Sorry, I don't normally post memes, but I just came across this one I had saved to my computer and wanted to share it. I think it is so funny! (Ya, I know, I'm weird.)

My #introduction needs a refresh.
I'm a #PhD student at the University of #Vermont, studying the #Evolution of #Evolvability. I'm into #AI, #ALife, #Biology, and #Philosophy, because I want to understand #life, #adaptation, and #intelligence using my native language of #ComputerScience. I share my musings and #research on my #blog. I love #science generally, and am full of bitchy #AcademicChatter.
I was a #SoftwareEngineer in #SiliconValley for many years, but left in 2021. I'm glad I did, and now I feel a bit betrayed by the #TechIndustry. I've been going back to my #FOSS roots, and gradually #DeGoogle ing my life. I still love to talk about #code #craft, #UX, and healthy #engineering #culture. Recently I've been enjoying #gpu #programming, mostly in #taichilang.
I have a wife and a #cat. I love #nature, #photography, #cooking, and #yoga.
All kinds of people are valid and worthy, but #trans people, folks on the #autism spectrum, and #bipoc get a shout out right now because they need our support.
Pondering the origins of #morphology in the #Ediacaran period. There was an article posted yesterday about how different features of organisms seem linked, talking about fern vascular structures and leaves and stuff. The way that kind of thing happens probably started 600 million years ago. Just one of the things I like to think about.

Messing around with email clients as I do once in a while; I'm expecting Mozilla to start forcing AI slop into Thunderbird any day now. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Why can't Evolution or Kontact import Thunderbird settings? Seems like this would be an obvious feature.
(Kontact apparently needs one? or two? other programs to do any kind of import, and the Flatpak version doesn't include it/them, which seems like an oversight).

Only 10 to 15 percent of people are left-handed. @popsci@flipboard.com explains the science behind it. Does the fediverse mirror the world? Vote in our poll!

I imagine that there will be a slightly higher reporting of non-right-handedness in Activity Pub instances,because we think differently.
