I have accidentally become a writer, too.

Purple is my natural hair color. I have strong opinions about software and sometime I even get to make them reality. Same for the state of the world in general, but I have a lot less influence there.

Professionally: Linux Graphics Plumbing for Qubes OS. Unprofessionally: aarch64laptops, postmarketOS, lots of random projects, local activism/politics.

Originally from central western New South Wales, Australia. Now living in Bihoro, Hokkaido, Japan. I make big antennas talk to satellites.

My posts often include foul language. They also get deleted in one month.

Software engineer, former particle physicist, occasional blogger. I support the principle of cake.

Posting habits: ~60% #Monsterdon, ~20% #Python/#tech, ~20% funny/uplifting/entertaining content. Rare politics-related posts, always using popular hashtags so they can be filtered out. I typically don't boost posts with images unless they have #AltText.

Grundschullehrer mit heftigem Interesse an OER, opensource, linux, H5P und dass es meinen Schüler/innen gut geht. Tröties die ein leeres Profil haben denen folge ich nicht. Antisemiten oder solchen mit einem pro Hamasanliegen dürfen sich gerne gepflegt irgendwo anders hin bewegen. KI-Slop wird geblockt. Ebensolche User, die dauerhaft keine alttexte schreiben. Aus aktuellem Anlass werden auch solche Menschen geblockt, die mir mit Fußball und/oder der WM auf den Sack gehen.
