You can use Mastodon's filters feature to customise what is visible on your timeline. Filters can either put stuff behind a warning which you can click open, or hide it completely:

As well as words and phrases you can also filter by emoji, which can be surprisingly useful! For example, if you wanted to hide all Wordle posts you can set a filter to hide posts containing the green square emoji 🟩
What a great bit of reporting. Please give to ProPublica if you can.

Gatekeeper doing the #gatekeeper thing: #Microsoft locks out third-party gaming hardware for #Xbox.
Google has removed a video posted by academic researchers demonstrating how a newly discovered side channel in Apple's A- and M-series CPUs can be used to steal a password.
I thought for sure the removal was a mistake, but a Google representative told me the video was removed for violating a term of service barring "demonstrating how to use computers or information technology to steal credentials, compromise personal data, or cause serious harm to others."
