New instance, new !

Hi ! We’re the European Southern Observatory, and we design, build and operate ground-based telescopes.

One of them is our Extremely Large Telescope, currently under construction in . It will have a 39 m mirror, and its rotating enclosure will weigh 6100 tonnes, or about 700 mastodons!

We’re looking forward to chatting with all of you about

And many thanks to @sebinthestars for running our former instance!

A drone photograph of a gigantic telescope in the desert, at sunset. The telescope dome is under construction, and partially covered in cladding. The sliding doors of the dome are open, revelaning the telescope inside: a cylindrical structure of white criss-crossed beams. The dome is surrounded by huge cranes, and the entire scene is bathed in the golden light of the setting Sun in the background.

PSA: If you don't want your child to be gay, trans, etc.
then just don't have kids. This isn't fucking build a bear. You don't get to pick and choose these things about your child. You aren't ready to be a parent if you arent ready to love them
unconditionally. (A profile emoji of a person talking)

We are a small independent bookshop in Chemnitz, Germany and were told that we have to do social media. We decided that if we had to do social media, then our first account would be with Mastodon. :) Hello Mastodon!

My Community Edition phone is finally fully working and I'm spending a bit of time getting to know it.

I like the physical feel, although some aspects will take a little getting used to (big screen, rounded corners, notch). I do appreciate the subtle touches like "Privacy from Finland" printed on the camera bump. Captures the spirit of .

Can't deny I'm thrilled to see ESR91 running on it.

Now to spend some time getting the software set up just right!

My #introduction.

I'm an IT-developer, born and living in #Denmark🇩🇰. I live on the island #Tåsinge in the southern parts of Denmark, in a small village not far from the sea. I have been working with IT for about 40 years.

My primary interests are #computers, #science, #photography #nature, #movies and making #goodfood.

This is a #reintroduction as I have moved to this server, because my former server is closing down.
