Too real.

#MakerMonday let’s start a trend on #Monday of posting things you’ve #made! Can be anything, real or virtual! Here’s a treehouse I made a couple of years ago. #Makers

FOSS software is good 😄

Now I've started Mass Effect again many years later on Steam Deck, all I want to do is play Mass Effect. Help.

Hullo. So this is Mastodon, eh? Well, I'm here. And to celebrate, here's a photo I took yesterday in Kingston NY of Good Omens director Douglas directing An Unnamed Actor (on the other side of the glass) in Episode 2 of Good Omens Season 2 (Coming Next Summer).

@cortexuvula I upload to YouTube, and Odysee syncs my videos from YouTube. The sync takes anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour sometimes. So when I post the YouTube link, there is no Odysee link...yet. Might I suggest you to install the "Watch on Odysee" browser plugin? When enabled, when you click a YT link, it will take you to the Odysee video if the video exists on Odysee. If not, it just takes you to YouTube.

@elevynn Hi Michael, I can vouch for #TheOdinProject as I'm about halfway through it at the moment.

It gives you a really thorough understanding of things like Git, testing, and Object Orientated Programming than a course on a platform like Codecademy wouldn't give you.

I've had a couple of attempts at learning a language before, but TOP has really made it stick. Happy to answer questions about it if you have any.

My first post on Mastodon, so I figure it should be a picture of a cat taken on film

I'm gonna keep posting this until one of you fucking boosts it

# Understanding Functions using the "Function Room" narrative

I use narratives to learn stuff… and to teach, too

What's a narrative? It's a way of connecting events or facts in a form of a story

But I promised to talk about The **Function Room**…

so read on…

My mental image of a computer program is that of a small creature working in a room.

When you start writing a program, the Main Room is empty except for some shelves and a small red booklet called "built-in"

Monty — that's the name of the little creature doing all the hard work — will look around the room whenever you use any name.

I love Mastodon because I'm able to do this:

Centralized social media had trained me to think in a certain way. "If you don't like it, go build your own..." is the popular phrase. The mentality seems to be that one central entity has to control it all, or social media can't exist.

Joyfully, #mastodon has proven that to be false.

I hadn't imagined anything like this could ever work this well. Pretty amazing. Props to the #fosstodon admins, @kev @mike @cooper @Tay0 @ru @grueproof. This is a great place to be!
