Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in your fruit salad.

The @FCC is finally asking for public comments! Here's your chance to let them know just how badly you’ve been treated, and to demand an end to the miserable era of monopolistic ISPs treating you as a captive and not a customer. We deserve better. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/04/fcc-wants-your-broadband-horror-stories-you-know-what-do
@Acer
I fail to understand what's your question, specifically.
@uwu_mittens
@Pat
Would you like explain why you say that?
@LydiaConwell
iPod, you say? Please address your complaints to Apple(TM). 😅
Four books published? That's something. 👍
#Creativity and #community : How modern #humans overcame the Neanderthals
"One of the most fundamental questions about human nature is what sparked the explosive emergence of creativity in modern humans in the period just before and after their widespread dispersal from Africa and the related extinction of Neanderthals and other human relatives,"
"Major controversies persist about the basis for human creativity in art and science, as well as about potential differences in cognition, language, and personality that distinguish modern humans from extinct hominids. This new study is the result of a truly pathbreaking use of genomic methodologies to enlighten us about the mechanisms underpinning our uniqueness."

We hope you are enjoying OpenBSD 6.9, everyone!
Here are the cute swimming fish from the song release (https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#69). @job gave us a slower version to make it a bit friendlier to share here, thank you, Job!
6.9's release artwork is by Joy San (https://www.joysan.ca)

So, that was how I got to meet "the admin of this instance".
Nice place. Congratulations.

Hi Lydia,
"Why is computer randomization so bad?"
Told you before; it depends on the algorithm.
Try search "random algorithm"
"Please answer as if..."
Install another media player. 🎧
Just curious: You're using Windows? 🙊
@Acer
I don't think that was what @uwu_mittens meant.
The most radical and dangerous activity one can practice these days is telling the truth.

Hi! My main skills are in #programming theoretical CS and #math. I'm interested in #foss, #ballet, #music (playing the #piano), #hex (the board game), and lots of other things I'm forgetting.
I've been taking time to relax and play after having most recently worked at #google. Some things I've been doing:
* teaching
* projects, e.g. https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2020/11/18/sound/
* #reading, mostly #scifi and #fastasy
A question: how many of you have friends who use Mastodon who you met elsewhere?
A bachelor is a hunter that never Mrs.

Never thought about that, but you're right - I'm having trouble to remember a film that doen't have some love story in the background.
