It would depend on the flavour. Actually, who am I kidding, if someone bakes me a cookie of me, I'm going full cookie monster on it, pretty much regardless of flavour or decoration.

The importance Newton's work wasn't in the pithy phrasing, but in the equasions of motion that he worked out. In other words, yes, most people could see that a big rock is harder to get moving than a small one, but keeps going more, but Newton was the one to devise the equasiobs that explained the why and how much.

Truffles are also a sort of non-hallucinogenic fungi, prized as a seasoning for certain foods, typically dug up and harvested by truffle hunters aided by dogs or pigs. I suspect they're the ones you get as European, unless you're talking about the chocolates.

In fact, the work truffle refers to too many different things. Someone should do something about that.

That's an interesting point. Rollers were likely in use long before whels-on-axles, and you could argue that those are basically wheels and partly axles, as they rotated freely from the load, and they do the job of both, but neither as well as an actual wheel on a dedicated axle. It was only when the wheel and axle were separated that we got the full benefit.

This is one of the most fundamental problems with the design of the fediverse, nd whilst thus protocol does go some way towards addressing it, it feels like a but if a sticking plaster rather than a true solution. It's something that I think the nostr protocol got right; your public key is your identity, and you sign posts with your private key. You send your posts to multiple servers, and publish the list of servers you've pushed as a message, so when people find it, they can also find the rest if your messages. There's no needs to migrate your account as all of your content is duplicated on multiple servers, and your public key doesn't change unless you lose the private key. Server owners can decide who's allowed to post messages on their server, but the duplication means that no one admin can block you completely.

I'll be intregued to see how the mastodon integration wirks from a user perspective. Will it be integrated into the same view, or will it be a separate view? Will we be able to follow individual users, or tags? I look forward to finding out.
