#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).

2·4 days agoI’ve come to decide I don’t care if things are a work or a shoot, wrestling is more fun if I just believe everything is real.
@BowserBasher @GeekFTW I had that conversation with the Mrs. The day before “if she was going to be a surprise at the rumble that’s exactly what I would say”
@HybridSarcasm @GeekFTW I mean they have a huge roster that goes untelevised.
@GeekFTW as long as she doesn’t come to TNA I’m fine. 😀
@GeekFTW its such a change of pace from the VKM days when we had 0 idea what matches, if any, would be on T.V. later that night.
@GeekFTW that’s an oldie but goodie. #WWEhallofFamerDonaldTrump
@GeekFTW I have to admit, watching Bluey with the kids helps.
2·8 days ago@jagged_circle sorry the entire decentralized NOSTR interface is based on the lightning network. So while most clients support “likes” what it more prevalent is “Zaps” a Zap is a micropayment of bitcoin over the lightning network (one zap is equal to one Satoshi equivalent to 100 millionth of a bitcoin). This incentivizes both the infrastructure and the content. Make something people like, get paid without a central corporation exploiting.
1·8 days ago@onlinepersona I will admit that the search feature in GNU Mailman could use an upgrade on its archive search.
I actually get all of my mail list posts right here in Friendica as I use kill-the-newsletter to subscribe and “friend” the RSS so post just show in my social media feed the same as Mastodon Toots and Lemmy Posts, so they don’t overcrowd my email inbox.
@onlinepersona no, it was definitely Discord, and he definitely was of the opinion that it was easier to find old discussions in Discord than email.
We recently had a guy try to get our local GNU/Linux User Group to move our communication to Discord because he found email too difficult.
@Stamets I’ll admit it looks cool, but leaving your clear Gameboy out in the sun was a bad idea.
2·9 days ago@HuntressHimbo as long as we agree both genocides are awful, and centrists fuck themselves by trying to support genocide.
@dance_ninja with Dugan running as an independent it will certainly be an interesting election.
@HuntressHimbo @Telodzrum are you referring to abortion or Gaza?
@Brain @GeekFTW say his name and he appears!
