#introductions
I'm the software guy for the New Zealand Institute of Language Brain and Behaviour at the University of Canterbury.
My thing is reducing drudgery for linguistics researchers, by combining and developing open source software.
Among programmers I'm a linguist. Among linguists I'm a programmer.

Programming languages, APIs, and documentation are usually in English; coding is pretty overtly anglo-centric. But there are more insidious biases too.
e.g. in #MarkDown in general and #Rmd in particular, a block of code starts/ends with ``` which is 3 taps on the same key on a US English keyboard. On a Latin American keyboard, it's a careful sequence of 9 keystrokes. Similarly some #Emacs keystrokes are a nightmare.
Presumably other conventions cause non-anglophone coding annoyances?
The Software Sustainability Institute's "Next steps in coding" Research Software Camp looks to have some great workshops!
...or as we say in New Zealand English:
"The fourth of May be with you."
WOW. Yeah I've been on mastadon for like only five days now but I'm already flabbergasted at the world that should have been... https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#Overview
Like literally how did we all agree to just NOT have interoperable social networks??? Looking at the activity pub docs makes it clear how ridiculously easy that would have been. You want my content? Just GET my outbox. Want to send me something? Just POST to my inbox. The server can be anything you want, just format your messages in this (VERY INTUITIVE!) way. It's so simple it's STUPID.
I'm very new to all of this, so I'll admit that there's a lot I don't know, but what is painfully obvious right now is how, yet again, the tendrils of Capitalism have fundamentally altered the STRUCTURE of the Internet to make it less open, less empowering and generally WORSE for most users. However, what's also becoming clear is that it does not have to be that way, and being here is in some small way, bringing about that better possible future.

Hi, I'm Aurynn. I run cloudisland.nz, an instance entirely hosted in Aotearoa New Zealand, on the Catalyst Cloud OpenStack cloud!
Cloud Island is a general-purpose instance, with a lot of really cool folks doing really cool things.
I toot mostly about cloud technology as I work on the Cloud Island infrastructure, general life, and sometimes #sociology.
I also do #photo #books sometimes!
I am transgender. Trans rights are human rights.
Welcome!
Ok fine let’s do a better #introduction that’s actually searchable.
I'm Ártemis, a non-binary linguist and translator (of Spanish and English) who's working on their Linguistics PhD... on non-binary Spanish. I’m also big into sewing (clothes) and recently got into #rollerderby but am an absolute disgrace on wheels.
I use this same @ (#queerterpreter) all around the net
#linguistics #queerinstem #nonbinary #nobinarie ¿#nonbinarylinguistics?
Okay, I guess it's time to get on with the #introductions!
I'm Badri, based in #India (or should I say, #SouthIndia!). I #read a lot, both #books and articles, which I sync to my #ereader to avoid bright screens.
I edit a mostly science and culture magazine called #Snipette (more on that in a bit).
For my income, though, I'm working as a #programmer. I've been tooting at Fosstodon for a while as @badrihippo, but I decided to create an account here for the other side of me!

Hey folks, please welcome to the fediverse some lovely people from The Turing Way project, which is building an open handbook to reproducible, ethical, collaborative #DataScience https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/
@da5nsy @toothFAIRy @jcolomb @LauraC_rter @malvikasharan @yabellini @yoyehudi @likeajumprope (ok, a few have been on here for a while... 😄)
Also, experimentally, follow @theturingway to see boosts of toots related to the project
If you're new here
A lot of people won't accept a follow request, or might (soft-)block you if your profile doesn't have an avatar/header/bio/any posts at all
This isn't personal
It's just a learned response that is protective against spammy follow-bots
If you give us something to go on, you may find that people get much friendlier! :)
