@mobiuscog I have been following LB for some time now. And I'm rooting for them, but LB is faaaar from being ready to ship. And lack of external extensions (notably #adblocker and #password #managers), plus no mobile version will make it really hard for them to gain an audience.
I'd like to remind you, that there already is a very good, independent browser, that I don't use for this exact reason, despite it being exceptionally good - #DuckDuckGo Browser.

Well-Being in the Library Workplace: A Handbook for Managers is in stock!
I’m thrilled to share that the book I edited, Well-Being in the Library Workplace: A Handbook for Managers, is now in stock. The designers did an amazing job with the cover and the inside. I love the detail of the florals inside the book as well!
Dedication
This book is dedicated to the managers and leaders who strive daily to foster workplaces where employees can thrive, where well-being is prioritized, and where dignity, respect, and collaboration are at the forefront. Your commitment to creating environments where people feel valued and supported is a beacon of hope in an ever-evolving professional landscape.
To the librarians and library staff, many of whom are also managers, who face the dual challenges of navigating burnout, vocational awe, and psychological unsafety while simultaneously leading and supporting their teams. This book recognizes your complex roles and the weight you carry. Your efforts to create healthier, more supportive workplaces, even amidst systemic barriers, are courageous and commendable.
To everyone working toward a future where workplace well-being is not an aspiration but a reality: thank you for your efforts, your courage to challenge the status quo, and your belief that we can do better together. This book is for you.
From the website:
Fostering well-being in today’s library workplaces is no longer a luxury but a necessity, particularly for managers tasked with guiding and supporting their teams. Amidst budget cuts, attempts to ban or restrict books, attacks on library staff online and in-person, and potentially hostile and aggressive patrons, taking care of ourselves and our staff by putting good policies and practices into place is more important than ever. In this book, Newman and her expert contributors will lead you through creating an environment that nurtures the health, satisfaction, and well-being of its workers and helps prevent or reduce the internal factors that create an unhealthy workplace. You will receive actionable advice on
- self-care methods for library leaders at risk of burnout.
- navigating the pitfalls of vocational awe, which can lead to unrealistic expectations and self-neglect;
- setting and recalibrating healthy boundaries;
- approaching difficult conversations by creating spaces for positive staff communication;
- overcoming limited budgets;
- the proper mindset for encouraging realistic performance expectations among employees;
- using recognition, appreciation, and staff professional development as tools for wellness;
- nurturing social connections and collaboration to combat loneliness;
- practical techniques for addressing sensitive issues such as disabilities, confronting anti-fat bias, and moral injury;
- emotional and invisible labor mitigation; and
- self-care methods for library leaders at risk of burnout.

"Professor David Yamada is an internationally recognized authority on workplace bullying. He is a professor of law and the director of the New Workplace Institute at Suffolk University Law School in Boston. It is the primary drafter of model workplace anti-bullying legislation known as the Healthy Workplace Bill, which is serving as a template for law reform efforts in the U.S. He also is the founding board chairperson of the International Society for Therapeutic Jurisprudence, which promotes the application and design of laws, legal procedures, and legal institutions that support psychological health and well-being. Professor Yamada identifies former President Donald Trump as being a classic workplace bully, constantly resorting to ridicule, name-calling, and cruel putdowns in his public and private behavior. These actions are consistent with some of the worst types of workplace bullying. Drawing from the DSM-V, Trump’s behaviors are often called “cluster B” traits or behaviors. Cluster B includes narcissism, sociopathy, emotional dysregulation, impulsivity & attention-seeking."—The Influence Continuum

A question to all #composer collegues (not mainstream music): do you have experience with #managers or #agencies? I had a manager earlier but he quit for good. Why are there so few agencies for musicians that also accept composers?

As #AI steps into managerial roles, do we judge it differently based on gender? A study using RCTs finds that AI #managers —like human ones—face #GenderBiases. Female AI managers, in particular, encounter greater skepticism when denying rewards.

#corporations #managers : "We want you to work as efficiently as possible"
Also corp manager: "we'll also flood you with #email. Also filter rules are disabled for security reasons. Also, we make you jump to 7 flaming hoops every time you want to use a tool you already are proficient with. You also have to use #sap and #sharepoint , our efficiency chapions."
Which one is it? I can either work the way you want me to, or I can work efficiently. The two overlap only a tiny bit.

You understand your #computer. This makes you a member of a #minority. Unless you are going to #volunteer to be someone's #techSupport, do not tell them to do things with their #computers that they do not understand.
My opinion is informed by the thirty or so years I've had #Linux on my personal boxen. I help #boomers run blogs. These are not stupid people, but they struggle with #password #managers. There no way they can operate a Linux system without a fucktonne of support.
