Please welcome on Mastodon the @esoastronomy European Southern Observatory (ESO), the European organization that builds and operates large, advanced ground-based observatories for research in astronomy and astrophysics.
Listen up Mastodonians, because this is important:
Right now we have a unique chance to rise up and hit back against Zuckerberg and Musk. Because italian filmmaker @_elena and her friends have made an OUTSTANDING short film, which explains why people should quit the fascist social networks and come join us in the fediverse.
Hit the fascists where it hurts — make this go viral by watching it and liking it on YouTube, then hit the share button and share it everywhere!
Inspired by Google's move to remove @organicmaps from the Playstore without warning, I finally decided to move my > 3,000 Google Maps saved places to Organic Maps. To facilitate doing this for others' benefit, I made a quick webpage to convert your Google Maps GeoJSON data to GPX and KMZ files that render well in Organic Maps.

“Everyone who uses a computer frequently has had, from time to time, a mad desire to attack the precocious abacus with an axe.”

“This is Lenz’s law. Capitalism generates a social force in opposition to itself. Because, naturally, after long enough having zero clue how wealth is created, being shielded from the very concepts of “trade-offs” and “consequences,” and treating superabundance as the default, the pampered rabble will start to poke holes in the endless-stuff-machine because they don’t know any better and because they want even more stuff. “

Oh, PeerTube (an open, self-hostable, decentralized video platform) is still accepting crowdfunding donations for their mobile app, and sadly is still missing quite a bit:
https://support.joinpeertube.org/en/
I'd love for it to become more popular. To me, personally, the lack of a mobile, but especially an AndroidTV app that can follow submissions on multiple instances, was always kinda a dealbreaker for me to use it regularly.
BUT I love the project and want it to succeed so we have a better YouTube alternative!
So, maybe you can also chip in, or just spread the word that it exists. ❤️
