Hello #Astrodon!
I guess we are doing introductions. I work at Steward Observatory in Tucson, Arizona; primary research area is debris disks (theory and obs). I am a member of the JWST MIRI and NIRcam instrument teams and spent time commissioning MIRI. I will be posting a ton of GTO disk results this first year, so do follow along. First target to be revealed soon: Fomalhaut. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
reasons mastodon's "viral dampening effect" is a good thing:
👉🏻 no "main character of the day"
👉🏻 no free text searching for people to get angry at (and harrass)
👉🏻 doomscrolling is *actually bad for you* and not a thing we should be trying to replicate
👉🏻 birdsite's virality is heavily driven by actual paid advertising and bots. You think that "Explore" tab gets its content organically? really? That's not making connections between people, it's about driving sales.
Mastodon is not, and should not be, a 1:1 replacement for Twitter. But it *can* be a new place for you to make valuable connections with other human beings. #twitter #twittermigration
Prototype for a new mug. The lettering & the solar system schematic were made into 3d printed stamps which I impressed on the wet clay.
After the mug was bisque fired, I painted black underglaze in the recesses before glazing & firing again.
E pur si muove = And yet it moves (attributed to Galileo)

As my #introduction post, I wanted to share pictures of my artwork! ^_^ I paint nature, space themed fun things and COFFEE & DESSERTS (my fav things to paint :D)
hi! i'm minute (38, nonbinary, they/he). i live in berlin, where i spend most of my waking time running a (mostly) open hardware computer company. i design electronics in kicad. i'm also into music (listening and production), especially all kind sof synth and wave, post-punk, industrial, batcave but also some rap. i'm dissatisfied with audio production tools on linux so always thinking about writing my own sequencer, but lately i have little energy outside of work. #introduction 1/2
I'm looking for other #firstnations people on here too.
@vleugelcomplement as in for package management? isn't Anaconda language-neutral?
That's right - it's #SpaceTalkTuesday time! 🚀 🔭 🪐
Today it's going to be a short one all about:

@digital_carver thanks. it's something like that, although I'm thinking of things like realizing you forgot to put something in your car at the point in your journey where turning around to get it is impractical
