touching computers to make the world a nicer place :blobcatheart:

#Queens Early Gen-X nerd ❤️ 🇹🇼☕🐱. Online since 1992. He/him. Bi/ace🏳️‍🌈:bisexual: :asexual:. White lapsed Catholic/Immigrant/ESL/Citizen. Not nice but tries to be kind.

Notes: kindness not extended to bigots. Someone from a marginalized group can be a bigot too. Reverse racism isn't a thing, so fellow white people please don't ever whine about it.

I'm a crusty old nerd who chases bright shiny things and loves playing with old computers :) Especially my Atari 800XL and Amiga.

I build castles in the cloud(s) for a living.

Apparently I exude TOXIC POSITIVITY, or so people on the internet tell me. We're all gonna die eventually, might as well feel good while we enjoy the ride :)

Cishet white male. Antifascist. Offspring of immigrants. Free software and self-hosting advocate. My head is socialist, my heart is anarchist. Anticapitalist. European.

I'm interested in operating systems, application and utility software, the claims made about the future we were promised with personal computing, and the present we've ended up with. I think computing is and always has been a means to entrench and strengthen existing power structures.

I'm just an idiot. Far too much politics, not enough furry stuff and goofery, working on a balance.
