#introductions

8 posts8 participants0 posts today

Hello everybody!

I guess it is time for an #introductions

I am June, from Vancouver, Canada. My gender is 422. 🤷‍♀️

Gosh, I'm supposed to describe who I am and my life? No idea where to start.
I am an extrovert, survivor, and kind of 3 cats in a trench coat, pretty sure one of them is a racoon in disguise.

For what I do: I develop my own video games (Unreal), make art in various mediums (traditional, digital, photography, 3D, interactive,...) and DJ for my friends. I love hikes, road-trips, raves, novelty and being like, super weird. I also freedive a lot and read mental health scholarly articles for fun.

I do not especially identify as transgender, but gender transition is what I am engaged in.

I am part of a polyamory / relationship anarchist family with my partner, where I am helping raise a lovely (and quite hilarious) child.

I am currently in collaboration to attempt at creating a prosocial co-op studio with a friend, hoping to bring mental health-focused cosy games on the market. Because, you know, late-stage economic and environment collapses are kind of turning everybody a bit mad.

I am a big proponent of finding joy, grace, support and hope when facing struggle. One faces pain easier when equipped with joy, and one accesses joy easier when facing pain.

As diagnosed AuDHD +& in resolution stage, I write about philosophy, social justice, transformation, decolonization and mental health. I also do pro-bono trauma coaching and crisis support for gender and neurodiverse communities and consulting services for therapists looking to better support clients on the neurodiverse & dissociative spectrums. (I would argue that going into the mental health field after 15 years in games is kind of the pipeline 😅 ).

Regarding who I am? If you're a bit into tarot, I'll say that I could identify as the explosive mix of The Fool, The Magician & The Empress. Something like that: I enjoy traveling between worlds and seeking natural truth.

Nice to meet y'all!

Hi, I'm flo. I like Unix, Open Source, and way too many other things.

I'm a FreeBSD user at home, and work with Zephyr RTOS at my dayjob. Other than that I dabble in self-hosting and occasional hardware adventures.

I haven't done a reintroduction since I joined Fedi, and I wouldn't mind meeting and following more people. Boosts welcome.

Hello, I go by Null! I am a programmer, avid reader, long-time Tabletop RPG (TTRPG) GM, anticapitalist, weird horror fan, aspiring (if shy) writer, and a long suffering fan of anime. I identify as agender even though I don't talk about it much. I also enjoy cooking, brewing, mushrooms, gardening, ravens, typewriters, and well... a little of everything. I just like to answer questions.

I generally post random observations, tabletop RPG experiences, political thoughts (CWed), news commentary, short anime reviews, and the like. Please feel free to drop in for a message or reply - I'm open to conversation. Also, do feel free to let me know if I commit any faux pas. I'm pretty open to good-faith commentary and it's important to me that people feel safe.

Things I am reading right now (I can't focus on one book for long so I rotate):

* Field Notes from a Fungi Forager by Ashley Rodriguez
* The Tramp Printers by Charles Overbeck
* Liquidated by Karen Ho.
* We'll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida

So... Let's be friends?

I am not totally sure if I have done a proper intro but here it goes.

My name is Stuart but you all know me by Stu.

I am a huge technology and music fan first and foremost, I also love open source decentralized platforms like Mastodon.

I love watching TV series and movies. I am a huge 007 fan. I love the Pearce Bronson era and I also love Daniel Craig Era.

I also loved all three movies from #SteigLarrson #thegirlwiththedragontatoo

(New intro!) Hi everyone! :> I'm Hexaitos (or mostly just Hex), an (actual!) bateleur eagle from Germany ^v^

I'm interested in computers and I like tinkering with both software and hardware. I mainly use Linux or other *nix systems. I self-host a whole bunch of stuff as well. I also really like birds (obviously!), taking walks, learning languages and taking photos (mostly of, you guessed it, birds!). I also do a bit of gaming from time to time.

My actual job is working as a network and systems administrator for a small ISP which includes a lot screaming at computers when they inevitably don't do what I want them to.

I mostly post about random stuff I am working on (computer- or software-related things most of the time!), random photos (I take a lot of photos…) or other random ramblings! ^v^

I'm a bit shy but always open for a chat! Check out my website (hexaitos.com) if you want to send me a message!

Hi everyone 👋

It's time to do #Introductions. We are an organization composed of students & working professionals who propagate the principles of #FOSS, #DigitalPrivacy & #DigitalCommons among students in the union territory of #Puducherry, India.

We have been functioning as a #GNU/#Linux users group (#PuduvaiGLUG) since 2011 with guidance from @fsftn and then matured into a registered society of our own.

Here is what we do,

👉 We approach educational institutions in and around Puducherry and help them set up & nurture a #GLUG in their institutions. The GLUGs within each institution are responsible for propagating our stated principles and help them step into the FOSS ecosystem.

👉 We also organize an annual FOSS conference in Puducherry & discuss the state of digital commons here and ways to improve them.

👉 We strongly believe that public institutions should adopt #FOSS & #OpenStandards in the public interest. We also contribute data to #OpenStreetMap, #Wikipedia & #BeaconDB projects.

👉 We track the state of public infrastructure in #Puducherry by mapping them in #OSM. For example, by mapping street lights, bus stops, public toilets, drinking water, etc.

👉 We demand the UT & Union govt. to safeguard citizen's fundamental right to privacy and bring data breaches to their notice. We campaign for an inclusive digital society.

👉 Some of our members also build and release their own FOSS projects. We also organize #Mapathon & #Hackathon to contribute to digital commons.

👉 We strive to bridge the #DigitalDivide through FOSS & Commons. We demand the state to strengthen the public telecom & Internet provider #BSNL and it's infrastructure.

Together, we build a movement to actively shape our day to day digital experience & strive to improve the quality of life for everyone 🫰

"Enabling consensual technology for the masses", that's our motto.

Refreshing my #introductions!

I'm Josh/privacydingus from Brighton & Hove, a privacy-tech worker and (when the opportunity arises) activist.

I'm into a lotta stuff but my true loves in life are my cat (willow), pals, family, horror, SciFi, cooking, fitness, and tinkering with tech.

You can have a look at my current reads and listens on my personal site: technosophy.space/ which I'm slowly building out when I have the time.
