More seriously though: #introductions part 2.
I’m in the home stretch of my undergrad #philosophy degree. I’m into #ethics and technology, hence, learning #python. I love #cats. I make experimental / #fluxus / #glitch #art and dark #ambient / drone-y #music in my spare time. I also love #writing. I’m noticing lots of tabletop gaming / #Dnd geeks on here, which is a breath of fresh air (I’m usually the cleric!) I miss gaming, actually. So yeah, that’s me in a #squirrel nutshell. :)
@alicet Welcome aboard!
@alicet ohey welcome! My undergrad was in philosophy with a focus on ethics :)
@isagalaev That’s a great question; I guess I could get more specific... I see the two as connected because I’m interested in the way data analysis can be used to categorize groups of people (potentially in an unfair way). I feel like learning Python is a logical first step to clarifying my ethical questions.
@isagalaev ... Questions that come to mind are about data privacy, the role of data brokers and the need for regulation, bias in analyzing data ... to name a few. I’ve found learning Python immensely helpful wrt grasping the complexity of things
@alicet Oh Hey! Welcome aboard! Is your music shared somewhere?
@absor70 will share some links soon :)
@alicet Hello Alice and welcome!
It's good to see fellow RPG geeks here :).
@alicet Where can I look at your art?
@ThisQueerBashesBack I’m working on this. I will add some here (publicly) soon. I used to use other communities for that purpose, but really need to just buckle down and make my own blog. Do you also make art ?
@alicet I do make art! I'm trying to funnel everything to be accessible via my WordPress, here: https://kadencreates.wordpress.com/
I've got a lot of updates to put on there, as I've probably got another 2 books worth of coloring pages done. But, for now, that's what viewable online.
Which communities did you use?
@ThisQueerBashesBack Instagram mostly. There’s a considerable number of net artists, creative coders, and glitch artists on there. I want to consolidate everything into a blog soon though.
@ThisQueerBashesBack nice! I’m a fan of kaleidoscopic patterns myself :)
@alicet + Got any of that drony/glitch music on hand to share?
@Hazmus just added a toot about this! 🎶
@alicet OOO, Squirrels.
Yay!
