Hey Instance!
I am a AI/robotics struggling with my master's thesis on noise estimation in high-precision pose estimation. At the same time I am lecturing AI/robotics/embedded systems courses to undergrads.
I'm enthusiastic about table top games (current fav 2p: Legend of the Five Rings; fav co-ops: T.I.M.E and Arkham Horror LCG), and most importantly, cat dad to Niks.
@commandelicious The floof is real!
@pkok That's the nicer one of my two. The smaller one just runs around hissing at me. :D
@commandelicious Rawr! He looks pretty young still! Maybe he'll grow into it!

@pkok He is 13, he never grew bigger.
Shite childhood.
So the sad story is this: He got 'stolen' by a friend of mine out of a little rabbit box from a neighbour of said friend. About 40°C / 110°F in that box. He was used to pee on plastic sheets and still does so if he finds any. Never got him entirly to use the litter box.
He is a bit broken, but he loves me unconditionally.

@commandelicious Hoooly f... No wonder he's more metal. Give him some kind words from a distance from me!
Great what you're doing with/for him though!

@pkok Tip: If you answer you can just click the CW button away.

I mean, he can be pretty annoying when he hisses for hours but we are all damaged, animals just don't try to hide it.
@pkok It's so easy to just find common ground on mastodon isn't it?
@commandelicious Yeah, actually surprised how well its structure works!
@pkok I 'blame' decentralized modding.
There will be trolls and jerks but, well, ignore them. Works so far.
@commandelicious There's no way to avoid that, except for crazy levels of surveillance. 🤷
@commandelicious Thanks for the interface tip!
My parents had a dog that had a rough puppy period. She's always been a bit "difficult" but that gave her her own personality. <3
