Hey! This is my #introduction post.

I'm a comic book writer in the #UK, making Cyberpunk and Space Opera #comics with my wife - illustrator, Jennie Gyllblad. (And our faithful #dog, who QAs every page via sniffing.)

I'm interested in #scifi and #fantasy (obviously), but I'm also into #videogames, #basketball, #books, and #wrestling.

I'm also a #vegan #taoist but try not to hold that against me...

Comic book art for Red Fan - a Cyberpunk comic about Global Transhumanism - and By Man and Angels - a Space Opera. In Red Fan, a woman smokes, while another woman with pink eyes sits in a chair with some guards approaching her. In By Man and Angels, a priestess stands in front of a window into space, an alien plays a saxophone, and a wolf and a god fall through a dream.

Never did the #introduction thing, so here goes:

I work in #healthcareIT & on the side I run a family #farming operation
There are 4 small versions of me @ home but when they do something I disapprove of, I reclassify them as tiny versions of my wife
I enjoy tinkering w/computer hardware, software, #linux, & #opensource. If I can use #python to solve a problem, I'm in my happy place
I help coach 5th grade #basketball, & am one of appx 7 ppl on the fediverse who follows the MN #Timberwolves

Video games, LeBron James, tattoos, and copyright law, in one story? The internet is really spoiling us today. @polygon reports on a long-drawn-out case in which tattoo artist Jimmy Hayden is suing Take-Two Interactive Software, makers of the NBA 2K video games, over the use of tattoos he made for LeBron James that were reproduced in games from 2016 to 2020. Hayden's attorney argues that Take-Two "painstakingly copied" the designs. Take-Two's team says that James' tattoos are a very small part of NBA 2K, and that James has licensed his own likeness to Take-Two, so a ruling in favor of Hayden would mean James would have to ask Hayden for permission to license his own being. Here are all the details, plus background on other cases in which tattoo artists have sued video game companies. What do you think?

82% The tattoos are on LeBron, so LeBron owns them

Really happy to see such a high profile (and extremely religious) women’s basketball coach reflexively and confidently answer “yes” to this attempted gotcha question

which Judge got paid to turn tv stations and sports leagues into bookies?

that there is no way to audit the software these #sports #leagues are using to fleece bettors is absolutely criminal.

this is what happens with the corruption of #cartelization. mafias aren't just some guys in Jersey eating pasta. it's industries, sports, political parties: parts of a culture that you didn't think would become cartels are now acting as so, loud and proud.

i hate it.

Now that I'm set up here on #hachyderm, time for another #introduction post!

Hi, I'm Dorian! I like to make #software, eat #tacos, and watch #basketball.

I live in a beautiful place with a terrible government: #Austin, #Texas.

I just started a new job on the #frontend infrastructure team at Webflow. Our first project is to migrate several million lines of flow to #typescript, which should be a fun challenge.

I'm also a big fan of #urbanism, with a special soft spot for #ebikes!

👋

Hi! I'm Mathias, a Chemist in the field of solar fuels (at the moment) and energy conversion. But I'm also super interested in game studies and videogames in general, with an unhealthy obsession with JRPGs. I also love basketball and watch anything from second tier German league ProA to NBA. I also play bass in Iron Kobra, an obscure Heavy Metal band. Tröt! #HeavyMetal #SolarFuels #VideoGames #JRPGs #ProABaby #basketball #chemistry #chemiverse

I guess I’ll write an #introducton post.

I’m here like many people escaping Twitter. I’m hoping there’s a mass influx. I mostly use social media as a way to curate my interests.

I’m an IT Product Manager living in the US Midwest. I’m into women’s #basketball, American #football, and #technology in general. I’m a stereotypical US dad coaching my kids sports teams

A 2nd #introduction is needed:

I'm Victor, Clinical Data Scientist researching in #AI applied to medicine.

Although AI is something that interests me from many aspects (technical, mathematical and critical) I do not limit myself to write only about this as I have many other interests (#opensource, #python, #SocialJustice, #diversity, #books, #comics, #basketball, etc.).

Also, I speak SP, EN, DE & FR

Looking forward to interact with the Dair-community.
