#introductionsHi! My main skills are in #programming theoretical CS and #math. I'm interested in #foss, #ballet, #music (playing the #piano), #hex (the board game), and lots of other things I'm forgetting.I've been taking time to relax and play after having most recently worked at #google. Some things I've been doing:* teaching* projects, e.g. https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2020/11/18/sound/* #reading, mostly #scifi and #fastasyA question: how many of you have friends who use Mastodon who you met elsewhere?

@elb Cool! I'm curious: did you mostly meet them online? I think I've found two Mastodon profiles of people I remember previously communicating with, and both were online. Actually both from games of #nomic --- @Gaelan through Agora, and @abliss ran one called "Ecmanomic".So far haven't found a profile for anyone I met physically. But I haven't been here very long!

@falsifian @Gaelan @abliss Yes, I met them all online, many of them on https://retrocomputingforum.com/?u=elb . It seems that there's a lively retrocomputing culture on Mastodon, much to my joy.I'm also Mastodon-friends with a fellow FLOSS developer (@grimmy) whom I've known for close to 20 years now. I technically met him online, but we've met in person a number of times over the years. Ironically, due to federation semantics, neither of us knew the other was on Mastodon until just a couple of weeks ago!
