@PawelK I am pretty glad I came here. A lot of people I followed to the political left spent most of their time responding to right wing personalities’ posts on Twitter so I couldn’t even really prune my timeline effectively anymore.
@PawelK I guess we may differ in opinion. I believe mostly that people should have a right to say, but I also will judge them accordingly. I also generally feel like Parler users and those flocking back to twitter tend to believe bigoted speech is free speech. I’m just not interested in that type of community. This is my opinion though and it was great hearing yours. I could get pretty crabby on Twitter and I am actively trying not to do that here :)
You are right though it seems Mastodon is what you make of it so in the end there is probably an instance for anything.
@kristinmbranson That is really interesting. It seems geographically there is a decent amount of diversity even though the gender is stuck. It looks like in overall software engineering the representation is about the same. From a quick search it looks like women make up about 17 to 20% of the field.

Lots of interesting info. Some surprises:
* Gender disparity in data science is dismal and not improving.
* VSCode & Colab are on the rise.

Time for everyone to upgrade their tzdata to the latest version, particularly if your software needs to work properly in Mexico (which enacted permanent DST on short notice).
Someone should translate Matt Johnson-Pint's article into Spanish: https://codeofmatt.com/on-the-timing-of-time-zone-changes/

Okay let's make a first little Introduction:
Hi, I am Alex, you might already saw me on Twitter, hackaday.io or in real life. Currently living in Munich. Will post mostly about my electronics Projects (PCBs, LEDs...) and occasional Travelling. Here are some nice picture of old projects, expect more and new soon.
@freemo funny and accurate! It’s hard to see the knight coming.

@dev_Paul They are great. I’m glad they seem to have enough to eat even if their diet was our pumpkins this year. We lost all of ours!
@inspired @jacqueline even with my iphone 12 the lightning port was still the first thing to go out. The wireless charging is a major innovation that is allowing me to keep electronics longer.

A few years ago I made this flow chart of which Mastodon posts end up in which timelines!
So, you can see how each instance will have a different local timeline, and even a slightly different federated timeline - and you can see why the federated timeline moves so much faster than the local one, too.
This is why it's important to boost good posts and use hashtags - the fediverse is fragmented and harder to search by nature.
An evening visitor. Despite being just 5 miles from downtown #pittsburgh we see tons of our woodland friends.
@InvincibleMoose this could be a good Halloween party strategy. I have one hour to dress up as either Ken or Ryu!
@jferg nice work! The new wood looks a lot better. :)
@antares it comes full circle for me! I originally said free speech without remembering that most amplified free speech is just corporate speech.
@antares Yeah, I’m in the land of Dr. Oz so I would be glad if something good came out of the money his campaign is spending. :) Is prop 27 about the one about sports gambling?
