Ah Ricketts you will regret those words. Add them to the list

We need food, water, housing, electricity, and more handled by trustworthy people and non-profits

We need more Matrix and Stoat communities!! So we all get pinged on when it is so we all mobilize at same time. Having coordination on food, housing, etc too to keep each other going as well

Protesting is good way to connect with others next step is get things done together!! The more of us that are brainstorming, strategizing, and taking action the stronger we all are!!

Kowalski, status report, what is Linux marketshare at currently?

All good we got this. Whatever person we get on is a huge thing to the movement. Also stay well Buller!

facts also OP please get other indie game studio people to bring their communities in too. Growing Indie Game studios presence would help grow this place in near and long term for Lemmy/Piefed

Everyone remember to keep getting more people onto Piefed and Lemmy (Voyager for Lemmy) along with Session, Signal, XMPP, Mastodon, Stoat, Pixelfed, etc etc. The more of us on here the better

Alright everyone. To anyone checking in to this please we must push the open source community-run operating systems, social media, apps, and web apps for people to switch to. Tell them to get others on board too after they get comfy

Online and in-person we must keep switching people over!! The less people on those corpo ones the better!!

To make it easier tell people to use legacy social media and people social media until people social media has a big enough audience of people using them

Please do not scroll away we must all keep getting people to move. Many of us are but the more the better!!

More!! More! Everybody get others into Linux Mint and Pop OS Cosmic as well!! I am doing my part if we want better we must grow the community

Was going to go into just Rust and GDScript more but you what I am going to go into Python now too. Massive respect to them

I'm here proud of everyones growth arc. Good on you all!!

I used to be like that too but have grown out of it for years now. Main focus besides getting into Software Engineer, Linux, Open Source, and making Fangames is looking to make friends/community now with plenty of all kinds of people from all over the world for all kinds of interests.

My Origin Story could not be any closer to what a villain would have gone through to become what they are now. Yet I still made the realization that they just didn't want me as part of their family and not everyone are like them. I shortened it a huge amount removing a lot more but gave a good rundown on some core stuff of what happened and how it changed me:

I was the definition of a person trapped inside and never learning how to be a person much less a human being. Think Tarzan but indoors and if he was treated like a maximum security prisoner since he was a kid just for being a completely misunderstood child nobody wanted. As I grew older I was treated like garbage by being blamed for a lot out of misunderstandings, little bad things turned into humongous problems, good things done flipped as a bad thing, and nothing at all turned into something. Resulting in solitary confinement up to adulthood. By then I believed you had to be a complete non-listening badass asshole that will get anything they want by being like that including getting women.

I was never taught how to speak to others and was never listened to by older family members who just never wanted to hear me out at all. So I did the same to others. They value money as a hierarchy for who gets treated well. So I did the same to others even though I had none just to feel better about being at the bottom of the totem pole.

Outcasting me from everybody else in the family because they thought I would cause harm when really I was staring at people because I wanted to interact/play/have fun with them. Just like that one kid spirit from Dandadan. Then just like Gaara from Naruto you accidentally broke a persons arm and then everyone fears you and what you will do.

Mother, Brother, and Father not wanting me only caring for me because they have to not because they wanted to. My separated parents both wanting daughters instead of a son. Brother surveillancing me since he hated me so I searched all kinds of things just to mess with him for decades. No grandparents. No role models. Like being stuck inside with multiple snakes that keep biting you and filling you with venom turning you into the monster they want you/ believe you to be over the years.

Hate to admit it but I almost became a complete villain. I truly thought for so many years everyone was garbage fake selfish trash from elementary school up to mid-20's. Where everything was handed to you by being worse than everybody else. But I realized with the internet of all things overtime that it was just my family who have their own trauma that they inflicted on me and that there are many awesome people out there just by being themselves who want to have fun with others. Not everyone was like them. It was such a huge thing to realize. The thing that sucks is I do have decades of not living life since I was inside all the time gaining multiple Complex PTSD's surviving my own family. That is a lot of catching up to do but it has made me who I am today. That I am super proud of and glad I get to have opportunities to make life better for all of us. Treating others like people and being treated like one as well which feels very new to me since I thought everyone was faking being kind.

Now the Good Part:

One thing I have come to realize now is how important what you surround yourself with transforms who you are consciously and subconsiously overtime. If anyone truly wants to change their own life then take note of everything in your life and then choose to change all of it that is not working or bad. Do not be around shitty people. Do not consume complete brain rot. Do not sit so much because it makes you lazy or at least do asian squats as that is a healthy default. Do not let others say who you are but do tell yourself who you are with affirmations.

Do care about people who will actually appreciate it and they will do the same. Do treat and love a woman like a person and she will love you as a person and as a man. Do therapy in multiple ways to see what works for you since there are all kinds of ways to do that are also free and low-cost. Do seek out community not just in-person but online too to be helpful. Do fulfill that need to belong but also leave room for others to belong as well. Do listen genuinely to others and go deeper on what gets them to wake up every day. Do love life and the ability to enjoy this planet with everybody else. That is the ultimate gift not having to be alone on this planet

Note: You want a woman/women then become your best self for you not influenced negatively by others and be someone that the community and your interest groups can be proud of.
