What part of your culture would you take to space? For astronaut John Herrington, the first Native American in space, it was a traditional Chickasaw Nation flute. Herrington’s missions took him from the top of the world to under the sea. More: go.nasa.gov/3V6aZrA #NAHM

"ActivityPub Four Years Later: The Good, the Bad, and the Fedi" by @rolltime youtu.be/vnciCz83t70

A friend just linked me to this talk; it is a great overview of where we're at with ActivityPub and the fediverse, from a technical and cultural POV.

in reply to Nolan Lawson

thanks for sharing the talk! It’s been cool to see some of the things I talked about be proven true (or false) with the twitter meltdown.

After astronaut Pete Conrad stuck the landing of the Apollo 12 Lunar Module #OTD in 1969, mere feet from Surveyor 3, his 1st word as he became the 3rd person to step on the Moon was "Whoopee!" He was so excited, he accidentally pointed his camera at the Sun, frying its circuits!

Almost 180k new users joined #mastodon yesterday, a new record. This third #twitterMigration wave happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum to #Twitter workers. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. Here is my updated plot showing the three consecutive waves.


Well done comrades 👏

I thought that as an intro, I can list my most recent article, published in Quanta Magazine!

Fav quote: “There are galaxies that we haven’t discovered that are very big, very close by, and have unusual properties, and they are not in our current catalogs even after all these decades of studying the sky.”

I’d never played the original but for £6 for the game plus expansion why not!? I just burned an hour (see what I did there?) and will definitely be back for more. Thanks for the tip 👍

Amazing this game is still getting updates. Just played the expansion, it was great to revisit the game!

Out today talking about electric cars with people at a farmers market! One of the highlights of the day was helping to catch a wayward chicken!
in reply to Muse

@Karl Auerbach She looked like a Silkie Chicken. Several of us formed a circle around the delinquent pullet, so that the woman from the RSPCA could scoop the little girl up. We were close to a busy road, so the capture needed to be quick!

alternately, sometimes we just get excessively stubborn.

Don’t ask how many modifications I had to make to my ender 3 pro to keep it running. Also I bought a Prusa so I’d have a printer that just WORKED, while I fixed the ender. Again. And again ;)
