I thought it would be nice to start my Mastodon adventure with a (what a lovely adventure into cuteness this hashtag is). This is Jess, my family's eldest dog. Her hobbies are splashing in puddles and playing fetch with every toy imaginable.

To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

@zazu Sounds like my day .... oh well i got shit in order by the end

@petrikursula All doggos and puppers on our instance are required to report immediately to the Admin for cuddles and treats!

FYI to all my Electronics people out there.

Did you know you can represent capacitance and inductance with a complex number and by doing so you would incorporate ESR (equivalent series resistance) into your equations. Essentially you dont have to model with idealized components and add in the parasitics manually, you can add the parasitics directly into the capacitance or inductance of your components!

See the following equation in my blog and the subsequent explanation if you want some further details and examples: jeffreyfreeman.me/an-indepth-l

@battaglia01 Yes latex has a kown bug right now, it will be fixed in the short term.

@robryk yes i have a fix for this (I hope) and am working on putting it out

@ParkinJim

It is a pleasure having you and I am happy to provide the service!

#introduction

Hi folks, test-driving Mastodon. It does remind me of the olden days of #irc (in a good way).

I teach computer engineering technology at the University of Kentucky. I'm originally from #Germany.

My main interests here:

#technology
#softwareengineering
#git
#linux
#unix
#science
#engineering
#astronomy
#audioengineering
#electromagnetics
#ieee

#kentucky
#ruhrgebiet
#ostfriesland
#bochum

#hbcu
#ethics
#firstgen

@freemo I've served on several senior membership elevation panels. It's still a great accomplishment. Congrats again! #IEEE truly is a great organization.

@JensHannemann Thank you. I can say it will certainly motivate me to be more active in IEEE as well.

@JensHannemann prestige isnt too important to me, but would be cool if that were the case one day.

@mguhlin

It would have been great to have you, but the beauty of the fediverse is we can connect anyway.

QOTO has a ton of features though and one that maybe be of use to people who are considering moving is our timeline/instance subscription. You can effectively bring the local timeline of a foreign instance into your account. so you can set it up so a column locally on QOTO is a reflection of the local timeline on the instance you are coming from. This helps make you feel likeyou havent lost anything by moving.
