An #introductions post for Thor:
Like his brother Doots, Thor had feline herpes as a baby & as a result has a wonky left eye.
We think his daddy must be a Ragdoll, since he and Doots’ mom is a grey tabby. His fur is soft like cotton candy spun from silk. He has no undercoat.
Thor hates being alone. He demands pets (w/BOTH hands) and brushing multiple times a day. He does “stretchy snuggles” with me every morning, rubbing up against me while I do yoga.

Hello. My name is Daniel. I am originally from South Africa. My parents are immigrants from Portugal and Germany. They divorced when I was young. I was baptised at around age 8 and have been a follower of our wonderful Lord, God and Messiah Jesus Christ ever since.

I now live in Cyprus, Europe, with my wife and we work in the tourism industry.

It's a blessing to be so close to Israel, on the same time zone, experience the same weather, see the same moon phases etc. You definitely feel you're in the East over here.

By profession I am an IT Support Technician/Admin. I believe in FOSS and use Linux as my main pc operating system.

Glad to be on a christian social platform and look forward to getting to know everyone

Hi Mastodon!

I'm a computer scientist working on the #MiniZinc modelling language. The perfect way to model your #optimization / #orms problems. (At least if you you were to ask me).

As an #OPTIMA research fellow at #Monash University, I generally love research into programming languages & combinatorial optimisation methods.

When I don't have anything to say about work, you may find me posting about my hobbies, such as music, birds, cycling, and cricket, instead.

We are finally on Mastodon, time for a little #introduction 👋 !

Brian is a #FOSS simulator for biological #SpikingNeuralNetworks, for research in #ComputationalNeuroscience and beyond. It makes it easy to go from a high-level model description in Python, based on mathematical equations and physical units, to a simulation running efficiently on the CPU or GPU.

We have a friendly community and extensive documentation, links to everything on our homepage: https://briansimulator.org

This account will mostly announce news (releases, other notable events), but we're also looking forward to discussing with y'all 💬

hewwo my name is mint! I’m a black UI/UX designer that likes to make stuff. i have an OC also named mint, I made them a long time ago and I'm love them.

i play and talk about videogames and music a lot, a lot of it on my blog

Hi all! Venturing in Mastodon after ditching the crapshows that are 2023 Twitter and Reddit.

I run a blog about dragons in video games called Wyverns and Waypoints. It's not the most active, but I've been a bit lost on what to do with it after leaving most social media. My most recent post features a 90’s inspired 3D platformer by a solo indie dev.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to figuring out this platform and hope to have some good game conversations!

Since I switched instances, it's the perfect time for a proper #introduction!

Hii :3 I'm David (better known as Daudix, ugh)

I like open source, design, photography and retro-futurism, and a lot of other silly stuff (not exactly in that order)

My favorite games are the "Portal" series, "Untitled Goose" and "The Stanley Parable"

What else? well, not much, I'm just a curious (and lazy) 16-yo boy

Shout out to @jeridansky for the idea of doing #introductions posts for cats!

Happy #Caturday! Here’s an #introductions post for Doots!
His official name is Odin. His litter mate is Thor.
Doots is a Lynx Point Siamese. His mom is a grey tabby, so his dad must’ve been a Siamese. He had feline herpes when they were found as babies, which caused him to lose an eye. 😭
Doots is sweet but spicy & opinionated. He gives head bumps and soft little trills to show affection.
He loves dubstep, yelling, & making biscuits.

Hello, everyone! I'm a Brazilian Computer Engineering student, just a 19-year-old AroAce :blobcatarom: :blobcatace:, fueled by caffeine :blobcatcoffee: and absolutely in love with the C programming language (nope, I won't switch to Rust, :blobCat_uwu:).

I'm super friendly, anti-conflict, and radiate positivity! Oh, and did I mention? I'm proudly a cat furry who adores using all sorts of adorable blobcat emojis, they're just purrfection! :blobcatmelt: meawrrr~

You'll catch me sharing: Silly things, Funny things, my daily student struggles, occasional rants, furry content, and sometimes snippets about my mental health (with CW and followers only), and sometimes kinky, sugestive or triggering stuff, but don't worry, i make sure it's CW'd :blobcatwink:.

Now, a little note about me: I have Inattentive ADHD, meaning I might struggle with focus and text comprehension, especially when tired. So, please be patient with me! :blobCat_pleading: Meew, it can get tricky sometimes!

Boosting whatever brings a smile and geeking out over interesting, nerdy, and hilarious stuff is my jam! My DM's are always open for a chat. If you don't like Mastodon DM's, you can come talk to me over other social media on my linkstack (on BIO), don't be shy!

Funny tidbits about yours truly: Caffeine addict certified, fedi user since 2021, proudly silly verified (check out the badge in my display name) :blobcatgoogly:. I absolutely adore cuddles (though they're rare for me :blobcatsad:), and yes, you can pet me, I promise not to bite... much! :blobcatgiggle2: Making new friends fills my heart with warmth :blobcat_hearthug: and brings out all sorts of happy meows and purrs.

V1.1
Introduction

I have updated my profile for (I think) the first time after signing up here, changing 'bisexual' :flag_bisexual: to a more general 'queer' 🏳️‍🌈

While I am still #bisexual, I feel that the term does not describe the core of what is important to me right now. Also, it is a relatively static fact that I cannot easily express in everyday interactions.

Finding the gender category (if any) that fits me well and defining the gender role that I am trying to express feels much more urgent and relevant to me. This is an area on which I can work almost every day and in almost every situation.

It was never particularly important to me to be a man. And I have recently noticed that I cannot think of even one stereotype related to my assigned gender (male) that happens to match my personality or my interests. So what makes me a man then?

I am not sure yet if I would prefer to identify as non-binary, but I am leaning in that direction. Stay tuned for more updates.

Hello #mathematics #mathart #introductions

Labels over-simplify and distort. That said:

By current profession I'm a freelance mathematician who creates (non-generatively) and sells (without surveillance capitalism to the extent possible) mathematical images and objects. Other labels include author and blogger, mathematical illustrator, digitizer for Project Gutenberg, hobbyist coder, former math professor, and deeply concerned human citizen.

Regarding mathematical art, my primary inspiration is form (shape), accessible without technical training but an open invitation to deeper encounter with mathematics.

My aspirations include sharing and promoting the beauty of shape and structure for pure contemplative enjoyment, and helping to cultivate public understanding of math as a participatory, inclusive, wonder-filled activity.

#queer #intro #introductions
I'm also looking for some cool people I can follow :)

and, if there's anything I should add to my profile to improve it, please let me know

Hi, I'm some nerd who likes to do code.

Hello world 👋
I'm Jon, an 18-year-old #programming enthusiast from #switzerland. I caught the coding bug at age 12 😉, and I've been fascinated with computer science ever since. #webdevelopment has become my passion.

Currently, I enjoy using #svelte, but I am also learning #reactjs and #nextjs 👨‍💻.

I'm also in the process of switching from Windows to #linux #debian 💻.

I'd love to connect!
Happy coding!

Hi tldr.nettime!

I just moved here since I expect to find more like-minded individuals here. I'm an artist and currently immersed in #artisticResearch at the #architecture faculty of Leibniz University Hannover, exploring #data as an artistic material, #SoundArt, the materiality of the virtual, and digital social #infrastructure. Therefore, I'm seeking to connect with people who share similar interests. I have a background in #ComputerScience, trying to mentally recover from that.

Also currently interested in #AI #LLMs #criticalAI #VilémFlusser #MarshallMcLuhan #radio #ghosts #magic #blender #shitposting #sculpture #bricolage #drawing #klangkunst #zettelkasten #socialmedia

Moved yet again, this time to a self-hosted firefish instance :3

I'm an AuDHD transbian girl being gay and silly on fedi. ​:spinny_cat_trans:​​:spinny_cat_lesbian:​ I only recently started transitioning and I'm trying to be more open about my emotions. ​:neocat_floof_cute:​

Expect lots of shitposts/random nonsense, selfies, gay yearning and emotion dumping (both positive and negative, but under a CW). ^^

I like video games, mostly indie and Nintendo ones (e.g. osu!, Touhou, TLoZ, Metroid, Celeste, Crypt of the NecroDancer etc), and I also stream them. ^^

I also listen to a lot of video game music and their covers, and I can talk about languages, though I almost never post about either for some reason.

Disclaimer: the above info is correct at the time of writing, but it will become outdated over time, as my hyperfixations shift around every few months. My overall set of interests is fairly static tho, so if I will be circling back to the previous ones eventually. ​:neocat_floof_happy:​

I'm also a GNOME developer (mostly maintaining libadwaita and a few third party apps), and I will occasionally post updates about that, but this is my personal account first and foremost, so don't expect a lot of posts about it :3

I'm also developing a game emulator frontend called Highscore, but how many spoons I have for it varies wildly over time ​:neocat_sad:​
