Hi folks who #studied a #Computer #Science #Degree, can you please tell me what #programming #language you learnt in the first year?

I don't see any mention of hashtags in this conversation. I'm fairly new here, and I found that hashtags are the key to finding people with similar interests or from specific communities. Newcomers may not realize that following hashtags makes all the difference. Every day I find interesting people to follow, or follow people who found me. That's in addition to those I followed on Twitter and who now have accounts here.

What's the story of you coming to Fediverse? How did everyone ended here?

@mur2501 Well, I woke up one day and suddenly I was here!

I'm kidding off course. A couple of years ago I was searching for and trying out several kinds of Social Media, especialy the kind where my privacy wouldn't be raped like on Failbook. I tried Diaspora and other stuff, but Mastodon and MeWe suited me best. I added Matrix/Element later.

Some 4 years ago I literally searched for a twitter alternative with a higher character count limit. 😋

Ended up on mastodon.social with 500 characters. I liked it.

Then I saw mastodon.host with 2000 characters. I liked it more and moved to there. Then I managed to convince its admin to bump it up to 4000 characters. Woo, like like like!

Then mastodon.host crashed hardcore and was not recoverable and I moved on to Qoto with 65k characters. Woo, likey!

Not that I ever need to type in that many characters, but to make a toot without worrying any bit about character count is very relaxing!

This is an antique Weston voltmeter that I accidentally* bought at auction from a telephone museum that was closing down a few years ago. (I also got some cool historical transatlantic cable segments!)

It draws a surprising amount of current for a voltmeter, so the circuit that's controlling uses far more power than I was anticipating.

*ok, it wasn't _really_ an accident! I certainly wasn't complaining...

Interviews with more than a dozen soldiers, soldiers’ partners, psychologists, sex shop owners and others in Ukraine show that reality is far darker than the wartime romances produced by Hollywood. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/01/04/ukraine-war-dating-love-sex/

I don't know if I've shared this before or not, but damn this is a gem!

Sign up for India server : https://mastodon.co.in

If plenty of people are interested, we will launch a server instance.

PS: Do you know that you can move from one server to another without loosing your followers and data except your past toots?

Apparently I know nothing about music culture things. LOL.

There is a point that I thought I know about music, when I click into this video, like, yeah, I listen to music everyday, how hard can it be? But then I suddently realized that the music I listent is only a tiny selection and kind of homogeneous.

Just like coding. Several years ago I thought I know programming. But then I realized the only major language I use is Java and there are a lot of other different programming langs and even methodologies (like FP, I think it's a totally different way of programming).

It's hard to keep remember that you don't know everything. Until now, I still yelling to my computer and asking why my code just don't work. So, I know I'm not good at programming. But music? I won't yelling to my speakers when I'm listening to music. So I always keep forgetting it. LOL

But, hey, this is a fun video to watch.
