our new Moon Phase AI is a LLM trained on 38 years worth of moon phase data. it uses 25kWh of electricity per post & is correct 32% of the time. also we have gotten it to mostly stop being overtly racist

If for some reason you are still using #GoogleChrome, now is a really good time to look at using *other* web browsers!
I’m a very happy #Firefox user, and if you have looked at FF for a while, I’d encourage you to give it another look. Newer versions are faster… and they actually respect your #privacy !

@mhoye does "<insert short description>, (re)written in Rust" count? Because that is everywhere these days.

For all the folks starting their #PhD (or their master thesis) today - a reminder why your PhD advisor can solve a problem so "easily" ...

@labarba Didn't expect to see this song on Mastodon! I'm a #LindyHopper and the original version of this song is what we do the Shim-Sham solo jazz routine to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SkoD2CIakQ
Sadly, Mastodon doesn't seem to have much of a #LindyHop community so I need to jump at jazz posts when I get the chance 😅
@samharrison7 nice article that follows up from this survey: https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2023/08/20/how-is-science-twitters-mastodon-migration-panning-out/

This A-level Results Day don't forget that your results aren't all of you, just the tiny bit of you that can be summarised in exam questions #NoWrongPath

This has absolutely no business, none whatsoever, being as good as it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzR9HwhhlkA
@samharrison7 The consensus in most of the academic community is that #Mastodon doesn't have a good enough on-boarding process and it leaves users feeling isolated on little islands. It would be a shame for #science and the potential future of #ScienceCommunication if the opportunity is missed to get most scientists onto a free, open, federated platform, but alas I feel it is unlikely it will happen unless some serious changes are made.
I will epilog by saying I quite enjoy Mastodon, but that is only because a good chunk of the #FOSS and #RSEng community seem to have made it here, and I have put quite a bit of time into learning how it works.
