As an expat, an #introduction in English will also be topical. I take the opportunity to elaborate on my Portuguese post (https://ursal.zone/@RegisFrias/115865708335132892) instead of translating it, which can be done by a machine 😆

I came to #Finland in 2013 for a Masters degree in #newMedia at #AaltoUniversity. I have a Bachelor’s degree in #design and one in #music, but I earn my living as a web developer 🤷‍♂️ If you’d like to no more about me, please check my website: https://regisfrias.com/

I have become weary of #bigTech many years ago, but now I’m downright panicking. In my #utopia #democracy is the norm, people get their needs met by #cooperatives , all #tech is #foss , #inequality is just a memory and people are remunerated in accord with their contribution to society.

I’ll post in EN and PT. I’m out of… 😆

Ah, this classic awkward moment at a thesis defense in Finland when a few rookies begin to clap, but half a second later remember The Protocol Does Not Allow it, and that you're not supposed to ask questions when they ask whether you have any, and why are you even being so social
