#introduction
Hello! I'm new here like many others, figured I'd try out all of the birdapp alternatives.

I'm a #linux user currently running arch/KDE on my main rig and PopOS/Gnome on my laptop.

I play a lot of video games, I read a lot of books. #overwatch #godofwar #gaming #linuxgaming #fantasy #scifi

I've been trying to learn #python for a few years now. Not so easy for me.

But yeah, hello! :)

Excited to see #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon take root here. There is an instance/server you can join: https://blacktwitter.io/about

#OpenCircuits just landed!
Very interesting read so far. I've got close to 40 years to catch up on electronics! Thank you @oskay for this book.

Hey Philly and the rest of PA, wouldn’t you love to stick it to Texas this week by showing up and voting blue? It would feel pretty good, right?? Just putting that out there. 😀 #blueWave #pleaseVote #thankYou #theRealWinnersAreWomenWhoHaveBodilyAutonomy

Notebookcheck.net: GPD Win 4: Company confirms launch window as crowdfunding campaign listing arrives.

Looks like there are some pretty big new features in the first Mastodon 4.0 release candidate: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.0.0rc1

A few that caught my eye (there's loads more):

- ability to follow hashtags
- ability to translate posts
- support for uploading WebP/AVIF/HEIC
- change post editing to be enabled in web UI
- no more /web prefix on web app paths

* 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.

Hi! Let me give an #introduction.

I'm a #software-devleoper working primarily with #clojure. My beautiful wife is an author (cindybaldwinbooks.com) and we have a nine year old girl.

I'm a #futurist and a #maker and always have something in progress. My current #wip is a rotating Christmas tree stand (the image is a 3D printed gear for it). I also play around with #raspberry-pi #pico #arduino #3d-printing.

I enjoy the outdoors go #backpacking. This week I'm going to hike the #narrows in Southern Utah.

I enjoy #linguistics and can speak #german pretty well, and a little bit of a lot of other languages.

I enjoy #philosophy, #photography, #building things, #investing and a lot of other things. I'm a #polypotentialite.

There is no reason to not use #ContentWarnings, or to not mark #media as #sensitive, wherever appropriate.

People who feel annoyed by having to click on #warnings before they can see the #content can have everything immediately displayed by changing their settings under Preferences > Appearance > Sensitive Content.

Just joined. Hello everyone. Something I've learnt today, if you connect a I2C device to a #QtPy using the StemmaQT connector make sure to use Wire1 not Wire if you program it using #Arduino
