I attended two meeting last week, both about #OpenScience: first the Beilstein Open Science symposium, followed by the Google Summer of Code Summit. Great meetings!

Goodbye #wikidata-cli, hello #wikibase-cli!
+ Better support for non-Wikidata Wikibase instances
+ Merge and delete entities from the command-line
+ Added OAuth support

#wikidatajs -> #wikibasejs #HarderBetterAgnostikerStronger #cli

see change logs -> https://github.com/maxlath/wikibase-cli/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#800---2019-10-01

and of course you can also nominate wikibase-cli for #WikidataCon Tool Award ;) -> https://wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program/WikidataCon_Award

83 people now signed the feedback on Plan S (how scholarly publishing will look like 5 years from now) which is to be submitted tomorrow. We have about 30 hours left. If you care about Open Science, please have a look at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14GycQnHwjIQBQrtt6pyN-ZnRlX1n8chAtV72f0dLauU/edit?usp=sharing

Because #openscience is more than an #openaccess license and business model.

If you find Open Science more important than Open Access, then read this:

#Mastodon 2.7 is released 🎉

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/01/mastodon-2.7/

after data citations, software citations are starting to get serious too now, it seems. Results by the Zenodo team: http://blog.zenodo.org/2019/01/10/2019-01-10-asclepias/

Mind blown. Just found out about this "font" that takes advantage of subpixel rendering to be absurdly small: http://www.msarnoff.org/millitext/

(Quotes added since the color information is critical; i.e., it's not simply an outline like typical typefaces.)
