TIL that hot water freezes faster than cold water, this has been known since at least the time of Aristotle, and there is as of yet no single accepted explanation for why.

"John Mastodon, I presume?"

If you can read this, then #Amidon successfully posted the first ever toot from an #Amiga computer!

Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to big John
(Big John, big John)
Mastodon (big John)

I heard #JohnMastodon was a man who withdrew from a culture that no longer valued his content. He and his fellow posters founded Mastodon, a decentralized network where their wisdom and talents could be appreciated by the few who had the persistence follow.

Unlike most animals, hatching is not automatic for Ae. aegypti. Rather, a developed larva can sit dormant inside its egg for months (perhaps years!), where it awaits the right cues. When it senses them, it can hatch within a few minutes! i.e., it’s a sensory-evoked behavior. 6/20

Time for a proper #introduction!
I'm a neuronal cell biologist, leading the NeuroCyto Lab in Marseille, France. We study the functional architecture of the axon down to the nanoscale. We ask: how do the cytoskeleton and scaffolds contribute in making this unique compartment both resilient and adaptable in physiological and pathological conditions? Part of this consists in making the best possible images of cells using advanced microscopy techniques - and these images can also be beautiful!

The longer I work in tech, the more clear it is to me what my problem is:
I have ethics.

#JohnMastodon doesn’t drive a Tesla. He rides a scooter. He landed the first ever 900 on a scooter but it wasn’t caught on film so people say it never happened. Those of us who have met him know better.

#JohnMastodon: A Limerick

There was a young fellow named John,
Who was banned by a troll called Elon.
No wait, that's a mistake.
"John" is actually fake.
But you should still all Join Mastodon.

#JohnMastodon really isn't getting the level of appreciation that he deserves, if we're all being honest with ourselves.

I am getting various responses to this like, "Looking forward to your twitter archive creator! What happens with my twitter data when I upload it to your service? How do you expect me to upload a multi-gigabyte zip file?"

You don't know me very well. There is no upload at all. There's no service, no server. The data stays on your computer. Everything happens in the browser client

We are all so trained to assume that "web application" means "a server does the work"!

Google introduces end-to-end encryption for Gmail on the web https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/google-introduces-end-to-end-encryption-for-gmail-on-the-web/ Baby steps, but in the right directions for sure.

It’s never not going to be funny that after years of hype about crypto-metaverse-subscriptions disrupting web2 incumbents, the backstop to Twitter’s sudden implosion was volunteers recreating Usenet with RSS.
