James Baker on Bluesky: 'From 2025/26 University of Southampton DH will be running a new MSc in Digital Humanities (Data Science). Huge thanks to all my colleagues who've helped turn our little idea into a reality, especially the amazing
Lexi Webster https://www.southampton.ac.uk/courses/digital-humanities-data-science-masters-msc

And look out for a Humanities Data Science Lectureship we'll be advertising in the Autumn to lead this programme (ask me if you are interested in knowing more before the ad comes out).'

Does anyone actually drag and drop files to upload them on a web page? I think the button is much easier to use

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

@GossiTheDog imagine if they actually did it to help menopausal, chemotherapy and long covid etc folk living with brain fog! (I don't believe it for a second but still, imagine...)

How do you make a #decision with a group of people? In some activist circles a #sociocracy method of "consent" decision making has become popular.

In a new post on Indoxicate I try to clear up some of the confusion around this idea, and I articulate a criticism that should (I think) be taken seriously by the movement.

The method, whatever it virtues, has little to do with #consent. By using the term nonetheless, groups run a risk of cultivating an abusive practice.

@msteenhagen could there have been a mis-hearing of 'lazy consensus'? I first knew of it through digital humanities (https://nowviskie.org/2012/lazy-consensus/), I'm not sure if the software version is quite the same

'The world needs to pay much closer attention to how, when and whether AI technologies are gendered and, crucially, who is gendering them'
