Good morning y'all, I've been quiet for a minute because I've been cooking up something real nice. Soft lauched last month, one of the only crop management apps on the market, let alone with this many features and opensource. Give it a try, more updates and release notes comming soon!

GrowGrid@growgrid.org

GrowGrid is built in the open. No walled garden. No lock-in. Every line of code is public and free. Built by farmers and devs who believe ag tools should belong to the community. Just soft launched. Try it today. growgrid.org #GrowGrid #OpenSource #AgTech

Another day, another Seattle sunset! With a surprise bonus! Definitely need to invest in a camera outside of my phone as I know I could do better with literally any physical zoom lens. Know anyone looking for a Technical Project Manager? Always open to new opportunities and making new connections!

Give a small update on the fundraiser, it was a partial success and we were able to move in! Just got lots of bills to pay after the fact and it's rough but so far we're making it. Anyway here's a picture I took yesterday of the sunset and the ferry #seattle #photography #WSDOT

This is such an important thread, it's entirely the reason I'm working to meld their Fairness testing into curriculum at my college. Even outside of that, it's Very important to be aware of bias when writing anything that affects people.

Harm reduction is only harm reduction if it reduces harm. You *cannot* reduce harm by addressing a symptom, you have to address the system. Otherwise you’re just moving the harm around and localizing it somewhere you won’t notice

Bluesky's entire structure is finally being entirely de-tethered from its closed source pieces. Check out @bad-example.com on Bluesky their work towards an open social network.

alright the work is cut out AppViewLite's own web view works really well, but i can't get very far using its XRPC endpoints. seems like deer was doing everything right though!

So many projects right now, between Salesforce, College, and my own personal endeavors. Honestly hoping at least one of them can help network me a career continuing the tech I enjoy. Anyway, Heading to #LinuxFest tomorrow! Lots of exciting things to learn and discuss with #linux heads alike.

So while trying to figure out social media, I found @openvibe.social and it's allowed me to post across three of the latest medias as well as engage! Follow me or just check out what I post on all three. Jack-of-all trades who believes all people deserve basic respect! #openvibe #abandonMETA

Combine this with ham radio internet and you've got the whole tech sphere we built running on yesterdays tech!

Just got this #LoRa node ($17, though you can get even cheaper ones) running #meshtastic. It sends encrypted text messages to other nodes nearby, for free! NO INTERNET, OR NO CELL COMPANIES NEEDED. Passed a message from #Bremerton to West #Seattle. Feels like advanced text message walkie talkies!

Disruption and rebellion doesn’t always have to look violent, either. But when the laws are unjust, the people upholding the laws are unjust, then breaking the rules becomes necessary. What’s that statement everyone keeps saying? Oh yeah - good trouble. Do that.

People’s City Council - Los Angeles @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social

Today is another reminder why statements like this are such an issue. Please think deeply about "the law" and the people that are seeking to uphold it. And the people that will work with police to "enforce" the law. The future belongs to the rule breakers. Disrupt. Rebel.

Sow & Grow went wonderful! It was amazing seeing so many caring people who want to grow all sorts of plants in our community! While Sow & Grow is done for the day, our lovey restaurant partners are still serving while supplies last! #kitsap #community #local #bremerton #food

Thank you for sharing! What ultimately sucks the most is that the big 4 phone carriers are ALL here. So for as long as you use a cell phone within the US, you're supporting this bullshit. It's awful and highlights one of the many reasons the oligarchy needs toppled.

If you have been asking “How can I ACT?”: 1. Call you reps! @5calls.org 2. Boycott (I’ll provide a list) 3. Strike card @generalstrikeus.bsky.social 4. Challenge people in your life who drink the cool-aid 5. Be vocal online 6. Vote locally! 7. DO NOT obey in advance 8. Form coalitions/communities

I'll be here at F.R.O.G. Soap this upcoming First Friday, April 4th starting at 5pm! Sharing how the Co-op connects local artisans and farms to the greater Kitsap Community. Come down and learn about how you can be part of the local food system!

bsky.app@frogsoap.com on BlueskyFirst Friday is coming up, and we're happy to have the Kitsap Community Food Co-op (KCFC) join us from 5-??? If you've ever been curious about how cooperatives work, what the KCFC does, or how to shop (pro-tip it's easy; you don't even have to be a member!) come join us!!!

Well, finally caved and created a nostr. Same username @bobsteva as per most outlets, learning about Bitcoin lightning and relays was fun. I can now also accept Bitcoin via my nostr as well so feel free to check that out if ya can! I'm still debating a threads account..... Probably not...

Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate and uplift our transgender and nonbinary community members. This year, our theme is UNITE—because together, we are stronger, louder, and unstoppable. We stand with our transgender and nonbinary family—not just today, but every day.

Ya know, shopping local isn't just about supporting small businesses, it's also about finding little trinkets and lil guys made by friends who could make More lil things just like it!

This shit is really horrifying and it's just like... There's a refusal to care about or accept that scientific research is such a core part of America's international standing and power.

There are three technology certainties in this world: 1. if it has a CPU and a display, Doom can be ported to it 2. if a display has a binary state (on/off, black/white), Bad Apple can be displayed on it 3. if a 3D game has humans and is moddable, CJ from San Andreas will be modded into it

Had a green card... doesn't matter. "If you do things legally, you won't have a problem." Sure, pull my other leg. "Visas and green cards can be revoked at any time." Then, what's the point of them? If authorities can just *say* you have no right to be here, we are beyond needing "answers."

Are feeling defeated or hopeless, I offer you this: Do for one person what you wish you could do for everyone. Think locally. Get involved in your city or town. Volunteer somewhere. Share a meal with your neighbors. You need one another.

Yay, one of my favorite libraries is on a better platform! Glad to see it, I need to get some nice cook books anyway so I'll go do that soon, next we need Kitsap Regional Library to join!

👋 Hi, Bluesky! For those we're meeting for the first time, here's a quick recap of our Library to get you up to speed: 📚 1891: The first public library opens in Seattle ✌ 2020: We get rid of late fines 🦋 2025: Our first post on Bluesky

More recently I've been referring to him as "the white South African man" and it makes a lot of his commentary both amusing and more concerning that it was possible in the first place.

bro are you seriously not looking for every opportunity to be generous and kind to those around you? lmao this guy can't even remember what it's like to be given a bit of relief and thusly desire to ever recreate this feeling in others
