#introduction

My name is Evan Prodromou. I'm an Open Source software enthusiast, best known for my work in wikis and in social software.

I work as Director of Open Technology at the Open Earth Foundation.

I live in Montreal, love to garden with native plants, make wine, cook, and live an examined life.

So, i'm gonna give #qt and real good try over #gtk. The only exception is i'm still gonna use #webkit2gtk browsers. This is mostly due to #lxqt being mature enough now lol

We did it!!! Our little all-assembly risc-v os can run Doom!

I guess I could do an #introduction

I'm a programmer who works on all sorts of different things. I work a lot in #rust (#rustlang) and #csharp. I make websites, plugins for FFXIV, backend server binaries and whatnot.

I'm very gay and post about that a lot. I like reading scifi and fantasy, watching TV shows in those same genres, and binging very specific YouTube channels (nothing popular).

Oh, I'm very liberal if that wasn't obvious. I don't interact with people who don't think I deserve rights or who are total assholes (usually go hand-in-hand). If you think equity and equal rights are a bad thing, you're garbage.

I'm friendly, and if I get safe vibes from you, I'll follow! Say hi c:

@brianchau Definitely the Rust Book (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/) and Rustlings (https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings). The borrow checker has gotten a lot easier to work with over the years, due to lots of great work by various people. The hardest part for most people, I think, is wrapping their heads around lifetimes/ownership, usually a completely new concept of memory management to most people.

Hey - I'm a software engineer that refactors data processing pipelines by day (C++). I'm super interested in #cognition with an eye toward #ComputationalRepresentation.

@derickflorian There's a great list of resources at <https://github.com/rust-embedded/awesome-embedded-rust/blob/master/README.md>, and the title sums it up: #RustLang on #embedded is awesome.
Note that some things there look like OSes, which you appear to want to go lower than: worry not, zero cost abstractions allow quite high-level concepts that are still monomorphized to effectively bare-metal code.

Getting back to #TuxGuitar after a few years, still a great #OpenSource software for guitar practice, and even available as a phone app now !

@derickflorian Hey there, pleased to meet you. It's hard to choose, sometimes, but C is probably my most common answer when asked what my favourite language is, and I bet you'll like it a lot. And it's cool finding more #mud enthusiasts. I remember an early inspiration back before I'd ever played a MUD myself, and I'm happy to share. This showed up in Dragon Magazine in the 80s, and it remains one of my favourite stories to this day:

So my social media has suddenly gained followers.

That being said.

Hi, I'm Jess! I've had almost every color of hair, love open source and I build infrastructure.

If you're here because you saw my article cool! I have more coming out over the next several months, some about this and a lot about coding in esoteric languages.

Have my internet hug, and all the knowledge I can give you for free!

Interviewer: Please write a FizzBuzz application.

Me: Ok... *installs Github Copilot*

Interviewer: What are you doing?

Interviewer: Stop.

Me: // Function for Fizz Buzz

#introduction

Hi! I'm Raph. I've been in free software and open source circles for a long time. I'm passionate about fonts, 2D graphics, and Rust. At the moment, I'm trying to grow a serious open source community around xilem, a reboot of the Druid UI stack. It feels like a major adventure.

I also have a longtime interest in community, having done Advogato a while ago, and am now very active in Berkeley Friends Meeting.

Good to see so many of my friends here!

That feeling when you unlock your #linux #i3wm work computer after walking into the office after lunch with a nice, hot cuppa in your hands, and being able to effortlessly flit between windows and do all kinds of activities without even touching the mouse or hardly even thinking...

"Gooood. Goooood! Let the Unix Otaku FLOW through you!"

Well, since none of my followers could be bothered to do the work for me, I did it myself. ;)

Request for @Codeberg to take a similar stand against the crypto scammers: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/794

I’d appreciate any support.
