I am a Democrat who supports Ukraine in their battle against The Russian Z fascist invaders.
I am a 72 year old Covid hermit who
lives on 10 acres in a sparsely populated area of the Ozarks. I heat with wood that is leftover by the lumber industry. When cutting oak for lumber only the trunk is used.
The largest town is population 2992. The county is 13k people scattered over 713 square miles.

Toots are #humanities, #science, #nonfiction, #book, #map, #chart and #graph related. Some toots containing #videos may also find their way into the timeline.

Compulsive reply guy. Posts random photos once in a while.
I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).
Working together is the answer - that I'm sure of if you want human* change. It's a cruel and long road but better than tech #rugpulls we see all the time. Time to design something more personal and cared for. Re-design Ourselves.

I add Fediverse #Quotes #Notes #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites for a more Human-caring social, not hating, so it's a better example of ourselves and what we could do and love in things we all share and mostly care for.
Towards Togetherness. Agree?
===================
So let's build whatever we can, the best we can. without rugpullers.
Perhaps building friendship at the end is 'it' and can win it for all of us rather than paranoia and not trying to gel together.
Making our own relationship with life rather than shying away leaving it to people hating Trump / Bezos / Musk and spreading news of their actions that self-perpetuates itself more than work on something else.
This profile and life is the work of the heart and mind. We have enough material and tech mostly. Now to evolve the mind a bit more and catch up with the lessons and psychology.

"FreeSchool" is a movement from 1960s/1970s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_school
Learning via interaction means there is always risk by the way. By not building trust or working on mutually worknig together inaction happens and lack of friendship also allows bad people... so I see us as doing the work more daily or as the good homework we need to do (nobody else can do it properly without us).
MORE DETAIL BELOW IF NEEDED...
BUILD YOURSELF AND ME (DOESN'T HAVE TO BE WHOLE WORLD)...
All aims should be towards working together more personally instead of hating, because most of the hating is free advertising and spreading fear for them ("Bad news is still good advertising)
This means less spreading Trumps, Musk, Bezos names and plans, and more our thing.
Humans change Humans - we the caring people reason better as we have a caring soul and a conscience. We also need to test and repair those that can't. Tech does not care and has it's limits at best which I think we have akready reached and in danger of leaving people behind over-doing I.T.
========================================
Do you have work for me or any ideas / dreams of your own?
========================================
Going towards growing better decision-making humans as a main goal or my interpreration (human-educated examples helping others help others) and not just tech filters of progression / aggression / profit.
Tech has measurably been over-done and had it's limits being backed by BigTech and State-orientatedand heavily regulated infrastructures. This ultimately undoes this and is are not human-caring and just money / profit-orientated the same as the state and companies are.
All $tates use bank$ that cheat everyone else behind their back.
Every $tate let's this happen to keep unfair power over people and keep them down.
I have DIY education more than any Massive Tech-based $haring. We have enough small solutions. We just need to do the human homework together which is what almost nobody is doing and it shows! We canNOT just do tech, we can maintain some tech but then grow the user's interests and direction using caring people and releasing their potential and curating ourselves... Since the mentlaity of people (users) are the weak point of all systems (who are happy to abuse them / add adverts etc) so it means working on ourselves is the best now we have mostly everything else worked on to catch up on the mentality and also realise all the tricks historically.
☼ Free work if you can justify it +
#Friendship (it's for humanity and world too to grow friendship). I edit basic text, audio, video for free to grow the idea of Freedom or not just banks and money made to give us crutches after they break our legs / eat our time and money (energy).

Theoretical physicist by training (PhD in quantum open systems/quantum information), University lecturer for a bit, and currently paying the bills as an engineer working in optical communication (implementation) and quantum communication (concepts), though still pursuing a little science on the side. I'm interested in physics and math, of course, but I enjoy learning about really any area of science, philosophy, and many other academic areas as well. My biggest other interest is hiking and generally being out in nature.
Italian, MSc in chemistry specialized in cheminformatics and QSAR.
I'm interested in cooking and building stuff.
I love traveling, I lived in India, China, Slovenia, Poland and Spain.
Currently working in Spain in the field of genomics; and doing a PhD in Drug Development using Quantum Mechanics and Artificial Intelligence.
Don't take what I say as an insult, I have no bad intentions and I'm open to talk about it.
Don't star my toots, I find that often useless: if you liked it send a reply.
Consider boosting the toots, it's the only real way in which stuff is propagated through mastodon.
Retired software engineer & woodworker.
Anglo-francophone.
Detest tories. Subscribe to green, leftish radical politics but not to any particular political party!.
Love the EU and all it stands for, moreover, I spent the last 10 years of my career working at an EU agency.
Enthusiastic photographer, especially wildlife and most especially butterflies.
Slightly knowledgeable gardener.
Atheist; loathe almost all religions and pity the people deluded enough to follow them. I make exceptions for Buddhism as it isn't really a religion in the strictest sense of the word as it doesn't postulate the existence of any god, and Jainism which is the epitome of peace.
For anyone who is interested, my header photo is of the most stupendous sunset I have ever seen. On the right is the waterfront of Vientiane, the capital of Laos, on the left is Thailand and in the middle, acting as the border between the two countries is the mighty Mekong river.
