Lots of new people out there... #welcome
Here are my #introductions
I'm a nerd from #YYC (Calgary, Canada) into #FOSS software, #Linux and a bit of #BSD among other things. I host my own email and web including the mastodon instance https://coales.co as a hobby.
I work on #python stuff like #flask, #django and #tryton personally, and professionally in the field of #automation #SCADA .
Also big advocate of #openhardware.
I'm kind of libertarian but closer to Chomsky than Rand.
i'm super excited to see @algernon and others building (or planning to build) a distraction-free low-power sunlight-usable writing device
https://trunk.mad-scientist.club/@algernon/100916950170378613
for one, because it's useful and cool and i'd probably like to use one eventually
for two, because i really want to see the freewrite, which i am thoroughly grumpy about, get shown tf up https://tiny.tilde.website/@pho4cexa/99466679076881678
