I don’t really understand people who don’t use their blinkers on their cars. I use my blinkers in my own driveway. Signaling to absolutely nobody. Just a force of habit.
@dugglebutt right? If you are mentally processing “ok no one’s around so no need to blinker” or “oh this is busier so I should” then you’re already spending more effort than just doing it automatically🤓
Edit: Pixie has cancer. She's not long for this world, whether we get her surgery and chemotherapy or not. We probably will not. I am crying, but not overly surprised. Looking back, she never fully recovered from the previous sickness back in April.
Many predatory journals get ISBN or ISSN to look legit, so when I see it prominently featured, it has the opposite effect (especially combined with those incongruous topics 😆)
I had assumed it was similar to ISBN, but that is purely my speculation 🤓
Block Suggest, a new feature coming to Pixelfed that allows you to suggest to mutual followers to block a specific account when you block them.
Imagine a Mute, Block and Block & Suggest Button
The recipients will get a special notification that explains the suggested you block them with optional context and on the web ui and official app, you will be able to block or ignore with one tap!
@dansup interesting idea for some use cases, but it seems like it would also escalate interpersonal disputes that don’t need it and/or lead to dog piling
I know one or two places that I think sell 1 pack of hamburger buns per day. So you might be out of luck if anyone else in town wants to make hamburgers 🙃
If you are gonna nitpick authors about an arbitrary overlap percentage in Crossref reports, then don’t run the report including the affiliations, author list, references, standard disclosures, and mandatory statements in the cover letter (not even part of the manuscript!) all counting toward the overlap.
So annoying. Authors are stuck dealing with manuscripts that obviously do not have problems with text borrowing
@clare_hooley yeah that’s really what gets me. They push this work onto the authors, instead of just looking for 2 seconds, yet Elsevier is the one making billions 🙄
