@ClaraListensprechen4 @khird @freemo I've just recently discovered how useful the federated tab is. Anyone aware of developments to apply user-selected filters on it? I'd be interested to help out with developing that, as I think it's a current weakness of the fediverse.

GitHub calls for #FOSS ecosystem to send comments ASAP to MEPs in the EU regarding issues with CRA proposal that will be voted on next week.

Dutch Government officially launches #Mastodon server

Integrating a chatbot w no connection to truth into search, a service people use to learn new info, is a wretchedly bad call that will likely have serious consequences.

IMO we'll look back at this moment with the same cringe we now reserve for NFTs.

Which is not to say "AI" and NFTs are analogous. But the religious fervor and willingness to say any old ungrounded thing in service of hyping this tech is drawing from the same Web3 well.

I offer free tutoring in most college level #STEM courses. Can be online, just random questions, video chat, or even in person.

If anyone needs help learning any STEM topic (even you arent in school), please reach out to me I am always happy to help. If I dont know the subject I can also maybe connect you with someone who does, but I am well versed on most of the basics like #Math, #Biology #statistics #BigData #programming #Chemistry #Medicine #ElectricalEngineering and #RF design.

This rings true, especially this part:

"The truly toxic idea, though, is that Mastodon instances should not only refuse to federate with Threads, but they should refuse to federate with other servers that do federate with Threads. In other words, users should be punished for decisions they have no control over and may not even be aware of, made by the administrators of servers they don’t belong to. I am dead serious when I call this toxic."

@kittywifclaws yesterday on Mastodon someone asked what cool things we learned recently, I said French seams, we talked about what they are and then a person who rescues baby kangaroos told us they use French seams so orphans don't chew the seams and accidentally eat cotton. Now I follow a kangaroo rescue expert. Mastodon is amazing for this.

Comparing the three editions of my textbook, Introduction to Modern Climate Change, 2011 to 2021:

@SerhatTutkal @sociology @edutooters @politicalscience @communicationscholars is anyone here aware of a group for organizational studies or something like that?

Welcome everyone! Some information about #Mastodon for #academics:

1) There are disciplinary groups that you can follow. If you tag them, they share your post with the community. Some examples: @sociology @edutooters @politicalscience @communicationscholars

2) Mastodon's search function only works with hashtags so you should use them (you can also follow them).

3) There are disciplinary and interdisciplinary lists of academics: https://github.com/nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon
You can also easily ask to be added.

Ad blockers are also cybersecurity. Say it with me.

They reduce malvertising, watering hole attacks, and general malicious script execution. It’s not all about you, ad firms.
