I saw a friend I have not seen in 5 years. It was great to reconnect with them and a reminder of how few truly great relationships you have in life. :)

#OpenCircuits just landed!
Very interesting read so far. I've got close to 40 years to catch up on electronics! Thank you @oskay for this book.

Looks like there are some pretty big new features in the first Mastodon 4.0 release candidate: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.0.0rc1
A few that caught my eye (there's loads more):
- ability to follow hashtags
- ability to translate posts
- support for uploading WebP/AVIF/HEIC
- change post editing to be enabled in web UI
- no more /web prefix on web app paths
@abde i will have to try to listen on desktop. This track and the last i had problems with on Firefox on iOS.

Hi! Let me give an #introduction.
I'm a #software-devleoper working primarily with #clojure. My beautiful wife is an author (cindybaldwinbooks.com) and we have a nine year old girl.
I'm a #futurist and a #maker and always have something in progress. My current #wip is a rotating Christmas tree stand (the image is a 3D printed gear for it). I also play around with #raspberry-pi #pico #arduino #3d-printing.
I enjoy the outdoors go #backpacking. This week I'm going to hike the #narrows in Southern Utah.
I enjoy #linguistics and can speak #german pretty well, and a little bit of a lot of other languages.
I enjoy #philosophy, #photography, #building things, #investing and a lot of other things. I'm a #polypotentialite.

There is no reason to not use #ContentWarnings, or to not mark #media as #sensitive, wherever appropriate.
People who feel annoyed by having to click on #warnings before they can see the #content can have everything immediately displayed by changing their settings under Preferences > Appearance > Sensitive Content.

@vielbein Maybe this will do the trick? It looks fun. If you try it let me know what you think!
@swilua came here to pay my respects 🙏
@vielbein if you see their posts you can click on their username and then click on the follow button in their profile.
I once had a situation where I couldn’t find someone through the the search despite knowing their account. In that case you can paste their full account url(https://example.org/@username) and then it will take you to the profile and keep you signed in on your instance so you can hit follow.
There are many ways probably but that’s just how I do it.

#Introduction Hi y'all! I'm not a newbie to tech in general, but I often feel like a newbie due to the breadth and depth of technology, especially software (and infrastructure)!
I sort of fell into IT through a random job that promoted me based on a "logic" test. :D
I have experience in #C, #COBOL, some #ruby, a tiny old crumb of #java, but most recently #go / #golang. *NIX wins, imho. PC for home, Mac for work. Spent some time in the #cloud. The team I'm on for work is in a decent-sized retailer, and our focus is Observability. #influx #elasticsearch #grafana #timeseries and some cool home-grown products. We support internal customers (other teams and platforms), and I love answering questions!
I'm married to my lovely wife, and our babies all have fur. I live in a brick house built in 1888. I love old houses, even though there's not a right angle or standard size left!
If it's horror, I love it - movies, books, objects. I'm a little #goth at heart (though I'm an Old Bat now).
GU #hoya (BSLA Russian Language). Breast cancer survivor. Sardonic and frequently inappropriate sense of humor. 😈
@RL_Dane Enjoying your posts! Glad I found you on the Fediverse!
Of course I messed up part of the formula lol. See this is why I can't wait to get past math.
I'm just not careful enough!
Gosh #LaTeX is beautiful. This is probably the only reason I will miss taking the math requirements for my degree. :)
@trinsec I have changed the browser on all the machines I use to Vivaldi.
I love the stacked and also tiled tabs, how it remembers your session for next time, and the built in email.
Many thanks for the recommendation!
