I built my first computer in 1980 after a degree in Engineering Science. 25 years as a professional engineer followed by 10 years teaching IT and Computing. An early adopter of bulletin boards, then dial-up internet. I have never been attracted to social media but now Mastodon beckons as I like the ethos and FOSS approach.
I am now retired and happily messing about with Raspberry Pi's appreciative of computing power I could only dream of earlier in my career.

As #PrideMonth begins, let’s remember to be intentional about creating a community that promotes equality, acceptance, and inclusion.

In 1948, a drive-in located in Los Angeles implemented a unique system using conveyer belts to deliver food. This idea, patented by Kenneth C. Purdy as the Motormat, aimed to eliminate the need for carhops by relying on a conveyor belt system for order taking and food delivery.

Can I just give a shout out to #radioparadise
an ad-free, user supported music station, which I discovered a couple of years ago.

Choice of music is a personal thing, but I do like the style and ethos of the station which IMHO tessellates nicely with that of Mastodon and the Fediverse.

The founder/owner's words "Routing around Capitalism" brought the parallels to mind.

The war is on our land, so the Peace Formula can only be Ukrainian – Volodymyr #Zelenskyy

"In war, there is an aggressor and there is a victim. There is the one who starts the war and enters the territory of another state. A peace plan cannot be prepared by the aggressor - it is prepared by those who have suffered. The war is on our land, so the #Peace Formula can only be ours,"

Yup, #brexitreality is really coming into focus....

The UK population is waking up the fact they were had, by a bunch of lying chancers who we can now see have wrecked the UK's economy....

For many #Remainers the fact the #projectfear (so-called) was all too accurate is a bittersweet vindication.

Three times as many people now see #Brexit as a negative influence, in contrast to the one in five who remain convinced its solved some problems....

Lovely to see your posts - they haven't been showing up in my timeline (I think unless I didn't look at the right moment and it all washed downstream time wise).
Your farm looks wonderful and your residents are loving it. Thank you.
Eleven days old and the nest is getting crowded! It's hard to get a decent photo as they are wriggling around the whole time and with the low light levels many blurred images (524 today and these the best of the bunch!)
