People have asked “what is the connection between astrophysics and LPPFusion’s fusion research?” Our device uses plasma instabilities to form filaments to compress and heat the plasma. This process is found everywhere in the cosmos. A new paper in the leading journal Astronomy and Astrophysics shows that a hierarchy of filaments-within-filaments leads to the formation of stars like our Sun. Hannes Alfven first hypothesized this process in 1972.

LPPFusion Chief Scientist Eric J. Lerner recently published an article in MNRAS--a leading AstronomyJournal--that suggests the Big Bang expansion theory is wrong. Lerner's book "The Big Bang Never Happened" was published decades ago. Cosmology theories affect plasma physics and ultimately our understanding of fusion energy, and our ability to reproduce a star-like power here on Earth. Recently, others have begun to question it as well.

The Canadian documentary Let There Be Light, released in March 2017, featured LPPFusion along with a few more private and government fusion research projects in the world. The documentary follows the story of dedicated scientists building a small sun on Earth. It is now free to watch for Amazon Prime users.

Our little sun in the lab, once functional, will put a stop to air, soil and land pollution by fossil fuels and it will lift the standard of living for everyone in the world to the point where resource wars will become obsolete.

HEY.

HEY. YOU.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU.

go follow my two friends and give them a warm welcome cause they just joined the fediverse!!!!!

It was supposed to be a surrealist plushie but... it may look a bit more sci-fi than surrealist? Maybe, idk

Which data fits better? How does cosmology affect fusion research? See here:

"You should make it so people can search for and jump into hundreds of conversations at once if they want." "Ooh, good idea! I imagine only the most well-informed people with the most critical information to share will use that feature."

Are you fucking kidding

I understand modern autogyros are much more stable, so I've probably angered the autogyro people by impugning their safety. Once they finish building the autogyros they've been working on in their garages for 10 years, they'll come after me.

I'm super excited to have an instance dedicated to music discussion. I feel like this is going to make for a *very* lively and interesting local time line.

So, let's kick things off right.

I run a radio station at http://radio.ofmanytrades.com

It's a selection of the #Jazz, #Blues, and #Country music from the #Archive.org Great 78 collection.

If you'd like to know more, you can learn a little more here: http://ajroach42.com/listen-like-it-s-1949/

Hey everyone, thanks to @djsundog you can find me talking about music over at @ajroach42

I'll probably lay off the music talk on this instance, so if that's why you're following me, follow me there instead.

People are asking me to implement webmentions, and since I don't have a strong opinion on it (it would not be hard to implement), here's another poll: https://www.strawpoll.me/15428538

Webmentions are like blog pingbacks, essentially, if you remember those.

@rysiek What would be sad is, honestly, I think users would flock to them, despite knowing that they're insecure.

I'm reminded of this USpol-adjacent comic.

At this point I would actually want to see a prepared statement from a large company reacting to a data breach, which starts with:
"We do not take data security seriously. We don't give a rat's arse about your privacy. Honestly, we can't be bothered. We know you're coming back anyway".

It would be refreshingly honest, really.

So a while ago I set out to rewrite the default Mastodon privacy policy to have a more limited scope and be more explicit about Mastodon features (because the original was adopted from WordPress, which is a totally different beast!). I've put a formatted render of the new text in here: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/6666

I wanna hear if people think it's okay to adopt. It might still have some vague wording because it's a default policy, but should be an overall improvement...
