   Time for #introductions.

   I'm Josh (Hove, UK 🇬🇧) and I use this handle basically everywhere. I am an unrepentant tinkerer and alternative-tech enthusiast (hardware, software, anywhere).

   I work writing bits, communicating and making memes - see some of this on the Mastodon handle of my employer: https://mastodon.social/@Mojeek

   I'm keen on doing what I can to help push back this growing tech dystopia. Currently reading Ben Tarnoff's Internet for the People with a reading group: https://leagueofconcernedusers.org/

     Updating this, myself and the Digital Capitalism Reading Group folks will be moving onto @danmcquillan's "Resisting AI
     An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence" (something I am very much into after Dan did the rounds of TMK/TrashFuture/TWSU)

     This RG convenes first on July 27th at 7pm BST; if you might wanna get involved in reading & discussing this topic monthly with mainly tech workers then please do DM me (the delightful @gaffen will be in attendance too).

     @privacydingus @danmcquillan @gaffen For those merely intrigued by the above, having attended a few times before I can say I cannot recommend this reading group enough: very relaxed, inclusive, chilled, warm vibe that seems to just attract the loveliest (and most interesting!) people.
