Audio podcast: Threads/Meta/Facebook/BlueSky conversation... 

@freeschool @gabriel something's broken, I can't play this (tried Chrome and Firefox, desktop Linux editions). I can play other recordings fine (e.g. qoto.org/@freeschool/111917865).

@freemo tell me you like blood without telling me you like blood

Tony Hawk: I'd like to turn myself in for murder.

Cop: Are you Tony Hawk?

Tony Hawk: Yes.

Cop: If you're Tony Hawk where's your skateboard?

Tony Hawk, holding up a blood-soaked skateboard: It dug right into his skull. I am a monster

Cop: You look a little old to be Tony Hawk

@freeschool I was referring to those Mastodon servers that block some servers only because they don't block some other servers. For example, mastodon.art blocks qoto.org under such a pretext (mastodon.art/about). It's terrifying.

Jesus incarnates the hypocrisy of highlighting the virtuous aspects of a religion while sweeping the dark practices under the rug.

And Jesus said: "Let's block whole online communities in the name of tolerance. That will teach them m***********s."

@gregeganSF you should ask the machine how confident it is that its answer is correct. It's a popular question in the world of mushroom identification for the table.

@iddux don't read the Wikipedia article about Leonard Nimoy's interpretation of "If I Had a Hammer".

@henkka @lowqualityfacts he meant "factist", of course. It's all a big misunderstanding.

Commenter: It's time to release Gerald* back into the wild where he belongs!
Me: Why don't you release your kids?
Commenter: I don't have kids.
Me: Good for them!

How to record audio / How to speak about your thoughts or presentaton... 

@freeschool excellent, thank you! I may not follow through (based on past experience) or it may take me months to do something but we'll see.

@zoe_dubus très bon article. Je viens du domaine de la science (biologie des protéines notamment, il y a longtemps), et je regrette souvent un attachement excessif aux données chiffrées qui malheureusement se retrouvent couplées à des narratives fabriquées "pour vendre le papier" et que personne ne va vérifier. Lire des articles de nature historique avec une attention particulière au contexte est toujours un grand bol d'air pour moi.

Seriously.

- What does it mean to be intentional with your work?
- It's to show that you're in control. It's an essential component of macho culture.

@freemo I speculate we can't get enough accuracy in practice due to environmental disturbances e.g. magnets. It's ok to be a few degrees off when pointing north, but not ok if measuring latitude.
