New breach: A forum post this week alleged millions of LinkedIn profiles scraped and leaked. On investigation, the data was found to be both scraped public data and email addresses constructed from individuals' names. 14% already in @haveibeenpwned. More: https://t.co/lV6PeISFYx

For X Premium users, the company will give an option to provide a government ID & a selfie image for verification purposes. The company may extract biometric data from both the government ID & the selfie image for matching purposes, the company told CNN.

As of Sept 29, X will collect new user data including "employment and educational history, as well as biometric data. The company also plans to use that data in new ways, most importantly to train AI. Have this in mind before you hand over your data to X." https://t.co/NdH2JkdE6o

@NeSuivezPasSVP @SatuLeppane @AmericanFietser I am always surprised when somebody says that Finns lack freedom. This is just an index of Freedom, but it is one kind of measure. Finland is one of the Top Ten countries. Same cannot say about eg. the US, where people emphasise their freedom endlessly. https://t.co/8MegBR1EqS

@AMDziedzic @Finnair @swissportNews Oh NO!! I hope you get your luggage back soon🤞When I recently returned to Australia with @Qantas it took 3 days to get my luggage . Luckily I was a returning home. And I was able to monitor the movements of my suitcase using an AirTag. Still, it was disruptive.

@AMDziedzic @Finnair @swissportNews Sorry to hear that, it is not up to scratch. How many days your luggage has been lost?

@lauratpharmd @awgaffney @DGlaucomflecken I like your sense of humour😁

@awgaffney @DGlaucomflecken That said, whenever he travelled back to the US he weaned himself off coffee. In his opinion there was no drinkable coffee anywhere in the States.

@awgaffney @DGlaucomflecken My friend from the US always says: “If you cannot make it good, make it big” and that applies to many things in the US.

@amaragraps It is amusing to find the US ranked so low (29th), since they consider themselves to be so “free” and prosperous. I expected Australia to be ranked higher (than 15th) and Finland lower (than 1st).

[Dr Elizabeth Gadd @lizziegadd.bsky.social @LizzieGadd]

Really hoping all this outrage over the use of rankings to identify high-potential individuals is going to expose the inability of the rankings to accurately identify anything other than the old, wealthy, white, English-speaking universities in the global north.

In partnership with @RetractionWatch I finally created the list of #hijackedjournals. This list will be regularly updated and open to the public. We inaugurate this new project during #WCRI2022 to address the growing problem of scam journals.
