Today Earth reached 8 billion people, despite pandemics and violence and wars. There were 3.5 billion when I was born in 1968.
There's plenty of space left (no need for space!), but between us (30%), our livestock (67%), we're crowding out the wildlife (3%). Our dominance enabled by one-time finite fossils.

Hello from Reykjavik

Let me try my #introduction again the recommended way, by hashtagging out my interests:

Hi all, nice to finally be on Mastodon by way of #TwitterMigration. As an #introduction, I'm a research scientist working at KLA a semiconductor company in the Bay Area of the US. I have a Ph.D in #physics, which along with #mathematics has always been my passion, and I'm always up for a constructive discission or learning something new.

Hello!

This is kind of an odd thing to post but I really want to emphasise how important it is to have political content behind a CW tag, and not boost posts that don’t adhere to that convention. Same thing applies with images and alt text. For those of us who have moved over from twitter I think it’s important that we pay attention to this. Mastodon isn’t twitter and we should really try to think carefully about how we interact here

@besenwagen me too! I have never felt so encouraged to be my authentic self. And I'm really digging the realness of the awesome #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #neurodivergent people I'm crossing paths with the here ✌️

Some people think Mastodon is too weird to become popular:

I joined Twitter in 2008. We had to put a "d" in front of a tweet to convert it to a direct message and every other day you had some embarrassing private moments exposed because someone forgot about the “d”. Hashtags were just a community hack, introduced by Chris Messina to somehow tag content. Search? Hah, you wish! Tweets via SMS were supposed to be a thing. Oh, and the daily meet and greet with the failwhale. Totally not weird.

Welcome to all of those joining the new #JuliaLang Mastodon : )

Lately more and more open source projects are becoming mainstream.

Thanks to #SteamDeck, gaming on #linux has become a priority while some years ago it was still niche.

@godotengine has become a very useful engine that is powering many enterprises.

And now, #mastodon and the #fediverse are showing us that we do not need propietary services in order to communicate with each other, which has become so difficult in the last years with all the noise that is generated by those services.

This is the era of #opensource.
