I just logged on with my desktop for the first time and whoa! I'm about to be walking around with a whole laptop strapped to my side!😆 As a newbie, I really like this interface! Desktop Mastodon is my current joy.

Sometimes, I go back to check the Bird site. And even though during scrolling I see things that catch my attention, upon reflection I am always surprised how deeply negative and sarcastic everything is.

Everything is a sneer, a critique, ridiculing something or someone.

And the contrast mastodon offers is so refreshing. It really feels you can still have a reasonable exchange of ideas over here. I really hope we can keep it like that...

I hear new people noting how chill, tolerant, and pleasant Mastodon is.

Mastodon isn’t chill or tolerant or pleasant. It’s a tool… a foundation on which to create and maintain a culture.

It’s those who’ve been on Mastodon, run servers, and served as admins who did the hard work and created the culture you now enjoy.

Now, it’s your turn. The only way it stays tolerant and chill is by us doing the work to keep it that way.

A good example of, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

I guess I am due an #introduction.

Hello folks,

I am Bevan Stanely. I am finishing my master’s from #iisc #india. For my #research thesis, I developed a computational model for a social bacteria #myxo.

I am preparing for a career change to #datascience. The technical stuff in #dataengineering is also quite interesting.

I like it here at #mastadon. It is much more sociable to my comfort. I am looking forward to smaller but more fulfilling networks. I have a lot of interests, so not gonna bore you with a list.

Cheers to new meaningful connections!!

'We have developed OpenFold, a complete open-source reimplementation of AlphaFold2 that includes training code and data. By training OpenFold from scratch and matching the accuracy of AlphaFold2, we have demonstrated the reproducibility of the AlphaFold2 model for protein structure prediction. Furthermore, the OpenFold implementation introduces technical advances over AlphaFold2, including markedly faster prediction speed.'

Some rascals call people hoping they don't pick up. I am rascals.

Naaladiyaar – 39

Dawn dawns daily,hence the ignorant
revel thinking dawn dawns forever;
dawn that dawns daily deducts a dawn
from one’s life doesn’t dawn on them.

வைகலும் வைகல் வரக்கண்டும் அஃதுணரார்
வைகலும் வைகலை வைகுமென் றின்புறுவர்
வைகலும் வைகல்தம் வாழ்நாள்மேல் வைகுதல்
வைகலை வைத்துணரா தார்.

Every dawn indicates a day less in one’s life. Hence do good deeds instead of just reveling.

Caladenia moschata (Musky Caps) - variations near Square Rock, Namadgi NP, ACT. A fairly common and widespread orchid around Canberra in late spring with flowering extending well into December in the mountains. Paler forms at this location have almost no purple or pink markings.

Slender Sun Orchids - Thelymitra pauciflora - near Gipsy Point, VIC. Several plants with slightly more mauve flowers growing alongside the 'standard' blue form (+ several hybrids). As is often the case with T. pauciflora I only saw the flowers out on one morning.
