Still my favourite this month

French in the second half will be very good I think.

Can see them pulling away after 60 minutes.

There will still be 7 points in it by the end though. New Zealand are not invincible any more.

Hi Fediverse--

Who was the earliest fictional #genderqueer or #genderfluid character that we can give a specific year to? (I don't want to count mythical figures like Loki, unless we know when the myth of his pregnancy was written.)

The earliest I can think of is Krazy Kat, from the early 1910s.

Like playing rugby in a sauna. Ball covered in slippery sweat and no one can run for long.

" In this kind of model, the universe is then predicted to be spatially infinite. This infinity leads to paradoxes, for example with regard to assigning probabilities in quantum theory, as in an infinite universe events that are not forbidden occur infinitely often"

I don't see the paradox in that specific example? Philosophical discomfort, maybe, but paradox?

Only started reading that small universe paper (last boost, fascinating topic), but I've done the abstract and first sentence and have to quote this:
"Perhaps the most basic characteristic of our universe is that it is big." (Lehners & Quintin, 2023, first sentence.)

Aye, it's true, I fancied Cheryl Baker. #totp

Scientists have detected the magnetic field of a galaxy in the early universe. Axios explains how understanding these fields could be crucial for learning more about our cosmos as a whole: https://flip.it/Lu8Bs4

What's in the DNA of tech journalists that makes it so hard for them to use Mastodon? I've never seen any other group run head first into so many pitfalls. It's not hard, create an account, follow as many people as possible, interact. If you want the deluxe experience ask around about the best third party app and install it.

Since I've seen a lot of chatter about people switching to #Firefox as Google ramps up the enshitification of #Chrome, let me tell you about a killer feature for people who (a) need multiple accounts on the same websites (eg. devs) or specifically (b) have to use multiple Google accounts.

Firefox has an official addon called Multi Account Containers that lets you trivially set up color coded tabs that have separate sets of cookies. Log into your dev account in one, and your test account in another. Log into your personal #gmail in one and have another tab next to it with your work Gmail. I'm actually not signed in to any Google accounts in most my tabs, I just have containers for the specific tasks I do on Google products.

It'll take you 30 seconds to set up.

There might be some rugby content here for the next 7 weeks. Hopefully I don’t loose too many followers :)

@mike Posting on Mastadon depends solely on the quality of your individual posts and their ability to engage other users. There is no amplifier mechanism. Perhaps these journalists lack the confidence to engage solely on their own content with nothing else to push it. Is tech nothing more than hype?
