Continuing to learn how to sing by doing a song a day -- this one is Warning Sign by Coldplay :)
I'm resolved to learn how to sing this year, so I'm going to do a song a day until I'm good!
Yesterday's was "Cannonball" by Damien Rice -- up on my YouTube
Public Service Warning
Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.
It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.
We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.
So if you ever hear of this magical thing
Called a quantum computer, give it a ring
It may seem strange, but it's a fascinating tool
That could change the world, and that's no fool!
(end)
But this strange behavior had a purpose, you see
For it could be used to compute, oh glee!
With its many states and its ability to be
In multiple places at the same time, you see
It could solve problems at incredible speed
Far faster than classical computers, indeed
It could crack codes, and simulate molecules too
It could even help us understand the universe, it's true!

I just asked ChatGPT to 'explain quantum computing in the style of Dr. Seuss' and it WROTE this:
---
Once upon a time, in a far off land
Lived a little thing called a quantum strand
It was tiny, but mighty, and oh so perplexing
For it could exist in many states, quite perplexing!
It could spin this way and that, up or down
It could be a particle, or a ghostly gown
It could be a wave, or a rock, or a bird
It could be anything, it was quite absurd!

Over the weekend I was working with AST explorer, so I thought it'd be fun to see what AI could come up with during this seasonβ¦

Unfortunately I have to stop actively working on #Metatext for a while due to health issues. I really wish I could implement Mastodon 4 features and squash every bug, but it's not possible for me to do so right now.
I know the app has become important to a lot people, so I'm open to a new maintainer who can carry on its values of privacy and accessibility taking it over if there's interest and a fit. Email [email protected] if you (or your organization) are interested
