Mastodon sure moves fast! Within like maybe 30 hours we've all gone from "Cool, Librem is doing a thing" to "Hey, what's this about reports" to rhetorical backlash, to defederation, to changes from Librem.

That made my day!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As a reminder, if you ever attend any XR event and you hear or see something that is off, speak up.

Cannot speak up? Can you find someone you trust to speak up and highlight the problem without you being involved?

If you don't trust anyone there & rather do an online thing, you can always reach out to this account.

Or you can subtoot if you dont want us to be involved in the change making process to repair/fix what happened.

XR will make mistakes from its actions, you can help us fix them.

I’ve made a new #blog post about my latest #Docker image, tyil/perl6, which are #Perl6 nightly builds. The post details why I made them, and gives an example on how they can be used for regular projects.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Also we didn’t just observe the supermassive black hole once and were fine with that; we viewed the black hole over several days of observation, so we watched the gas/dust disk’s dynamics change quite rapidly. The disk is orbiting at about 1000km/sec [~600mi/sec] and nearly 90 Earth masses of material falls in every day. Early data is even suggesting the jet of material escaping before the event horizon may be pushing the black hole, moving it away from the center of M87.

We need MORE GIRLS IN TECH, especially in the software industry.

They now have a new, great model: Katie Bouman, 29yo computer scientist who designed algorithms to build the first ever black hole picture.

A Whirlwind Tour of Perl6's Best Features

I've never been much of a Perl fan but this stuff seems cool.

So I like looking at images from the DSCOVR spacecraft, because I never get tired of this planet. And I noticed something interesting! Look just west of Africa there. You can see the Saharan dust blowing out across the sea!

Every year, 20000 tonnes of dust from the Sahara gets blown across the Atlantic and lands in South America. That dust is rich in phosphorus, and it nourishes the Amazon rainforest. 🌳

This is the Fortingall Yew in Scotland, and at between 2000 and 3000 years old, it's one of the oldest living things in Europe.

Yew trees are dioecious, meaning that individual trees are mostly either male or female. But some yew trees are both. Others, transition from one to the other over time. The Fortingall Yew was once a male tree, but it's recently started growing female flowers and producing berries.

So it turns out, trees can be both nonbinary and trans too.
