Really interesting new paper from some of my former @GESIS colleagues in "Big Data & Society": "From (almost) open to heavily restricted data access – The development of the Twitter/X developer policies"

Brilliant piece: "What matters is not the books themselves, but the thinking they reward. They cultivate a taste for compression over depth, for transferable lessons over context, for confidence over uncertainty. They attract people who want the world to be legible in a handful of rules, who […]

Came across this via Julia Rohrer on Bluesky. Great tool to #checkyourprivileges . Would also be super-interesting to factor in some personal demographic variables. What if you were born male/female or 10 years earlier/later?

If everyone's doing it, why shouldn't your #terminal get its own year in review?

A screenshot of a webpage with the title "Terminal Wrapped". The first thing visible is a colorful column chart showing terminal usage over time. A column chart with the title "Your Top Commands in 2025". The chart shows that 'l' is the most used command, followed by 'git status' and 'cd Desktop'. A chart that shows at what time of day the terminal was used. It shows a distribution of usage across weekday and time of day (0–24 hours). There is a gap between 3 and 10 o'clock and low activity on weekends.
