First real toot so I want to be really clear:
Black lives do matter
Human rights extend to Trans rights
Gender is not binary
White/Christian nationalism/supremacy has no place in society

"Ask a programming question on the Web" is sometimes as difficult as doing the actual programming. Reducing a problem in complex real-world systems to an clean, minimal, answerable, reproducible example can take serious efforts.

Boss: "What have you done today?"
Programmer: "I asked a programming question online."

@derickflorian I guess this is as close to me being a greybeard. It was one of the first two #Unix/Unix-like books that I got. The other was for #Solaris administration. #BSD #FreeBSD

I create open source robots as a hobby to inspire kids into doing (rather than just studying) STEM. Here's where I've got to with my K9 robot dog: https://youtu.be/tn8NwvOmrxw

Hello Mastodon,

I'm a software engineer who has lived in Dallas, Texas, USA my entire life until last year my wife, daughter, and I moved to Copenhagen, Denmark.

In my free time (when I have it) I play video games, board games, research flat earth conspiracy theories, watch other people play video games, learn Danish, and take on side projects usually involving data visualization. I also might talk your ear off about how cool the submarine fiber optic cables are.

My real name is Kevin. Welcome to Mastodon. Keep your arms and legs in the vehicle at all times and enjoy the ride.

Hey all, I encourage you to donate to @dansup who is building Pixelfed.

Pixelfed completely replaces Instagram, and has some *big* improvements:

1. Unlike Instagram, you can upload photos through a web browser
2. Unlike Instagram, you can look at all photos and videos without being nagged to log in
3. Unlike Instagram, you can receive updates from Mastodon, Pleroma, and Misskey

I love Pixelfed so much, I've been running an instance (peerverse.space) for 7 months!

you write a whole bunch of plot snippets and character traits, and then you just combine it to make up a story
