I put together a decision chart about my own personal usage of content warnings. This is offered solely as a useful heuristic and not at all a mandate about how you should choose to mark your own posts.
Not included in this tree is NSFW because that felt obvious.
UPDATE: no need for further boosting. Thank you everyone!
My boss, Matt Mullenweg, the boss of Automattic, owner of Tumblr, is looking for ex-Twitter employees for Tumblr, saying,
"we're putting on a fast track to see how they can help super-charge Tumblr. We can't absorb thousands of people, but I'd be open to hiring entire teams if they already work great together."

The French crypto broker Coinhouse announced that they would be suspending withdrawals from their crypto "savings account" product. Coinhouse partners with Genesis to offer the service, and Genesis recently suspended their service due to the FTX collapse. As a result, services that relied on Genesis, including Gemini and now Coinhouse, are halting their own services as the dominoes continue to fall.
Insightful piece on taking the long view on scholarly infrastructure.
"...we’re still hearing calls to develop basic research management infrastructure. Why hasn’t it already been developed? Part of the problem is that very little work has been done to quantify the value of research infrastructure"
Why is it so difficult to understand the benefits of #research #infrastructure? https://www.digital-science.com/blog/2022/11/benefits-of-research-infrastructure/

I'm loving it here on Fosstodon, but I'm very impressed and excited about the work @nova and @jerry are doing at Hachyderm and Infosec Exchange.
If you're into tech, you're very lucky and not short of excellent options. I imagine a lot more top quality servers will spring up as time goes on, especially within the tech space, and that's what makes the fediverse beautiful.
It's very refreshing to see social media run by professionals, not CEOs and businessmen.
It’s very nice to see you, sleep. It’s been a while.
Good night all.
