Hello, I’m Colleen from Glasgow UK

I’ve found Mastodon in my decision to stop using FB/Insta/Threads etc, and so far am loving it - not least due to the lack of adverts :)

I’m an accountant by trade; pianist, dog and cat lover, and avid reader in my spare time.

#s that I’m following so far:

#introduction
I’m in North Scotland.

I work around energy & technology, usually at the point where the demo ends and reality begins. That’s where I’m most comfortable.

Outside of that, I like travel, films that reward a second viewing, and conversations that don’t rush to conclusions.

I’m mostly here to listen, occasionally to ask awkward questions, and very rarely to be convinced by a slide deck.

Also, a lot of snow recently. Here is our miniature Schnauzer desperate to get back indoors.

Hello, all! I’m stoked to be here and out of algo-misery to rediscover the commons with y’all. That said, I’m still getting my bearings on how to explore this place. Like is the internet really encouraging me to ask strangers for directions in the year of our lord 2026?? Well, here I am asking! Which corners of the federation are you enjoying these days? Bonus points if they involve #dogs #goodbooks #bloomscrolling #walkablecities

With care,
Liz (& Jayber!)

Salut Piaille,
Je suis une professionnelle de l'animation qui cherche à faire connaître ses BDs et illustrations sur un réseau que j'espère plus charitable que d'autres envers les petits comptes.

Passionnée d'histoire, de rôlisme, de culture japonaise entre 1000 autres choses, mes centres d'intérêt se retrouvent dans mes travaux, parfois avec humour ou une pointe d'érotisme.

Ma BD "Ilario à la campagne", qui raconte les aventures mortelles d'un assassin ingénu, recherche activement un éditeur.

A très vite j'espère !

Did anyone else try out the Apple Voice Technology offered for free by Draft2Digital to produce audiobooks? I was amazed at how terrible and primitive the Apple Voice Technology actually is, considering what Apple is. Here's one clue about how terrible the technology is: I wrote a book in 2023 under the pen name N.J. Edwards. The computer-generated male voice introduced the audiobook this way: "This is an audiobook by author New Jersey Edwards. Granted, New Jersey Edwards is a fantastic pen name. I wish I'd thought of it. But that is not the author's name on the front of my book. The audiobook of my novel BEER POUR is so atrocious that there's actual computer code jibberish spoken in the middle of a dialogue scene. I could go on and on about all the flaws, but there's not enough room here. Go back to the drawing board, Apple. #Apple #audiobook #books #bookstodon #mastodon #book #novel #novel #voice #tech #technology #author #NewJersey #draft2digital #D2D #computergenerated #computer #introduction #intro #introductions #scribesAndMakers #writing #writersCoffeeClub #writer #publishing #MyWork #writersOfMastodon #writers #writersLife #indieAuthor #author #authors #audio #audiofiction #startup

Ich interessiere mich mit meinen neun Gehirnen und acht Armebeinen für Kunst, Kultur und Sperriges im Raum Rhein-Main und anderswo. Inspiration und Quatsch sind mir wichtig. 👾

Damit wir alle mehr davon in unserem Leben haben können, will ich auf diesem Account auf Veranstaltungen, die ich interessant finde, hinweisen und, falls ich selber auch da war, davon berichten. Nicht immer positiv, weil wenns Mist war, war es halt Mist, aber immer gut gelaunt. 🙂

Good morning, afternoon, evening, and goodnight, folks.
My name's Blue, and I'm an artist and writer. I'm currently working on a fantasy novel of mine, all the while drawing sketches and sometimes animation (I'm still learning...). I also do some photography, just for fun. The Mini Zoro in my profile picture is also a shot I took while traveling to Tokyo, Japan.

Anyways, I hope we can get along well. That's all from me, thanks for reading this, really appreciate it.
Have a nice day, everyone!

Hi, I’m José. Just moved over from Twitter.

I’m a software engineer based in the UK. At work I build distributed systems in Rust; outside work I experiment with languages and systems programming, and I read a lot (classics, sci-fi, history). My blog is linked in my profile (recently migrated from GitHub to Codeberg).

I love talking about low-level code, performance, and distributed systems, and anything book related.

Feel free to say hi, and I’m always happy to receive book recommendations.

Never did Twitter but I like this. #introduction listening to #searchengine and doing my daily nighttime dishes. Big #hardfork fan too so I’m loving this collab
