#FamilyMan been married for >15 years and have two daughters. Those three girls are my greatest love on this planet.

I consider myself a #GNU Evangelist. Learning about what #FreeSoftware was, including GNU/Linux, opened my eyes to so many things: governments aren't the only ones stealing individual rights, I know so much less about computers than I thought I did, the idea of code, I can make a difference without having to know anyone particular.

I'm employed as contract Engineer in the Metal industry. My workplace is not yet unionized, but I'm hoping to fix that. #Union member of the #IWW IU440. I don't have an engineering degree. After discovering Free Software I took my political scientist butt and found a call center job that paid for me to go to Community College to study Software Engineering, where I learned that I liked the idea of coding a lot more than I liked coding. The blessings of God put some great opportunities in my lap at just the right time.

I'm a #Libertarian and have been for over 20 years. The love of libertarianism is what lead me to first to a BS in #political science and later to falling in love with Free Software. These days I lean toward the left side of the libertarian spectrum including being a member of the Libertarian #Socialist Caucus of the Libertarian Party (LSC-LP). Sometimes I call myself a #LibSoc.

I'm a huge #sports fan, but don't following any particular sport/team super closely. Lately I've been getting into #Cricket in addition to my other passions of Professional #Wrestling, Lower Division North American #Soccer, NHL & College #hockey, #baseball #olympics & #rugby (union and #RugbyLeauge). My whole life used to be American #Football, but now-a-days I can't stand it anymore than I can basketball.

I'm a #BornAgain #Christian, accepting #Jesus as my savior at age 9. Received #Believers Baptism at age 18. Received the baptism of the #HolySpirit as evident in speaking in #tougnes later that year. The #Spirit lead me to the #Catholic #Church at age 20 where I was confirmed at the Easter Vigil. I am a grateful believer in Jesus Christ in #recovery from lust. #XA #SA #CR Currently in the very early stages of discernment for joining the #Ecumenical order of #Fransicans (#OEF).

@abbadon420 @Flatworm7591 but pirates are anti-facist too.

At this point in history, I don't see any way that SCOTUS weighing in on this is going to be beneficial.

@Jean_le_Flambeur @Flatworm7591 maybe you should have voted for them.

The YouTube kids app is so incredibly useless in order to comply with government regulations that all our kids use our accounts. Which also sucks.

@RootBeerGuy @kia I know it costs a shit ton, and the only people who ever seem to read it are the other people quoting it, and its just as much bullshit as every other IP.

I CTRL+X CTRL+V we are not the same.

There's nowhere in the Bible that it says everything of the faith is contained in the bible. Though it does say that we should cling to tradition even if not written "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours." 2 Thessilonians 2:15

That being said, the Church usually points to Jesus as having instituted the sacrament of reconciliation here "Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” John 20:23

@JackGreenEarth @fossilesque it likely is not free as in freedom, but non-free, as in free beer.

More Pope Francis out of context please!

Is there an option to add to Z-lib?

@anytimesoon Why do you want some computer recommending music for you? Wouldn't you rather your friends and shit? #FunkWhale

why not just use am invidious instance like i.devol.it to access such content so as to eliminate the ads, eliminate the tracking, and encourage Free Software peeps to keep up the good work?

@DerWilliWonka @1337tux yeah, I'm guessing a lot, I didn't save the post, but I saw earlier this week some instances that were spun up brand new and in less than an hour had >5,000 users.

One of many reasons to recommend against allowing open sign-up on your instance. A lot htat have been around for longer, like lemmy.ca, require you to request an account, and answer some questions (like why do you want your accoutn on this particularl instance) and a real person clicks the check-mark button.

Some new users will be annoyed by such, but the truth is if they are annoyed by that, they probably aren't going to be good fedizens open to following good netiquette anyway.

@dessalines @1337tux but if they're bots they'd still count as active users assuming they aren't idle.

In the end, neither really matters, assuming the bots aren't causing you or your server trouble, like the thousands of posts taghing GNU SOCIAL users repeatedly a couple weeks ago. Could still be happening on instances with absantee admins. (like my original GNU SOCIAL account of @fu@2mb.social)

@PlanetOfOrd I think of it frequently

@jonsnothere @Dyskolos yeah, I just saw this when I searched for it aussieexotics.com/2009/08/05/b…

@awwwyissss @FlashMobOfOne if a cause is just it should be able to be taken care of voluntarily.

@FlashMobOfOne I agree with you on a personal level. If others want to volunteer to do such I think they have a right to, even if I would recommend against them personally exercising such a right.

@ByteOnBikes 100% of people die, so 100% of people who toke die.

@P4ulin_Kbana I'm a good parent. The kids are with us all the time, if they were doing something they weren't supposed to I'd know. Honestly, I tink I'd rather they be doing something nuferious than watching annoying kids videos, alas they prefer to watch the later too often watching other kids play scream and play with toys that we already bought that they never play with.

@3c906042e889f081619588980bcf1ebca6a5443022ad6dd8205aba269577212b by chance do you know the original source of this image? I think @Thanks4Nothing has a great idea. It could be a fundraiser to suppor the ongoing costs of sopuli.xyz

@Thanks4Nothing well share the link mate.

@Imprint9816 on my work laptop I do so by just connectint to our German office instead of the U.S. one

@blah thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look and I'll edit if I need to.

I threw up in my mouth a little

@n7gifmdn @seitanic @NoMoreBread @USSMojave @SleveMcDichael @dditty @Anxietea Whats with all the downvotes? Comment seems pretty on point and relatively main stream. Maybe if you are in outside of North America your economics have never led to this problem.

I would suspect no one is actually this tone deaf, in which case this is a funny joke. Then again, I did recently speak with a zoomer who wasn't familiar with what 9/11 referred to, if they are representative of their generation the idea of a tank to warsaw from berlin might not bring about imagery of Nazi occupations of Poland.

@realcaseyrollins @GizmoLion @1337tux @DerWilliWonka @TheAngryBad meaning you want to sell fedi accounts to capitalists?

@funkyb @Very_Bad_Janet @1337tux those who aren't willing to do so aren't likely to be good fedizens willing to practice netiquette.

@ArugulaZ excuse me?

@goatsarah @Coskii @True is there a particular case about the muppets I am unaware of?

@ArugulaZ oh that was my profile pic until earlier today. Did you mean Mr. Data rather than Mr. Putin?

@JackFromWisconsin @hare_ware yep we had the same after other events like #eternalseptember & #twittermigaration and will be the same with #redditMigration

@realcaseyrollins @GizmoLion @1337tux @DerWilliWonka @TheAngryBad if it's not a PUBLIC conversation of course you won't be able to see it on their server if you don't have an account on that server that is included in the private body (like Friendica's default of "friends only")

@GizmoLion @realcaseyrollins @1337tux @DerWilliWonka @TheAngryBad its not likely, but with how the Fediverse works its possible, whether slow federation between certain servers (for example I frequently will have posts Friendica tells me have posted to 130/135 servers within a minute but those last few can take days or never post at all) also you guys might not both see the same conversation based on who you've blocked, or been blocked by, etc. If you ever want to verify, you should be able to view it on their instance (on Kbin this is what is listed under MORE as LINK TO FEDIVERSE)

@DerWilliWonka @1337tux @TheAngryBad there are cetainly some who do it for the lulz, and there are some who probably do it as a way to encourage others to make security changes to the platform. Personally, I think it would be more useful to file issues via git, but what do I know, I'm just an old-timer who quit college after failing security class, and thereby losing my scholarship.
