#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).
@Stamets I’ll admit it looks cool, but leaving your clear Gameboy out in the sun was a bad idea.
@petrescatraian OK sure, but that doesn’t address the issue of Ground.news not wanting to include it. Maybe theRussian government asked them to?
It’s more imporant to use Free Software top to bottom.
I know this is pointing at percentages, but those numbers are still way off from whatever else I was just looking at earlier today. Like they had lemmy #2, Pixelfed #3 and loops, whatever the hell that is, at like #5. Here on the best Fedi platform, friendica, they said there were just over 2,000 active users, making loops already at 6 times larger than us. I still think we need to get ready because someday the facebook migration will come and boy howdy.
@michael thanks! the image itself gave me 0 idea what you where talking about.
@lukewarm_ozone I hope you actually did that math.
@petrescatraian I suspect they can’t see it on lemmy, but I for one appreciate that you have your location here set as “not sent from my iPhone(because I don’t have one)”
@petrescatraian @Sunshine oh wow, it’s even on F-DroidLooking at that I see why as a big fat GNU+Linux nerd who doesn’t go outside unless their is a dire emergency I would never have heard of it. 😉

@SelfProgrammed well sure, but my way is funnier 😉
@fool so it’s racist because we of Asian descent tend to eat rice? Are other Asians asking automobile enthusiasts not to use this or is it basic white girl stuff?
@fool wait, how is this racist?
@petrescatraian @Buffalox @Cephalotrocity
No
t a singlestate isfullymoral.
there I fixed it for you.
Sometimes the most immoral choices are the right thing to do to achieve a just cause.
this is the most bat shit crazy thing I have ever heard. Two wrongs never make a right mate.
@Cephalotrocity you are incorrect. The market has decided that it is not right nor just or they would have volunteers. Russia also is not right nor just. War is a racket.
@LaFinlandia I love the kids in the slipknot shirt!
