Because of the you-know-what-site ban, many people from Brazil are moving to Mastodon, including Artists, so let's do an Art Share for them only! Let's help them get the boost they need around here!

ARTISTS FROM BRAZIL
- In the comments, introduce yourself and show your art!

PEOPLE NOT FROM BRAZIL
- Boost this post and the ones from brazilian artists in the comments!

@sundogplanets Maybe Museo Astronomico di Brera? With instruments dating from 17th century, and Schiaparelli observatory?

Ok, it's official now: I'm going to give a talk about satellite pollution at a UN (!!) workshop.

I have very mixed feelings about this! It's 100% in person, which is SO much stupid travel pollution (in order to try to stop so much stupid satellite pollution, ugh). But it's in Milan!! I've never even thought about going to Milan, it's just so fancy and out of reach. So... wow.

@euronews the headline of this article might as well be full hybrid car sales taking over the EU market. Between people's desire to move away from fossils and the disappointing electric vehicle promise, the Toyota-led middle way is showing to be the most realistic. It is by far not enough, but at least it is making headway towards finding an alternative.

If following Lemmy communities is a possibility from flipboard, then please take a look at https://fediverser.network/communities. This is part of my https://fediverser.io project which aims to make migration from Reddit to the Fediverse more seamless. It lets people automatically discover all the Lemmy communities that correspond to their favorite subreddits.

1/21 #WhiteSupremacy is not passive; it is proactive, violent, and pathologically relentless.

I don't know who created the attached image but, in researching them, I discovered others that were not represented.

As we look more closely at a few specific events, we will keenly recognize some common threads, but I'd like to start with one that is not depicted in the image, but is really the best place to start - the #ConfederateStatesofAmerica and the American #CivilWar!

I will now stop using laundry pods.
Even while acknowledging that their contribution to microplastics is small.

The major contributors to microplastics in the oceans:

Synthetic textiles
(They make me sweat unpleasantly, so I stay away from those, too),

Car tires
(why I bike: skinny tires, a lot less wear!)

City dust
(Guessing that includes the two above, plus house paint and such).

A major example of how Telegram's opt-in secret chat encryption has gone seriously wrong before: https://words.filippo.io/dispatches/telegram-ecdh/.

The practical near term threat is for the vast majority of chats without end-to-end encryption: 100% of Telegram group chats and the regular 1-to-1 chats.

So relieved and delighted to have this stuff out into the world where it can help new (and maybe also some experienced) fedi admins and mods think through their work. And maybe help convey to others at least some of what makes the fediverse such a structurally interesting place.

I'm even more optimistic about the fediverse than I was when we jumped into this—and sobered, too, by how much work there is to be done. But I think it's doable.

UK – Three in 10 users of X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, say they are considering leaving the site, according to research from Savanta.

Savanta found that Musk was also deemed personally unpopular with the UK public ...

Musk is currently less popular with the UK public than all Conservative leadership candidates except Priti Patel (-30 ).

Oh my word. FUCK YOU DISNEY

'The lawsuit claims that Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating at a Disney Springs restaurant despite repeatedly informing the waiter of her severe allergy.

Disney is calling for the lawsuit to be dismissed because her husband signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service years prior.

The company says signing up for the trial requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company.'
