I'm a student in #CompSci and #Philosophy (https://www.philocomp.net) at the University of #Oxford. Busy University life will make me unresponsive sometimes.

I'm a #FreeSoftware #OpenSource promoter (co-running https://ox.ogeer.org/) and developer (https://ogeer.org/#code-forges). I would love to increase confidence and become a long-term contributor to communities' projects.

I'm a beginner but interested in #governance - social.coop is an example.

I also enjoy #etymology and language-learning (message me in ES or ZH_Hans), considering and protecting our natural #environment, and music.

I love creative, diverse methods of human expression and existence. I shun prejudice, and try to widen my perspectives. I am learning robust analytical arguments via Philosophy. Respectful, critical argument with me is welcome, but if it requires triggering topics, or could tire some, please put it behind a content warning. I will try to do the same.

PhiloComp.net

The aim of this website is to highlight the many strong links between Philosophy and Computing, for the benefit of students of both disciplines.

@ogeer welcome to the Fediverse Oliver! Happy you're here. My biggest recommendation would be to follow @FediTips

@_elena Thank you very much, Elena, for helping make the Fediverse so welcoming. I have in fact been on the Fediverse for a while and used to be quite active, though I didn't make that clear (https://social.coop/@ogeer/116363438872678925). I have followed @FediTips nevertheless, because it has a lot of recommendations I haven't looked at yet.

Thank you also for your promotion of the Fediverse to the wider population, and demonstration that self-hosting doesn't require you to be a professional programmer. I have in fact mentioned your self-hosting journey when talking to my friends!

(social.coop's 1000-character limit is refreshing)

What about @[email protected]? That's an old account of mine - I lost the two-factor authentication on it. Due to my own laziness and some difficulty in communicating with the admin, I've not got around to migrating it here. You can verify that by seeing my verified link on this profile, and that oliver.geer.im redirects there.
