Living in the Forest of Dean in the UK with my Swedish wife, teenage daughter and a chocolate Labrador (my wife's #hearingdog).

Love music, play #guitar, enjoy tech, read a lot, write quite a lot.

Day job: I run a #Linux support and consultancy business.

Run a weekly music show on #Mixcloud. Wrote my own playout software in #python.

Weekends: I do a bit of #gliding including teaching it.

That's my #introduction - what's next?

New here. Tell me what I need to know.

📈 Donations through Liberapay have jumped up a bit this week, as hundreds of you have started financially supporting the Mastodon and other Fediverse instances you have accounts on. As a result, we've reached new all-time highs: the number of accounts actively giving or receiving money through Liberapay has crossed the 10k threshold, and the weekly sum of active donations has risen above €15k.

Hello all!

This account is for the LinkML project. LinkML is an open #DataModeling framework that allows you to easily add #semantics to your data. It can be used to build #DataStandards and #DataDistionaries that are linked to #Ontologies.

The LinkML framework also comes with a number of tools for a range of activities, from generating code (primarily #python), and interchanging between #JSON/#YAML, #RDF, and #RelationalDatabases.

You can find a guide to LinkML here https://linkml.io/linkml, and our main #GitHub repo is here: https://github.com/linkml/linkml

We are a friendly and welcoming community, join us!

Officially erased my bird site presence this morning and with it my associated contacts. I haven't seen a wide-scale migration yet of the #weather / #wxtwitter community, which accounted for half of my Twitter contacts.

As a sort of final #introduction post and calling card for the weather community, one of my primary uses of Twitter was to share my #WeatherPhotography and #storm reports. I'll probably continue to share weather and #climate content here! CW's as needed. Some of my faves below.

@marathon0 Interesting, some errors in this png:

Hubzilla is also a blog based on wordpress (that are spread on the fediverse)
Networking should have be wrote (micro-)blogging instead
Lemmy is a specific case as an alternative to Reddit.
Dokieli and Olkiare missing here, they are for scholar publication/review.
Beside Matrix ejabberd (jabber/XMPP) has also fediverse bridge
Gancio is a calendar for events

Is there someone that would create a itch.io like Fediverse tool, now there are lot of gamedev ? Itch.io is more and more restrictive on log in and only allow Youtube video.

I don't have time to do it, but here is an appeal for #help from someone I know:

> #Help wanted: Code review for Mindfulness at the computer
Hi all, the design is now finally complete for the application Mindfulness at the computer which i have been working on as a hobby project for a long time. I’d like to do a #codereview and could use help from people experienced with one or both of the following:
- #Python (for #review of #backend or #frontend #code)
- #Qt, or #gui applications in general (for review of frontend code)
Are you willing to help out, or do you know of any programmers who could be interested?

Tried watching #Netflix's new show about the last #BlockBuster, especially because I like a number of the actors in it.

But they might as well just call it "Stereotypes: The Show".

It's *really* bad.

Phh, seeing people barging in from the birdsite and getting all edgy and snarky about the existing culture here is really annoying!

I could just block them all (and I still may); but is there a client that lets me automatically add a "CW: Jerk" to any post of theirs I happen across?

Modeling study using #Covid19 pandemic data from 152 countries

"Although the focus of this work is retrospective, considering the merits and consequences of a more equitable sharing of vaccine between nations, conclusions can be drawn about national and international policies going forward. The message for any emerging outbreak is clear: distributing vaccines across the globe proportional to need, rather than to wealth, will have beneficial effects for all."

"Schools across Uganda will close two weeks before the scheduled end of term after 23 Ebola cases were confirmed among pupils, including eight children who died.

Education Minister Janet Kataha Museveni said on Tuesday that the cabinet had taken the decision to close preschools, primary schools and secondary schools on November 25 because densely packed classrooms were making students highly vulnerable to infection."

I thought I had avoided the dreaded Covid-19 until a month or two back when I developed a hacking cough that lasted for 4 - 5 days and I felt a bit off colour. A Lateral flow test was positive so I kept my head down for a week or so. After 7 days I was testing -ve every day for 3 days so I considered myself safe to venture out (masked of course). I didn't get a proper professional test as to do so would have meant taking a bus into town thus putting a bus full of people at risk!

It was all over comfortably within a week except that I experienced what I believe was the dreaded brain fog quite noticeably. For example: I'd be looking at the computer and thinking "I need to create a Word document". It would then take me anything up to 30 seconds to figure out how to do that. That sort of fogginess!!! (I used to be a computer programmer so creating a Word document is not alien to me at all).

Thankfully, my full faculties seem to have returned to me but it was getting rather scary for a while!

Has anyone experienced similar symptoms?

This is the most uncontroversial chart. You don't have to extrapolate, but be happy for the polar bears.
