Hi everyone!

This is my #introduction (or #Introductions) post for the aus.social mastodon, as recommended by @aussocialadmin.

I'm new to this server and to #mastodon in general, so I'm still getting used to best practices.

Professionally, I'm a senior software engineer and absolutely love #programming.

I have over 10 years of professional experience, and in general, if I see a screenshot or graphic mockup of it, I can build it.

My GitHub can be found at https://github.com/f3rno64

If you have any technical questions or need some coding done, message me!

Overall, I'm usually either working on some new personal #OpenSource project, studying some newly-released technology, or playing video games 🙂📺

I work from home, so my days are a bit bland. I want to connect with like-minded people here on #mastodon and hopefully make new friends with similar interests, as they are hard to find around here (I'm from #bucharest, #romania).

If you ever want to chat, reach out! 🚀

And if you read this far, cheers to you 🍻

Have a great day!

Introduction, or better to say, re-introduction :-)

Well well well. I guess I should introduce myself a bit :-)

Hi, my name is Expert Plus, or at least this how do I call myself on Internet. I used to have else nicknames, but I prefer that one.

I am interested and focused on privacy. I am 3D artist as well.

I discovered Mastodon back in April 2021, but then left, because at the time I was (and still is unfortunately) a Twitter user, when it was still called Twitter, when it felt like Twitter, when was Twitter's API used to be free and not paid.

And one of the things that I always wanted is to get verified, to get that blue checkmark badge, you know? Never got it.

I wanted to verify my identity so people would know that it was me and of course - who wouldn't want this, huh? - I wanted to be and look famous.

Of course I never got that many followers on that place, and never got verified :-(

At the time, one of the things that were popular on Twitter was #100DaysOfCode and I started using it at the time to get more discovery from people (I was interested in programming at the time and quite experimented with practicing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc, but then I understood it's not my cup of coffee and left that interest)

Plus, I started using the #followback challenge (which means that if you follow some people who participates in that trend, they will follow you back) and after I found out it worked, I started crazily follow insane amount of people and got 200 followers.

Of course, at the time, it was smart Twitter's moderation and not Elon's stupid moderation, so I got my account suspended very quickly.

I then applied to their form (if you've been a Twitter user you know what am I talking about and you're indeed aware) and they unbanned me. Then I got banned 2 more times and after getting banned for 3rd time, I finally quit Twitter. Nope, I didn't switched to Mastodon instead, I weren't aware that it will soon become popular, I just quit Twitter without looking for alternatives. Could you believe that, huh?

Well, ok, back to my story. When I quit Twitter, it was April 2021. They banned my account with no reason right on my birthday, on 14 April 2021, when my parents gifted me an Alexa device, I logged in to my Twitter account on it, and then, apparently Twitter suspected it was a suspicious login, so after getting suspended for the 3rd time, I had quit Twitter because I got tired of its stupid bans of my account.

So, 1 year had passed. It's April 2022, and, as I was browsing YouTube (I recently became privacy focused at that time, but that's another story that I will tell the other time), I started hearing more and more rumors that Elon Musk is about to buy Twitter. Unlike people like you, who prefer to freak about him being idiot, I didn't knew Elon that well, although I was aware of his existence, and I - guess what? - believed that he is going to save Twitter and give it the freakin' edit button I needed for years!

Well, he bought it. I don't know if anyone of you, as Twitter users remember that, but at the time, the first thing I noticed that he had implemented was the down button which looked like this -> ⬇️

The second curious thing I noticed is the "Twitter Blue" thing. I looked it up but it didn't interested me.

Then, you know, Elon had "unbought" Twitter, getting rid of his deal, but then he re-bought it.

Anyways, my story is, that at the time I was using an amazing app - have no idea if anyone of you used it back in day - which was kizie.co due to the fact I needed a better Twitter app since 2019.

I will not share my eventual reaction to Elon's stupid changes as he implemented them, but will say this: in May 2022, as I heard rumors people were leaving Twitter for Mastodon, I re-joined Mastodon this time at mstdn.social .

Sure, I liked it, but still preferred Twitter because the main 3D community was there and Blender artists, like Gleb Alexandrov and Captain Disillusion (both are here now BTW, although CD had stopped being active on Mastodon and still prefers Twitter. He is on Threads as well) and else artists.

BTW, if you can name please, what 3D artists and 3D news can I follow on here, I would very much appreciate it, because that was the reason I liked Twitter, and that's - yes that's - what gave me the Twitter vibe that I miss on here. If you know anyone on here who posts news about 3D artists (example: 80 LEVELS on Twitter) , is a 2D animator artist, is a 3D Artist, let me know, because I damn need that much to follow people like these and would be very grateful for this, thank you in advance!

But back to my story. So, in May 2022, I joined Mastodon, and then....when Elon started banning many accounts, - mstdn.social former and current probably remember - many Mastodon servers started becoming unavailable to use, and even Elon made fun of it.

I don't remember, but somewhere around in 2023 (probably after rebranding, oh yeah, probably after that), I started becoming more active on Mastodon now, switched a few Mastodon servers, and now I'm on here.

Here are a few facts I noticed:

On Twitter, you're not allowed to have the "expert" username. That's ridiculous, because nobody can have that username on on there. Also, you can't have username more then 15 characters which isn't great right?

Mastodon has most of the issues fixed. Edit button weren't on both Mastodon and Twitter, although Elon promised he would implement it, and Mastodon implemented it first (Friendica actually implemented it first long before all of that Elon-related stuff happened), and only then Elon did.

So!

Now I'm on here, have better engagement, most but not all, of my Twitter followings has been restored on here, on Fediverse, and now what?

Well, I recently switched to this Mastodon server. I used to have 140 followers before, now since I switched, it's 117. With your help, I hope I will hit 200 followers soon.

I learned how Mastodon's engagement works, I posted a few viral posts on my previous account, and hope, will post on here as well.

Oh and BTW. Guess what? The username that I have on this server is already taken by an inactive Twitter Russian account. I tried contacting anyone who was related to it, but never got any response back :-(

Anyways, hi :-)

Hope I will be welcomed on here :-)

P.S, Actually, if anyone interested, no, I didn't removed my Twitter account yet. There are still people who are my favorite (not Elon actually, I hate him and block him) who refused to joined ANY Twitter alternatives. Are you familiar with Mutahar? Mutahar, who is known as SomeOrdinaryGamers? Well, he is one of these guys who haven't joined ANY Twitter alternatives, although, back in day, he did made a video about Mastodon's Twitter account suspension and the Twitter Migration itself.

#softwareEngineering #computerScience #programming #commonLisp #history #essay #reading of Whither Original Thought #transcript from @kentpitman
https://screwlisp.small-web.org/show/kmp-whither-original-thought/
with a link to its beginning in the interview.

I chose to hand-transcribe it to remove (and probably introduce) discontinuities.

A central theme is the tyrannies of programming libraries and the question of having exhaustive knowledge of your increasingly numerous dead forebearers.

Read it yourself (and/or listen finally).

No Edrx (https://anggtwu.net/) again, but I will read a note from him about his own type theory quest.

He speaks to some of the different meanings that appear when different people say the words type theory, as appear on the Mastodon recently!

Also, I got a lot of notes on obvious improvements and contex for my https://screwlisp.small-web.org/ articles so far which we can share and talk about!

Minimal case of starting a #lisp #ecl image outside of emacs running common lisp interface manager, then connecting to the image from inside emacs - working with mcclim, closing emacs, the external lisp image with the gui created in emacs is still there. Party trick for days.

This is the necessary precedent for writing exciting using-clim-as-intended articles. Also I have an emacs folder now.

A default-looking gui window. hel has been partially typed at the bold Command: prompt, which will autocomplete to Help presumably.

Autocompleted help, autocompleted help topic, Commands (i.e. list currently available expert shell commands), autocompleting q -uit. CLIM default looking gui.

#introduction

I was told to introduce myself: so, hi! I'm a Mastodon noob.

I'm also a writer of some sorts: I'm writing a blog on PHP, a newsletter, a PHP framework, and a scifi novel (which I publish on my blog)

I've been able to turn my hobby into my job: two years ago I became a developer advocate for PHP at JetBrains, PhpStorm.

I'm also the host of a YouTube channel called PHP Annotated.

All links are in my bio :)

💩 #Attention Gen-z and Milli. Why have you dumbed YOURSELVES DOWN even further? Sending yourselves? further down the rabbit whole of #No_Return!

NEWSFLASH #TEXT AND SOFTWARE CODE ARE WORLDS APART! Like 🍎 apples and 🍊 oranges. Think about it. You are in infantile stages @ llm text scraping.

#Software_Code? and you can build your own platform with coding knowledge at a click of a mouse? NOT ONLY DELUSIONAL but.. #INSANITY! not to mention IMPOSSIBLE and could never be used safely in PRODUCTION (WILD) even with #SUPERVISON! 📏

Question❓ We have Over 300,000 thousand PROGRAMMATIC #programming hours under belt. If there was an easier software way DO YOU NOT THINK we would have FOUND IT BY NOW?? (24/7 SINCE 1999)?

..Invention Disclosure below?

You all remind me of my kids. Truth staring you right in the face.. but you choose to believe in a lie. So sad:(

We started 26 years ago. THE OBVIOUS. How old is SAM -- snake oil salesman?? Who invents AI. Rotflmao!

..Even the story is SO #FARCE BASED ON HIS AGE!

From all the LLM SCRAPING (COPYCATS) the RESULTS are simply the MEAN? The Mean is NOT even #accurate_predictive_search! It's the #Mean!

~ #Half_Measures AVAILED US NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH! ~

This is NOT AI! #Programmatic yes, but the results are USELESS! ..Unless #IP_THEFT OR #Copyright_Infringement.

CENTRALIZED BIG TECH CALLED YOUTUBE DELIVERS "central" value. PROOF THIS IS NOT AI!

The Arithmetic Mean is the average of the numbers: a calculated "central" value of a set of numbers.

To calculate it:
• add up all the numbers,
• then divide by how many numbers there are.

Example: what is the mean of 2, 7 and 9?
Add the numbers: 2 + 7 + 9 = 18
Divide by how many numbers (i.e. we added 3 numbers): 18 ÷ 3 = 6
So the mean is 6.

PROOF This is NOT AI! Programmatic yes! but the result are USELESS!

Note: there are other types of mean such as Geometric Mean and Harmonic Mean.
