#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).

@Evkob @TechnoCat yep, that’s it. Well, save yesterday was the ides of march, so that’s why i posted it hen.
@Martineski @Tuuktuuk actually Nostr must federate it across the bridge, because you can connect your Pleroma account to a lightning wallet and then use the ⚡react to send/receive zaps (bitcoin microtransactions) over NOSTR.
@Martineski @Tuuktuuk I know Pleroma (and its derrivatives: Soapbox, Nicolium, Akkorma) have for many years now. Friendica recently added limited support. Nostr does, but I’m not sure if its federates across the bridge. I suspect Misskey does, but I’ve never actually used it. That’s all I can think of off-hand.

@cm0002 I have learned from persi experience adding a third monitor does not in fact fix this issue.
@purplemonkeymad here here
I mean Star Trek is certainly the best franchise when you include T.V. Movies, books, games, etc. But I would be willing to put Stargate SG-1 up against any particular Trek. TNG could probably beat it but it would be close.

@CombatWombat I grew up on an organic farm and my dad grew something like 18 different varieties. I assure you if there was such a thing as a good tomato I would have eaten it by now. I actuality all tomatoes are disgusting.
