Mastodon 4.4, now available, has a small setting that’s a big deal. See Administration/Server Settings/Discovery, “Allow external sites to see your Mastodon server as a traffic source”.

It means that every time you post a link to a site, that site is going to see as many hits as the number of instances that you have followers on, and those hits are going to be labeled as coming from Mastodon.

This is going to seriously increase Fediverse visibility. Get your instance admin to turn it on!

모기도 목이 탄다···폭염·마른장마에 서울선 10년새 ‘반토막’ www.khan.co.kr/article/2025... 서울이 너무 더워서 모기가 살기에도 적합하지 않은 환경이 되었다고. "모기도 열사병에 걸린 모양새다. 최근 서울의 한낮 최고기온이 37도에 육박하는 등 폭염이 이어지고, 밤에는 열대야가 지속되자 모기가 활동하기 어려워졌다. 모기는 25~28도에서 가장 활발히 활동한다. 기온이 높아질수록 수명이 짧아지고 32도를 넘으면 살기 어려워진다."

For the first time, a robot has performed a lifelike surgery without human help. Designed by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, it can adapt to complexities on the fly and self-correct when things don't go as expected. We're one step closer to the fast-approaching world of robotic surgery. Hear from the researchers themselves about their journey to creating a realistic surgical robot. spectrum.ieee.org/star-autonom

It's just so goddamed awful. Azeem Ghorayshi used to be the person who took on the entrenched and institutionalized violence in academic research environments, but now she's the person who bullies trans kids and lobbies the state monopoly on violence to join her in making life hell for literal children.

Firefox対応サイトが減っていっているの、もしかしてGAをETPの「厳格」モードでブロックしているから説を思いついた

この事情を知らなくてGAを見てると実数以上にFirefoxからのアクセスが減少しているので、切っていいと勘違いされてそう

わざわざFirefoxを使うような人間は標準設定じゃ満足しないだろうし

⚠️ If you see a post or DM saying "your account is currently suspended for verification purposes", do NOT click on the link. It is a scam.

Fediverse servers do not ask people to verify their identity. There is an optional self-verification system, but that's just for those who want to use it. No one is ever asked to do it.

If you are in ANY doubt about ANY official-looking message, contact your own server's admin directly using their public email address on your server's website's "About" page.

Screenshot of the scam message, it says "Your account is currently suspended for verification purposes, action required, please proceed with the verification using the link below." followed by a link to a dubious website. This image has been overlaid with a red X and the caption "Fake, do not click!"

Privacy Expectations in Federated Protocols
by @fionafokusfiona :loading:
"Exemplified by the recent Pixelfed vulnerability (fokus.cool/2025/03/25/pixelfed) I'll summarize how incomplete or wrong implementations can violate our expectations on how privacy is treated. Afterwards there is room for an open discussion on how to handle these problems on a protocol and community level."

At least for Germany and the DACH region in general, I don't get that impression.

We still use the ICD-10 in Germany and as far as I remember, the DSM-5 criteria are mostly the same, or at least pretty similar.

Even when we finally switch to the ICD-11 criteria at some point, the doctors doing the diagnostic will still mostly be the same people, now convinced, that they need to be even more restrictive, because of tiktok.

Climate change

At the rate Toronto summer weather seems to be going, my bike club¹ probably should start changing what rides are scheduled in July in various programs so that as much as possible the rides are shaded, near the lake, and shorter. Normally we ramp up the distance over the summer, peaking in late August and early September, but dialing it back in July may be increasingly necessary to avoid outright cancelling lots of rides.

Holy cow, as an American, I wasn't aware of the Horizon IT scandal. ~1,000 postal workers were wrongfully prosecuted for theft and other crimes, imprisoned, and forced to repay tens of thousands of pounds. 13 of them committed suicide! But it was an IT error! AI will make this worse.
