  • Best part:

    (…) Brecht’s team even taught the rodents to play hide and seek. At the beginning of the game, a rat was enclosed in a box while a researcher hid somewhere in the room. The researcher then opened the box using a remote control, allowing the animal to jump out and begin “seeking.” When the rat successfully found the hidden scientist, it was rewarded with—you guessed it—a tickle. The rats were also given the opportunity to hide while the researchers looked for them, and they proved to be especially good at coming up with creative hiding spots. Their ability to strategize was “almost spooky,” Brecht recalls.

    (…) Brecht’s team first made sure the rats were comfortable with their new playground, aka a dimly lit plastic box, as well as their human playmates. The researchers then played games of “chase the hand” and tickled and the animals on their backs and bellies (see video (…) for an example from a previous experiment). In response to the tickling, the rats shimmied in delight and let out endless “giggles.”



  • If it does, I should be able to post images on the pixelfed app that show my username as @adonis.

    It cannot work as stated because there could be another @adonis accounts in other instances and the only way to prevent that would be to centralize all the signups which goes against the whole idea of decentralization. That’s why the user must be @adonis1@kbin.whatever as it is shown now.

    Regarding the OAuth/JWT, again… not an expert, but what I understand is that that kind of integration is much stronger than the current system. AFAIK, it could work as you say, but that would make things much more complex for the servers; you usually provide OAuth authentication for a few services, I don’t know how well that scales with … hundreds / thousands (?) of authentication provders. But, who knows, maybe in the future it’s implemented in one way or another.

    We should take into account that this technology is fairly new and people are still building on it.
