👋 #introductions

I'm a software developer living in a haunted mansion in Chicago. I'm originally from Silicon Valley, a fact that I am both proud and ashamed of.

My pronouns are he/him/his; my website is evanhahn.com; my musical taste is embarrassing.

My #Chicago transit bot is live! Check out @ChicagoCTA for a flurry of transit alerts.

"Whether you followed along with a news outlet’s livestream or liveblog, watched the event on cable news, or relied on Twitter to curate a highlight reel, your experience was mediated and shaped by the filter bubbles that dictate whose opinions you see when you read things on the web. Where some see sober, science-backed credibility, other see a circus."

@alex I noticed that the link to jawns.club is messed up in the bigshoulders.city description in this paragraph:

"Boundless credit to our sister instances in Portland and Philadelphia for inspiration."

It links to "https://bigshoulders.city/:https://jawns.club%22", which seems wrong. I assume there's an HTML mistake somewhere.

It's like Y2K but only for Japan and a much smaller risk! #Unicode http://blog.unicode.org/2018/09/new-japanese-era.html

@cocoron sorry to @ you out of the blue, but I have a question.

If you had thousands of dollars to donate to climate change causes, how would you spend it? I'm pretty ignorant about what methods are effective and wondered if you might know more.

Just uninstalled Flash and I feel good

Does anyone have a good setup for ctags? I've tried a bunch of stuff and I've failed every time. Part of it is due to a lack of understanding, frankly, but part of it seems to be poor plugin support.

Have you convinced anyone to join Mastodon? If so, how?
