Many of my favourite paper titles naturally invite the response: ‘Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.’

Every time I travel, I take lots of photos. Later, when I look at them more carefully, I find images I'd forgotten, like this photo of a wild turkey in Australia. I remember there were so many of them, living freely between nature and humans, and I relive how […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

We just transitioned CoSocial from an ad-hoc combine of AWS, OVH, and DO to @fedihost, see https://fedihost.co, a Managed Fediverse Hosting outfit. Already feels faster, and should be cheaper too. Self-managed instances are cool but not, I suspect, the general-case future.

I've set up a WikiProject to collect info on #GLAM data services: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_GLAM_data_registry It would be great to team up, think of a data model, create some showcase items and collect metadata on API and data dumps. cc @tillgrallert @mia#glam #openglam […]

Trump has declared #fentanyl to be a "Weapon of mass destruction" because it kills ten thousands of people in the US every year. Guess what else kills so many people? #cars

Even though it's winter now, I remembered this photo from summer in Slovenia: one swallow doesn't make a summer. #wildlife #naturephotography #outdoors #slovenia #travel #bird#Wildlife#naturephotography#Slovenia#swallow

A severe #accessibility issue I've seen very few people talking about is the widespread adoption (in my country at least) of touch-only card payment terminals with no physical number buttons. Not only do these devices offer no tactile affordances, but the on-screen numbers move around to limit […]

Yesterday I read one of the cleverest posts I have ever read: "The FIFA Physics Prize goes to Friedrich Merz for his fundamental research in the field of highly efficient combustion engines." Credits: @imalterfische.bsky.social #sustainability #physics #euro7

The moss fell on my head. I looked up and there was a jay having fun throwing moss. #NaturePhotography #EuropeanJay #birds #Moss #ItsCold #nature #Wildlife

Der FIFA-Physikpreis geht an Friedrich Merz, für seine Grundlagenforschung auf dem Gebiet hocheffizienter Verbrenner.

It's cold as I walk home, hands in my pockets and coat zipped up tight. The sunset paints the sky with beautiful, soft colors, and the shadows of the trees become silent companions. I walk slowly, feeling the stillness that surrounds me and the icy breeze […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

In the forest, everything is silent, and the only sound is the crunch of leaves under my feet. #NaturePhotography #nature #Forests #shadows#naturephotography#forestsSoftLight #silentsunday

As I walked through the woods, I saw this old tree stump. It wasn't just its size or the scars that time had etched into its wood; there was a peculiar stillness about it, as if that trunk had been waiting for someone to notice it. #NaturePhotography #Forests #Landscapes #trees#naturephotography#life #autumn

Hoy tomamos el tren a Múnich con @Ayenkantun para votar mañana las elecciones presidenciales de #chile. Al llegar nos encontramos con un tren arcoiris. Espero que mañana la gente no vote a la extrema derecha ni al facismo y podamos seguir teniendo un Chile democrático y respetuoso con la diversidad.

In ancient Denmark, ferns were believed to be connected with supernatural powers. Myths arose claiming that the "seeds" belonged to the Devil and that witches used them to cast spells. Ferns don't produce flowers or visible seeds, which was mysterious. Since […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

At the office, we use MS Teams. In Linux, I have to run it on the browser. Just to chat, Firefox uses 1.5GB of memory with a single MS Teams tab. This is 150x more than the 85MB used by the #matrix client, Fractal. I am pretty unhappy with the state of web apps. I still use two of my old […]

Almost invisible among the golden autumn leaves, I've found this beautiful fungus again. They say its trumpet shape is no accident: it plays a music only the earth can hear, a melody that awakens what lies dormant beneath the humus. #NaturePhotography #Fungi #Forests #Autumn #nature
