Interesting and challenging at the same time. I was reading about #learning in a paper on #gametheorymodels and felt “what? Is this about learning at all?” Pause to remain open minded and compare different #learningtheories As such, adversarial collaborations could help to remain a #lifelonglearner myself. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01379-3
Never stop learning, even if it's unconventional. #LifelongLearner
Just followed a bunch of @tilvids #peertube accounts, tired of the herd #youtube links in my timeline; they're personal educational accounts. Let's see how this goes. #lifelongLearner
I forgot to add some other hobbies and topics I like!
I am also a #photographer who shoots #Fujifilm #XT5 mirrorless and Canon compact camera.
I love #ContentCreators , #Videography , and #WebDesign too. I try to avoid using Adobe products and use Perpetual or Life Time Deal licences.
***
I also like #FOSS, #OpenSource, #SelfHost, and learn #WebDesign.
I am against #GenAI. But I am interested in #EthicalAI and #AIforGood #AIforA11y.
Thanks to what happened to Twitter and increased costs of SaaS, I became interested in #Decentralized #SelfHosted #HomeLab stuff.
****
I am a #LifeLongLearner who is interested in #AdultEducation and #A11yInEducation.
Another hobby I hope to return to is #Blogging and #ProcreateArt / #DigitalDrawing.

I listen to almost any music genre except classics, hardcore heavy metal rock, and some raps.
But I love #FolkMusic, #IndieMusic, #ElectricMusic, and #EDM.
My favourite #ElectricDanceMusic are #Psytrance, #Trance, #Techno, #Hardstyle, and #House. I like #raves. Mostly undergrounds or bush parties.
It’s been two years today since I arrived here, and better late than never, here’s an #introduction post.
I have been Marence since Usenet and Freenet days. I remember #retrotech when it was new tech. I have been a server, civil servant, mechanic, painter, technician, costumer, hardware & software instructor, spfx makeup artist, actor, crafter, torch singer, videographer, author, composer, and filmmaker.

Feeling unduly proud of having changed the blade on the lawnmower today.
In my defense, the heavy-on-the-humanities education I enjoyed did not cover anything along those lines. So I'm marking this down as a success for the lifelong learner thing.
Discipleship is lifelong learning. Embrace challenges, ask questions, & don't be afraid to grow deeper in your faith. Seek truth & allow God to transform your heart & mind. #LifelongLearner #DiscipleshipIsGrowth
Hurrah! I've been offered a place for this year at Charles Sturt University for the Graduate Certificate in Digital Archiving. Who knows where it may lead. Maybe it will sit nicely next to my Graduate Certificate in Archaeology! #ContinualLearning #Data #Governance #CSU #LifelongLearner
Why do I enjoy social media (previously twitter, now Mastodon)?
TL;DR:
I love to learn new things, &
I'm dyslexic.
Micro blogging (remember when this kind of thing was called microblogging?) lets me serendipitously interact with many fragments, of different sorts, in a crazy stream-of-consciousness flow:
word-play, arcane facts, news, philosophy, memoirs, film & book recommendations, recipes, microfiction, art.
It's idea porn.
Long live #IdeaSex!
Late to the party, but no less curious. #LifeLongLearner
In 2024, I'm shifting to #nonfiction both #books and #television. Going for an ~80/20 nonfic/fic split.
Why? My free time is valuable to me and for me, if I'm not learning, I feel like something's missing.
Sure, you can learn from fiction, but it's often a different kind, a different focus. In 2023, I read 57 works, only 16 were non-fic, (28%). For me, that's much too low.

Gestern, 29. Nov., wurde in Brüssel im Rahmen der Lifelong Learning Week der Leitfaden und die Toolbox für einen gesamtschulischen Ansatz zur Politischen Bildung "Demokratie in der Schule." vorgestellt. Im Bild sieht man MEP Hannes Heide, der uns bei der Präsentation besucht hat.

Despite the occasional surprise, curiosity is the spark of my psychology studies. It's the dance of learning - sometimes you step on a toe! #Blind #Disability #LifelongLearner
In recent years, I have met many high schoolers planning to enter #IT because they want to become #AI practitioners. I have some advice and admonitions for them:
• You can call any AI framework API without a foundation in #mathematics, but you will not understand what your code is doing without at least a preliminary knowledge of undergrad-level linear algebra.
• You can implement fancy AI applications without formal training in mathematics, but you will not be able to analyse and design learning algorithms without a solid foundation in linear algebra, probability, statistics, multivariate calculus, and variational calculus, at the very least. And basic knowledge of abstract algebra, digital signal processing, neuroscience, and cognitive psychology will always come in handy.
• When, in a not-so-distant future, quantum computers become practicable, AI applications will move to that platform. Then, you will not even be able to read a programme without a solid grasp of quantum mechanics, in addition to the above mentioned foundational knowledge.
• It is true that you can get a decent entry-level job in IT without higher education, but you will not progress far as a technologist.
• Sure, you can "move up" to a middle manager (pronounced "middle meddler") role, but even on the management mound, you will not reach the peak without at least an MBA.
• You can, of course, start your own company but there, too, you must continually educate yourself about technology, accounting, business, economy, management, regulatory compliance, etc., for the rest of your career.
The bottom line, kids—become a #LifelongLearner, whatever the path you take.
