirical philosophy.

I agree in part, even with the provocation 😉 #ANT has generated many conflicting opinions, but I think that, as others have opined (Annemarie Mol, I think, if I remember correctly), #ANT should not be considered a Theory, but rather a toolbox. And as a tool, I do find the definition of "actor" useful, precisely because of its simplicity. What it allows is to highlight the importance that "anything" can have in a socio-political dynamic. I have partially used this approach in a study of the Valley of the Fallen (now the Valley of Cuelgamuros): Political artefacts, aesthetics and heritage: the Valley of the Fallen.

#Ant-viral #drug backfires: #COVID drug linked to viral mutations that spread
Anti-viral drugs, such as #Paxlovid and remdesivir, aim to halt this incessant evolution in individual patients—shortening illnesses, snuffing out opportunities for mutation, and reducing transmission. But one antiviral appears to be backfiring—allowing #SARSCoV2 more opportunities to mutate. #Merck's small-molecule #molnupiravir linked to mutated viruses that spread in people. https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/09/covid-anti-viral-drug-is-actively-helping-sars-cov-2-mutate-and-evolve/

Little fire ant (Wasmannia auropunctata)
Day 3 of #invertober #invertober2023
The name, little fire ant (or electric ant) derives from the ant's painful sting relative to its size. It’s tiny but delivers a whopper of a sting.

Frantic activity continues at the cone compound. They are making a network of tunnels.

The species is Dorymyrmex bureni and they are the most tiny frantic ants that I keep. It's a big challenge keeping them inside an enclosure.

The funny thing is, that I hadn't noticed the little #springtail before the stick figure on the left did... 🙂

Call me crazy but carpenter ants can jump down. That is they will leap, on purpose from a high surface to a lower surface propelled by their back legs. Not quite at the level of Gigantiops destructor, who can jump up and forward... but you can see how it evolved.
