Fedi:
"I'll follow this biologist, that lawyer and the psychiatrist over there, to widen my perspective a bit"

biologist: *i wrote this plugin in python for my blogging engine*
lawyer: *look at this nifty shell script i wrote*
psychiatrist: *i use arch btw*

@neil @lkundrak yes, Neil, it is about us ๐Ÿ˜‚

(It's like they just didn't add a part about the programming artist because 3 examples were enough)

Jima :Compromise_bi_flag:

@lkundrak I took great joy that this reached my timeline because of @neil.

@lkundrak i love fedi. It's full of passionate people that just share what they love.

@lkundrak If this were IRL, I'd reply "that's great! Now you know someone who uses Arch!"

But this is Fedi

I wouldn't bet you're not an Arch developer

and the teasing might be misconstrued without a /j

@lkundrak Well, of course it would be the biologist writing something inside of a python. ๐Ÿ˜‰

@lkundrak haha I actually do know at least one lawyer who uses Linux and is on fedi :blobcatlul:

@lkundrak At one point thats amazing and actually shows how every discipline of science slowly requires more and more computational skills. At the other hand it shows the downside and skew of fedi towards only one group of people.

@lkundrak If it consoles you a bit. I am a biologist and I haven't touched R in six years, nor Java in 14.

But these days I mostly toot about non-biology stuff. :welp:

@lkundrak Yes, the natural state of using a computer is knowing how to program at least a bit as otherwise that's like using a calculator but never using the * or / operators and only ever using + and -.

Even secretaries have been known to learn to program Emacs Lisp once sat in front of a computer running the Church of Emacs, instructed to carry out the secretarial work and given a manual how to use the editor that didn't say that was programming.

>Psychiatrist uses a proprietary systemd/Linux distro and doesn't know how to program.
Checks out.

@lkundrak Also, half of them are furries.

@lkundrak me, an artist: I am employed as an engineer and I build machines for fun.

My Fedi:
"I'll follow these tech people, there are so many here and maybe I'll even learn something."

tech people: "look what I cooked/crocheted/grew in my garden"

@lkundrak

And that's beautiful. None of us are wholly defined by our profession - we lead rich lives, and we share.

@lkundrak hahaha It's true. I've seen more programming-related things since joining Friendica than I've ever seen in my life!

@lkundrak tell us we're all nerds without saying we're all nerds ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿค˜

@lkundrak We nerds gonna nerd, it's true.

@lkundrak and the famous surgeon turns out to be a furryโ€ฆ

@lkundrak The shink needs their head examined, obvs. Raspian or whatever it is called this week FTW...

@lkundrak goddamn this is the perfect distillation of the Fediverse. 11/10. no notes.

@lkundrak And then you follow programmers and all they do is argue about social politics. :blobcat-extremejoy:
