#FamilyMan been married for >14 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).
@lemmyreader I’ve seen this joke before, but I suspect it was more likely the original as it was stackoverflow which devs actually use. Posting crap like that on Reddit is only for normies who want to pretend they are devs.

@linux because I trust the Debian model
@linux what’s wrong with just using whatever browser is in your repo?
@OptimusPrime @linux by weasling my way into an engineering job with a degree in political science by claiming voluteer experience on my resume as a “Free Software Developer” & then listing every project that i has contributed bto by commenting on their forum at least once
@OptimusPrime @_ed yep! The vast majority of free software has been written by paid workers.
@OptimusPrime I assure you it is not just kids.
@AgreeableLandscape Sounds like it worked exactly how it is supposed to. Customers that complained on the internet wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do so if they were a black out due to overloading the grid.
@yogthos national sovereignty is. BS anyway. States are no friend of the working class. The turmoil will continue until we unite as a class against the bosses across imaginary lines used to control peope.
