@Rackuur It's beautiful.

My sister paints with watercolors and asked me to draw some fish. She made 3 paintings in one day. I needed a month for this one.

It is acrylcolor on canvas. I wanted to test how acrylics look when you water them down for the watercolor effect.

It shows oily and with chemicals polutet water. But there is still life. a goldfish and a waterrose still survive.

Now for something completely different. Let's suspend disbelief for a moment and accept the #MandelaEffect as fact, it's it more likely a result of....

Saturn's North Pole is freaking awesome. The polar latitudes are bounded by jet streams which form it into a hexagon. The pole itself is a huge long lived vortex of terror the size of North America. These images show the hexagon and vortex in natural color and in a near-infrared false color using images taken by NASA's Cassini orbiter.

Another design consideration re: Mastodon is that it works well for ephemeral asynchronous communications, but for many reasons should not be counted on as an archival resource. Media attachments are periodically purged and may not be available after a week, or a month, etc. While some servers may try to preserve content forever, this may be costly and unsustainable. Creators, researchers should treat this as an ephemeral resource and make provisions for self-archiving anything important.

To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

Finally finished my very basic hand warmers and this took me way too long. 😄 Bonus cat cameo. #crochet

Please don't use #Fedified! 🙏

This is what it says about itself:

"(Fedified) is *the* way to make sure that you're following the account managed by the same person you used to follow on Twitter."

It wants to be a central authority. This is dangerous, and opposite to what the #Fediverse stands for.

People become dependent on a central authority, then it gets bought out by billionaires.

Remarkable new radio portrait of galaxy cluster Abell 2255. Observations from the LOFAR antennas reveal magnetic structures snaking across 16 million light years, far larger than the (already huge) group of visible galaxies. https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2022/10/lofar-antennas-unveil-giant-glow-of-radio-emission-surrounding-cluster-of-galaxies #astronomy #space
