Thanks to everyone who boosted my goose picture. It's 140 boosts so far. I don't think I've ever gotten above 10 boosts before this picture. Very cool to see Mastodon's power of sharing.

Got this shot while fishing this morning. I'm really happy with it. Not bad for a quick phone shot.

I tried the Oobli iced teas. I did not like that at all. Probably the first iced tea in my life I hated. Didn't even finish them.

Have I recommended Thomas's Croissant bread? It's amazing!

So tired of the grey and rainy days. I know we need it and all that. But it's far from good for my brain.

Running in a 5K race in Washington DC. To raise awareness for skin, cancer and melanoma.

I see this a lot on the mobile apps while browsing my feed (images not fully loaded). Is there any way to improve this? I'm not scrolling that quickly. I would assume the apps would start loading the images before I get to them.

Also, why don't more apps just load the posts instead of making me click the "load more" button. Or let me turn it on in the settings.

Watching this in honor of today.

One of my favorite things to do is make a glass of water, put a few icecubes in it. Leave it on the table, forget about it, then come back into the room just after the last icecube has melted. Then down the whole perfectly cold glass of water.

If I'm a good father, my kids will need me less and less, but know I love them fully and will also be here for them. If I'm a good husband, my wife will love me more and more as the kids start to move on.

I also realize, I am influencing my kids choices less and less as they get older, and I'm cool with that. All I can do now, is know that I have loved and supported them from the start and always will, no matter what. Where they go from here, is becoming all them.

A new day and a new profile pic.

Well today was a nice big success bringing my son to work with me today. He got to do his school remotely from here and also got to see a lot of what we do and got to watch our Boss laser cut out some name tags for him. He got to watch me do some design work, designing some brackets for retaining some USB and HDMI cables.

@xenodium an invite code would be amazing!

Fred, to telegram
@Fred@allthingstech.social avatar

We use Telegram for our family messaging. Mainly because it works well between Android and iOS. How secure are our conversations? I've read the privacy policy some. I know Signal is more secure but is Telegram secure enough?

I prefer all the features of Telegram, plus I would need to convince my entire Family & Friends group to make the switch. Any rational, kind thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks for the recommendation @cliffwade I made the switch to ProtonMail over the past couple weeks. The switch was very easy and I'm all switched. @protonprivacy

Does anyone out there have any Arc browser for Windows invites?

Thankfully our two pups are getting along great. I was a little worried Chewy would be upset or fussy with Luna. He was, for the first few days, but now they are best buds.
