    Me rn with bikes. I just got into bikes and a couple days later I’m scouring through my county’s website for trail maps, looking at what public transit is being funded, doing research on bikes, planning locations to bike to, and buying equipment.

    Hehe me too!! (First post on Lemmy too…no more lurking since I’ve found “my people”!)

    My obsession at the moment is with internet privacy and reducing data available to insidious ad companies….

    But my usual staples are always Star Wars (I love it all - don’t get into the arguments/opinions about it either as I just love it all) Cycling (MTB and gravel cycling as well as bike packing) and Aviation/Aerospace (it’s my job too) ☺️

      internet privacy and reducing data

      Then I think you’re ready to make the full jump to FOSS. I was into Linux when I was a little pre-teen, and I’ve only gotten more into it as big data hungry mega corporate induced culture preyed upon us.

      I still use Twitch and Discord but I finally deleted my data on Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and rn I’m working on doing the same for Microsoft and Google. Goodbye Android.

        Absolutely however I do not own a person computer currently as I have to use one for work - when I did own one until recently I usually ran Manjaro on it. I started tinkering with Linux back in the days of early Ubuntu as an alternative to Windows XP :)

          I worked IT for a while, making sure I could run Linux on my work computer was a priority in every job.

            Unfortunately I don’t work in IT - Aerospace Engineer and don’t get a say in IT and operating systems generally!

    This is soooo relatable… My most recent obsessions were tornados and caving. Spent so much time learning all the lingo, I even located a local caving club I swore I was going to join. And then poof, my interest shifted to something else! Haha

    Currently in the process of trying to befriend a chipmunk. Today friend chipmunk was comfortable enough to eat with me outside.

    It was the best.

        This one is not socialized at all. I got yelled at (squeaked?) with all the adorable fury the first time I tried to stay outside for feeding, so tiny progress makes me so happy!

          If you’re lucky enough you she may be female and someday get comfortable enough to show you her babies.

      Me, too!

      Someone asked me last week to explain why I loved it, and I couldn’t explain why. It’s fast, is all I can think of.
