We've all got #digital televisions now, with little micro #circuits and #computer #chips.

And we all used to have #analog #televisions, with #picture tubes and fuses.

And #TIL what came before that:

Mechanical #Television

I suppose an introduction is in order. Better make one before I forget...

I'm Ferrus, your local queer goat! 🐐

I'm a #pansexual, #agender, and #aromantic of the #autistic #furry variety! My presentation is primarily feminine, though I incorporate some masculine or neutral pieces when the mood strikes me.

I was born and raised in #newzealand, though you wouldn't know that from my accent, a weird american-british-kiwi hybrid.

My Hobbies/Special Interests include but are not limited to: #linux, #anime, #vidogames, #tabletop, #books, #movies, #tv, #space, #fantasy, #sciencefiction, #oldtechnology, #lego, and #sustainablefashion

My favourite pieces of media are: #Warhammer40K, #TheExpanse, #StarTrek, #StarBlazers, #Tensura, #DungeonsAndDragons, #Pathfinder, #WorldofDarkness, #Stargate, and the #nasuverse

I may occasionally toot about these

Currently looking for education in some kind of Systems Administration Role, and run #NixOS on a daily basis. I also build my own machines.

My toots and boosts may occasionally be #NSFW. DNI with these unless you are of legal age.

Feel free to DM me, unless you're a #troll, #bigot, or anything else of the sort.

Offenders will find themselves fed to an Elder Wyrm (the mute/block button)

This is my inherited 1974 #Brother sewing machine. I've never used one before.

No computing or display screen, just complex mechanics and relies on a weird hefty removable steel bobbin holder!

Initial projects: broken handle on a bag, cushion seat covers repair including a missing tie, stitching an unraveled towel hem, making a leatherette phone case!

I'm not good at it, but at least I'm trying!
