To repeat: There is a "user style" which removes the stripey poles from CWs in Mastodon 4.3, which you can install by for example installing the Stylus browser extension and going to this page:
userstyles.world/style/18496/m…
With this "user style", CWs look like this:

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened Lebanon with “destruction and suffering” akin to that experienced by Palestinians in Gaza if the Lebanese people do not “free” themselves from Hezbollah.
The ominous warning is interpreted widely as a threat to carry out a second genocide and stoke civil war in the already besieged nation.
Israel is currently under investigation by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for genocide in Gaza.

@Claire I do prefer indented content to left-indented content. But at this exact moment, it is more important to me that the margins be consistent than whether they are avatar-indented or left-indented.
(Also, I am now using basic mastodon in left-indented mode because the grouped notifications changes broke the "3.x style" userstyle I was previously using, so Tangerine would not be a step down for me in that sense.)
Some job news to share!
I feel really lucky to be stepping into this (remote-friendly) role, which will let me both return to my roots in libraries and carry forward the work around advancing #OpenScience that I've so enjoyed doing over the past three years at @PLOS.
New Nintendo hardware has just been revealed!

This isn't some third party thing with a Nintendo badge slapped on it, it seems to be an actual Nintendo-developed product. It's possibly the secret "quality of life" Nintendo project that was rumoured in the 2010s.

Whether they're successes or failures, Nintendo's products are always at least interesting and fun. They're always unexpected rather than being a clone of something someone else just did.

Meta is bringing its AI assistant to more countries.
It’ll roll out in more languages and to 21 additional countries by the end of the year, starting today with the UK, Brazil, Guatemala, Bolivia, Paraguay, and the Philippines. The AI assistant currently has almost 500 million active monthly users.
Meta AI is also coming to Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses in Australia and the UK, though the latter is only voice support “to start.”

in reply to mcc • • •Update: It has now been explained to me by @wgahnagl that the "user style" above can be pasted by an instance admin into the "custom CSS" box ( screenshots from: librepunk.club/@wgahnagl/11327… ) to have it apply to the entire instance.
I have also just learned of, uh, this alternative: mastodon.ie/@davey_cakes/11327…
And this interesting radically different approach in "Tangerine", which has the nice property of implicitly communicating to new users what a "content warning" is: nileane.fr/@nileane/1118177683…
