Verification, check. Time for our #introduction:

Founded by @dave and @roustem in 2005, we’re now a team of 800+ who share the same vision: to make the online world a safer place for everyone. Our culture values simplicity, honesty and a human-centric approach to solving problems.

We have a small gang hanging out on Mastodon and we’d love to get to know our new community. Share your own #introduction with us and what brought you to #1Password. 👋😊

So I've been building a 100% analog polyphonic synthesizer with an unique twist. To use only vacuum tube era technology from the 1930s.

Over 300 neon gas diodes create the sound you hear. Pretty awesome for technology from 100 years ago.

Still a work-in-progress, but I wanted to post a video of it with the innards spread out across the workbench. : }

I call it the "Neon String Machine"

Today I learned from @0xabad1dea that a lot of large solar farm owners use sheep herds to maintain their grass and they're called solarpunk grazers and life seems a little better. 🤘

In its sleep, an octopus will change its skin colour and texture in what appears to be dreaming.

Humans and octopuses are separated by 750 million years of evolution. Our last common ancestor was an ocean flatworm. We may as well be from different planets.

So either even creatures as simple as worms can dream and we inherited that from them, or dreaming is an emergent property of intelligence, appearing independently. And both possibilities are fascinating.

A friend shared this, so...

"If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease. I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be able to develop software titles that could impress people around the world."

The aim of https://Fedi.Garden is to help people discover small and medium sized servers on Mastodon and the Fediverse.

All of the servers listed comply with the Mastodon Covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant), have fewer than 50,000 members, are open for public signups and block threads.net. They can be any sort of Fediverse server, not just Mastodon.

If you run such an instance, send me a message if you'd like to be listed.

From lunch a Morning glory sketch. Such pests in the yard, always strangling other plants but so pretty.
