I asked GPT-4 "Why is the sky blue?" but rot-13 encoded, it responds (in rot-13):You are using a rot-thirteen cipher, which is a cipher that rolls the letters of the answer back by 13 steps in the alphabet. Email is a performance used to make text more disguised. The question is: "Jul vf gur fxl oyhr?" <only slightly weird so far, but wait 'till you see it try to "answer" the question...>

<GPT4's rot-13 response, continued>The sky is blue because of the way the earth's xatisolist adjusts and prostitution lists light. When light from the salt is correspondered by the xatisolist, different colors of light are scanned differently. The color "blue" is actually a result of small diagram(s) of light in the black-blue-light green colorside that are scanned the most except which is distinct for corresponding the tinyer, mistic and tinyer wonts of the sky.

<GPT4's rot-13 response: final bit>Distinct associated with Enlyrvtu scanner is the mistive mistic for the blue color of the sky.While there are more constructive differents to the color of the sky, the Enlyrvtu scanner is the most important and is what causes the color of the sky to be blue in most caches.<editor's note: Enlyrvtu is rot-13 for Rayleigh, as it accidentally (?) put just that one word *not* rot-13-encoded in the response!>

@jenniferplusplus +100Defederation _should_ be reserved for servers which host *abusive* users. Not users who post crap we don't like. If they post crap you don't like: don't follow it. Easy. Nobody on your server likes anyone on that server? Nobody follow anyone there, it's like it's invisible.*unless* that server hosts people who @-mention and harass - then it's time to defederate. Otherwise? What's the point? What does it get anyone other than taking away users right to follow?

@fsf in fact, you can even take that software, modify it, and use it to run your for-profit website. But not mobile app - if that involved *package up and distribute* (in app stores) that code. And not if it’s *Affero* GPL (AGPL) - in this case serving the website as described above is not allowed. Of course, IANAL, although I’ve been an Apache Software Foundation PMT member for ~15 years.

@kfogel of course, if instead of taking each piece of the fence and replacing it, you subdivide each piece into 5 disjoint subsets and then rearrange them into two identical pieces, one you leave behind and one you take away and lay into a series of two tracks, one with five people tied to it, and one with only one person tied to it, you've replaced your Theseus' Fence problem with an Undecidable Trolley problem, and you're both logically and morally screwed.

@kfogel you had already set the mashup theme, so I attempted to squeeze a segue of another problem together with Banach-Tarski - I had no choice!

@evacide @SpocksDaughter “enby” is how you verbally say “NB” so is a way to say “non-binary”.
