Wonderful post arguing that "Societal challenges and big qualitative data require a new era of methodological pragmatism"

"Methodological pragmatism presents us with an open invitation to rethink methods not as isolated sets of procedures used to uncover ‘true knowledge’ but as tools we co-create and use in order to expand our possibilities for thinking and acting in our contemporary environment of complex problems and burgeoning big qualitative data"

Dear @Mastodon community, is there a way to hide replies to posts on my timeline? (I'm using Tusky, but if there's another alternative, glad to hear it).

One of the things that bugs me is that my timeline gets swamped with replies, which without the context are pretty much irrelevant. I would rather just see the original posts and then decide for myself if I want to see the rest of the discussion.

"Some people might see the use of ChatGPT in writing grant proposals as cheating, but it actually highlights a much bigger problem: what is the point of asking scientists to write documents that can be easily created with AI? What value are we adding? Perhaps it is time for funding bodies to rethink their application processes."
