@zath now has an icon! That is what he uses on other websites as well. Hopefully he will post more often here though....

The Last Day of 2018 on diaspora* by me:

diasp.org/posts/cba0f530ef9201

Since this is Qoto, I will post it here as well:

This is the last day of the year 2018. It is time for many to propose resolutions for them to do in 2019. I personally will start a 90 day reading plan. I am not sure if it is much of a resolution, but I am going to install an encrypted (Or maybe /Linux-libre) operating system on my main machine before I travel. I also will not be on diaspora* nor Mastodon for the next month.

I also have been thinking of what has happened in 2018. It has been an impressive year, and looking back I see some amazing things God has done in my life in particular. I cannot wait for what God has for me in this next year. Since I will be moving to Europe for a while (which is all I will say publicly).

Like many others, I will stay up until midnight and enjoy the festivities and the countdown. Like everyone else, I feel that this last New Year’s just passed, and am amazed at how soon 2019 has come.

This last year I have started two different projects which I plan to continue working on. Namely, (a Bible app system), and (a check-in system like KidCheck for daycares, Sunday Schools, etc.). If you have seen my previous post, you will know that I plan to do a lot of work on LibreCheck in the next few months (if you want to help out, please talk to me!).

What are you planning to do this next year?

@AzureKingfisher@mastodonten.de and remember, God still loves you no matter what you think or believe or how you are feeling.

@catherinebkrause@deadinsi.de The Salvation Army is a great ministry. They may not be as great now as they once was (the beginning of it was an impressive story), but they are still serving God well in many ways. Just one cause they don't support people who go against God's design, doesn't mean they are bad in any way.

@lukespacewalker@mstdn.io anywhere other than Amazon?

I have been completely removed from Facebook for a full year. It has been the best year in recent memory. OBSERVATIONS:

1) I'm still "connected" to current events. I'm just not bombarded with a thousand "rage-bait" rants about it.

2) I'm still connected with everyone that matters. We've shared the responsibility of staying in touch. Sometimes it's on me to reach out, sometimes it's on them. The people who haven't kept up with me, were just a relationship of ceremony and convenience.

3) I'm substantially less depressed. Surprising no one, I guess. It didn't cure depression, but it alleviated that which it brought: A lot.

4) I'm still super social online. I have community here and a few other places. We do things together, and don't just try to whip ourselves into a fury.

5) I've gained a meaningful perspective: *MY* perspective. Getting away from the manipulative pieces of those social media sites has given me enough clarity to be, well... "me."

YMMV

Decentralize today.

Decentralize tomorrow.

Decentralize forever.

@gentoorebel that's great. I have a Matrix room set up just for people who want to leave discord. matrix.to/#/#fromdiscord:matri

I am learning about , and have got it set up on my PC. It is interesting.

Upgrading to 4.20 on Antergos. I hear there is a speed hit...

@vicorva Eh. I think it is pretty bad. It is a solid piece of hardware, don't get me wong. But the software by Amazon is trash.

How apps on Android share data with Facebook...

At least 61 % of apps automatically transfer data to Facebook the moment people open the app, whether they have a Facebook account or not, or whether they are logged into Facebook or not.

@djsumdog I have someone going around diaspora telling people to block me.

@vicorva I have one that looks just like that. Come to think of it, I am using it now.
