Academics on Mastodon
Anyone now claiming that no one uses the Fediverse, clearly has no clue as to what they are talking about.
There is a large academic presence on Mastodon alone, and Mastodon is just part of the wider Fediverse. The first list below [1] is an excellent resource there is also Trunk, which also lists by interest / topic.

Fediverse Getting Started – May 2023
I decided to re-write and republish this, so the post can focus on the wider picture of what the Fediverse is.
This has been undertaken following comments / conversations on #Mastodon about people not actually referring to the #Fediverse directly, of which #Mastodon is one of many services. A different video is presented below, along with an infographic and #Hastags to the services listed This list has also been added to the #index page.

Getting started is easy, if you need help please get in touch. I can be contacted on the fediverse via @[email protected]

Windows 10 support end date is October 25th, 2025
Windows 10 support ends next year, if your hardware is fine, but you don't want to or can't upgrade to Windows 11 or beyond. Maybe have a look at Linux mint [1] as a replacement.
You need to look at what you are using your computer for, Linux based systems are NOT for everyone, esp if you are a gamer, but there are a lot of tasks you can do just as well on a Linux system as you can on Windows. Office apps are covered in the form of LibreOffice, for example [2].

Space Bricks from meteorite dust
LEGO creates 'space bricks' made from meteorite dust – Physics World
Interesting article from Physics world, on a possible construction solution for bases on the Moon. Lego and a team of scientists from the ESA have created bricks from material from a crushed meteorite and a few other materials
I have started a Fediverse thread on this topic to ask if this technology could perhaps be combined with Boron Nitride in order to provide extra space radiation shielding.
