Hey #Fediverse, this is Prague calling!
We're thrilled to be part of #EUVoice and support the @EDPS in this new venture. @EU_Commission
This is an official account, managed by our social media ninjas!
Let us introduce ourselves with a video 😎
More #EUspace content to come 🛰️🌎
@piggo yes. that.
@piggo Z-axis recently got quite a bad reputation.
@geekmomprojects@mastodon.technology @joeycastillo First I wondered what is this, but now I see at https://www.crowdsupply.com/oddly-specific-objects/sensor-watch
👍 This is so cool! I have no experience with such microcontrollers (yet), but am a big fan of all things Casio, music instruments, as well as F-91W - being my sole watch since many many years now).
I wonder what other useful things what one might do with this... 🤔
18 years ago...

@mark That's right. At certain point I stopped caring...
@pseudonym @mark @geekmomprojects @FediFollows
Asa follow-up to the conversation about "exceptional content", maybe this referenced toot helps too.
@mark It's a matter of instance. qoto.org gives it to you, the src code is published so if you are running it yourself, instead of vanilla mastodon, you can try that fork. Or try to look at pleroma/misskey I am not sure whether they do it, possibly yes.
@6EQUJ5@tech.lgbt Try @apps
The concept here is not to go with the crowd, but to invest time to find what is "exceptional" to you, plant it in a garden, weed out and grow 🙂 . In the end, after you "plug-yourself" enough, the network will start speaking to you and you'll quickly notice what is exceptional content. At which point mute and unfollow feature becomes handy.
@geekmomprojects Yeah, that sucks. I was annoyed by that too in the past. There were instances I wanted to interact with. But OK, you cannot force others to accept you if they think you are an idiot just because of an address.
I even considered moving away from Qoto, but @freemo did/does a really great job, the platform has features I really like (e.g., length limits, exploration of instance toots, etc.) and are worth way more than a block from instances which are too sensitive to the world.
Anyway, welcome and enjoy.
@cleoqc Welcome "a small dog person" 🙂
@cleoqc @trinsec No clue what browser you use, Firefox has an add-on for that (probably not only one): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/to-google-translate/
I guess Chrome ecosystem has such too.
@peterdrake @users I guess you mean 2021. Well, @freemo said they had a lot of spam account or something like that.
Did you see the news that all of the #JWST instruments are aligned now?
Check out this comparison of one of the newly released calibration images from the MIRI instrument compared to images taken of the same region of space by the WISE and Spitzer space telescopes! Look at that resolution! So many newly resolved stars and structures! 🤩
I can't wait for all the new discoveries we'll make with JWST! #Science data starts in only a couple months!

Exploring, failing, backtracking, just to identify the only viable path forward. And then scarred, stumbling forward into the future. Learning.
Boring and steady. Knowing little and questioning a lot. Mostly harmless.

This is an experimental scrapbook space. A collection of stuff I want to keep in a form somewhere on the spectrum between a blog and a shoe-box full of scraps, cut-outs, quotes, links and reading notes and sometimes my own silly thoughts about them.
Perhaps it might be of marginal interest to others too, but I don't care that much.
