Posit/RStudio is partnering with Palantir which has ties to Cambridge Analytica & supports oppressive surveillance by ICE and other agencies. Very disturbing development for the #opensource community!

What a job! I'm tired just reading the abstract!

Colleagues - can anyone recommend a simple #project-management software tool that allows a good overview of (science) projects (gantt charts, people involved, grant sum, etc.) across reserach groups or departments, with multi-user access - but isn't geared towards intrusive task management (we e.g. tried Asana and didn't like it)?

@kasw - Thank you - i will have a look at lists. But to add an account to a list, I need to already follow them, right? So they will still clutter my "Home" feed - or do I misnuderstand how this works?

One difficulty I encounter at #Mastodon compared to #twitter is that if I follow prolific accounts (e.g. BioRxiv - @biorxivpreprint, Guardian @TheGuardian_uk, ...). They totally swamp my feed. So I unfollowed, but not following interesting accoutns also seems a bad solution. How do others deal with this? #twittermigration
