So cool. If you zoom in on the upper right, you see a little crescent. That's the Martian moon Phobos.

Zoom in again and you'll see a star next to Phobos. That's Earth! That's home.

Seen from Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover.

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, to capture this view of Earth setting while Phobos, one of Mars' two moons, is rising. It's the first time an image of the two celestial bodies have been captured together from the surface of Mars.

If you're looking for something new to do this year, I just posted the last edition of the audiogames.net monthly digest. I haven't posted about these here in a while though I probably really should, because there's a lot happening. This most recent one covers all blind friendly game releases I heard about both on the audiogames.net forum and off throughout December and even into the new year and boy there was a lot to cover. A lot of games got modded to be accessible, including both entries in the hand of fate series as well as the Phoenix Wright trilogy and that's just the tip of the iceberg. There's also rhythm games, some christmas vibes, a bunch of games for iOS and so much more. forum.audiogames.net/post/9424…

Thanks for keeping these coming. FYI the GitHub link didn't work for Loco Motive mod, valid link is github.com/Lirin111/LocoMotive…

Happy New Year - Gelukkig Nieuwjaar - Einen Guten Rutsch - Bonne Année - Sǎn Bɛ Sǎn Bɛ - Mwaka mwerú mwega!
"One whose seeds have not sprouted, does not give up planting!"
This is a Kikuyu proverb about perseverance, resilience,, and not giving up on future potential despite a lack of noticeable results so far. This felt like a good New Year's motivation to post. Basically, you've got this!

I was just thinking about the old days of Google since it came up, and I realized something. My favorite era of Google, around 2010 or so, was a lot like the Fediverse. On my homepage I got important news, a preview of my emails that I could expand if I needed to and the weather. I'd get jokes of the day, and then I'd get random stuff like articles on the history of cheese or the world's oldest forest. It was a very peaceful routine I had every morning, like reading a newspaper but more fun.

So that's 2025. Honestly when the year started I didn't feel great about what was to come, and I feel like this year's been harder than most, but I'm Beyond grateful to all the friends I made along the way who helped me get through it. I sometimes think to myself "do I really have anymore room for new people in my life?" And somehow, the answer is always yes.

Particular shoutouts go to @bscross32 @McOi @JessicatheVIArtist and @jonathan859. I also of course am legally required to mention @gallagher123123, we've known each other for so long we're practically brothers at this point. I love you all, and thanks for everything. Here's to a great 2026!

Man that's meaningful to read. Very thankful for our convos and sessions especially towards the end! Those calls were sometimes just making it much easier to escape rl problems and focus on what's fun, so just in musical terms 2025 wasn't bad at all. But in all things counted in I hope 2026 would be better yeah. That said hope you too have a good year up ahead man, and good luck with the studdy things starting soon by the way. Remember to not stress too much if possible:), and you're great to hang with!

I want to use the last day of the year to thank the community here on Mastodon.

Every day, I learn things here that are worth learning. The discussions are, by Internet standards, very polite and focused on the issues.

But most importantly, I see people here having a voice that they do not have in traditional media or in algorithm-driven social media.

That makes Mastodon extremely valuable, and we should all strive to preserve that.

The year 2025 has been a tough one, and I have little optimism that 2026 will be easier. We will likely see a further rise in authoritarianism, fascism, and racism.

To stem the tide, we must work together. My wish for the coming year is that we continue to see others fighting the same fight as allies, even if they have different priorities for where they invest their energy.

But please take care of yourselves. Do not feel guilty about time spent on self-maintenance. Keep this in mind: You can only help others if you are first in a position to do so.

Best wishes from Kiel, Martin

P.S. Special thanks to @jerry for maintaining this instance. I really feel "at home" here.

Wow, that silence when they finally burned all their money...
Well I remember the moment from last year as it was yesterday. I know I ate chocolate back then, posting on a german masto account that no longer exists. I repeat myself, it's weird, the year feels empty even though it's been so significant for my life, I mean I finished school, started an apprenticeship... Well you know the story I guess. Let's get some sweets and enjoy the rest of the night.
