Hi, I'm Babette. I work in #communications at the University of #Groningen #Library @Bibliothecaris, developing ways to share knowledge across academic and public spaces - hopefully with meaningful impact.

Interested in open and ethical approaches to research communication and how mass #media shape the public sphere.

#Meshtastic is absolutely thriving in the lower North Island, here in Aotearoa New Zealand. Tracking its bloom worldwide, I believe this to be the most successful example of (in the sense of broadly adopted) Internet-independent and community-owned communications infrastructure we have to date.

Here's a map with just a proportion of the nodes, countless others are set to hidden:

“left-leaning pundits are mostly ignoring what left-leaning technologists are doing. I don’t know how to bridge that gap.”

Every time I see some public figure complaining on their YouTube channel, or their blog, or god forbid on twitter itself, about the nightmare of algorithmic social media, how twitter is bad, how instagram is bad or whatever it feels like an Eric Andr…

I find more and more researchers don't respond to emailed media queries -- even when I'm trying to report on their studies. It suddenly occurred to me that maybe some of them don't think the email queries are legit. If you're uncertain (or even if you're just too busy), forward the query to your university/institutional communications/media relations team. They can sort things out.

First time a satellite operator and a wireless carrier have received FCC authorization for a Direct-To-Cell service
Rear of a smartphone. In the background is a view of the night sky with a satellite in orbit.
Satellite connectivity on smartphones can be an incredibly important safety feature, and both phone makers and carriers are working to expand its availability. Now, Starlink’s direct-to-cell service that will be used by T-Mobile now has FCC approval.

The big promise of direct-to-cell satellite service is that you will be able to connect to a satellite just like you currently connect to a cell tower, with your current smartphone, whenever you find yourself in a dead spot. It’s like putting a cell tower in space that you can access at all times.

So, this is actually a huge event. Any ordinary cellphone user, stuck in some rural area (or at sea) where these satellites have coverage, could establish communications as if there was a cellphone tower in range.

It will be very interesting to see how these pan out in terms of more congested areas, and how operating costs compare. I’m thinking too here of some of the extreme electricity load shedding that South Africa experienced, where cell towers had no grid power for up to 6 hours at a time. South African operators have also had very expensive backup batteries being stolen on a regular basis from their terrestrial sites.

When one factors all this in, how do a few satellite units compare? Even for rural communications, due to the reach of the towers, how many towers and interconnectivity infrastructure are required to cover a 200 square kilometre area vs by satellite?

Hmmm... the C-Lion1 fibre optic cable that connects Helsinki in Finland & Rostock in Germany has been cut.... with suspicions falling (immediately) on Russia... The night before a similar link between Sweden & Lithuania was also cut.

So on one hand this looks like a programme of communicative disruption... but one might wonder whether its a sign of the start of something else (my old IR training leads me to pose the Q. at least).

Study finds 'elite' online critics maintain influence even after losing status

When a reviewer loses an "elite" badge on the restaurant review site Yelp, the quality of their reviews declines, but the perceived value of those reviews remains surprisingly high because of how the site displays their status, according to new resea…
