I saw this and I thought of #QOTO
I love the community we have built here. No one waiting in the bushes to assault you if you say something they dont agree with; just acceptance and inclusion of everyone's ideas, it is wonderful!
if a sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, is a sufficiently mundane technology indistinguishable from its context?
ex: nobody thinks of language as a technology but here we are with a decentralized system of overlapping transient protocols that we use to hack each other’s brains because we literally cannot imagine a society without communication
#introduction I am a mathematician and cognitive scientist by training and troublemaker by inclination. I have been following the mastodon universe from the sidelines for a while now but a recent article made me create an account at one mastodon site which led to the next one and the next one and since then I have been following a trail of interesting sites and people.
As a complete n00b here, I am at your mercy. Tell me what I should know and who I should follow!
Last but not least I would like to highlight one indie game each day. Today's indie game will be Endling, a Spanish videogame about a fox and how we treat the environment.

I’m CTO for Hypergiant where we build machine intelligence solutions for Fortune 500 clients, a musician playing guitar and eurorack, artist, and husband and dad in Dallas, TX. Once upon a time, I was a professional blogger and a professor. #introductions

Hey all! I'm an Australian PhD student working in supramolecular chemistry (mainly photoswitch related, with lots of supporting NMR studies). Alongside the chemistry I play music, dance, and have interests in politics/international relations/global security (any open-source analysts hanging around here?).
I've tried mastodon on and off a few times before this account, but never really managed to find a critical mass of enough others with shared interests to keep me here. With all the interest M's been picking up recently, it seemed like it might be worth trying again!
Whoever will read this, I love you.
Seems like a empty phrase? It isn't. Never will. You are faulty and imperfect but I love you.
Whoever your life will touch today, make it a tiny bit better and try to smile and be nice. Some of us will have a terrible day and a smile or a phrase can change a life.
And if you really need help, don't be afraid to ask.
Hey! I'm an Australian researcher with a PhD in Japanese Studies, specialising in the history of and contemporary developments within the popular culture industries of Japan. My thesis specifically looked at the evolution of the "magical girl" genre and the cross-media franchising of one example of the genre, 'Madoka Magica'.
My forthcoming publications include an analysis of the image of Joan of Arc in manga, and a critical examination of the 'Sanrio Danshi' media franchise.
