Likes

Things I like, at roughly the level of detail a stranger should get. No biography, no "my journey".

Tech

I like technology that works well. I praise the machine and I praise automation. What I don't like is AI taking executive decisions instead of humans. IBM put it better than I can, back in 1979: "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision." That slide is older than most people currently ignoring it.

I like open software and I support it directly. Orgs like the FSF and the EFF do work that matters, and the people who benefit from it should support them.

I doubt everything as a principle. Governments, secret services, companies, other people, and my own things too, including the ones where doubting is against my interests.

Setup

My phone is a Nothing Phone (3a), my laptop is a MacBook Air M4, and my desktop is a docked Steam Deck.

Yes, a Steam Deck. It sits in a dock, it runs SteamOS, and it does software development perfectly well. And gaming, obviously. It's a Linux box with a handle.

Private money

I like tools that let people exchange and store value without surveillance or permission. Monero in particular, because it is real digital cash.
