@Mastodon is changing course when it comes to how people join the platform. In late 2022, the team decided to send sign-ups directly to their server in order to make onboarding more straightforward. But that didn't align with the promise of decentralization. Here, Community Director @haubles explains the new approach to server recommendation, along with some other ways Mastodon is helping build community.

"Communities across the US are winning against environmental racism.
In Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and more, residents are packing council meetings, collecting signatures, and using their collective power to push back against destructive AI data centers. Our future will be written by us, not tech profits."

Floppy disks were introduced in the early 1970s and in the two decades before they became obsolete, tens of billions were produced, most of which ended up in landfills, long-forgotten storage, or libraries. Archivist Leontien Talboom has been working for the past few years to preserve the floppy disks in the Cambridge University Library, collaborating with retro-computing enthusiasts. She talked to @PopularScience about the project.
"According to new research from consulting firm Robert Half reviewed by Fast Company, nearly a third (32%) of hiring managers say that their organizations eliminated a role or let someone go primarily due to productivity gains from AI or automation, and then later rehired for that same role."
"At Microsoft, managers are including questions about AI use in performance discussions. Employees are supposed to quantify how they are using AI tools in their workflows."

China's CO2 has now been 'flat or falling' for 21 months.
* Down in 2025
* Still below Mar 2024
* Clean energy wave a key factor
It’s very likely that China’s co2 emissions have peaked. Years ahead of schedule!
The largest industrial power in human history has decoupled development from carbon emissions. It's the climate story of the century.
Microsoft is required to regularly provide U.S. officials with its plan for keeping government data safe from hacking. Yet a copy of the tech giant’s security plan obtained by ProPublica makes no reference to the company’s China-based operations.

An Algorithm Deemed This Nearly Blind 70-Year-Old Prisoner a “Moderate Risk.” Now He’s No Longer Eligible for Parole.
—
A Louisiana law cedes much of the power of the parole board to an algorithm that bars thousands of prisoners from a shot at early release. Civil rights attorneys say it could disproportionately harm Black people — and may even be unconstitutional.

Most organizations don’t have a tooling problem.
They have a knowledge quality issue.
Documentation grows. Teams change.
Without structure and ownership, knowledge becomes hard to trust and reuse.
That’s why some teams move from simple wikis to knowledge systems
designed to scale, adapt, and survive change.
