@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. https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111917865466599020).
@MartinShadok I see you use proper typography. Nice.
@freemo tell me you like blood without telling me you like blood
@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 (https://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.
@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.
Kelvin Kiptum died today in a car crash in Kenya, at age 24. He was the world record holder for the marathon in 2:00:35.
Une devinette que nous envoie René D.:
J'y pisse donc j'y suis. Où suis-je ?

@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.
@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.
