I've just locked my Twitter account in an attempt to slowly wind it down.

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.

Hello Mastodon 🐘

Good morning! Time for breakfast.

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

Overachievers. Just look at them.

I refuse to refer to people with the name "Sean" as if it is pronnounced "Shawn".. there is no logical explanation for such a pronunciation... No you are pronounced "seen" and you get no say in it!

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.

I did a search for "Unix history" on kobo.com, and it turned up a book in the *romance* section of all places... called "Saved by Systemd: An Erotic Unix Encounter."

I... uh... what? uhm...

I believe the correct action is to run away screaming. So I was stunned that one of the reviews says "it's amazing... This is a book to read whether you love or hate systemd. I genuinely dislike systemd, but reading this book made me discover uner a new sexy light."
