I've been using this account as my primary for about a week now, and I'm think I'm settled on using it for the foreseeable future, so I guess it's time to do another post.

I'm a dad of four kids, and a web developer. I have a college degree in (or ) and had aspirations of being an actor. I kind of fell into web development as a career. It was a hobby back in high school, and I just needed to pay some bills after college, so I ended up doing this.

I always have aspirations to do other things, but for now, I'm pretty happy spending most of my time as a dad and husband.

Some day, I'd like to get back into , or maybe do some . I also enjoy and will, from time to time, post some , usually from somebody's .

I love , and usually watch at least one episode nearly every day. I like all really, though, as well as . I used to read a lot, but find I don't have as much time or mental capacity for it as I used to. I also enjoy watching , and have really been enjoying the new episodes of lately.

Feel free to follow me if you think we have similar interests, and I may follow you back, if I think likewise. 👋

I just saw some antisemitic Nazi apologetic disinformation on Twitter. I went to report the post, and in the dialog asking why I'm reporting it, "misinformation" or "disinformation" was not one of the options.

I could report it for hate, but the post doesn't actually use any slurs or anything like that, so I'm not sure it'll be taken down for that.

I know, I shouldn't be surprised that they don't care that there's disinformation on the site. After all, that spreads more than the actual truth.

I upgraded my @[email protected] desktop to 42 today, and it was probably the smoothest Fedora upgrade I've ever had. I often have to fix broken stuff after an upgrade, but didn't have any of that today. Everything worked as before, and the upgrade didn't even take that long.

Well, I told my elected official to protect public media, and not rescind the funds previously approved for it, I got this response from my Congressperson, Troy Nehls:

I appreciate learning of your policy concerns. Your input is critical in guiding me on how to best represent my constituents.

As you may know, H.R. 1216, the Defund Government Sponsored Propaganda Act, would prohibit federal funding for the National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) due to their partisan bias.

So, instead of telling me he understands how important funding is to the vital service that is public broadcasting, he told me about a separate bill that would defund public broadcasting "due to their partisan bias".

Uggghhhhh. I hate this world.
