A few years ago, I made a presentation in LibreOffice impress about Mastodon. Fast forward to today and the eco system has changed.
1. As people point out Mastodon is NOT the only service
2. We should refer to the Fediverse and not a single service
3. I think it WAS useful to people
While I shared this, I want to re-do it so it reflects the fediverse better, so looking to :
1. Make it about fediverse
2. Briefly cover Activity Pub (given this is aimed at the users not techy people)
3. Cover a few of the services such as
Mastodon, Peertube, Pixelfed, WriteFreely,
Explain that posts on one can share (federate) with the others.
I will share once done, then as a community we can take it from there.
I'm working to improve the @pixelfed mobile app onboarding.
It will probably be seen as more controversial than the Mastodon app.
I'm okay with that.
Some people claim we're emulating popular platforms as if it's a bad thing, like we're selling user data or building communities without safety and moderation.
Ignore them, growth isn't a bad thing, we need to make the #fediverse easy to join, and moderate!
Every fedi project emulates an existing service, nothing is new lol

A serene cabin on a lake at Batsto Village in Wharton State Forest taken on a calm summer evening. This is actually the nature center for the park. Stop by and say Hi to the friendly naturalist there and check out a few critters they have!

Don’t Say You Haven’t Been Warned About Trump and 2024
CNN’s awful town hall with the former President heralds a disastrous election year to come.
"The shocking revelation on Wednesday was not what he said, it was that he was given the platform to say it."

Dear friends,
I suck at networking -because Im a laboratory scientist who mostly keeps to himself- and need some advice on two fronts:
1. How do I get more involved in local political activism? As in, how do I meet people and remain in contact with them?
2. I ultimately want to leave the US to finish out my career and retire abroad, but have run into a dead end on the path I was pursuing, and need to find someone in Europe, preferably The Netherlands, to help me job-seek. Any advice?

"After four generations of modular smartphones, Fairphone is turning its repairable design smarts to headphones. Meet the Fairbuds XL, a €249 (£219) pair of over-ear wireless noise-canceling headphones that are designed to be easy to repair when parts break or wear out over time. They’re available from today in European markets, but much like Fairphone’s existing smartphones, they won’t be sold in the US."

Besides observing the physical structure of protoplanetary disks, astrophysicists also use spectrum analysis to identify the chemical structure of the material in the disks.
Here are some images of the spectral analysis of 5 such disks done by the Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS). The study identified large reservoirs
of nitriles and other organics in the inner disk regions, and elevated C/O ratios across most disks.
