Uh-huh. They took big $$ from previous investor Andreessen, who based on his own utterances appears to be a racist fascist. I’m personally not confident, as a previous contributor to the site, that being beholden to right-wing investors is a good thing - on any level. It sure didn’t work out with <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> did it?

Celebrating 10 years of WG #DigitalPublishing @DHd, we’re excited to share the anthology "Reputation without #Paywall" [ger]. It explores scholarly reputation in the #OpenAccess era. Check out the contributions (published incrementally): https://doi.org/10.26298/1981-5838
Melusina PressReputation ohne Paywall? | Melusina PressDer vorliegende Sammelband enthält Beiträge zu den Ergebnissen der Tagung "Reputation ohne Paywall", die von der *AG Digitales Publizieren* des Fachverbandes *Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum* im Oktober 2024 in Darmstadt, anlässlich ihres 10-jährigen Bestehens, veranstaltet wurde. Die versammelten Beiträge entwickeln neue Perspektiven auf Funktion, Wirkungsweise und Struktur von Reputation als sozio-kulturelles Organisationsmittel im Wissenschaftssystem vor dem Hintergrund von Entwicklungen wie der digitalen Transformation oder *Open Access*. Diskutiert wird zum einen die Selbst-Referenzialität des Reputationssystems, die zu einer Verzerrung der vermeintlich abgebildeten wissenschaftlichen Leistung führt sowie strukturelle Innovationsprozesse erschwert. Zum anderen werden alternative Reputationsmodelle entworfen und Strategien entwickelt, wie *Open Access* Akteure sich erfolgreich im gegenwärtigen Reputationssystem positionieren können.
On Friday, June 6 at 19:00 I’ll be the guest of “Generation Postdigital" together with the legendary @GIFmodel at the @stadtbibliothekstuttgart am Mailänder Platz to talk about “Tactical Publishing - How to publish in the 21st Century?”

Um, excuse me?
"DRM means that when you buy an eBook from your NOOK or from bn.com, you own that copy forever..."
That is not what DRM means. Period.
DRM is about imposing control, not bestowing ownership.
This is just blatant misinformation from Barnes & Noble.

While we're talking about Google's move to AI search, here are my thoughts on what it will do to the Web. This blog post is about a year old, but the central argument still stands: The beauty of the Web is its interconnected nature. AI will take a flamethrower to all that.

NEW BOOK: Tactical Publishing! I’m very excited to announce my new book “Tactical Publishing, Using Senses, Software, and Archives in the Twenty-First Century”, now published by MIT Press. It has taken many years to research and finalise the book, which I hope will be a solid sequel to "Post-Digital Print", and now it is finally in print. A huge thank you to all the generous people who have supported me over the years (the list is long), especially Ryan Bishop, Jussi Parikka, who along with Scott Rettberg and David Garcia has written very generous praise, my fabulous colleagues Jo Turney and Daniel Cid Moragas at Winchester School of Art - University of Southampton, Sean Cubitt and Doug Sery at MIT Press and Nick Montfort who wrote the beautiful foreword!

#eBooks #DigitalPublishing #Surveillance #BigTech: "Major publishers are giving Big Tech free rein to watch what you read and where, including books on sensitive topics, like if you check out a book on self care after an abortion. Worse, tech and publishing corporations are gobbling up data beyond your reading habits—today, there are no federal laws to stop them from surveilling people who read digital books across the entire internet.
Reader surveillance is a deeply intersectional threat, according to a congressional letter issued last week from a coalition of groups whose interests span civil rights, anti-surveillance, anti-book ban, racial justice, reproductive justice, LGBTQ+, immigrant, and antimonopoly. Our letter calls on federal lawmakers to investigate the harms of tech and publishing corporations’ powerful hold over digital book access."
