@jonmsterlingJon Sterling I always say "If you can't do the proofs when you're drunk, you got the definitions wrong when you were sober.".

Wow, this is ground breaking science..

Scientists have shown that a non-invasive sound stimulation of the brain at a specific frequency can clear toxic proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease, an advance that could lead to low-cost therapy.
Now, for the first time, scientists have demonstrated that auditory stimulation at 40Hz can significantly alter amyloid protein levels

Imagine a low cost treatment that most people could afford.

I missed this EXCELLENT news from last week: management at Code for America was stalling negotiations with the union over its new contract, so the union threatened to strike.

Mesh networks allow devices to send information to each other flexibly. Previously, device manufacturers only created mesh networks for their own devices. Now, Amazon, Apple, Google, and Samsung devices will all be able to communicate in Thread 1.4. https://spectrum.ieee.org/mesh-network-interoperable-thread?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

"There is no “pick a server” screen or “find your instance”. There is no friction. This is not “a Mastodon app”; it is the Tŵt app, purpose-built for our community."

This is a vision of the Social Web which I'm sure many won't agree with or, potentially, won't even understand.

But, like @jazjaz I'm pretty certain this is the future. We need to make spaces which are accessible to the general user, that just take them where they want to go without a scavenger hunt.

I'm so excited for this app and seeing how it can serve the existing community, Welsh people, and everyone else who wants to call it home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Was out for my morning walk hearing about #theforkiverse ! I'm more of a lurker even on Web 2.0 social media (like didn't even use twitter when it was good, fb for old contacts) besides twitch, discord, and lemmy but glad to push for a federated Web 3.0, just need the folks and the network effects to kick in.

decent growth rate on the forkiverse this week. if it continues at this rate (i think it almost certainly will) we should be at 213 million users by next year. although obviously this is an estimate, and it's possible that the growth rate increases.

The abs() function returns the absolute value of a calculation, keeping numbers, lengths, or percentages always positive. Useful for safer layouts and predictable visuals.

Dear Fedi friends, some good news:

Today I learned from @liaizonwakest ⁂ that the Parisian art space @palaisdetokyo is on the fediverse.

I was curious about the server it's hosted on, so I checked it out and more good news: there are several cultural institutions on it.

Turns out, it's an initiative by the French Ministry of Culture: a Mastodon server to share "cultural news in a way that is freer, open and independent" (their words)!

THANK YOU @cercleReseauCulture.fr for being here!

Two weeks into the #Vivaldi experiment and it's back to Chrome for me.

Legibility, debugging and maintenance are all the same thing on different time scales. How will we fix things that no effort went in to understanding in the first place?
