Forgive my ignorance but if you federate an instance, does that instance have to federate you back? In order for you to comment/upvote/see posts etc?

I found it interesting to learn “Scientist” is such a new word though! I assumed it was some ancient word, not something some guy just sat down and came up with pretty recently

It’s a cool story but not entirely true

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientist

Whewell proposed the word again more seriously (and not anonymously) in his 1840[31] The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences:

The terminations ize (rather than ise), ism, and ist, are applied to words of all origins: thus we have to pulverize, to colonize, Witticism, Heathenism, Journalist, Tobacconist. Hence we may make such words when they are wanted. As we cannot use physician for a cultivator of physics, I have called him a Physicist. We need very much a name to describe a cultivator of science in general. I should incline to call him a Scientist. Thus we might say, that as an Artist is a Musician, Painter, or Poet, a Scientist is a Mathematician, Physicist, or Naturalist.

More than effort, I think the issue is that you have to be willing to make pretty big compromises in your tools and workflow, which is incompatible with a lot of creative persuits. I’m no Linux doubter/hater but even after conceding my DAW and half my plugins it still wasn’t up to scratch. Maybe one day!

F’s out for me and any other music producers. It’s like trying to game on Linux 15 years ago. You can do it in theory but when it’s your job it just isn’t there yet and I can’t imagine it ever will be
