US Politics
I just voted! I was able to take a nice long walk in the gray weather, stroll to a local spot to buy some cookies, and trundled home.
But so many people don't have that choice (which I only have because I'm currently unemployed).
A day of voting should be a national holiday at the very least - a fully paid holiday to be even more effective. #politics #voting

I’m seeing long-time Mastodon folks asking people to please PLEASE use CW on posts about political topics and then I’m seeing almost no one actually do that. It’s so important to keep up with the culture of this space that was established long before many of us got here. Just use the CW!!

Hello/Hola, I'm a historian of technology in the MIT Program for Science, Technology, and Society. I am interested in the relationship of science, technology, and design to processes of political change, especially in Chilean history. I teach classes in areas such as data and society, the history and social studies of computing, and science, technology, and human rights. #histodons #sts #histsci #histtech #histSTM #LatinAmerica #humanrights #data
@greg Wow! Didn't realize you were here. Cool domain name. (Karl)
@vadian ah, I saw that photo. The "sensors while you're away" problem reminds me of this cool tool:
About $100 and it can send telemetry to the cloud via cell network with no monthly fee. Dev kit comes with battery backup and temperature/humidity sensor. I needed to integrate it with a current sensor and it was awesomely simple. https://blog.notmet.net/2022/02/power-sensor/
@vadian lol, it sounds really cool to have boat stuff to work on. The whole AIS thing is interesting to me, but not something I get to mess with regularly.
@snickerbockers @DMEdwards I think @keyoxide meets some of these needs now, verifying that profiles across different sites represent the same entity, but doesn't attempt to provide messaging or other features

Introduction round two in an attempt to ID if its a specific hashtag or my presence on the platform I won't name that triggered the deluge of abuse.
Hi, I'm Dani, amd early career quantitative ecologist who works on African wild dogs, global change ecology and conservation. Do a lot of #rstats #gis #modelling in my #climatechange and #ecology research.
I'm also a science communicator and author of #DoesItFart :D #scicomm
@vadian welcome! (The rust hashtag brought me here, so that worked.)

@pkrugman welcome man. Sorry it seems flaky on your instance.
@trinsec @cstanhope thank you! And to recap the convo on matrix - I had to look under the hamburger menu on settings - preferences, then found exactly that.
@cstanhope I see that, and can turn on the advanced interface to do that, and that is how I would probably prefer to use the interface on desktop, but it doesn't work well for me on mobile, and it doesn't add it to that list of hashtags I see in my preferences... Not sure where that came from.
Thank you though.
How in the heck do I follow a hashtag? I have two that show up in my preferences, and that seem to occasionally surface posts in my feed, but I can't remember how I put them there.
@bwbeach I did just that (use it to learn Haskell) a couple years ago and it was extremely painful, but very educational. Unfortunately recently I've let life get in the way too much for adventofcode - I always try to catch up late at night during family vacation, but never quite make it 🤪

Last year, I did [#AdventOfCode](https://adventofcode.com) as an exercise to learn #rust. It's a sequence of daily programming puzzles in December. I'm thinking of doing it again this year and learning #haskell.
I don't try for speed, and I don't try to be the first to solve a problem. I take my time and solve each day's problem a day or two later. It would be nice to have people to chat with about solutions if anybody else is interested.
