Burnt orange carpeting in a supermarket, 1970s. What the hell were they thinking!

All us SDF rendering enthusiasts should have some kind of virtual conference so we can compare notes on what we've all tried and save each other a lot of time. We could call it something fancy like SIGSDF (Special Interest Group Signed Distance Frobs).

We could start with just the "well, that didn't quite work" track for now, unless anyone's actually managed to solve it and is willing to share.

Bird deaths down 70 percent after painting wind turbine blades – The study ran for nine years at Norway’s Smøla wind farm

Something as simple as black paint could be the key to reducing the number of birds that are killed each year by wind turbines. According to a study conducted at a wind farm on the Norwegian archipelago of Smøla, changing the color of a single blade on a turb ...continues

Same here, kinda picking up bits as I go, pbs space time (youtube) is good but there is also a similar peertube physics channel

This is why I would like small business and sole traders on here, they are small, and are up against corporate billionarie bullies, so need all the help and edge they can get. However I do also understand why the eco system here is reluctant to encourage that,as once you open up those doors, the corporates will follow.

@ajroach42 Yes, I'm working on it. So are you.

1. Organize and network on the #Fediverse
2. Meet up IRL when possible for artistic activism
3. Form Artist's Federation
4. Selfhost
5. Create a co-op ran fediverse instance
6. Encourage comrades
7. Get paper to fuck the fascist billionaires
8. Buy land in rural area
9. Produce needs.
10. Local politics

@zleap I figure if I read enough of these stories, the cosmology will sink in. Plus, I had the honor of attending #LaunchPadAstronomy workshop in 2011. Some of it stuck.

I thought that, so a service the probably does not support pictures, alt text or video, as we do here.

I am sure on qoto I can embed LaTeX

@zleap It looks like a text-focused service that will allow people to log in via Instagram.

If that's the game plan, they will definitely fail.

@flexghost

Ouch, this is truly terrifying, I am sharing for reach,

Absolutely, Meta "intends" to join the Fediverse because the Fediverse is hot.

What they will discover is a community that is hostile to them, a developer ecosystem that will out innovate them, and competitors hungry to eat them alive.

But let them try 😄

Mike Pence can't have it both ways. Either he shares with the American people a full accounting of what Trump did and said in the lead-up to January 6 or he should be viewed as being complicit. My new CNN article: cnn.com/2023/03/12/opinions/mi

We’ve gained a number of new followers recently—shoutouts @FediFollows—so maybe it’s time for a re-#introduction?

I got the impression from the BBC article Meta is planning something independent but still using Activity Pub, so not sure if it will be federating with us.

We need more details, but Meta yes, are trying to survive, as we are a direct threat to them, and the lack of data collection, abuse, sale etc etc is actually appealing to people. We can be ourselves without some algorithm following us and dictating what we see.
