This #war is setting off a major transformation of #Europe and the #EU. #Energy, #Food, #Industry, #Defence, all in for profound changes in coming years. Hopefully for the good, but not without pain.
But above all, this #war will inevitably transform the #EU as a political construction. I can't tell into what, but I hope that something like Draghi's #PragmaticFederalism prevails.
"This is Europe", Mario Draghi's address to the European Parliament, the speech every #European needs to listen (English subtitles available).
The share values of #Europe:
#Freedom, #Democracy, #Solidarity, #Humanity, #Prosperity, were not built for free and we must yet again fight for them, sacrifice for them.
Today is #EuropeDay.
It marks the 72nd anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, a starting point for the EU as we know it today.
Only through unity and solidarity are we able to maintain the European project. Together we are stronger.

Did you see the news that all of the #JWST instruments are aligned now?
Check out this comparison of one of the newly released calibration images from the MIRI instrument compared to images taken of the same region of space by the WISE and Spitzer space telescopes! Look at that resolution! So many newly resolved stars and structures! 🤩
I can't wait for all the new discoveries we'll make with JWST! #Science data starts in only a couple months!

Good morning #Fediverse. One of the things I learnt these past few days is the existence of #BookWyrm, the federated counterpart to the popular GoodReads service.
Now, I already have a #Fediverse account here at #Mastodon. How can I start posting my book reviews to #BookWyrm?
#BookReview of A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine.
Starting the discussion on how to bring the @osgeo@twitter.com foundation to the #Fediverse.

Hi to all! I'm Fedir Gontsa from Ukraine and I'm a cartographic designer. I work with #QGIS, #Python and other opensource #GIS and tools.
My #portfolio is https://www.behance.net/gontsa
I make beautiful #maps.
And this is my first toot!
Did you know that you can easily include complex diagrams in your markdown files using #mermaid?
See for example https://codeberg.org/PGPainless/pgpainless/src/branch/main/ECOSYSTEM.md
It works out of the box on Github and @codeberg (possibly other #gitea instances as well?)
@juliobiason @gargron I’d assume it’s an influx of users considering the bird app news. That’s why I’m back! One of the instances I was looking at (can’t remember which) said they went from 10 new requests to join in a day to 300 in a 4 hour period.
Welcome to all of you, tiled windows fans who are uncomfortable with your data becoming private property of the richest man on earth.
Welcome Twitter refugees. There’s enough room for you here (and, by the way, we know how to make the best use of a given available space. That’s what Regolith is about ;-) )
As one of the main Mastodon developers, I can't promise you that Mastodon will be a complete and exact Twitter replacement for you, but it may fit your use-cases, at least it does for me.
Just keep in mind that it is not exactly the same thing, some core design decisions are different (there isn't an unique centrally-governed website, but many interconnected servers operated by different individuals and organizations) and thus the tradeoffs can be different as well.
While I personally don't think Mastodon should aim at being an exact replacement to Twitter, I do hope Mastodon can be useful to more people wanting an alternative to Twitter! And I know there are lots of room for improvement, on things we do know, and on things we don't.
Also keep in mind that Mastodon is developed by only two core developers payed through a non-profit funded through sponsorship, grants and donations, so please be patient!
This is a good summary of the nature of #Autism.
