My last article, written with my colleague and friend Jorge León, for @ACMEJournal.
In it, we analyse how #urban #commons fit into European public law, questioning the viability of the 3rd way (neither public nor private).

Elionor Ostrom is probably the #scholar who has influenced my work the most.
Ostrom studied how common pool resources such as fisheries, forests, grazing fields, water... thrived and were governed.

With her work, Ostrom proved that other forms of governance beyond the private and the public spheres were not only possible but we're also more efficient and even desirable. #commons

Today, Ostrom's work on the #commons has been adapted to many other contexts, such as #software #culture #health outer space or, #cities, which is my preferred domain and what I usually write about (#UrbanCommons).

How do we get from the AI controversies that we currently have to the AI controversies that we need? Today we published our workshop report "Shifting AI controversies” evaluating ESRC-funded #ShapingAI project findings @uniofwarwick warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/…

Also, as a reminder: we are still accepting responses to our survey about motivations and experiences of #mastodon users (even -especially- if you created an account there and never used it).

Lovely video on some historic moments for #DataVisualization . Will be a nice material for the motivational sessions on teaching dataviz with @GregMcI , @gobbo_beatrice and @drccamara

Data visualisation helps us to understand the world. It also has the power to change it. Watch our latest video with @bbcideas, narrated by @AdamRutherford, and explore five graphs that changed the world:

Researchers' relying on #Twitter data

Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead 🧵

I'm divided with this: whereas I share the diagnose, I believe this could even be counterproductive (despite good intentions).
Let me explain why :👇🧵
6 Feb 2023
We at @transparenttech wrote an open letter to call on Twitter to keep their API free to access.
Read the letter at independenttechresearch.org/…

And it is also because of that that I believe that signing this can be counterproductive. Last thing I’d like to happen is to perpetuate the status quo by making universities or governments to pay a private company in hands of a despotic CEO ...

... to do something that could be better done elsewhere or differently. Here I’m totally opposing the @transparenttech and I'd advocate for not trying to perpetuate a system that is already broken and try to build a more equitable, commons-based one, which is already here!
