If you were wondering why Krakow attracts so many #DigitalHumanities action (from @teiconsortium.bsky.social to @jcls-io.bsky.social), it’s not only thanks to the great work by the DH centre of @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social. We DHers just like our pilgrimages to the tomb of the founder of stylometry💁‍♂️

"The number of plays you can generate is larger than the number of atoms in the universe.
