Wow! From a social media perspective, there's a lot of projects on Geminispace that look really appealing!
1. Station: a Gemini social media platform that supports TLS auth
gemini://station.martinrue.com/
2. The Midnight Pub: a social blogging/gathering ground for gemini users
gemini://midnight.pub/
3. Newswaffle: a tool that converts HTTP news pages into gemtext
gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/waffle.cgi
This will be fun!

EU warns Musk that Twitter faces ban over content moderation.
I like the sound of nature at night, but sometimes you get a death metal cricket that just shreds outside your window. If you've ever gone outside to find, and shoe away this raging cricket with a flashlight, eagerly searching through the grass, you would know it seldom ends in success. Later we are often washed with a feeling of ridiculousness. If the cricket is persistent in 'one upping' the sound of a fully spooled jet engine nightly, would we destroy the whole yard? If we did, and it simply moved to the neighbors yard, would we build a giant wall and disown the neighbor? Probably not. As the cricket problem grows, we would eventually need to work together.
How do you think this applies to Mastadon?
Do you have advice on how to silence the renegade crickets of social media?
After reading the book "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, I am wondering if intelligence is the main factor to achieve power?
There beyond what other factors are necessary to create the same conditions as on the farm? And easy is to apply the construct to real world situations? Like could one say that any group of individuals, if the conditions were met, have a very likely chance to achieve the farm construct.
Here's a scatterplot of health spending per capita (x axis) and life expectancy (y axis) in OECD countries. The lines represent averages.
One country sits alone in the bottom right quadrant due to its much higher health spending and below-average life expectancy.
One of the big mistakes people make, over and over again, is relying on technological determinism.
That is, thinking the architecture of the technology will preserve the topology of the network.
Mastodon is Open Source. It's built with open standards.
This is necessary but not sufficient to keep the network decentralized.
We're going to need social and legal structures, plus cultural norms, that counterbalance Metcalfe's law, which pushes the network towards centralization.

Today I got to use the math behind statistics to build a function for work.
Summary:
Practice: 1
I am a strong proponent of leaving this planet better behind than when I arrived on it. Thus to get the most bang for a lifetime my key focus is #longevity which I attempt to achieve with #nutrition specifically #plantbased.
Longevity is good and all as long as you are not frail and weak. Ideally would be to die young at an old age. Thus I incorporate tactics from #biohacking and #primalfitness. Additionally I am an advocate of #wildcrafting, which is a super set of #herbalism.
Studied many fields of science like maths or statistics, though the constant was always computer science.
Currently working as a fullstack web developer, though prefer to call myself a #SoftwareCrafter.
The goal of my side projects is to practice #GreenDevelopement meaning to create mainly static websites. The way the internet was intended to be.
On the artistic side, to dub all content under the Creative Commons license. Thereby, ideally, only using tools and resources that are #FLOSS #OpenSource. #nobot
