Friendly #Mastodon Tip of the Day 3
Filling in the text description for pics posted is really appreciated.
There’s a big community of visually impaired people here and doing it means they’re not excluded. (shame on you #Twitter )
If you’re on your phone, tap on the pic and start typing. On desktop you’re given a prompt.
It’s easy, fun to do, helps the community and increases your following.
🔃Reblog and follow me for more daily tips.
Friendly #Mastodon Tip of the Day 8
There are third-party tools to find the Mastodon accounts of people you followed on #Twitter :
Twitodon
https://twitodon.com
FediFinder https://fedifinder.glitch.me
DeBirdify https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/
Each site will search through your lists of Twitter accounts looking for Mastodon account information (if available), and produce a downloadable .csv list.
With that list you can follow everyone here.
Follow and 🔁 repost for daily tips.
Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.
20,000+ followers here at #Mastodon after less than three days is a huge encouragement.
Thank you for welcoming us in #fediverse and for your incredible support. We need it. The #memory needs it.

Open source can be low cost, but it isn't free, and for those actively building, moderating, maintaining, it can take a lot of time and effort, and that definitely isn't free. Donate, support, build your own, contribute, collaborate...
These points from @tchambers make sense:
Server admins. Stay vigilant. Starting to get content from #maga instances in my feed. #mastoadmin
the behavior of randomly initialized neural networks can give us intuition about what they can model.
Here I plot paths using random LSTMs and varying dropout. The LSTMs compute the velocity at each step as a function of position.
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
Posting about culture, philosophy, politics, AI Art Tools, NaNoWriMo, Software Development occasionally, the relationship of consciousness to matter.
Degrees in Philosophy and Computer Science, once had a US TS/SCI(redacted) clearance, radical-for-the-US politics, ex-Libertarian, zen-buddhist-pantheist-atheist.
Google employee, but I do not speak for Google in any way.
If your profile tells me nothing about you, it's less likely I'll follow you (back).
