Refugee from Nerdica, Pluspora and Google+ looking to reconnect

I don't have much luck with social networks, do I? I used to be mcv@nerdica.net, but nerdica seems to be quite thoroughly dead. Database is corrupt, and nothing can be recovered.

So that means I lost all my posts, comments, contacts, followers, and my place in the Fediverse. I'm trying to cobble things together, so if you recognise me, or even if you don't, please reach out and reconnect. I used to be on #Nerdica , #pluspora and I'm even a #googleplusrefugee.

So I'm not #newhere in the Fediverse, but I am new at this server. I run a #shadowrun #rpg #ttrpg campaign, occasionally post about a #boardgame I played, especially #18xx #railroad games, but also many others. I'm a #programmer , and I'm pretty sure I was also connected to a bunch of people in the #opensource #software world. I'm also interested in #tech, #science, and #computers in general.

I'm also occasionally interested in discussions of #politics, especially of the #leftwing #liberal #green and/or #libertariansocialism kind, though I'm not overly dogmatic on any of them. I #bicycle regularly, use #linux, and after all these social media servers I lost, I'm considering running my own #friendica server. I might even be nuts enough to try to write my own #fediverse software, which would probably end up much like Friendica (or #Diapora, or Google+), but not in PHP.

I'm probably forgetting a bunch of stuff, but I hope this post will help me reconstruct and reconnect what I lost.

Around 1995 my uncle showed me an #AI that could successfully guess what a user was thinking about within a particular category, similar to the game 20 questions.

My uncle's name was Alan Woodhouse, a 156 IQ computer #programmer who worked for what was then called the #Wellcome Foundation.

Unfortunately Alan is no longer alive so I am no longer able to converse with him, but I wanted to mention that the kind of AI that is now being made available #online in the public domain existed in 1995 if not earlier.

Unless there has been little to no AI #development since 1995, it seems obvious that what we're seeing in the public domain is at least 30 years behind where the cutting edge of #covert AI development truly is.

My 20 Year Career is Technical Debt or Deprecated

Source: https://blog.visionarycto.com/p/my-20-year-career-is-technical-debt

Technical debt is easily the most used buzzword these days. People say, ā€œWe are moving fast on our MVP while minimizing technical debt!ā€. They mention technical debt in there to sound cool or something.

I just laugh because everything is technical debt, eventually.
