Still need to figure out a way to host this on my home server without compromising all my infra lol 😆
Ok website template overhauled. Let me know what you think : https://jeremyforest.com. Still a bunch of things to do but wanna try to do some more regular small-ish blog post.
Marcel Stimberg@brembs @neuralreckoning @MarkHanson @jonny It's not exactly what Dan remembers (and probably a different article), but this article has a number of quotes going into that direction (re U.S. News university ranking), e.g.:
> That is one of the most distinctive features of the U.S. News methodology. Both its college rankings and its law-school rankings reward schools for devoting lots of financial resources to educating their students, but not for being affordable. Why? Morse admitted that there was no formal reason for that position. It was just a feeling. “We’re not saying that we’re measuring educational outcomes,” he explained. “We’re not saying we’re social scientists, or we’re subjecting our rankings to some peer-review process. We’re just saying we’ve made this judgment. We’re saying we’ve interviewed a lot of experts, we’ve developed these academic indicators, and we think these measures measure quality schools.”

Tech Working GroupDear #neuromatchstodon we are gonna deploy an update that includes filtering duplicate boosts in the local timeline :). The server might blink for a moment, and as usual please report any issues that you see with the instance!!!
jonny (good kind)Anyone up for a little light #CodeReview? Glitch has an option to show boosts in the local TL, which I think is lovely for small instances like ours, it really helps new ppl get oriented in the fedi. The problem is public feeds dont filter duplicate boosts in the same way that home feeds do, so you end up seeing the same boost lots of time.
I wrote a patch to only show the most recent boost in public TLs, but since I am a relative noob with postgres, SQL, and rails, and since it touches core feed functionality id love it if someone took a look before we deploy on our instance (after some field testing we'll pull upstream). I tried to make it as contained as I could so other masto forks could merge it in too, if ya interested.

https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Filter_Duplicate_Boosts It's annoying to see the same boost in the local TL all the time. This PR filters public feeds so only the most recent boost of a post is disp...

What are you waiting? Time to download, upgrade, and enjoy all these new features (and bug fixes).
If you haven't already, please consider signing our petition to the German Rectors Conference, asking to move all university social media presence in Germany to #mastodon and the #fediverse:
Boosts appreciated!
Open letter to the German Rectors' Conference (HRK) on the use of social media - Online petition
We call on universities and other higher education institutions in Germany to shut down their accounts on X (formerly Twitter) as soon as possible. Their presence on X/Twitter is incompatible with the universities' remit to provide information because disinformation and political smear campaigns are condoned there. At the same time, a presence should be established on Mastodon (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(Software)) and other Fediverse (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse) server
my dogs i cannot lie when i say that i have seriously investigated to the brink of implementation the possibility of doing adversarial metadata manipulation and paper farming under a pen name, the attack surface is the size of the sun https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03865-y
