All you #Mastodon sysadmins who upgraded to Mastodon 4.3.0: Have you noticed that after you dutifully upgraded the #Yarn dependency to version 4, a message like this scrolled by:

$ yarn install --immutable<br>➤ YN0065: Yarn will periodically gather anonymous telemetry: https://yarnpkg.com/advanced/telemetry<br>➤ YN0065: Run yarn config set --home enableTelemetry 0 to disable<br>

I for one almost missed this. You may want to do what I did (as user mastodon in /home/mastodon/live):
yarn config set --home enableTelemetry 0<br>

I'm sure the Yarn people think their telemetry is perfectly harmless, but I hope we all agree that telemetry should not be used in the fediverse.

@ScottMGS Not at the moment, I will be looking into it.

What does it look like if you start at 1965? Still bad, I'm sure, but not as ridiculous. Except for Cornell, ivy league schools didn't admit women to their science programs until the mid 1970s. Maybe someone in Europe can tell us what the situation was there.

Team Harris probably didn't intend to focus on Trump's Putin ties this week, but given the stunning nature of the new allegations, Dems had every reason to switch gears.

The result is an effective new ad unveiled overnight. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/m…






As Harris blasts Trump over revelations about his private dealings with Putin, a foreign policy expert explains what the news reveals about Trump’s ties to the global authoritarian right.

One of my favorite #Mastodon features: temporary muting. Useful, e.g., when someone posts a lot about an event you are not interested in. (And I’m not judging: That someone is also me, occasionally.)

Related favourite #Mastodon feature: disabling boosts by a specific account.

Sometimes someone's regular posting is super interesting, but their boosting is overloading my timeline.

Nature is coming for America - UnHerd


#politics #society #environment #climate

The inference of this cautionary tale is perhaps that we’re all only as radically independent as technological buffers against the elements (and bears) make us. Radical individualism, ironically, works best in a context already pre-cleansed of the kind of material threats that require human cooperation and ingenuity to overcome.
