arXiv.orgTrust and Friction: Negotiating How Information Flows Through Decentralized Social MediaDecentralized social media protocols enable users in independent, user-hosted servers (i.e., instances) to interact with each other while they self-govern. This community-based model of social media governance opens up new opportunities for tailored decision-making about information flows -- i.e., what user data is shared to whom and when -- and in turn, for protecting user privacy. To better understand how community governance shapes privacy expectations on decentralized social media, we conducted a semi-structured interview with 23 users of the Fediverse, a decentralized social media network. Our findings illustrate important factors that shape a community's understandings of information flows, such as rules and proactive efforts from admins who are perceived as trustworthy. We also highlight ''governance frictions'' between communities that raise new privacy risks due to incompatibilities in values, security practices, and software. Our findings highlight the unique challenges of decentralized social media, suggest design opportunities to address frictions, and outline the role of participatory decision-making to realize the full potential of decentralization.

Mmh... #Papers devrait remplacer #Evince en tant que visionneur de documents par défaut à partir de #Gnome 49.
La dernière fois que j'avais testé papers, il y a un an ou deux, il était encore un poil moins fonctionnel qu'Evince ; j'espère que ça s'est arrangé.
La substitution Totem / Showtime a fonctionné ; pourquoi pas celle-ci.

#Vegetative #electron #microscopy” is #nonsense. And yet several scientific #papers have included the phrase over the past few years.
When two papers from the 1950s were digitized, two columns of text may have been read together incorrectly, the “vegetative” from one column smushed up with the “electron microscopy” in the other.
The #researchers discovered the phrase started showing up in responses generated by #OpenAI’s GPT 3.0, which was released in 2020.
