introduction

<p>Time for a new <a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a>!</p><p>I&#x27;m a former <a href="/tags/geographer/" rel="tag">#geographer</a> &amp; <a href="/tags/mapmaker/" rel="tag">#mapmaker</a>, now working on a <a href="/tags/phd/" rel="tag">#PhD</a> project in digital <a href="/tags/archaeology/" rel="tag">#archaeology</a>, between <a href="/tags/prehistory/" rel="tag">#Prehistory</a> and <a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#openSource</a> <a href="/tags/geospatial/" rel="tag">#geospatial</a>. </p><p>I used to work as an <a href="/tags/artist/" rel="tag">#artist</a>, I&#x27;m into <a href="/tags/sailing/" rel="tag">#sailing</a> (I was <a href="/tags/livingaboard/" rel="tag">#livingAboard</a> during a few years) and <a href="/tags/musicmaking/" rel="tag">#musicMaking</a> is my happy place.

<p>Psst, do you need some cool music to listen to? </p><p>Dig if you will The List of over 1001 albums from 115+ places/peoples, as recommended by 120 Fedizens (<a href="https://1001otheralbums.com/the-list/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>1001otheralbums.com/the-list/</a>)! Think &quot;1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die&quot;, but, like, NOT just Western pop. We chose these albums not because of popularity or sales or reviews by influencers and whatnot, but rather because they’re important to us personally and/or represent a band/genre/people not well represented in official lists, albums and artists that we think deserve way more attention.</p><p>We feature an album from The List every few days on the 1001 Other Albums blog (<a href="https://1001otheralbums.com/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>1001otheralbums.com/</a> or <a href="https://linernotes.club/@[email protected]" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="linernotes.club/@[email protected]"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">linernotes.club/@1001otheralbu</span><span class="invisible">[email protected]</span></a>) if you want help choosing what to listen to, with new spotlights summarized (by <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mas.to/@buffyleigh" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>buffyleigh</span></a></span>) and linked here on linernotes.club. With the help of some lovely guest contributors, we’ve featured nearly 215 albums so far...and counting! Sometimes we also do some extra fun things like a Fedi-wide AOTY list, fake festivals, and Fedi-sourced oral history posts, and boost other cool music-related things. Give us a follow here and/or the blog, I bet you&#x27;ll hear something you dig.</p><p>👉 And, if you want to share your thoughts on one of the albums not yet featured via guest post, OR want to add your favourite albums that aren&#x27;t yet on The List, hmu! 👈 </p><p><a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a> <a href="/tags/music/" rel="tag">#music</a> <a href="/tags/1001otheralbums/" rel="tag">#1001OtherAlbums</a> <a href="/tags/musicdiscovery/" rel="tag">#MusicDiscovery</a> <a href="/tags/listentothis/" rel="tag">#ListenToThis</a></p>

<p>An <a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a> 👋 I&#x27;m Metin from the Netherlands.

<p><a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a> </p><p>Time for another introduction.</p><p>I&#x27;m one of those fucked-up human experiments the CIA got up to in the 70s. I was never allowed any social support or validation. About the only messaging I&#x27;ve gotten from my people is, &quot;fuck off and die&quot;, and it generally wasn&#x27;t delivered gently. It was delivered on the end of a boot.</p><p>I got the ninja childhood and was supposed to be an assassin for the intelligence agencies. They had me brutalized from birth to toughen me up. They went too far, though. I got tough enough to solve my problems without violence. I have a fifty year track record of peaceful conflict resolution. I&#x27;m not a pacifist, it&#x27;s just the violence usually causes the next problem.</p><p>The last time I tried to &quot;do&quot;, rather than simply &quot;be&quot;, I tried to go to Liberia to get kidnapped by a warlord. I&#x27;m fully confident I could have talked my way out of that situation, but they wouldn&#x27;t sell me a ticket. I ended up bottoming out in South Africa, a country with 7x the US murder rate and a flourishing arms industry. Spent a month or two on the streets and in homeless shelters. I did fine. I generally get respect in proportion to how dangerous somebody actually is. I&#x27;ve known a lot of very, very dangerous people in my day. I&#x27;m one of those people who lives outside the law and follows his own moral code. I&#x27;m allowed to do any crime I want and I know I&#x27;ll never see the inside of a courtroom. I have a head full of state secrets that can never be spoken on any kind of formal record. I just don&#x27;t want to crime. I mastered that shit as a teenager. It&#x27;s why they were never able to entrap and enslave me. I just want a little life now. I spend my life drunk, and alone in a room.</p><p>So I&#x27;m pretty legendary among the world&#x27;s spooks. And, for some reason I haven&#x27;t figured out, Hollywood. That has something to do with role models, and the fact that atheists aren&#x27;t allowed to be one, at least until recently. Feel free to shed some light if you know. Monty Python&#x27;s &quot;Life of Brian&quot; was named after me, and Luke Skywalker&#x27;s vague hero&#x27;s journey was another projection of how my life might turn out. The Eric Cartman character is who Stone and Parker expected me to be--I was the onliest of only children, and raised by the whore the state used to neutralize my father--but I used to smoke weed with their drug dealer and they found out I&#x27;m a solidly decent guy. I pretty much only and always operate out of positive motivations, so they elevated Butters. I&#x27;m Butters.</p><p>Lately, there&#x27;s been a rash of entertainment inspired by me. The movie &quot;Nobody&quot; was so overtly about me it&#x27;s how I learned I inspire movies. I wrote half of that one and did the other half. Ryan Gosling seems to have taken a shine to me--&quot;The Grey Man&quot; and &quot;The Fall Guy&quot; are basically giant Easter Eggs about my life. Ryan Gosling is what I would look like if I was pretty. Really, I&#x27;m like the Kevin Spacey character from &#x27;American Beauty&#x27;. I test high for forgettability. It&#x27;s a useful trait in an assassin. I&#x27;m also dead silent when I walk. I recently accidentally snuck up on a pit bull and got bit. Ninja. Anyhoo, the Black Mirror episode &quot;Joan is Awful&quot; is about how I&#x27;ve been character assassinated. Hell, they even fictionalized my old girlfriend into a movie called &quot;Class Rank&quot;.</p><p>Every time they try to take me out and I come out on top, my legend grows. Last time, they had me hit by an SUV by fucking with the traffic lights. Multiple fractures of multiple vertebrate at both impact points, but I reacted like a stunt man and presented my back flat to the bumper. This way I didn&#x27;t torsion and didn&#x27;t suffer any nerve damage. I didn&#x27;t know about the traffic light thing yet, but I have good instincts in high stress situations and could tell it wasn&#x27;t the drunk kid&#x27;s fault, so I told her to get out of there before she got jammed up with the law. I just went home and sat still in a chair for a couple months. It knocked an inch and a half off my height, but I&#x27;m still walking.</p><p>These days I walk around in the center of a web of local and federal agents. I understand. I&#x27;m extremely dangerous. They literally don&#x27;t make people as dangerous as me any more. Clinton canceled the ninja program. I choose not to be dangerous, but they&#x27;re worried I might choose otherwise someday. What I chose was to be a scholar and a philosopher. I&#x27;m an autodidactic polymath who&#x27;s been at it for over forty years now. I&#x27;m hyperlexical and started reading Stephen King in second grade. I read &quot;The Executioner&#x27;s Song&quot; in fourth and &quot;The World According to Garp&quot; in fifth. I&#x27;m a little weak on the math based side of life because I need a teacher for that, but I did pass calculus without much effort. Twice.</p><p>I&#x27;m as close to Diogenes the Cynic as you&#x27;ll get for somebody who grew up with indoor plumbing. He&#x27;s the waybackest person of which I know that had it figured out.</p><p>Oh, and I know my way around a computer. I worked in tech three blocks South of Wall Street.</p><p>Oh yeah! I&#x27;m better at getting high than most people you&#x27;ll meet. I once took 1200 mics of old-school LSD 25 and rode it just fine.</p><p>This probably reads like crazy talk, but it&#x27;s all true. It&#x27;s who I am. It&#x27;s my identity, and sometimes I just have to sing out. I&#x27;m still not allowed any social support or validation. I&#x27;m not even allowed a therapist. Just rotgut vodka, qBittorrented movies, and some video games that I&#x27;m too old and drunk to play well. I have one autistic friend who helps me, and I read books over the phone to a blind Indian. That&#x27;s my life.</p><p>I miss women. I was good at love. I fall easily and am totally honest and open about it. I&#x27;m totally straight but gender-queer. I&#x27;d say I&#x27;m 55% yin to 45% yang.</p><p>For now I&#x27;m working on getting a cat. I want some goddamn thing to love. Wish me luck.</p><p>This guy also got the ninja childhood. His government did the same kind of shit to him as a kid that mine did to me. You can kinda tell he&#x27;s more than just a performer, he&#x27;s got real fire in his belly.

Smuteczek, ale uroki fediwersu pozwalają w takich sytuacjach iść naprzód, choćby bardziej &quot;od podstaw&quot;.</p><p>Krótko o mnie - gram na gitarze: postpunki (Sonda Kosmos - nowe konto także wkrótce się pojawi, muzyka - też wkrótce, ale pewnie chwilę później) i m.in. na gitarze, ale także na DYI synthach ambienty (<a href="/tags/wave555/" rel="tag">#WAVE555</a> - bez konta, za to z hashtagiem), mieszkam w default city, ale lubię podróżować (właśnie zjeździłem lubuskie wzdłuż i wszerz i było super), nie jem niczego co ma oczy i bardzo polecam ten styl życia.</p><p>Postaram się odtworzyć bazę obserwowanych, jeśli macie ochotę, obserwujcie też mnie. Mam nadzieję, że przygoda na tej instancji będzie bardziej stabilna. </p><p>Postaram się nie odtwarzać bazy wyciszonych/zbanowanych. ;)</p><p>Będę wdzięczny za retuty w celu odnowienia kontaktów.</p><p><a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a> <a href="/tags/polsocial/" rel="tag">#polsocial</a></p>

<p>Hi, I&#x27;m Adam. Just landed here following outage of the pol.social instance.</p><p>I&#x27;m playing guitar in a post-punk band Sonda Kosmos (new account to appear here soon as well) and making some ambient noises in <a href="/tags/wave555/" rel="tag">#WAVE555</a> project. Living in Warsaw, Poland, travelling a lot, plant-based.</p><p>My first goal here will be to reconstruct my following/followers base, as the migration is impossible due to the current circumstances (and very likely will not be possible in the future).</p><p><a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a> <a href="/tags/polsocial/" rel="tag">#polsocial</a></p>

<p>Hello Mastodon world. I&#x27;m re-activating here, I think my previous account is gone.</p><p>I&#x27;m Luis, an Illustrator from Portugal. I&#x27;ve worked for a long time in the games industry but now I just freelance.</p><p>I also like hand drums and miniatures.<br>Cheers! </p><p><a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a></p>

<p><a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#Introduction</a></p><p>Time for the mid-life crisis update:</p><p>I used to be the “walkable cities, bikes, cars are the villain” guy. Then I bought a high-miles 2007 FJ Cruiser and started spending more weekends on slow roads and at trailheads. I’ve rediscovered my love of machines and found a better way to fight for clean rivers.</p><p>What I’m building is Adventure Adjacent: field notes from a well-loved rig and a decent life. Stories, photos, and the kind of how-tos you actually use: airing down without drama, fixing the dumb little electrical gremlin, packing a first-aid kit you’ve opened before you need it.</p><p>A few things I believe, in plain English:</p><p>We don’t have to choose between joy and responsibility. Take your kids to the creek; leave it better than you found it.</p><p>The stuff we all rely on: road crews, search-and-rescue, libraries, clinics; doesn’t fund itself. If we use it, we should chip in. Time, money, or both.</p><p>Your neighbor with the lifted truck and your neighbor with the cargo bike probably want the same things: a paycheck that clears, a town that works, and a safe way home.</p><p>Strongman cosplay won’t fix a broken town or a broken sway-bar end link. Showing up for each other will.</p><p>I’m not here to sermonize or dunk but to be useful and tell good stories. If you’re new to dirt, start simple: go slow, carry water, torque your lugs, wave people through. If you’ve got a trail I should run—or a parking-lot win you’re proud of—tell me. If you’re stuck, I’ll bring the headlamp and a cross wrench.</p><p>More soon at <a href="https://adventureadjacent.com" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>adventureadjacent.com</a></p><p>Pic for attention</p>

<p>Hello everyone, I&#x27;m new to Mastodon.</p><p>I haven&#x27;t officially used mainstream social media apart from Discord. I&#x27;ve been a Lemmy user for some time and wanted to spread out to other Fediverse spaces. Mastodon feels way more polished and mature than I would&#x27;ve imagined. </p><p>I embrace FOSS apps and use them wherever I can in my daily life. I&#x27;ve been comfortably using Linux Mint for more than a year.</p><p>I also have experience working in web development and on my way to learning fullstack development with help of JavaScript. I also tend to selfhost things though they are a bit unreliable.</p><p>I also have interests in 3D animation, music and art. </p><p>I&#x27;m open to friendly chats!</p><p><a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#Introduction</a> <a href="/tags/new_here/" rel="tag">#new_here</a></p>
