Seriously, I believe we really need to stop trying to prevent meteors from hitting Earth. Humans have run their course and it is time to etch-a-sketch this motherfucker.


Body of missing Indian journalist found in septic tank


Summary

Indian journalist Mukesh Chandrakar, 32, known for reporting on corruption, was found dead in a septic tank in Chhattisgarh on 3 January after going missing on New Year’s Day.

Police arrested three suspects, including two relatives, while contractor Suresh Chandrakar, a key suspect, is on the run.

Authorities suspect blunt-force trauma, and Chandrakar’s reporting via his YouTube channel Bastar Junction has drawn attention. Local journalists protested, demanding justice and accountability for the killing.

Attacks on journalists in India are common, with 3-4 reporters killed annually for their work, according to Reporters Without Borders.






Introduction - Hello & Welcome


Zuckerberg has now apparently burned the last bridges to the good side of the Force and wants to go to hell together with his rich friends, religious fundamentalists and other Nazis. In the hope that one or two brave souls will make their way out of the meta-molloch and into the fediverse, I am starting an attempt here to make myself findable for them.

There will be a lot of content here about canoeing, geese and other pleasant things and I look forward to a lively exchange.

Hello, I'm here for basically the same reasons. My mom asked me about alternatives to "crackbook" today too.

Hi, yeah, what a bummer. Let's hope for the best. I've been on Mastodon for a long time, but I'm also still on Dings because of all the groups there. But not at this price ...

New server


I have moved Friendica.World to a new server. Now I'm sure the server performance isn't causing the worker issue :-)

Hello, I just signed up but I can't seem to set my password? It keeps telling me "Login failed" when I attempt it.
in reply to Alex Panayotopoulos

I've sorted it now. What might have happened is that copying the password out of the email included a tab character. I'll submit a bug report.
in reply to Helen Jojo Blackforest

What I ended up having to do is copy and paste into notepad, delete the tab character, and then re-copy. Not ideal!

Thanks mate, all my older posts have propagated to the rest of the world!



The Hidden Profit Machine Behind Academic Publishing: A Call for Reform




The Hidden Profit Machine Behind Academic Publishing: A Call for Reform


In the world of academic publishing, a startling economic paradox exists that challenges the very foundations of scientific dissemination. The "big five" commercial publishers—Elsevier, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, Springer Nature, and SAGE—have built billion-dollar empires with profit margins rivaling tech giants, all while relying on the unpaid labor of researchers and public funding. This system, which some critics liken to a racket, sees academics conducting research, writing articles, and managing peer review processes without compensation, only for publishers to sell these works back to the same institutions that produced them. This introductory paragraph sheds light on a pressing issue in scientific communication, raising questions about the sustainability and ethics of current academic publishing models and overall, the core of its business model.
