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.

  • @generalemergency@lemmy.world we'll see. Wrestling is a lot different world now than it was in 1980s. I fell like in the 80s they destroyed the North American NWA territory system, and now they are trying to establish a global WWE Territory system. Only time will tell.

    The WCA report, Part Three: Leadership - Emerging Cricket

    The working party’s idea is the establishment of a Global Game Leadership Committee, with equal representation of national Boards, the franchise leagues, players and independents, as an interim step towards the goals it attempts to set.

    This sure sounds like the right thing to do to me. I know the suggestion to limit international tours to 84 calendar days a year is going to ruffle the feathers of traditionalists, but we need to look to the future. It works for soccer and it's the most successful sport on the planet. Cricket is already #2 with nearly 0 support outside of the commonwealth, just think how great the rest of the world would be if they new and loved cricket .

    the official WWE story is that AAA will not change at all, they love lucha libre as it is, and they’re simply going to give it a bigger platform. It was hard to believe WWE’s sincerity in that story,

    the official WWE story is that AAA will not change at all, they love lucha libre as it is, and they’re simply going to give it a bigger platform. It was hard to believe WWE’s sincerity in that story, but it was the right thing to say to avoid raising concern among the fanbase. Latin and Konnan are not used to having to stick with AAA’s message. The AAA structure gave them a lot of freedom to say whatever they wanted on their platforms, and WWE does not allow that freedom. Konnan’s YouTube video was made private a few hours later, suggesting he had learned a lesson about the new world we’re all living in.

  • @atrocity I think it depends on the car/tire.

  • @Fizz @meldrik in Free Software nothing ever "defeats the point" it just may not fit your particular use case. One of the advantages of Free Software is that it can be used by anyone for any reasons.

  • @jaggedcircle 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.

  • @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.

  • @asudox then again having a tool that is only used for sharing videos with immediate friends and family is fine too. Not everything needs to be focused on killling off a particular non-free software for it to have value in and of it self.

  • @asudox I love the idea of peertube. I have a couple of accounts. It used to be easier to load new content by URL when it supporfted input from YouTube, but YT has gone out of their way to maintain their virtual monoply. In order for such a service to be more useful than just sharing videos with your immediate friends and family you need a way for creaters to make money, which i think is going to be easier on #NOSTR . I think a better question is how do we make nostr useful for more than just bitcoinbois.

    If there is a better community for me to post this in please let me know prior to deleting this post.

    Do any of you use Ground.news? It's pretty great at finding multiple sources of information on the same topic and helping to compare biases. Sometime in the not-too-distant past they stopped including articles from RT.com. I'm not really sure why. I found it really helpful when people would post from the Russian government news agency and show them other sides of the story, or when they actually posted decent stuff, share it from something that isn't so often crap.
