    Colleagues who’re not striking should consider contributing the equivalent of 10 days lost pay to this crowdfunder. The aim is to sue managers of for mismanagement & self-enrichment. So at least we’re all contributing to save our pensions (& they should join the strike).

    🚨You *can* help stop the pension cuts on April 1st! We won our first hearing to sue the directors of USS. Next hearing, March 28th. Please SHARE! If we win we can get an injunction + end this dispute. £Billions at stake; Donate £50. 👇🏾👇👇🏿

    The plot thickens… yikes

    Replying to @UKRI_News
    Dear . Dear . Three years ago, after receiving the 12th harassing email in as many days from you I sent a tweet parodying the email style. My tweet was not directed at a specific person and I had no idea ResearchFish had a twitter account.

    “a zero tolerance policy towards abuse aimed at our company”, artificial legal persons have feelings too y‘know.

    A good software company cares not just about the customer who pays the bills, but also the people who use its software. Here treats academics as a rabble of disobedient children to be disciplined, rather than partners in a data collection exercise.

    Tweet from @Researchfish saying "We understand that you’re not keen on reporting on your funding through Researchfish but this seems quite harsh and inappropriate. We have shared our concerns with your funders."

    The UK government could do something privacy-preserving like an IRMA credential, but I bet they won’t.

    The UK gov’t is proposing to assign everyone an individual digital certificate, for which they are the root authority; to enable any kind of mundane everyday transaction to be verified* through 3rd party providers. *tracked, analysed, profiled, monetised

    All this table shows is that offline brute-force resistance and human memorability are incompatible in almost all cases. We need well designed rate limiting mechanisms, preferably combined with multi-factor authentication.

    fam, how do we feel about passwords? I am more of a passphrase kind of guy. Someone made a comment that staying at a complex 8 + MFA and block of common passwords gives you the same protection as forcing 12 chr. Thoughts?

    One step senior academics can take to celebrate is to support colleagues who are taking industrial action to force higher education employers to address the gender gap. Early-career researchers are the worst hit and shouldn’t be left to fix the problems themselves.

    On we want to pay tribute to the amazing women in further & higher education But we also want to remind education bosses of the shocking gender pay gaps they oversee Instead of posting about , employers must address this shocking inequality

    It was probably right to stop the project but despite its problems, I still did like the scorecard. For example it provided a set of accepted criteria by which systems could be assessed. I used it for this purpose in this article
