After the 100th time Windows 11 randomly disables "hide taskbar automatically", the OS has the audacity to suggest "turn off hide taskbar to prevent it from hiding automatically."
A post on MS Support suggests users have been lamenting this for years. It is locked without a real answer ๐คก

After all, we already have the first meme-to-real replication journal, "Silence", with an editorial board, manuscripts, an ISSN, and a Google Scholar indexed publication.
I, for one, look forward to seeing how this will develop after the CNY when everybody gets back to their labs/desks...
But I'm not dismissing it as a fad so fast. Who knows, maybe this is where we catch a glimpse of the "when", not "if", true passion-driven, AI-assisted, adaptive, traceable, collaborative research discourse busts the old institutions wide open.
Obviously, the trend is substantially propelled by the use of AI - most manuscripts look like the output of a slightly more sophisticated prompt to a Deepseek or Claude thinking model. If anything, it shines a light on what's really on young researchers' minds.
and ranked by an IF - Ironic Factor.
Meme journals are actively recruiting editors, and I won't be surprised when people jump to the opportunity to peer-review "preprints" for linguistic journal "luggage" or meds journal "Medical Waste" - they are full-texts posted directly to timelines
The trend exploded during the New Year holidays. Not only does the Rubbish journal spring off into 6 sub journals, there are now over 100 new meme journals (jokingly named ๅบๅ"bottom-ranked journals"), indexed in the fictional "Web of Nothing", registered with NOI (Nothing Object Identifier)
or serious topic through an unserious lens (Why Is My Advisor Like That? A Longitudinal Study on Supervisor Volatility and the Thermodynamics of "Telling a Story")
Quietly bubbling during the pre-Chinese New Year holiday stupor, the research-sphere on Red Note started to joke about creating a venue for "scholarly waste" to see sunlight - these can be formal investigations into unserious topics ("Why Are Spies So Camp? A Queer Theory Perspective")
๐งตAll fun and games until your meme journal gets an ISSN
The lightning-fast development of the meme scholarly journal complex on Chinese socials, led by out-of-fucks-to-give young researchers in the meatgrinder ie the legacy academy system, is giving me unmatched dopamine peaks as of late

It has only gotten worse since the last report...
I'm "The Critical Theorist" on the Research Taste Profiler - a silly test I threw together to entertain myself, because once again, I was thinking about the impossibility of research evaluation.
You can try it too, it takes 5 minutes and doesn't collect any data research-taste-profiler.vercel.app

The best time to invest in open infrastructure was 10 years ago the second best time is now
curating the papertrails of authoritarian takeover is the new punk rock - what a time to be alive
Watched the Jurassic world movie (unfortunately) I can never get over how open science makes its debut appearance in a blockbuster and they managed to make it look so cringey/misrepresented ๐ญ
as in, the whole movie is an embarrassment yet the idea as a main motivation did not seem out of place...
An important perspective - strength and integrity through connectivity and mutual flourishing of global open identifier systems and localized/ specialized identifier systems (especially in a time that calls for trust and perseverance in the scholarly community more than ever)
