R. L. Dane :Debian: rl_dane@alpha.polymaths.social

Heyo! I'm a developer making open, user-centric software. I'm particularly interested in tools for thought, programming languages, and operating systems. If you want to chat my inbox is always open; I promise I don't bite!

I also love cooking Italian food, and measure my quality of life in days between pasta dinners. Well, or anything Szechuan, I could eat that all day. Or Korean. Or uh...you know what it may actually be easier to list off the food I don't like.

I walk around and plug things in.

Trying to put the planet back together until we can dredge up a spare one

I like coffee, Philly, Pittsburgh, anything on two wheels, music, linux, theology, cats, computers, pacifism, art, unity, equity, and getting high off airplane glue. Will use Adobe Illustrator for food.

Love a good chat, I follow folks who interact. Here to make friends, say hi!

The unconference for the people who move the Fediverse forward.

Open to speed demos and presentations, as well as ad hoc working groups, with everyone from early adopters to new users.

What kind of social media environment can we build together?

The first very successful event took place online at the end of March, 2023. Planning the next event already, follow to learn more.

Self-taught musician, avid reader, runner, #9front-eer, wannabe poet, solarpunker. Was not properly socialized; may bite. Mostly looking for friends; feel free to DM :) [and please do! It gets lonely up in here, even with the head voices doing their best to keep me sane]

Interested in Security.

Grew up on BBSs and see the future of the internet as decentralized.

Too much consolidation of power in the hands of too few in too many areas of our lives for the corruption to continue for much longer.

Code slinger by day, 6 string strummer by night.

Fan of sci-fi, 80s pop culture, home brew, loose leaf tea and tech.

Beethoven is my spirit composer.

My instance runs experimental software (GotoSocial).

Languages: de-DE-1901, en-DE, some la, and I might understand some nl, es or similar.

Mostly interested in cats. Also, good coffee☕, garlic, cats, nature, European paganism, IT (but not those new-fangled hypes; I like my Korn Shell, Assembly, used to like C; I run VMs, not (never!) containers; I hate the way people try to force systemd upon other people and avoid it and other plagues), cats, music (baroque was the peak of all music, it went downhill from there: Beethoven and Mozart were the beginning of that; love John Rutter’s though, and Nightwish/Tarja…), garlic, cats, good coffee, books, good fanfiction… oh, and, did I mention? Cats! I also dare to sing and dabble a bit in #TeamRecorder, and I go geocaching, opencaching, terracaching, … and occasionally play Munzee.
Dogs and SJWs are not welcome. I don’t come here for deep social discussions or something, so don’t bother me with these. Nor with shudder… politics. And I’ll refuse follows from people who endorse ML/LLM (so-called “AI”) and/or content output by them, since the latter is almost always illegal.

My feed will include RSS posts from other activity feeds of mine (posted via daily cronjob, not in real time, so their post timestamp is irrelevant) as well as RTs and no CWs. RTs are not my own content and belong to the original poster. I often RT or boost posts I do not understand, e.g. in foreign languages, just because the picture is nice or something.

I run my own single-user plus bots (so far, but I might admit personal acquaintances if they really want) instance of GtS so some tech trouble may be expected. No custom “emoji” (really, colon-magic-strings, which I loathed on other platforms already), but longer posts and Markdown formatting. (I hate Markdown, but it’s better than no formatting, I suppose?)

I’m personnel to Čara🐈‍⬛ (a rescue cat, FIP carrier and FIV+ but so lovely). Black cats are the best! (Though she’s got white nose, socks and bikini.)

Tech enthusiast, sometimes creative, usually tired. I like playing video games, comic books, and sleep. I'm just a nerd.
