   From Gargron@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Going to share a few more up-close shots of the new Mastodon merch! I'm happy that we got to incorporate some Mastodon history in the designs. Mind you there's only going to be 250 of each at launch!

   From mcnees@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Happy Rotating Black Hole Day! Roy Kerr submitted his breakthrough paper describing the spacetime around a rotating black hole # OTD in 1963. Physicists had been searching for decades for this solution to the field equations of Einstein's theory of general relativity. https:// journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/ 10.1103/PhysRevLett.11.237

   From vcaston@zirk.us on Mastodon: I started an account at BlueSky because so many other academic # philosophers had signed up, but there is even less activity than here. I'm especially interested in # GreekPhilosophy but also # philosophyofmind and # metaphysics . Any others out there?

    If a person wanted to download their data from # Twitter /#X and then create an artificial history of their timeline in # Mastodon (as if they had always been posting there - a migration of the timeline, if you like), any advice on how to most efficiently do that? Asking for a friend.

    After a week in # Montreal for a conference ( # GUINEAPIG !) and then a week of vacation in # Sudbury , I returned to work at # SNOLAB today. Step one: inbox zero (accomplished). Step two: catch up with research students (accomplished). Step three: pick up the threads of project-related activities (in progress). Managed to also submit a letter of recommendation, re-read a…

    From mcnees@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Astronomer Vera Rubin was born # OTD in 1928. Her work on galactic rotation curves became one of the main pieces of evidence for the existence of dark matter, and she deserved a Nobel Prize for it. Image: Vassar College / Emilio Segrè Visual Archives

    From http://status.hackerposse.com/url/24557 on Mastodon: So, yeah. Loving the API for Mastodon. Have created a tiny Python program that will get the people I am following, look at a few parameters that I consider important (age of last toot, number of their followers etc.) Then it will prune these for me, cleaning up my following list to ensure I actually follow active a…

    Had a lovely last day of vacation. Had a great walk in Rotary Park up in New Sudbury and a nice post-walk lunch and nap. Also, loved that # StrangeNewWorlds and # LowerDecks crossover episode.

    It was a long process, but the good old # ChevyVolt was finally (a) fully imported to # Canada and (b) registered in the province of # Ontario this past Friday. The last hurdle was passing the import inspection, as one part of the car was found to be non-compliant with Canadian/Ontario auto rules. After weeks of searching and pleading with the dealership to solve the prob…

    From hastur@hackers.town on Mastodon: @ doktorzjivago OK dear friends, today's funniest discovery is that it's easier than ever to start your own podcast—thanks to Mastodon's open source! 1. Record your podcast and save as an mp3 file. Max 40 MB which corresponds to between 40-80 minutes depending on kbps. 2. Upload it right up in the feed with a description. 3. People …
