Gonna keep doing a few #introduction posts cuz it feels kinda nice to have a bit of a fresh start. A lot of you just follow me for my spicy tech policy takes, but for most of my life I was actually better known as a musician. Here's one of the music videos i'm most proud of, for my song #SurveillanceCapitalism off my album #SpotifyIsSurveillance. You can find it on #bandcamp or wherever else! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvBHFLFllJ8
Caught up with #ThePeripheral so started #TheDevilsHour, I'm only one episode in and I've only seen Capaldi in his rendition of #DoctorWho but I'm already invested.
Incredibly ominous.
Did you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.
Obligatory #introduction! My background is in architectural engineering and environmental design - I am currently a research associate at Newcastle University where I study how a person's immediate environment can affect their health outcomes. I am obsessed with street networks. In my free time you can find me at the allotment, or collecting interesting rocks on the beach.
Looking for some advice - what is the 'best' #programming language (in your opinion) to learn if you want to career change?
I started learning #python a while back and I'd say I have the fundamentals down but there's a lot of room for improvement.
I'm not sure whether to pick #python back up and go all in, or whether to try something like #TheOdinProject and work towards front-end/web-design.
I don't work in tech, though I've always found it intriguing and I'm not sure where to commit my time. Any advice appreciated.

Hey infosec folks, what are your favorite fiction #books in this space (preferably non metaverse)? I don't think I've read anything really good since Girl w Dragon Tattoo
Productive night updating the #arch #linux rig, now updating the GE-Proton version to try #overwatch2 on #steam instead of #lutris
Watching #taskmaster with the other half is a satisfying way to spend an evening :)
One key difference I've learned between #Mastodon and the other place is that #favourites 🌟 do not help others to see a post, but rather just let the author know you liked the content. #Boost 🔄 shares the post with your followers. Boost liberally is the mantra I've been seeing as there is no underlying algorithm automatically pushing popular material to the top of the pile.
#cycling home from work in the pitch black at 5pm. If I get knocked over with 5 separate lights and an entire outfit of high viz clothing, i'll be really miffed.
