The benefit is that the other microblogging platforms might also implement or improve threadiverse support if this goes well. We could get more activity and users from the people who are only on a microblogging platform

Purple and teal are in the diagram but missing from the legend, while red is in the legend but not in the diagram. The cable management entry in the legend is pointless.

The airflow portion is odd, since the heat should be extracted from higher up?

The more they do all of the above, the more incentive that companies will have to support Linux desktop

Did you try Calibre Web or Calibre Web Automated

Maybe CWA is what you’re looking for?

Nice, I had no idea

I tried out Fladder, Moonfin, and Wholphin

• Fladder does load, but it crashes on certain pages for me. My guess is that my hardware isn’t powerful enough to handle something that it’s trying to do
• Moonfin and Wholfin are both beautiful with an intuitive UI. Between the two, I liked Wholfin the best. It has a preview when customizing the home page, which is very helpful compared to the back and forth guess and test with the other ones. I also prefer it’s UI and default settings over the others

I replaced Findroid with Wholphin on ours

Neat, are there any other clients for Android TV aside from the official one?

Fladder was working on it, but last I tried it was still too unstable to use

Some cool details

Scientists want to know how whales cooperate and socialize in the wild, but it’s tough to study this in animals that spend most of their time underwater. There are just a handful of sperm whale birth records from the past 60 years, and all are anecdotal accounts or from whaling boats.

Several years ago, researchers were studying whale communication on a boat off the Caribbean island of Dominica when they noticed something odd. Eleven whales — most of them female — surfaced, their heads facing one another, and started thrashing and diving above and below the water. The scientists immediately took out drones and microphones to capture the event.

The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim.

After observing the birth, the scientists created software to analyze exactly what was going on. They chronicled the sights and sounds in two studies published Thursday in the journals Scientific Reports and Science.

What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related. Sperm whales live in close-knit, female-led societies, and the new observations show how those dynamics persist in the animals’ most significant and vulnerable moments.

I love the colors in this one, who is the subject sitting by the window?

I agree, rather I was surprised that threads grew big enough for people to be trying to migrate away from it.

In my area / friend circles, I don’t know anyone that continued to use Threads after the initial launch. However, there are people using Mastodon, Bluesky, and Twitter

I think if someone is interested in the topic, then they will be better equipped to navigate tech products if they’ve learned about what’s going on under the hood. Same as health/science education for navigating pop science, or mechanical knowledge for navigating scammy car mechanics.

I agree on some of the other points though. I would not use any of the random chat apps that these new accounts have been posting

The tooltip explanation for the handles should help, since that’s a very common point of confusion.

especially for more mainstream users looking for an alternative to X or Threads.

That many people use Facebook Threads? That sounds like saying “especially for more mainstream users looking for an alternative to Reddit or New Digg.”

I think it would be nice as an opt-in feature in the user settings

Totally! I think you can also include a link to the Pixelfed version of your post on future posts here, so that people can subscribe over time. I’ve seen a handful of people doing that :)

So many new community icons for !SandwichPosting@sh.itjust.works

They could place the avocado in the middle, so that it is close to both while still being “correct”
