Die Kolleg:innen der UB der TU München haben ihren #Software-Vergleich zur #Literaturverwaltung wieder einmal aktualisert. Die Programme #EndNote, #Citavi und #CitaviWeb, #JabRef, #Papers, #Paperfile, #Mendeley und #Zotero werden nach Kategorien wie technische Voraussetzungen, Datenimport, Zitieren, gemeinsame Bearbeitung und Usability verglichen.

Die UB der @tu_muenchen hat den Softwarevergleich #Literaturverwaltung aktualisiert. Sehr hilfreich, wenn man sich einen Überblick über die Funktionen von #Zotero, #Citavi, #Mendeley, #EndNote, #JabRef, #Papers und #Paperfile verschaffen möchte: https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/1316333

I've just reviewed Csaba Szabo's ''Unreliable: Bias, Fraud, and the Reproducibility Crisis in Biomedical Research'.

It's a tour-de-force through how most biomedicine research results are impossible to reproduce, how the field is corrupted by fraud, and what some real scientists are doing to counter all of this.

“The GEOROC Database (Geochemistry of Rocks of the Oceans and Continents) is a comprehensive collection of published analyses of igneous and metamorphic rocks and minerals. It contains major and trace element concentrations, radiogenic and nonradiogenic isotope ratios as well as analytical ages for whole rocks, glasses, minerals and inclusions. Metadata include geospatial and other sample information, analytical details and references….
Current content of GEOROC:
• 22,750 papers
• 685,660 samples
• 2,680,100 analyses
• 39,334,100 single data values…”

I've checked out @bluebuild tonight, and I find it really, really cool. I'm now running a system with:

- The official* set of #GNOME Core apps installed by default, most of them as Flatpaks from #Flathub
- * #Showtime and #Papers instead of their old counterparts, and #Decibels
- The full GNOME wallpaper collection supplanting Fedora's branded ones
- No Firefox RPM
- No Fedora Flatpak repository

Anyone else using the image would in theory get the same experience out of the box. Pretty neat!

For those who like #papers, here’s the #deepseek one:

Reading this is such a joy. There is real dedication in optimizing the training data and method to yield maximum output performance. This is real technological innovation.

Silicon Valley on the other hand has had their thought corrupted by economic & political power. When you’re big you start to order people around and they start being scared of being critical of you. Being big ends up being the only target.

Die ersten Paprika sind schon aus dem Keimregal raus und auf den Pflanztischen angekommen. Bald werden ihnen die Tomaten Gesellschaft leisten.

This has given me a reading list.
