Nuclear is out then, as well, because it is neither clean nor affordable (nor safe).

I mention it in my poster as well!
🚀 Bald geht's los zur #DHd2026, allerdings nicht mit einer Rakete, sondern mit dem Zug! 🚆
Das @tcdh@fedihum.org ist wieder mit vielen Beiträgen dabei: ein Panelbeitrag zu Text-Ähnlichkeit in #MiMoText, ein Poster zu abgeleiteten Textformaten, eines zur "Mapping DH"-Wikibase, ein Vortrag zur Evaluation durch LLMs und einer über BERTopics für Krimis, Scifi und Liebesromane.
Infos hier: https://tcdh.uni-trier.de/de/event/das-tcdh-bei-der-dhd2026-wien
Bis bald in Wien!
U.a. mit @cnDuKeli@fedihum.org, Benjamin Gittel, Julia Röttgermann und mir selbst.
Yay, we're going to Korea for #DH2026!!
Just received the news that our short paper on the French crime fiction collection "Le Masque" has been accepted, as well as my poster on the "Mapping DH" initiative! Awesome!
That's all the more wonderful as we recently received funding for a workshop, to take place the week before in Seoul, with Korean colleagues, to investigate suitable data sources to study literary translations from German and French into Korean.
Tomorrow's the day! Our workshop at #LREC2026 on "Leveraging Derived Text Formats to Unlock Copyrighted Collections for Open Science" takes place!
Even if you can't make it to the event, you can see the programme and read the papers in the proceedings volume here:

Ganz besonders freut mich übrigens bei der #DHd2026, dass auch viele unserer Trierer DH-Studierenden hier vor Ort dabei sind und teils sogar im Orga-Team mitmachen oder eigene Vorträge halten. Das ist großartig!
Siehe Vortrag: Julia Alili, "Projektmanagement als Methode", Freitag, Session "Operationalisierung" von 11:00 bis 12:30 im Hörsaal 1.
The Digital Humanities Awards 2025 are open for voting!!
Check out all the nominated resources here: http://dhawards.org/dhawards2025/voting/

Macht es nicht wie ich, verpasst nicht unseren Vortrag zu BERTopics und Keyness!
Heute in der Session "Automatisierung und KI" ab 9:00 (aber unseren Vortrag erwischt ihr auch noch, wenn ihr um 10 Uhr kommt!) im Hörsaal 5.
@cnDuKeli@fedihum.org und Julia Röttgermann sprechen über: "Keyness Measures und BERTopic kombiniert: Eine Distinktivitätsanalyse von Subgenres des französischen Romans".

(Ich sitze leider schon im Zug, aber schön wars mit euch!)
Feels very funny to read this 14 years later!
It's not really a definition, of course, and I would rather speak of the general aspirational value of openness in DH nowadays, but otherwise, I can still live with that statement.

This is the worst part of the whole story!
It makes the wrong party look like they are right, just because they are louder.
The fact that Google, as it seems, keeps blocking (and then reinstating) the initial blog posts, and can do so because they are on blogspot, doesn't help. But court decisions and news coverage are clear !
The only reassuring thing is that the majority of academics who really care and to whom this matters know the truth.

Well, here in Germany, at least in my federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate (what a name, right?), the state's university network provides a Gitlab instance to all university employees.
Yes, it is less visible, but it is certainly working! It also comes with Mattermost and BigBlueButton. And there's a file sharing service using Seafile. All open to out-of-state users as well, if they are invited by a state university member.
It's possible!

@Mareike2405 Ganz viele Grüße an Irakli!
Und ja, seit Iraklis Aufenthalt am @tcdh 2024 hat sich viel getan. Wir waren 2025 an der TSU und haben #ELTeC-geo Pläne geschmiedet, und dieses Jahr im Sommer wird @ClaudiaBamberg wieder in Sachen #FuD und #Briefe dort sein.
No success so far, would appreciate any help!
(Edit: Just to make it explicit: Yes, I have already contacted all three authors by email, and looked in the usual places, including shadow libraries, but with no success. Setting my hopes on inter-library loan now.)

Ein Faktor ist sicherlich, dass in den DH auch Studierende dazu ermuntert werden, bspw. im Kontext von Masterarbeiten oder Hilfskraft-Tätigkeiten, Einreichungen zur Konferenz zu machen.
Außerdem vergibt der @DHd Reisestipendien, immerhin 10 x 500 EUR.
Und wir haben eben einfach großartige, außergewöhnlich engagierte Studierende in dieser Community.

Großartiger Band! Und super, dass es XML, HTML, EPUB, PDF gibt!
Der Import der Referenzen in Zotero funktioniert nicht ganz ideal, however. Den DOI findet man erst im PDF oder XML der Kapitel, nicht in der Web-Sicht eingebettet; und auch da werden leider die Untertitel und Herausgebenden nicht mitgezogen, jedenfalls bei mir.
Das ist Jammern auf hohem Niveau, aber vielleicht doch eine Rückmeldung an Melusina wert.

Awesome! And great that Gephi exists for Windows, Mac and Linux.
But please add a line about installation on Linux to the Quickstart page!
Something like: "On Linux, after the download completes, expand the tarball, navigate to gephi-0.11-1" and run ./bin/gephi` in the Terminal."
This would be so so helpful and make Linux users not feel like second class citizens.
Note that the documentation (so far) has nothing on installation, afaict: https://docs.gephi.org/desktop/

Very true. Sometimes even the landing page of the documentation doesn't really say.

You are probably right. I mean, I know from the abstract that I am going to be disappointed, because they used Scopus data, where e.g. @jcls is not represented, afaik, and limited themselves to English-language sources. The conclusions formulated in the abstract likely follow from those choices, at least to some extent.
But of course I want to be fair and read the paper before drawing any conclusions.

Genau so einen haben wir uns vor einiger Zeit zugelegt. Über 400km reale Reichweite, sehr gut ausgestattet, für den Preis eines neuen Einstiegs-Polos. Nur die Ladeleistung ist nicht ganz auf dem Stand.

This is like asking kids not to leave the house because the car traffic outside is too dangerous.
The solution is to reduce the traffic, and its speed, not to ban kids from leaving the house.
Also, the traffic is dangerous to everyone, not just the kids, even if they might be particularly at risk.
Don't penalize a vulnerable group; treat the problem instead!
On social media, we don't need age limits; we need better enforcement of content moderation rules!

Sounds about right. And the "audience" has a wild (but appropriate) range of expressions between worry, boredom, consternation, exasperation, irritation, concern and sadness. I think this actually makes a good point about mansplaining...

Amazing, I think I can get used to the new quick update cycle!
(Who knows, maybe I'll even try out the text-to-speech feature, though I would much prefer to use a small local model for that. Hope they catch up soon!)

@EF Yes, thanks, I am aware... but this has just come out and I can't find it.
(And sorry everyone, I obviously should have been more explicit about the fact that I have tried all the usual strategies already, before asking here.)

All good points. At @jcls, we're exploring the Markdown route. Not more difficult to write than LaTeX, which is what we currently expect.
But just as easy (and even a bit lighter, resource-wise) to produce PDF (using Typst) and HTML and even some kind of JATS from Markdown than from LaTeX.
Yes, the tables issue is not entirely solved, though grid syntax does help some way, and simple tables are often better in any case.
