I guess I’m “middle aged” now even though I still feel like I’m 25 inside my brain. I’m a life long techie and geek that used to be a Systems Engineer for the Bass Pro Shops and Cabelas websites.

I wish people would stop calling those toxic self-identified “gamers” as gamers because it’s clear they don’t even like video games.

If they did, they would actually play video games instead of hating on the developers who make them and harassing their families.

Call these people for what they are: right wing extremists. And they’re doing what right wing extremists have always done, which is attack creators that make art and culture.

@atomicpoet I’ll stay over here happily playing through my various games. 😅

I'll say it again:
Zionists = the absolute 99.999 percent of Jews.
If you try and make that difference, because you know a few American or European Jews or even are so yourself - you are giving into tokenizing Jews.
You can separate black people from the organisation of BLM, you can also say that some black people don't believe that black lives matter at all. But you can not say that black people (in west) and the BLM movement are completely separate.
Stop tokenizing Jews and all minorities.

As an admin of a small Fediverse server, I might as well talk about my approach to federation.

Generally, I defederate servers that I observe to engage in illegal or harassing behaviour. And I say observe because I don’t blindly trust blocklists. Sometimes a server may wind up on a blocklist, address the problem that caused it to be on that blocklist, and yet still remain on that blocklist.

I generally don’t receive terrible content on my server because I am the most active user here, I follow a small amount of people, and I only follow folks who’ve built a relationship of trust with me.

That said, I can’t predict when someone will do something illegal. Hence why I don’t allow anyone to view this server’s remote profiles and timelines unless you’re logged in. Since only two people, including me, have accounts on atomicpoet.org, remote profiles and timelines have been hidden from public view.

If someone engages in untoward behaviour, my policy is as follows:

  1. Alert the offender, ask them to change their ways
  2. If that doesn’t work, alert the server admin, and see if this results in change
  3. If that doesn’t work, defederate

Funny enough, when I reach step 2, the admin often defederates me before I defederate them. This saves me work.

Finally, I don’t mention why I defederate a server. I don’t frankly need a reason to defederate. My reasons are my reasons.

What are your true opinions and thoughts on marriage?

Just for fun, this is a photo from my wedding day (ignore the reflection of my phone lol) I was all of 21.

@gatewayy@mastodon.gatewayy.net avatar

@RickiTarr I loved my Wife absolutely and I loved our marriage for the short three years we had together before she passed on to whatever awaits us all. On the plus side we had nine years total to learn about each other and fall in love. I know it’s not for everyone but it worked out for me.

Today's theme is Normal!

You can take this test to see how "Normal" you are, and also how radically left wing you are! LOL Please share the results if you feel like it, or do nothing at all, because it really doesn't matter!

Welp removing Apollo from my Dock was a lot more difficult in the feels than I anticipated. I also have some Apollo merch coming now that I kept meaning to get but always got distracted from that helps ease the feels some.

I didn't anticipate mourning an App like this, I know this is a total First World Problem but Apollo really was a large part of my daily routine that I was not cognizant of. 🙃🤷🏻‍♂️

@littlesnitch I am guessing that you already know about this but Little Snitch's network filter does not work as intended once you install the Sonoma Beta. With the network filter enabled you have zero connectivity outside of localhost so that is less than ideal. :)

Looks like my Wordpress sites got hit with a login botnet. Turns out when Cloudflare upgraded their WAF it disabled all the rules til I logged in and looked at my WAF settings. I have so many lockout emails to wade through now

If you use CF please login in and check your WAF settings. :)

Having not really liked the last two or so albums I am enjoying their latest one. It's more of the original sound I enjoyed in my teenage years. Oh, and they finally miced the drums correctly! ><
