@marcelsalathe Thanks for sharing. I was recently checking out the CS50 courses by HarvardX to understand if they are a good starting point for people with a non-CS STEM-degree, who would like to get into software development: https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2023/
They are entertaining and contain good exercises. So if one would like to make fast progress and is willing to dedicate a couple of weeks (full-time!) on the CS50 series courses, I can recommend those as well.

@marcelsalathe This might become a bad thing for office workers in high-income countries. Employers will sooner or later start asking themselves why they are paying high salaries if their workers aren't in the same location anyways.

@suhail Wow... that was quick. Maybe it's a good thing. This way at least a large audience gets to see how absurd this new policy is.

Formatting: There's no text formatting in toots. At least I haven't found anything. However, given the nature of #mastodon, I guess there might be clients that support markdown formatting by interpreting **bold** and *italic* and displaying it appropriately. Is anyone aware of a client that does this?

Clients: There are several options of clients you can use for #mastodon. I'm currently using #tusky. I like the optics and the fact that it's open source software.

@rrhett Thanks for the quick response. Just found this article as well that provides some additional info on #mastodon with regards to privacy and security: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/mastodon-private-and-secure-lets-take-look
