Currently looking for a Mastodon instance to move to that allows a high character count of 1000 or higher (the default of 500 is not working for me). Well established server that is well administrated. Suggestions appreciated.

Booklet with some stills of Hayao Miyazaki's new movie The Boy and the Heron released yesterday in Japan.
🐦🐦🐦
FYI, Studio Ghibli didn't release any single trailer for this movie so far except 2 posters showing Mahito Maki and the Grey Heron.
These pictures can be clue how's the movie art style looks like before we watch it later in North American this year.
Director: Hayao Miyazaki.

It's been just over 2 years since JAXA's #Hayabusa2 mission returned to Earth with a sample from #asteroid #Ryugu. Journal papers have started to pour in from the initial analysis, but each only looks at a particular facet of the sample, and it can be overwhelming to follow and piece together. So we made a chalkboard video at ISAS highlighting a few of the trends seen across the publications! (This is based on a talk by Tachibana Shogo: Hayabusa2 Initial Analysis Team Manager)

Re-upping this again: I wish more lefties could internalize the idea that hypocrisy is not a meaningful accusation to the right. Of course they're being hypocrites. That you are bound, by rules, standards, logic, human decency, some fundamental moral consistency, anything at all, and they are not? That is their conception of what power is, and why they seek it. So they can exercise power, without constraint, and you cannot.
That's the whole point.
Hypocrisy is the virtue-signaling of fascism.

“The warrants alleged there was probable cause to believe that identity theft and unlawful computer acts had been committed involving Marion business owner Kari Newell.
A Record reporter later requested a copy of the probable cause affidavit necessary for issuance of the search warrant
District court, where such items are supposed to be filed, issued a signed statement saying no affidavit was on file.”

“When highly trained professionals now babysit machines, they lose their skills. Retaining skills requires practice. How do we ensure that those skills are not lost? If we expect humans to be able to take over from machines during crucial moments, those humans must retain strong skills. Loss of knowledge has serious consequences locally and systemically.”

Here is my periodic reminder that the fediverse is brought to you for free, but those services cost the fine people managing your instance their time, attention, and money. Admins do it out of love and a belief that there is a better way to operate social media.
Most instance admins rely on donations to offset the cost of operating the service you use. If you love the service you are getting and are in a position to donate, I would ask you to take a few moments and navigate to the “about” page of your instance instancename.social/about (ex. https://Infosec.exchange/about) and find the directions to support your instance. Many thanks to those of you who already do. And a special thanks to those awesome people who donate to the Infosec family of instances :blobheartcat:
I ask this of all parts of the fediverse. We are stronger and healthier together.
Thanks

@briankrebs It's such a cool technology and has so much promise for spreading broadband to rural areas. It's just too bad their competitors aren't even close behind.
I think any satellite swarms should be taxed to pay for more scientific telescope satellites to compensate for interfering with earth based operations.
