Another math joke to show off #QOTO 's math rendering. Feel free to share your own jokes!

Remember Sex is fun, its the law!

Let \(f(a) = \sqrt[n]{e^x}\)

\[
\lim_{t\rightarrow\infty} f(a) - \frac{i}{f(t)} = \frac{d}{dx} f(u) \\
\lim_{t\rightarrow\infty} f(a) - \frac{i}{\infty} = \frac{d}{dx} f(u) \\
\lim_{t\rightarrow\infty} f(a) - 0 = \frac{d}{dx} f(u)
\]

Then

\[
\sqrt[n]{e^x} = \frac{d}{dx} f(u) \\
(\sqrt[n]{e^x})^n = \frac{d}{dx} f(u)^n \\
e^x = \frac{d}{dx} f(u)^n \\
\int e^x = f(u)^n
\]

The Math rendering on #QOTO works again (might need to reload your browser and give it a second to catch up the first time).

Here is a little Latex joke to kick it off.

Expand \((a+b)^n\):

\[
(a + b)^n\\
(a\ + \ b)^n\\
(a\quad + \quad b)^n\\
(a\qquad + \qquad b)^n\\
\]

Should we add the color-coded server indicator from the #InstanceTicker themes into the #QOTO default theme (keeping everything else as-is)?

We recently significantly expanded the federation relays for which #QOTO is a member of. This will significantly increase the volume of our federated feed and as such improve results when using our Domain Subscription feature to subscribe to another instance's local timeline as well as account and keyword subscriptions.

We are currently a member of 14 different #fediverse Relays.

The trolley problem

A runaway trolley is heading down the tracks toward five workers who will all be killed if the trolley proceeds on its present course. Adam is standing next to a large switch that can divert the trolley onto a different track. The only way to save the lives of the five workers is to divert the trolley onto another track that only has one worker on it. If Adam diverts the trolley onto the other track, this one worker will die, but the other five workers will be saved.

Should Adam flip the switch, killing the one worker but saving the other five? Vote for your answer.

Fascinating. I was familiar the number of bounces of sliding blocks can be made to represent the digits of #pi, but this adds another twist.

One last notice for the day. The #QOTO search index is being rebuilt. So while you can still do full text searches here it will be a day or two until you get full search results. We normally keep toots from he entire fediverse back to the beginning of time but you cant access it until the index completes. Please be patient and if a search doesn't give you enough results try back later and it should work.

This also may reduce the number of results you see in remote timelines you are subscribed to locally. As the index completes then these remote timelines should fill up more quickly and completely I believe. For now everything works just fine.

Let us know if anyone has problems or questions.
