I like to think I'm a student of life. I spend my time learning more about electronics. Also math, python, LaTeX, dataviz, biking, photography, & dogs. #nobot

@nolan I read a book called the "Jesus Mysteries" 20 something years ago. I particularly enjoyed the authors weaving similarities across cultures and their analysis of hidden meanings in those stories.

@Jgbird absolutely stunning shot. I love the depth of field!
@dansup the grief I felt after losing my dog completely destabilized my life. He was my child and it crushed me. The resulting depression is still something that I'm working through years later as is the notion of what is important to focus on in my life.

Anyway, have you tried the library?

It is an important step towards the comprehensive consumer data privacy legislation that we need to protect us from corporations that place their profits ahead of our privacy.The bill, introduced on...

@[email protected] fyi mastodon is licensed under AGPL from FSF. Sometimes we realize we've used great software built by a whole community and we have a desire to create something to share.

The whole idea may be naive and easily abused but the purity of the action transcends beyond capitalism.

@[email protected] maybe I'm just tired, but I don't quite understand how GPL impedes freedoms when the whole point is to share and enforcement that improvements are also shared. Whether that is enforced or not is a different issue.

I haven't heard anything about GitHub linked with ICE. I have no idea what programmer you're talking about.
