Academics, I am BEGGING YOU when you move on to a new uni please for the love of god leave a forwarding email!
Y'all all moving to a new uni every 5 seconds and your old email just dies. It's probably cleansing, like when a force quit closes 500 tabs, but I'm a tab! Please I want to talk to youuuuuu.
#Introduction! I'm Sam.
I'm a hobby programmer (mostly Rust these days -- feel free to check out https://github.com/sts10/). Interested in passwords/passphrases, privacy, Linux, Neovim, etc. Occasionally blog about those things here: https://sts10.github.io/
Been happily reading a lot of books this year (novels and non-fiction). Let's trade recommendations?!
I'm physically disabled, something that I almost never talk about, but probably should!
I've worked as a social media editor at CNN and BuzzFeed News, though am looking for a new job at the moment...
Been on here since '17 if you have questions!
* Boost (retweet) liberally.
* Follow (and unfollow/block/mute) liberally
* Feel free to be silly! Please! 🍍
* For your own posts, know that getting 5 to 10 "boosts" or likes is A LOT for Mastodon
* Use Content Warnings
* Add text descriptions to any images you post!
* Turn on two-factor authentication
* If you're new, be sure to read and listen a bit, especially about why things are the way they are around here.
Wow, seems like a LOT of #gamedev people are coming to the #fediverse. Looks like the gamedev.place is kinda dying of success like .social.
Let's hope the infrastructure gets better soon!
You can listen my new #house track, 64k right here!
I am still learning, but I am quite confortable with what I have done. There is still some mastering problems (I do not hear some elements in other devices, but well...)
As always, all the music production is done in a #linux system :)
Enjoy!

Hey folks of #TwitterMigration, how was your first weekend in #mastodon?
For me it has been a good week of discoveries, new people, new communities, new content. Thanks for all of this!
Elon threatened advertisers with a "thermonuclear name & shame" if they stopped advertising on twitter.
Since Elon is rich and obviously a genius, I decided to try the same approach: Blackmail!
Buy Ynglet on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1015920/Ynglet/
I need your help! If you have not, or will not buy Ynglet, please reply to this toot so I can name & shame you! Thank you for your cooperation! ❤️❤️❤️
✨ The first release candidate of Mastodon 4.0 is now officially available for testing! Find out what's new on the changelog:
Quantum Winter Is Coming
(I hope Sabine joins here at some point) #quantum #physics

For the past 7 years, I have posted hundreds of TUTORIALS, covering topics such as...
🌈 Shader coding
🎮 Game Development
🤖 Artificial Intelligence
📊 Mathematics
🦾 Inverse Kinematics
🔌 Electronics
If any of this sounds interesting to you, feel free to follow me and have a look at my website! 👇
The fact that the most trending hashtag right now is #caturday gives me 2010 twitter vibes, which is a good thing 😍
Hello!
After a few days figuring out Mastodon with the help of the folks at QOTO, I will formally introduce myself in order to pin this in my profile :)
My name is Abde and I am a computer scientist. My main domain is #NumericalCalculus and #ParallelComputing. I am currently a PhD student at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (#belgium) and working on porting numerical solvers for simulations on the GPU using #CUDA. You may find my first paper here: https://etna.math.kent.edu/vol.55.2022/pp687-705.dir/pp687-705.pdf
Other research interests are #complexity #computability #graphtheory #geometry #discretemath
I also work as a #VirtualReality developer. My current professional interests are #simulations #numericalcalculus #geometry. We also contribute in several #opensource projects. Most of my work is done in #Unity3D, so feel free to ask any questions!
As a hobby I do some #gamedev and also #musicproduction. I will share some snippets of what I do here, but for now I am focusing in crafting my art by producing #housemusic in #bitwig.
Please enjoy! I am not the most active but I am looking to build my Mastodon network, so feel free to follow and I will follow back :)

Ok, #TwitterMigration folks, I see a lot of people asking, "How do I find people on other servers on #Mastodon or the #fediverse.
Well, here's my #Feditip of how I went from 1 person alone on robot.rodeo to having almost 2,000 interesting people to follow in about 8 months...
A thread... 1/x
3. Follow absolutely anyone who gets boosted into your timeline because they said something that interests you.
4. Go check the bio and profile of people you follow. Follow the author on any interested boost. Click the hashtags in their bio. Follow interesting people there as well.
That's all I've done, and I've found almost 2,000 interesting people since April.
BUT, you can do something I couldn't...
3/x
1. Go to joinmastodon.com and look for servers with topics that interest you, or that have a lot of users. Go to those servers home pages and then follow the admin. That admin will likely boost interesting posts on that server, and as you follow people, your social graph will naturally expand into that server.
2. Go to search.twitter.com and run a search for "Mastodon." You'll find lots and lots of people posting links to their Mastodon profile. Follow anyone that interests you.
2/x
I am really liking this social network. However, I can understand why it can be difficult to get into. I did find it quite difficult even while I am still tech-savvy and a computer science myself.
I cannot see the regular elon-verse grasp the minimal knowledge about how this social network works. I see a lot of people giving the analogy of "it works just like e-mail, you have servers, etc".
In this era, there are people that think that Gmail(or hotmail) is the only provider of e-mail of the whole world. I already herd "let me gmail this to you".
It shouldn't be a bad thing that mastodon has mastodon.social and that beginners think that instance is the main one. People will at least start using it and learn the true values of Mastodon in the way.
PhD candidate | Developer | Math genius wannabe | 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇬🇧
I am a PhD student at Université Libre de Bruxelles (@ULBruxelles@twitter.com) in Computer Science. I mainly work with GPUs and implement numerical simulations.
I am also a numerical simulation engineer at Altheria Solutions (@AltheriaTech@twitter.com) working on VR applications.
In my spare time I do some music (at least trying to).
