@savjee I enjoyed the video you put together explaining Mastodon and the Fediverse, I pass it along from time to time to boost adoption. Thanks!

My grandmother is such a Hobbit! She's had to be quarantined to her quarters, because several of her caretakers came down with Covid, and she has been getting healthier in almost every measurable way. She likes friends, but lived alone for 17 years. Such a strong independent woman!

How are y'all doing? I'm feeling a little down right now, mostly because a lot of people seem to be being very ugly to one another. There is no grace, understanding, or wisdom to be found in their speech. I urge you to be better than that! Don't live in an echo chamber and don't believe everything you read. Be quick to listen, slow to anger, and slow to speak. Even though we are all pretty much strangers don't we all want to live a life of freedom, in peace, with the love of others?

Well, it was pretty before they tore it out...

@mkwadee You say you're into math, maybe you can help me visualize what's going on in this optimization?

A friend's daughter was attacked today by a group of protesters in Denver. She was in her work truck just trying to go to work. Anyone who actually cared about justice or others wouldn't do something like that. #georgefloyd

@daniel Nevermind, scrubbed until Saturday.

Anyone tuned in to the SpaceX launch?

Seriously, who throws a firework at someone's house at 3am? Glad our dogs weren't out, because it went off right where they would have been. I get up around 4:30 anyways, but I doubt the wife and baby will get back to sleep.

@Gina I have no idea what this song is about, but it popped up on my stream. Do you need a theme song?

Even though I have a ton of projects and have no business picking up anything else, I have finally started learning C, something that I've put off for 25 years. Decided to go with Learn C the Hard Way, anyone have any opinions/advice? #C #programming
