I don't identify myself with any "-ism", but the closest thing would be libertarianism.
I work in the field of Life Sciences. My activity usually revolves around genetics and bioinformatics. I also like programming and data science / machine learning.
I started migrating to more ethical digital spaces and services after I had first-hand experience working for one of the most abominable enterprises. There is so much I want to say about it but can't due to legal reasons.

@velartrill hmm? Well have you even looked at the Y axis? it's easy when it goes up from 2 to 30 cases lol.
@itnewsbot China keeps expanding the limits of imagination by banning things I wouldn't even imagine can be bannable such as "irrational celebrity support"
@matrix Tanks in "tanks are cool af" refers to literal tanks or tankies communists?
@phagusX how exactly are they going to know who's vaccinated and who's not?
@ew This is fucking insane. We are always criticizing countries like China for their mind-blowing authoritarianism. How is "the west" better if shit like that can be implemented with little popular outrage?
@freedompatriot Khrushev said that?!
I found an amazing code that restores old photos. It's so good, it's creepy.
It doesn't quite work with the edges (for example it merges my ears with my hair sometimes) and works poorly with faces too far away. But other than that it works amaizingly.
Code is here and also has a Google Colab set up:
China bans video games pretty much. Literally a nanny state .
@doug the timing is as subtle as a hammer
@TwistedEagle@brighteon.social where is that? Doesn't look like Afganistan...
@trinsec yeah corona
@vriska which video?
@freemo yeah. We call them "caviar left"

🔬 **Some notable exceptions to that global trend**:
In the 🇺🇸 #USA, the influence of income has vanished, and support depends solely (and strongly!) on education (highly educated ↔ leftist).
In #Scandinavia (epitome: 🇸🇪 #Sweden) it's the opposite: education became irrelevant, and political preference depends only on income (perhaps because they are wealthy, egalitarian countries?).
🇵🇹 #Portugal hasn't changed like the other countries: there the Right is still supported mostly by educated (and rich) voters. (NB: in the 50's and 60's, Portugal was a dictatorship).
🇮🇹 #Italy is the rare case where leftist parties ended up being the parties of the _richest_ segment of the population. I wouldn't read too much into this, though, as the political landscape there during the last decade or two has been a populist mess.
🇪🇸 #Spain is the country where education and income tell you _the least_ about political preferences! There's still the secular correlation “high income ↔ right wing”, but it's very weak today. (NB: in the 50's and 60's, Spain was also a dictatorship).
