Bytebro 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇬🇱@bytebro@mastodonapp.uk

Joined mastodonapp.uk back in Nov 2022. I have a 'backup' a/c on mendeddrum.org.

Oldish bloke, got to retirement age in 2024. Now retired, due to the old line about "when it stops being fun, stop doing it".

Anyway, old-school coder. I've worked with everything from punch-cards to Perl, via machine language and microcode, C, C++, SQL, etc, etc. Now a happy Linux user on Garuda.

Getting more radically 'left' as I get older. I despise all racists, homophobes, Nazis, etc.

I was thinking earlier, that sitting here on Fedi when I get home, with my reasonably curated feeds, is very much like sitting in a nice coffee house or perhaps a lovely quiet bar.  We just chat, and now and again someone will go "ooo, that reminds me..." and we all go off on a tangent for a while.  At some point various people will wander off to a couch or whatever, but a couple of new people will wander in and join us.

I LIKE it here. Really.   It's exactly as I recall the old BBS days, and early Usenet (before the "September That Never Ended" in 1993, of course).
