Ravenclaw with Slytherin tendencies.

No consistency to my tweet topics.

@LvlUp_Luke @AmericanOutlaws For sure. And the Charlotte security team knows how to handle this. For matches like those against Inter Miami, they are strict and do not allow visiting team apparel / colors in the supporter section. That should be a minimum.

Cheers to @AVFCOfficial!

The @AshevilleCitySC men's season kicks off tomorrow (May 13) as our boys in blue travel up to Boone to introduce @AppalachianFc to @USLLeagueTwo!

Road trip anyone?

Upload speed was always as important to me as download speed and spectrum just doesn't offer synchronous service options. Most people won't notice it, but I upload a lot of files and often remote in to my network. Heck, the overprovisioning from ATT alone is 5X what I had before.

[Ben Kickert @kickert]

I can't tell you how good it feels to finally be done with @Ask_Spectrum!

Made the switch to AT&T fiber and couldn't be happier. Same download speed, 10% more over-provisioning, latency was cut in half, upload speeds are 30X (!!), and prices are similar if not a bit lower.

[Ben Kickert @kickert]

Obviously a better service, but also glad to drop the shitshow that is spectrum. Never forgave them for charging us for the months when we had no service during Helene and their "customer support" system is a train smash.

If you have the option to switch, I highly recommend it!

@AshevilleCitySC Love that we got home/away with both App and Hickory. And CISC isn't a bad third option. Looks like @SouthSlopeBlues can actually make some away trips this season!

From Linux projects to Wikipedia and the Internet Archive, I am happy to support those doing excellent work for the greater good.

[Ben Kickert @kickert]

Most of my annual business expenses come up in December and January. I have to pay the for-profit companies, but I also choose donate to all the non-profits and open source projects that help make my life and work easier.

[Ben Kickert @kickert]

Cinnamon is underrated due to its ties with vanilla Mint.

KDE does everything anyone could ever want.

Budgie needs more love.

XFCE has its place but is clunky.

Gnome is awful. Why would anyone interested in the customizability of Linux go with such an opinionated / rigid DE?

[Ben Kickert @kickert]

Cinnamon > KDE >> Budgie > XFCE >>> Gnome

Hey @CityofAsheville and @buncombeGov, why are you working with companies bringing about such a dystopian reality.

Big Brother is watching and it is scary. Camera systems billed as being for "public safety" are vulnerable and can be used for privacy invasion and nefarious purposes. The "benefits" are not worth the cost.
