Derelict satellites pass within 1,000 kilometers of each other 1,000 times a year, and any collision would instantly double the amount of space debris. A space rush is filling up orbit with unregulated satellites, mostly from private companies, and we need better protections scientificamerican.com/article…

I'm prototyping a fediverse sharing button. Anyone interested in giving it a try?

Feature highlights:

- shows a logo of supported fediverse software
- lets you share selected text
- remembers the last fediverse domain used

An Eastern Bluebird came by today. I couldn’t get a very good picture of him, but he was so bright!

Eastern bluebirds are social, and will sometimes gather in flocks of over a hundred.

Forcing people to use Facebook (or other proprietary monopolistic corporations) to get updates on essential services should be illegal.
Luckily I'm offgrid and so I'm just looking as a tourist but the point stands. Grrrrrrrrrr.

100%. See my recent quote from a post on public service use of the fediverse;

mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/112…


"So here is a call from the NZOSS to the New Zealand Government to set up a Government centric Mastodon instance to provide a conduit for Agencies, Departments, Entities, Schools, Councils, DHB's and any other central or local government organisation to disseminate pertinent information in real time."

Not as far as I know.

As an aside, I'm part of a new co-op working on a fediverse hosting service. Part of our goal is giving public service entities (governmental or otherwise) a way to create their own fediverse presence, at a predictable cost, with no new work for existing staff.

#climateDiary
We’ve constructed a culture which venerates something we’ve made up – money – and ignores something we’re made of – carbon.

Which makes us less intelligent than frogs.

“As the temperature of the water is gradually increased, the frog will eventually become more and more active in attempts to escape the heated water. If the container size and opening allow the frog to jump out, it will do so.”

After an unusually high sea ice maximum in the Sea of Okhotsk this year, recent melting has been particularly fast & dropped to record low levels. Very high variability!
