You know how most people just have one phone number?

That's possible because all phone providers in the world federate together. No matter which provider you use, you can call anyone anywhere.

Well, Mastodon (and the Fediverse it's a part of) is the same thing but for social media. The Fediverse address on your profile is enough for people on other servers to follow you and interact with you. It looks like this:

@ (username) @ (server)

There's a video about it here:

This picture is going to drive the conspiracy nuts crazier.

I think this is the most artificial-looking thing I've seen in a Mars rover image. I'm sure it's a natural formation, but damn if it doesn't look like a concrete door into the mountainside.

I thought it was fake until I traced it back to the NASA Curiosity mission site.

Checking those noisy parameters.
They never look good enough.
