Seasonal snow cover disappeared at the #Écrins nivôse (Bonnepierre Glacier) yesterday, June 25, with an exceptional temperature of 17°C at ~3000 m (!) 😱
Last year at the same period, there was still around 2m50 of snow on the ground! ❄️

The publisher has cut their costs by outsourcing to this company, the company has cut their costs by using AI/low-paid staff instead of paying for a proper job, while I’ve spent hours & hours fixing the manuscript, so all the extra labour from cost-costing has fallen on me, the unremunerated author

I just finished reviewing Mesa for @joss-openjournals.bsky.social, took me more than a full day of work 🤷
I may be slow, still the issue of reviewing is not that it takes time but rather that for-profit journals expect us to do so for free while they make huge margins ❌
