Quick reminder that my current job is killing me so share my resume and help me find a new one before I literally die from the stress of 50+ hour weeks.

@BobWilliams Work is always a good distraction ... unless of course, it's work that you need a distraction from 😛

@tivasyk Thank you 🙂

@BobWilliams Sorry to hear that. Been a bit too caught up in a few things at my end lately to catch up on your posts ... Did notice that you had a bunch of stuff happening but didn't know what. Hope things calm down though. Sending good vibes your way 🙂

@BobWilliams Thanks, Bob 🙂Hope you are doing well?

I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago. Then I got busy with work and life and didn't write for the longest time. Finally, my second novel is out today. It's a science fiction novel called "Sir Lanka Files" set in a future Sri Lanka thousands of years from now.

The book is on Amazon here:

Refreshed my writing portfolio with some samples. Happy to chat if any indie folks would like a bit of freelance narrative/writing.

I'm great at lore, world building, juicy flavour text and unique characters.

Happy to say a piece of flash fiction I wrote " The climb" has been published in the Fairfield Scribes anthology.

I just turned in my #thesis for my MSc in #ComputerScience with #DataAnalytics at #UniversityofYork!

The title of my thesis is “Exploring the impact of data imbalance on ε-Differential Privacy” and I do just that using the open-source Python library developed by IBM, diffprivlib. I’d love to share the results of my experiments in a white paper of some kind. Does anyone I’m connected to have experience in converting a masters thesis into a white paper for a journal or conference?

New Server; New #Introduction

I'm Daniel, I've been involved with activism for most of my life, and I have a life-long interest in the intersection of technology and class/privilege.

I live near the sea -- but not too near -- in Midleton, a small town in Ireland.

Parent to four kids, 75% of whom are now adults, and half of whom are attending University (which is *astonishing* as I'm still only 25...)

I love #reading, and try to post about books I love, which are usually Science Fiction and Fantasy. #amreading

I autodelete all my posts after 60 days.

I've been on fedi since 2011, have used #mastodon since April 2017.

Hello, new Mastadon server! I've migrated for the second time. It's been a while since I posted - off doing other projects, such as writing and publishing another scifi novel and teaching programming (circuits in Rec Room), but hopefully I will be around more. I used to do some AI-generated images for writing prompts. I've also been researching city planning and architecture for another book. I really like the clean, Japanese esthetic. I'm also a programmer, emphasizing databases, using whatever language best fits the task. I'm also currently teaching myself Rhino (3D software). My website has a lot of random and interesting things (linked in profile).

@codemonkeymike Which Linux distro do you use?

My biggest issue is my dependence on a few apps. I've been slowly switching over my personal apps to Flutter so that they can run on any platform, but I haven't tested them on Linux and don't really know how well Flutter apps work generally in Linux. But once I have all my personal apps converted over, I will (hopefully) be free 🙂

The first OS I used was DOS (well, if you don't count the Sinclair ZX80) and then I moved on to Windows. Then in 2009 I switched to macOS.

I found the hardware and software as trouble-free as could be and so I've stuck with macOS till now. But now, given Apple's current direction, I have been thinking since WWDC that it is time to switch again. Question is, to what?

I see people online who talk about how they'll never switch away from Apple for whatever reason. Good for them. I have no such compunctions. I will switch if the OS (or the company) no longer aligns with what I want.

I have been running both Linux and Windows on secondary machines for a while because I knew this day was coming. From a purely software perspective, given that it has the most software and supports most things I currently run, Windows seems to be the choice. But I'm not absolutely certain.

But it looks very much as if my next computer will not be a Mac.

#Apple #macOS #Windows #Linux #OS #Switching

Being an #Apple user in 2024 is basically:

- I LOVE their hardware.
- I’m AFRAID of what they’ll do to their software and operating systems.
- I’m DISGUSTED by everything else they do to developers and users like myself.

Hey friends, I’m trying to keep my family afloat. Work is rather light on ATM.

Things i can do for you:
* design and build custom one off machinery/tools/electronics/toys/cosplay
* research recommend and deploy iot solutions
* build hardware firmware and software
* manage teams/projects
* tech writing
* commissions for flash fiction (see bio)

Accepting work anywhere in the range 30min to full time. #Fedihired

Trip Tunes v1.2 is now live on the App Store! It has greatly improved variety and uniqueness in playlists due to some updates to the prompt and some client-side magic.

If you give it a try, let me know how the playlists are!

@stroughtonsmith Every time I hear about Phil Schiller, or have an interaction which is somehow connected to him — like an App Store rejection — I always think that he's Apple's Ballmer. Seems to have the same kind of attitudes, and the same overall net effect for his company.
