Understanding #Mastodon gets easier once you get the basic idea that federation between servers can be understood as homeomorphisms across hyperplanes between the Riemannian manifolds of toots, whereas the servers represent countable finite sets of discrete entities.

BREAKING: "Banned, banned, banned, none of you are free from sin", one mastodon admin reveals their radical approach towards moderation.

@hankg I'm struggling to see on what basis, other than presumed political bias, one could justify banning such a clearly political figure from twitter

@kcrca on a lighter note - I have a question regarding the research on defect density:

leshatton.org/IEEE_Soft_97b.ht

I enjoyed Les' approach (stumbled across the paper in the art of unix) but haven't found anything that followed on this theme; are there any "modern" papers that take a similar, empirical approach to component size and defect density, particularly w.r.t. subroutines/functions?

@kcrca it's comfortable to assume one's enemies are fools; it is rarely wise

@lucifargundam this demands an agonising reappraisal of the whole situation

@lopp check out freespeechextremists, shitposter.club, noagendasocial

@lopp you're missing a huge chunk of fedi, it'll take some time for you to find where people hang out

I used to have this recurring dream that I was scheduled to run a foot race against a horse, and it's in this huge stadium, and all the interviews leading up to the race I try to point out that there's no way it's fair for me to race a horse. The dream always ended right before the actual race part, but the time I vanquished that dream I just made myself win the race and I haven't had that dream since
