I have to admit, I'm very discouraged by 'social media'. I feel, invariably, we build echo chambers and/or the "noise" overtakes the "signal".

I need a "No Solicitation" sign on my front-door

Finally installed Tusky on my phone.

Watching "Spycraft" on Netflix. It's an interesting series with a lot of parallels in our 'normal' connected, digital world. Use encryption. Use strong passwords. Use a password manager and/or generator. Trust no one.

And I'm still on the hunt for #blockchain development resources. How does one get started? What languages/tech do I need?

Thank you to everyone that replied. +1

Android users, which app do you use for Mastodon? I'm thinking about installing one. Looks like there a number of options.

Just finished reading "SOLID is not solid" (https://solid-is-not-solid.com/) and I loved it!

I found many of the underlying criticisms 'on point'. However, as I have also moved away from SOLID, I found the entire book an enjoyable read.

On my slack profile: "Mostly I just goof off and crack inappropriate jokes."

Truth!

Tonight, instead of reading about #blockchain, or #javascript, I'm going to prepare for my #CallOfCthulhu game.

I love whisky, of the Scotch variety. I even have some. But I nearly always forget about it. Like, I just realized: I could be sipping whisky, right now! #whining

Do people run their own #Mastodon instances privately for their friends & family?

In a couple of weeks I'm going to be running my first #CallOfCthulhu game. I'm going to run a "Doors to Darkness" scenario with the Starter Set Rules. Super Stoked! #ttrpg #chaosium #cthulhu

I laughed, out loud, when I saw my stimulus check

Starting to learn more about #blockchain. Seems like I'm a few years late but I'm hoping it's still a good skillset to have. Right now YouTube is my friend. Are there better resources for 'teach yourself' types?

I'm sure I'm going to have a hard keeping these separate, but my 'work' or maybe 'professional' account is @mriffe@ruby.social

I threw some hastags in the old profile: #ruby #smalltalk #programmer #freelance

I'm interested in a lot more. #ContinuousLearner
