Now you know. #introductions

Our first post should be an #introduction so here we go. We are a small press based in Uganda/East Africa, and we are passionate about speculative fiction. We publish #SciFi #fantasy #horror #solarpunk #afrofuturism and #africanfuturism books, and we also love #folklore so you should expect to see regular posts about African folk lore. This will be our only social media presence.

Time for a new #introductions

I am ostensibly human and can prove it cryptographically.

I like Art, all art, and most technologies. I hack mostly Perl, Bash, and Python but have spent the most of my time building websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (ever since Flash/ActionScript died). I've been working with AI since long before LLMs were a thing, mostly for creative endeavors. I survived the flame wars and will no longer tolerate that kind of behavior. I am not a "Real Programmer" and neither is anyone else.

I play guitar, mandolin, some piano & drums, and I'm picking up ukulele a little. I crochet manageably and knit poorly. I can still do a fair number of my old magic tricks, but nobody really wants to see that kinda stuff anymore. I occasionally draw, collage, and paint as well as repair most household objects.

I have art and writing on my website(s), and if you can find them all hopefully you enjoy some of it, because I am not a "Content Creator" and I'm not interested in becoming an "Influencer," I just want to make stuff and experience life and share it with the world at my discretion.

I'm married with 2 kids, but usually I keep them out of my online interactions for their privacy.

Here's some hashtags I follow:
#art #history #retro #music #pocketmusic #gameboy #android #chiptunes #bots #ML #AI #guitar #mandolin #busking #streetphotography #streetart #stickerart #magic #webdesign #webdevelopment #uspolitics #dsa #zen #scifi #php #bash #python #javascript #node #automation #discordia #education

Joined Mastodon a couple of weeks ago but just moved servers, so here is my #introductions post (again)!

I am a #music lover, a #rambler, a #gig and #festival goer, a #scifi #geek, a #gamer and a #beer drinker from #Derby #UK.

I'll be mainly posting random thoughts about #nerd stuff, #TV, #movies, #games, #retro or whatever pops into my head.

Recently took part in #Inktober, didn't draw a Mastodon but I did do a baby Armadillo.

MARTIAN SUNRISE

Epic and atmospheric ambient space music track with grandiose soundscapes, pretty fizzy and noisy, large sweeps and stereo image.

#scifi idea...

Someone makes a "replicator" [star trek not star gate] and one key thing it can make is another of itself.

Set up to make food, drink, clothes, medications, soap and stuff. With some security (prescription drugs if you show a prescription, alcohol if you show an ID, all good).

How quickly would it spread (replicates itself).

How quickly would all fast food, supermarkets, restaurants, all see sales go to zero, and go bankrupt.

Would any governments dare to try (LOL) to ban it?
