"aswell" is a word i won't be convinced otherwise it's just too good and i'm gonna keep using it

even with my small amount of bitcoin, if 50% of the world was using it, i'd be rich (or fairly not-poor, by my own rough estimate) 📈 so i can understand the NGU mindset, though i continue to disagree with it 🤔 #bitcoin #BTC #NGU

not something i wanted to read this caturday! 😿 📝 e44bcbc2…

happy valentines day 💘

recently found out i am likely to be sick for over a month until i'm recovered 😿 i really can't be posting during this time, but wanted to let you all know i haven't died/been captured/abandoned nostr 🤒👍

share if you know someone to add 🙏🔃 📝 67782681…

i really hope that in 100 years, it will be just as common and just as serious to say "i believe in Free+Decentralized Software" as it is now to say "i believe in free speech" people are starting to understand, but only partly or for the wrong reasons (privacy, microslop, cost, etc) those are fine reasons, but the reason to support FOSS is above all that proprietary code means you are never free. privacy focused users might use the proprietary FUTO keyboard or the centralized Signal messenger - and remain unfree people who can't afford to upgrade their hardware to use the latest windows might switch to linux, but they will continue to use other proprietary/centralized software - and remain unfree some will even use a majority of Free+Decentralized Software but use proprietary and centralized software like Discord, Twitter(X), Facebook, etc "because that's where the majority of people/my family/friends are" - and EVERYONE remains unfree, as a direct result of their contribution to the network effect #FreeSoftware #FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #Decentralization #Decentralisation #FreedomTech #FreeDecentralizedSoftware

GM 🌞 i'm writing this at 12:00, so doing a bit better than yesterday 🕛 i always write these after i do my daily exercise, so i really woke up around 11:00 🏋️‍♀️ #GM #GoodMorning

are you committed to decentralization? for me, that means both being open to new freedom tech AND remaining ready to use existing ones i keep almost every decentralized/FOSS messaging app or my accounts on social medias if anyone ever says to me "do you use _?" i should always be able to say "yes" i won't contribute to the network effect of proprietary/centralized messengers like WhatsApp, Signal, Discord, or whichever other popular communication apps are in use i won't seek fame on the big social medias with millions of users and i WILL remain here on mastodon (or lemmy, or nostr, etc) 🫂 and i WILL be able to be reached on matrix (or XMPP, deltachat, etc) 💬 #FLOSS #FOSS #FreeSoftware #Decentralization #Decentralisation #FreedomTech

GM (or GA 😹) 🌞 you can tell how well i'm doing based on how early or late i'm posting these it's almost 15:00 for me now so i'm definitely glad it's a weekend i'm hoping to post these around 9:00 [chicago time] so i better get on a good schedule! #GM #GA #GoodMorning #GoodAfternoon

thinking of doing daily GM notes, thought? #AskNostr #GM

not going to lie, i'm about to finish a small book, and i'm so tempted to just read Atomic Habits again 📖🔂 it's just such a good book, i might even say it's my favourite 🌟 #AtomicHabits #FavoriteBook #FavouriteBook #Books #BookStr #Productivity #Reading

i decided that i'm going to try to work with my strengths 💪 that might sound intuitive, but i'm usually trying to fight my weaknesses 🤼‍♀️ don't get me wrong, i'll still work to improve myself 📈 but now i will try to min-max my efforts in life 🉐 if you are in water, it's better to swim that to try to walk on it. #SelfImprovement #Mentality

the majority of the things you will find in the FOSS world are just code, sometimes you'll find something greater like a protocol or an open standard, but this beats them all: an idea https://memdeklaro.github.io/ the idea that you are not verified by the place where you live or were born, but you are in fact who you say you are 🪪 please, please, PLEASE: read through this website 🙏 #DigitalID #FOSS #Sovereignty #Sovereign #FreedomTech

i wish people didn't put things in such inflammatory ways i get that you can be passionate about things, i'm passionate about free software but there is just no point in "trolling" or "fighting" especially here, where there is no algorithm

and how could i forget watching locally downloaded movies and shows with #jellyfin 📝 2959d109…

i'm grateful to rely on local FOSS tech during internet/mobile outages ❄️ it proves you don't need to reject smart tech, just reject dumb corporations when others couldn't turn on their cloud-controlled lights with alexa, i was still able to control my devices & lights through #HomeAssistant 💡 proprietary bible apps were not loading, but my offline downloaded copy worked the same as it always will ✝️ my notes/todo lists, project, and art files continued to sync across my devices, thanks to locally-hosted WebDAV, gitea, syncthing, and LocalSend 📁✅ my creation apps (libreoffice, krita, blender, neovim, etc) are _NEVER_ going to require an internet connection to work 🎨📝🛜 #SelfHosting #FOSS #SmartHome #FLOSS #FreeSoftware

with the winter storm taking out my wifi and mobile data recently, it got me thinking about offline activities specifically, whats your favourite board game nostr? #AskNostr maybe something classic like chess ♟️, or more exotic like D&D 🎲, perhaps a card game like uno or cribbage? 🃏 #BoardGames #BoardGame #Offline #WinterStorm #Ask #AskingNostr

reading social media has been depressing lately, due to all the current events 📰😿 looking outside IRL at all the beautiful snow is definitely the move ❄️🌨️😻 enjoy your weekends!
