Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

@starryuwu@ohai.social @duanegran I don't know where the "Selling a cake to a gay person is participating in the marriage" came from... as I understand it, one of the right's ideas on this is that people should be able to refuse creative service, if they have a reason to based on their religion
Well Mega Man's GSP went down pretty quickly after that, but I'm not at the point where that matters to me yet :)
@Hyper@discuss.smash.today
@citrus_marine It wasn't until I started going to Smash competitions that I realized how much the CPU fighters were messing me up.
I'm still pretty low-level at the game, but I managed to get one of the characters I play in #SmashBros, Mega Man, to 9 million GSP. It ain't much, but I'm pleased about it 🙃

@PedestrianError @danhon none of these announcements should have been disseminated through a proprietary platform anyways. Public announcements should use public infrastructure.

Spent the day with my youngest daughter mountain biking. Th first time since I cracked my rib and her first time riding a mtb trail. We both had a good time and it feels good to be alive. "Remember today little brother, for today life is good!". Returning home for a hot shower and bed.
@Aslanmane That's awful. Makes the Internet worse for everyone, ultimately.

Microsoft wants to stream your OS to you. Ignoring the whole "Microsoft" angle on this, I personally hate this idea. I miss the days when a computer was a standalone device that COULD connect to the Internet, but didn't have to. These days, so many things DEPEND on having that connection, and just flat out won't work without it. Maybe I'm a stodgy old guy, but can't we go back? I want my computer to with exactly the same online or offline.

I love 'what every coder should know about' writeups.

@penryu I hope Zuck makes Elon kiss a printout of the ActivityPub spec
I'm considering switching from the #WorldWideWeb to #geminiSpace on my Internet server (golemwire.com). Web technologies are pretty messed up IMO, and gemini looks like a pretty solid alternative (for simpler purposes anyhow, like for what my webserver does).
@imjms737 There's something in his videos for everyone.

@Darkasvim As the saying goes, 'You'd have to pay me to make me use Windows. Oh wait, you do..."
