Now that the fediverse is expanding it's time for an updated #introduction

In my day job I work on open-source software to model groundwater at Deltares.

In my free time I contribute to @gnome. Most of my recent work goes into writing the book for the Rust bindings of GTK 4 at https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/stable/latest/book/

Often times people ask me, "But how do I learn about how ActivityPub works? Where do I get started?"

Friends! The ActivityPub spec itself is here to help you! There's a really lovely story-driven tutorial about ActivityPub right at the top of the spec in the "Overview" section! https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#Overview

Give it a read! I tried really hard to make it easy to follow, and it has beautiful illustrations from @mray!

If you look at the roadmap for our next major ESR (#Thunderbird Supernova, version 115), you'll notice our goal to complete most features is Q4 2022.

That's because we're entering "feature-freeze" by the end of 2022, and then spending several months on polish and refinement.

This should also mean a longer beta-testing period (and yep, we're working hard on official stable and beta #Flatpak channels).

We want Supernova to exceed your expectations. https://developer.thunderbird.net/planning/roadmap

How about instead of putting actresses and other celebrities on our coins we start putting medal of honor recipients?

Looking for some #comic and #comicbook fans to interact become Mastodonners with!

Love indie comics and most comics through the bronze age. Getting back into some newer things lately as well.

Happy to be here folks!

Bore da pawb!

We're holding a book launch/discussion on Friday.

Its at 16:30 in the Main Building Council Chamber at Cardiff University.

The book is about British MEPs and one of the authors, Giada Lagana, is from the WGC.

I’m loving this. No fear of being jumped on and eviscerated. Calm and friendly #letskeepitlovely #mastodon #friendship #acceptance #nofear

More #midjourney landscapes.

✨ Hello Fediverse!

If you haven't heard of Pixelfed before, it is the fediverse equivalent to Instagram.

Imagine being able to follow your friends on Twitter from your IG account, on the fediverse you can!

New #introduction in this new instance.

I am a historian of science & technology at Hiroshima Peace Institute & Grad School of Peace Studies. My book *Nuclear bodies: the global hibakusha* (Yale 2022) surveys harm from #nuclear production, weapon testing, & reactor accidents across the globe, & medical models that obscure harm from fallout particles.

Collecting oral histories in 20+ countries , I examine how communities, families and interior psychology suffer via exposures.

I track nuclear #colonialism (selecting the irradiated) arguing the #ColdWar was a limited nuclear war against these populations.

I also explore our relationship to our HL nuclear waste, asserting it is how our descendants will know us. Our choices now reveal our lack of consideration of the 1000s of generations of living beings for whom this waste is already a part of their world.

Previous life: l was a chef & worked in the #organic food business

Forgive the overdue #introduction, but howdy! I'm Dominic Armato, and two things are kind of my jam.

The first is that I've done #voiceover since I was a kid, and I'm the voice of Guybrush Threepwood in the #MonkeyIsland games.

The second is that I'm way more into #food and #restaurants than anybody probably should be, and I was the dining critic for The Arizona Republic for five years. (Woo #journalism)

I balied on FB, I want to bail on Twitter, and I'm hoping this is where I belong. TBD.

Mastodon admins, prepare for more load!😉

The legal framework on the teaching of religion in schools in Wales has been transformed with a greater focus on non-religious beliefs. Yet, the law requiring a daily act of religious worship belongs in a different century. My latest book argues that reform is needed in both England and in Wales: https://anthempress.com/religion-in-schools-learning-lessons-from-wales-pb

Thanks to Elon Musk, it seems that #Mastodon is really coming out of the woods! 🌄

All mainstream medias are now talking about Mastodon, as THE alternative to #Twitter... 💪

Even the @TIME TIME Magazine, has this great interview with Mastodon's creator Eugen Rochko @Gargron

Lots of Mastodon instances are struggling with the heavy influx of users. Twitter was the same in the early days. The Fail Whale, was something you’d see on a regular basis. Gives it a chance, things will get better.

@zleap I'm hoping it holds out here in North Carolina, been hit and miss with the cloud cover all week

I'm so grateful for the tips, pranks, and (most importantly) honest feedback about what it means to engage here with intention. I'll start writing this afternoon. I sincerely hope I don't let you all down—I'm going to do my best.
