I am a strong proponent of leaving this planet better behind than when I arrived on it. Thus to get the most bang for a lifetime my key focus is #longevity which I attempt to achieve with #nutrition specifically #plantbased.
Longevity is good and all as long as you are not frail and weak. Ideally would be to die young at an old age. Thus I incorporate tactics from #biohacking and #primalfitness. Additionally I am an advocate of #wildcrafting, which is a super set of #herbalism.
Studied many fields of science like maths or statistics, though the constant was always computer science.
Currently working as a fullstack web developer, though prefer to call myself a #SoftwareCrafter.
The goal of my side projects is to practice #GreenDevelopement meaning to create mainly static websites. The way the internet was intended to be.
On the artistic side, to dub all content under the Creative Commons license. Thereby, ideally, only using tools and resources that are #FLOSS #OpenSource. #nobot

With the ever growing number of users and in the spirit of open source (FLOSS), one should contribute where one can. Thus I am allowing myself to be a moderator candidate after learning what the tasks are from @freemo.
For those who aren't familiar with me, I have been on this instance before the whole twitter migrations (this current one and the one back in April 2022) to be more precise since March 2021.
Currently I have been trying to help new comers familiarize themselves specifically with Mastodon (both mobile and desktop) and further the fediverse.

Am I the only person who thought this was a caterpillar at 1st glance?

I used to not like facial hair, but it's growing on me.

#StatisticsChallenge (05/50)
Just went through the second week's lecture in WTI, which dealt with random variables and its relationship to measure theory.
Now I understand the syntax behind /(/mathcal{P}(X/leq x)/).
Summary:
Lecture: 3
After watching a documentary on #bigoil I was wondering "what the problem is with bio fuels?" It seems like the biggest issue is that one is stealing landmass for agriculture. Although it hypothetical sounds like a good option, it really isn't.
Now there is another promising concept aka "green crude oil", which is the idea to use #algae over landmass crops. The benefit there over is that its more energy efficient, less area/volume is needed, and it's independent of the water source (waste water, salt water, fresh water).
The only issue like with any new technology is that there is currently no profit to be made.
Here are some videos to peak interest:

Why is it called “going out for another bike ride” and not “recycling”?

How we spread #Disinformation — When a piece of information confirms our beliefs, we don't really look to know whether it's truthful or not and are then more likely to share it, thus spreading potentially fake news.

Decided to skip class today. Nonetheless wrote up some lecture notes.
Summary:
Notes: 1

Good evening, Twitter was a 16 year sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.
#StatisticsChallenge (01/50)
Feels great that slowly my mathematical knowledge is seeking back in, after not using it rigorously for the past 2a+.
Summary:
Class: 2
Participation: 3
This semester I get to tackle #statistics again and to keep my progress up I have decided to start a 50 day #StatisticsChallenge.
This idea came upon after successfully completing a 50 day #MappingChallenge, which got extended to 100 days. Currently a week out of completing 100 days and it feels like second nature doing #OpenStreetMap daily.
The difficulty would be that the one is a science and the other just an activity. So will need to figure out throughout the challenge on how to measure daily accomplishments. At least for #OSM there is a daily visual push tracker. So it's quite clear if a day is missing. Might need to implement git repos to get the same effect.
Just got an automatic response on #WhatsApp that pointed me to move the discussion further towards #Signal. That's when I learnt of the app #watomatic, which is doing this.
The spooky part is that it happened shortly after changing the status to point towards Signal as well.

Watching the crazy right wing extremists trying to tell me that Mastodon has been built to “save the blue checkmarks from Elon’s Twitter so they can keep hating free speech in their own bubble” is hilarious.
Ever heard of the

This paper is so awesome it is prompting me to write my first toot.
The science, the writing, the conclusion about scientific writing. I laughed out loud multiple times reading it. Hats off!
Question considering the human ear:
It has been suggested that using speakers are less damaging than headphones on the longevity of hearing. Though can a similar statement be made to sounds that we cannot hear anymore?
Do our ears still work even if we cannot hear the sound? And if they do still work, how much damage is put onto our hearing in the long run?

Wird Zeit für eine #Umfrage 😁 Das Ergebnis wird mich brennend interessieren.
Also, stellt euch vor, ihr wäret dazu aufgerufen, euch jetzt direkt zwischen den Welten von #Marvel und #DC zu entscheiden. Egal ob durch #Film, #Serie, #Comic oder #Game.
Wie würdet ihr euch entscheiden? (Zusatz. Warum würdet ihr euch so entscheiden?)
Gerne boosten für mehr Reichweite und eine bessere Aussagekraft 🙏 3 Tage Zeit! :) Danke sehr!
