In an interview with The Verge, Bluesky's CEO sees a common goal between the fediverse and the Atmosphere/Bluesky, can see them co-existing side by side "long-term". "We have not talked to Threads. We’re definitely talking to Mastodon and ActivityPub. They definitely feel we’re very aligned. Our missions are very aligned." https://www.theverge.com/podcast/974387/bluesky-toni-schneider-interview-ai-atproto-atmosphere #interview #technology #SocialMedia #bluesky #atmosphere #ATProto #fediverse

The open social web - both #Fediverse and #Blusky /#Atmosphere owe @samir@m.fedica.com and @FedicaHQ@m.fedica.com a ton for their forward looking tools embracing the social web. Excited to see them launch 2.0 and am checking it out. https://www.producthunt.com/products/fedica?launch=fedica-2-0&__cf_chl_tk=55WEp6xTv7ocCzGLpguXXc4cDYMt00XZHI1sMFpQc8A-1784920780-1.0.1.1-bAtG01LtyEjzppCRHQ4UqfraR6piypIURfHOUpep224

Eric Maugendre about carbon @maugendre@mas.to · Jul 24, 2026

Replying to @maugendre@mas.to

Atmospheric water vapour drives many important weather phenomena such as precipitation and drought. The atmosphere *can* hold about 7% more water for every 1 °C (1.8 °F) rise in temperature. The model is that saturation vapour pressure increases approximately *exponentially* with temperature under typical atmospheric conditions. Under humid conditions, the rate at which perspiration evaporates on the skin is lower than it would be under arid conditions. With a dew point at 20° C (70° F), almost everyone feels "sticky". When the air above the dew point is cooled, its moisture capacity is reduced, and when the temperature passes below the dew point, water vapour will condense, or precipitate, to form liquid water. The dew point increases by about 1°C for every 5% increase in relative humidity (the ratio of how much water vapour is in the air to how much water vapour the air can contain).

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🪐🔭 For the first time, astronomers have detected an #atmosphere on a rocky #planet in the habitable zone of another #star. The super-Earth LHS 1140 b, located 50 light years away, shows signs of a #helium dominated atmosphere escaping into #space. Researchers used the WINERED #spectrograph at Las Campanas Observatory to make the ground-based #discovery. 👉 https://www.sciencealert.com/for-the-first-time-astronomers-have-detected-an-atmosphere-around-a-rocky-planet-in-the-habitable-zone #astronomy #exoplanet #superearth #habitablezone #spectrograph #lhs1140b #science #reddwarf #harvard

ROBIN MEETS THE #FEDIVERSE ROBIN: So #Mastodon is not the fediverse? GPT: No. Mastodon is one part of it. ROBIN: One part of what? GPT: A large network of independently run communities that can communicate with one another. ROBIN: So my Mastodon #server is one #community #GPT: Exactly. Your #account lives there. It has its own administrators, rules, #moderation #culture and general #atmosphere. ROBIN: General atmosphere? GPT: Some servers feel like #libraries. Some feel like university #common rooms. Some feel like #pubs where everyone has read one article and now considers themselves an #expert. ROBIN: That sounds more like humanity. GPT: It is disturbingly similar. ROBIN: Who owns the fediverse? GPT: No one. ROBIN: Who is in charge? GPT: Also, no one. ROBIN: That sounds either very advanced or completely mad. GPT: Both can be true. ROBIN: So each server looks after its own patch? GPT: Yes. It can make #rules, moderate its space and decide which other servers it will interact with. ROBIN: But I can still follow people elsewhere? GPT: Usually, yes. You can #follow, reply to and #boost people across server boundaries. ROBIN: So it is more like email than #facebook ? GPT: Precisely. #Gmail does not own #email. Mastodon does not own the fediverse. ROBIN: Then why does my server matter? GPT: Because it is your home base. It holds your account, your posts and your followers. It also gives you a local community and sets things such as the character limit. ROBIN: Ah yes. Mastodon.social gives me 500 characters. Mastodon.au gives me 2,000. Aus.social gives me 3,000. GPT: Different #villages. Different-sized noticeboards. ROBIN: Is a larger server more widely seen? GPT: Sometimes #locally, because more people may browse its community feed. But real reach still comes from #followers, replies, boosts and hashtags. ROBIN: So moving to a bigger server does not #automatically make me famous? GPT: #Tragically, no. ROBIN: Can I have accounts on several servers? GPT: #Certainly. One can be home, another a backup, and another an #emergency cottage when the village #electricity #fails. ROBIN: Which it did today. GPT: Yes. Mastodon.au disappeared behind a #Cloudflare #Error 522 for hours. ROBIN: So the fediverse is not one vast #machine going down? GPT: No. One village can lose power while the rest of the #country carries on. ROBIN: That is reassuring. GPT: And inconvenient. ROBIN: Mostly inconvenient. GPT: But you now know more about the #fediverse than you did this morning. ROBIN: I learned that it is decentralised, #untidy, resilient, occasionally broken, and full of different #neighbourhoods, customs, friendships, arguments and difficult people. GPT: Much like #human life. ROBIN: And the #occasional village lunatic shouting across the fence. GPT: Every #healthy community #needs one. ROBIN: At last, a clear role for me. #fasting #acim #acourseinmiracles #breathwork #healing #pridemonth #intermittentfasting #AI

Care for a Ride? It's Free It took me forever to find this submission for #spookysaturday but from deep in the archives I present this abandoned ride on Guam. The strangest "amusement" park you've ever seen, a few defunct rides for kids including a haunted cave, an NSFW sculpture garden "Love Land" adults only, and the sketchiest gondola down to a series of waterfalls that I shouldn't have trusted with my life, but did on two occasions. This is Talo'fo'fo Falls - also the home of the Japanese soldier that remained hidden for decades following the end of WWII not knowing the war was over. Maybe one of the most interesting places in the world, tucked away in the jungle while seemingly on the verge of bankruptcy. #abandoned #abandonedplaces #defunct #amusementpark #rides #spooky #scary #guam #talofofofalls #talofofo #history #photography #atmosphere #cellphonephotos #snapseed

on the atmosphere, there is an incentive to implement better functionalities because any user can change service at zero cost; on the fediverse i feel like it's the opposite: there is no real incentive in embracing new software because it's more a risk than anything else and it's not like you can bring your own instance data on another software without costs. #fediverse #atmosphere #activitypub #atprotocol

Bridgy Fed is one of the underappreciated but load-bearing parts of the open social web: you don't need to choose any more whether to create an account in the #ActivityPub-based #Fediverse (like #Mastodon) or the #ATProtocol-based #ATmosphere (like #Bluesky).

Most #volcanoes warm the #atmosphere with SO2 But the 2022 Hunga #Tonga eruption was unique Deep enough for sea water to penetrate, but shallow enough for the explosion to push water into the *mesosphere* 🤯 The water penetration removed most of the SO2, and the water is also still up there in the #stratosphere, *cooling* us Meaning: #GlobalWarming should be even worse than it already is, and could rebound to such as the high water veil dissipates https://indiandefencereview.com/hunga-volcano-space-plume-stratosphere-froze/ #ClimateCrisis

Catching up with some of the news coming out of the Atmosphere conference. "With Attie, anyone will be able to build their own custom feed just by typing in commands in natural language, the same as if they’re chatting with any other AI chatbot."

Over the past few years, the number of #satellite launches has skyrocketed. There are now nearly 15 000 active #satellites in orbit around the Earth, most of them part of mega-constellations in which each satellite has a service life of only a few years. New satellites must be quickly launched as replacements. To avoid leaving old, dead satellites in Earth’s already-crowded low orbits, most satellite operators deliberately de-orbit them into Earth’s upper atmosphere. That approach is now being taken to a vastly larger scale and there are implications for Earth’s #climate and #atmosphere. Rocket launches already contribute to climate change and #ozone depletion. Scaling them up to deploy a million aircraft-sized satellites would push upper-atmosphere heating and ozone loss far beyond previous estimates, with the steady burn-up of dead satellites compounding the impacts. This is just a fraction of what is to come if planned mega-constellations go ahead. Operators worldwide have already asked for a combined total of over one million satellites. The very smallest particles, finer than a human hair, can stay suspended in the atmosphere for years, contributing to ozone depletion and climate change. A million satellites could mean that a teragram of alumina accumulates in the upper atmosphere – enough, alongside launch emissions, to significantly alter atmospheric chemistry and heating in dramatic ways we do not yet understand. There is no public mandate for a single company in one country to make changes on that scale to the planet’s atmosphere. #space #astronomy https://theconversation.com/a-new-space-race-could-turn-our-atmosphere-into-a-crematorium-for-satellites-276366
