Not sure what this account will be about, mostly boosting things I find interesting.
Studying how people interact, in the past (#CulturalAnalytics) and today (#EdTech #Crowdsourcing). Researcher at @IslabUnimi, University of Milan. Bulgarian activist for legal reform with @pravosadiezv. I use dedicated accounts for different languages.
My profile is searchable with https://www.tootfinder.ch/
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A 56 yo survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.

Gosto de programar e gosto mais ainda de judaísmo. Um Indigena no Norte do Brasil.
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).
Let's solder pins!

Writer, former software developer, tech writer, aerospace engineer (Apollo, Viking Mars lander). Atheist and anti-theist; I try not to go on too much about that and frequetnly fail. Mostly fairly leftwing except on certain subjects; ditto about going on too much about it. Come to think of it, that bit about going on too much about stuff applies to all of the above.

Αρθρον 1. - Ο σκοπός οπού απ’ αρχής κόσμου οι άνθρωποι εσυμμαζώχθησαν από τα δάση την πρώτην φοράν, δια να κατοικήσουν όλοι μαζί, κτίζοντες χώρας και πόλεις, είναι δια να συμβοηθώνται και να ζώσιν ευτυχισμένοι, και όχι να συναντιτρώγονται ή να ρουφά το αίμα τους ένας.

"The consistent #anarchist, then, should be a #socialist, but a socialist of a particular sort. He will not only oppose alienated and specialized labor and look forward to the appropriation of capital by the whole body of workers, but he will also insist that this appropriation be direct, not exercised by some elite force acting in the name of the proletariat."

Την εξορίαν δεν την εννοώ, εγώ που δεν περιορίζομαι εις ένα τόπον, και δεν έχω ιδικόν μου ούτε το μέρος που τώρα κατοικώ, και κάθε μέρος είναι ιδικόν μου όπου και αν ευρεθώ ή μάλλον, κάθε μέρος είναι του Θεού, όπου εγώ είμαι ξένος και περαστικός.

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of #patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble #war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

F is for Freedom and #FreeSchool hashtag is what this is about...
All things towards #Freedom (moving from Shorter to Deeper and Caring thoughts)
TOGETHER & MORE OFTEN DIRECTLY (who else is going to do it?).
#FreeSchool profile has #Notes #Quotes (extracts / gems) from great #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites from all around the world towards
#DIY Care (because nobody else is going to as best as you do for those around) - #Caring IS our main #Politics / #Politics and "System" (not a system of cheating each other but caring and what Capitalism is cutting out - this is what we need to put back in and teach to those willing).
#Degrowth / PostGrowth
#WellbeingEconomy #DoughnutEconomics
#CaringEconomy / #CareEconomy / #Partnerism
"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁
See My #FreeSchool (Hashtag) for latest examples anytime. Or keep open and refresh from time to time:

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.

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.

I write software (C++) for a living.
I think the most pressing and fundamental problem of the day is that people lack a practically effective means of sorting out questions of fact in the larger world. We can hardly begin to discuss ways of addressing reality if we can't agree what reality even is, after all.
The institutions that have served this role in the past have dropped the ball, so the next best solution is talking to each other, particularly to those who disagree, to sort out conflicting claims.
Unfortunately, far too many actively oppose this, leaving all opposing claims untested. It's very regressive.
So that's my hobby, striving to understanding the arguments of all sides at least because it's interesting to see how mythologies are formed but also because maybe through that process we can all have our beliefs tested.
But if nothing else, social media platforms like this are chances to vent frustrations that on so many issues both sides are obviously wrong ;)
