We analysed 183 million buildings to quantify the shape of 6,000 African cities.

The article that Brilé, Jorge and I wrote for @PNASNews is out!

Cities come in various shapes. Some cities are elongated and sprawled, whilst others are round and compact. The implications? When a city doubles its population, it triples its energy demand from transport. However, this could increase even more for sprawled and elongated cities.

A kind observation that exclusively calling this place "Mastodon" has a bit similar energy as saying "I just sent a GMail."

"Fediverse" (or "fedi") is a more inclusive, general term.

Mastodon is just one of many software projects that talk to each other to create this multi-instance social network:

(kudos to @axbom for this fantastic infographic!)

There are blogs, Reddit-like communities, video instances and many more, all part of fedi.

The many branches of the Fediverse

I’m just here to try to reach the geeky kids, maybe LGBTQIA, maybe alt, maybe on the spectrum, maybe just a little weird - and tell them that you can be 40 and have a Star Wars living room, and you can decide to not have kids and still have a life full of meaningful relationships and not regret it at all, and you can be a gamer and learn work skills from it, and you can be single but still do everything and travel the planet, you can be covered in tattoos and piercings and still be a successful business leader & public speaker, you can know trans rights are human rights and still be retired from the military, you can do whatever you want to as long as you show up every day and put in the work and put up a good fight - don’t let the people around you, society, your family, crappy friends, lousy spouses, what “they” told you, or the entropy of it all drag you down. Life can be really unfair, but learn your own personal battles, find your own family, and find meaning in the goofy world.
