@ryanfb FWIW I've installed first party isolation, account containers, and facebook containers and so far like what I see. Thanks.
A note if you’ve mostly been following today’s SCOTUS ruling via headlines—it only seems to protect location *history*, and not e.g. Stingray use at protests: “the decision didn’t address whether police can use tower data to track someone in real time”

Basically, highlight RTI needs a light source at varying angles, but a fixed distance from the subject. Often this is done with a fixed length of string attached to a flash on a monopod. But if an app could instead just turn on a phone's flash when it's at the right distance…
Crazy idea I had today while brainstorming potential #RTI/#PTM setups: an iPhone app that uses ARKit to measure camera distance and provide the flash for highlight RTI.
This might be a stretch, but anyone on here as an employee inside Microsoft, Google, and/or Amazon that are working inside to petition them to break their relationship with ICE? DM me as I know someone working on a story about it and would like to connect you #TechWorkers #Organizing
This digital humanities, or as they call it, mobilized humanities, project uses web technology and research know-how to make the powerful point that our borders are everywhere.

“If you want to make a safe place to create... you have to start by making the most vulnerable people safe first. So you have to take the people who have been most marginalized, most pushed away from conventional tech and say ‘you are going to be at the center of this, you’re going to be the first people we reach out to, to say does this work for you? Does this meet your needs?’”

Tomorrow I will spend my day in Western #Liguria, looking for various kinds of archaeological traces left by our ancestors from the #Paleolithic, together with an international team from the universities of #Genoa and #Montreal. Call me lucky!

The Digital Athenaeus Named Entities Digger now also searches headwords in the DC3 Index of Ancient Greek Lexica! 🎉http://digitalathenaeus.org/tools/KaibelText/named_entities_digger.php (via @Monica_Berti)
And for papyrological abbreviations, there’s always the checklist of editions: http://papyri.info/docs/checklist
Another handy resource for untangling opaque Classics author/work abbreviations is the Classical Works Knowledge Base (CWKB): http://cwkb.org
Go to “Search” and start typing!
For some reason I never thought to look before, but apparently the whole of the Oxford Classical Dictionary abbreviation list is available free online: http://classics.oxfordre.com/page/abbreviation-list/
Useful since some Classics publications will use/follow these abbreviations without ever mentioning it!
There are 2 main rivaling programs to handle your scientific references. One is free/libre software (#Zotero), the other is not (#Mendeley). Guess which one you should use?
Hint: if you use the closed source one, it will encrypt your article-database and not give you the possibility to decrypt and export it.
Are there any #biblical #scholars I'm connected to on here? I'm looking for the original word in Matthew, which gets commonly translated as "fulfilled" when referring to how Christ's birth (etc) fulfills prophecies.
