okay actual intro.

hello! i'm ceefax i'm just your local guy that actually consists of multiple guys (plural.) i'm 21 (until tommorow. then i'm 22), i use it/its pronouns, and i'm the good old nonbinary

i'm an artist and writer, who's been working on a whole bunch of fictional sci-fi nonsense for a long while now! maybe i'll post a bit about it. i also love messing around with old cameras, collecting plushies, baking (i volunteer at a cafe!), and old television stuff. if the name didn't give it away to those who know anything about old british TV stuff lol

it's been a long time since i've touched anything fedi related, so i'm very rusty here. gimme some time to get back into the swing of things! anything, it's lovely being here :] i'll leave you all with a picture of my baby, beeb

I don't have an #intro post because it'd probably some rambling apology like:

"Hello there! I am sorry that you have felt compelled to check out my profile, have thought about following me, or worse, are actually following me. This is an hyper-un-focused account and whatever good brought you here will in all probability be too few and far between. I apologize."

Bonjour à toustes, moi c'est Gabi. J'étais sur Eldritch Café avant de ragequit mon compte. Je voudrais m'abonner à des comptes plus positifs et d'entraide cette fois-ci et moins retooter de news anxiogènes. Je suis une femme queer métisse noire francophone neuroatypique. Je m'intéresse à l'art sous toutes ses formes. J'adore Doctor Who, Steven Universe. J'aime les chats et voir des photos de minous me recoiffe toujours le moral. J'adore la musique et je suis en ce moment dans une période d'écoute de gospel. Si vous voulez en savoir plus, lisez mes prochains toots et venez me parler. Je ne mors pas, promis . Merci de retooter.

It's been a while, so time for a new #intro :

I am a scientist at the meteo institute of Norway (MET Norway). I live in #Oslo . I work on #satellite, #climate and #SeaIce, with various institutions like #ESA and #EUMETSAT.

The banner pic of my profile is an artist view of a satellite flying above our Earth. This is the European CIMR satellite that will fly in the early 2030s.

I am trying to be better at #OpenScience, #music, and #Bass / #BassGuitar .

I post in English, French, and Norwegian.

I am @lavergnetho on Loops too.

For those who might be looking for a good introductory book to Emacs, here is a book that also is really comprehensive.

Waclena, K. (2024). _Use GNU Emacs: The Plain Text Computing Environment_. University of Chicago. https://www2.lib.uchicago.edu/keith/emacs/

You can browse the book in the web, or download it in PDF, ePub and Kobo ePub.

boosts appreciated!!!

Since profile length is variable here's a go at a pinned post:

hey, i'm someone that likes trying different tech stuff but also astronomy, biology, open access research, etc. in short: learning all sorts of things.

likely to share a mix of silly and interesting stuff.

#Intro

Greetings! I've moved instances so now it's time to rewrite an #intro

I love #languages #linguistics and #etymology. I'm hesitant to list what languages I study as my interests tend to shift, but I know a few phrases in some European languages. Speaking is the hardest part of using a language given that darn real-time compilation aspect, so it's safe to say reading is the easiest to get a grasp of. I've really gotten in to #Latin of late thanks to my dealings with learning plant species.

Speaking of which, I'm also really into #NativePlants, #ReWilding and #Permaculture. I've spent over the past 2 years converting my traditional American hellscape of a lawn into a recovering (thriving, even?) ecosystem of native plants. It's not much, but it's work Currently I'm tracking over 110 species I've either transplanted or nurtured. How am I tracking that? Well, I'm also into #SoftwareEngineering

For that project, I just built a simple, local CRUD webapp with some mapping functionality for logging where I plant things, how they're doing and some basic info about them. Outside of work I work on a lot of small projects like the one above, but they've all felt so much more interesting than the work I get paid to do. That's how life goes, I suppose. Anyway, brief list of what I've built: DIY 6 Zone Automated Sprinkler system with ball valves (!) controlled by an ESP32 running ESPHome, A local webapp that (among other things) uses diceware to create unique passwords, A Slack bot for friends that admins a game of Cards Against Humanity, I built a web scraper service for a local nonprofit to better collect municipality permit data, I've gone through 3 iterations of installing 5v LED strips on a bike of mine to stay visible, I've probably written countless automations in #HomeAssistant. One thing remains true for most of my projects: I always end up overengineering the solution lol. It's a double-edged sword, but I'm trying to either embrace it or learn when to avoid it, depending on my mood for that day.

Last, let's talk about reading. I love #SciFi, but primarily #HardSciFi. Anything where there's more focus on the technology being used. Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Greg Egan, Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy. Always eager to take some book recommendations.

Anyway, I think that's enough of an intro to satisfy the Mastodon.

`Press any key to continue...`

¡Buenas!
Aquí va una pequeña #presentación ~

En realidad ya llevo un par de años en el fediverso, con mi cuenta @hrandt, pero quisiera dejarla solo para temas artísticos. Con ese propósito me hice una cuenta personal en una instancia de Sharkey, pero acabé extrañando Mastodon, y cuando me enteré del nacimiento de #neopaquita quise formar parte. ¡Así que aquí estoy! Espero acostumbrarme al cambio, aunque creo que lo que peor voy a llevar es no tener los emojis de conejitos

En fin, que me enrollo. Un poco sobre mí...

Para quien no me conozca soy un conejete que hace cómics, juegos de rol y portadas para libros. Me gradué en biología y ahora estudio modistería, porque si algo me gusta es aprender de todo.

Más queer que un arcoíris, rojeras, feminista y anarquista relacional. Me gusta hablar de hobbies, tecnología, ecología y política. Y eso es lo que vais a encontrar en mi muro.

Más sobre mí:

New #introduction post!

I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.

My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.

I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)

When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.

I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.

I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.

Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!

Hello Mastodon !
Nous arrivons sur le fediverse :-) Voici une petite présentation de notre nouveau collectif de DJs lyonnais

Notre devise : La Musique et l'Humain
Notre souhait est de créer un espace où la fête est synonyme d'émotions musicales, de liens humains et de plaisir. Nous faisons en sorte que l'on se sente à nos fêtes comme l'on se sent à la maison : un espace chaleureux, bienveillant et inclusif où l'on vient écouter de la musique parce qu'elle nous fait vibrer, et parce qu'on s'y sent bien

Hey everyone! It’s my first toot? Been in the progress of getting away from all tech platforms that don’t really align with my tech ethics. Recently removed myself completely from Google and still working on self hosting everything I can!

Been learning how to draw. Learning Linux. Learning cyber security stuff and enjoying every minute. Been sober from league for a year and happily playing games to completion now. Hope to enjoy my time here! #intro #introduction #introductions #linux

Hello I’m Sally! Any pronoun vanta sent me
I like and memes
#intro

hey! I've just moved here today and i thought I'd start by introducing myself. I'm an ecologist, specialized in avian and herpetofaunal ecology. i am also very interested in the data science aspect of the discipline, and i am working on getting more familiar with the ins and outs of R programming, and hopefully moving to more conventional programming, so i can feed into my other interests.

i am also muchly into open source software, specifically Emacs and Void Linux, and in my free time, work on contributing to Void Linux packages and my Emacs config. i tend to talk about all of these things a lot.

I'm big on cats. well, basically everything about them. expect a LOT of photos.

i also play the guitar a little and I'm predominantly into loud and dark music. I do talk about the music i listen to as well, both here and on my blog articles.

i also occasionally like to indulge in woodworking, and i hope to get more active with it

i have been blogging since 2016, on and off, and recently revived my blog after a hiatus of nearly 2 years.

you can read more about me at https://peregrinator.site/about?1

Hey Mastodon, my name is Dana! I have a passion for video games, reading, and working to make the world a better place; for myself and all generations to follow.
I work for a non-profit called Jennifer Ann's Group. Our mission is to prevent teen dating violence through awareness, education, and advocacy. Part of how we accomplish this is by creating video games to help teach teens about key protective factors and building healthy relationships. I graduated with a bachelors degree in Esports Management and have been working to spread awareness about our Gaming Against Violence program.
We also support developers in our annual game jam!
Let's connect, I'd love to meet other like-minded individuals!

Hello Comics Camp! :) I'm Cryo, formerly co-creator of Drugs & Wires, currently drawing vaguely Prohibition themed comedy strips about my new OCs. I guess now that I'm drawing comics again this place should be a great fit #intro

#Intro post for the #Fediverse #Mastodon #introduction

We are #Allegan #Democrats in #Michigan #politics

This account mainly posts upcoming events and some current events interesting to people in Allegan who might be interested in supporting Democrats or opposing Republicans.

allow me to reintroduce myself!

I'm a librarian focusing on research reproducibility + research data management.
I gave an interview about me/my work a while ago that is honestly still relevant: http://acrl.ala.org/dh/2018/04/04/repro/

I love FOSS, open access, open educational resources, open EVERYTHING

I hate the corporate capture of scholarship

I am a hobby and craft hoarder

I also love my husband @remram44 and our super cute black cat Little Boss

I haven't done a reintroduction since I joined Fedi, and I wouldn't mind meeting and following more people. Boosts welcome.

Hello, I go by Null! I am a programmer, avid reader, long-time Tabletop RPG (TTRPG) GM, anticapitalist, weird horror fan, aspiring (if shy) writer, and a long suffering fan of anime. I identify as agender even though I don't talk about it much. I also enjoy cooking, brewing, mushrooms, gardening, ravens, typewriters, and well... a little of everything. I just like to answer questions.

I generally post random observations, tabletop RPG experiences, political thoughts (CWed), news commentary, short anime reviews, and the like. Please feel free to drop in for a message or reply - I'm open to conversation. Also, do feel free to let me know if I commit any faux pas. I'm pretty open to good-faith commentary and it's important to me that people feel safe.

Things I am reading right now (I can't focus on one book for long so I rotate):

* Field Notes from a Fungi Forager by Ashley Rodriguez
* The Tramp Printers by Charles Overbeck
* Liquidated by Karen Ho.
* We'll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida

So... Let's be friends?
