I was searching for articles on Google Translate with SearX (serx.cf) and then, when I open the Mastodon Federated timeline (mastodon.la), guess what, a post about Google Translate! Talking about how humans should translate and not machines, the exact same topic. Can’t believe I haven’t escaped this bullshit with Mastodon. Live and learn.
I’m convinced because this is obviously unlikely. Other answers given: scrape a highly complex code for seeing how the federated timeline works, and shitty basic mathematics that never apply to real world probabilities. I could do without those. What would be nice: someone involved in the project pointing out the error in my thinking through the code, or actual mathematics.
That’s pretty much exactly what I said. Just with more self-congratulating bullshit attached.
