Longtime open-source user, advocate, and contributor. I’ve been working with and writing about Linux and open source since 1999. Now writing for LWN.net (@lwn). Become a subscriber here if you're not already! https://lwn.net/subscribe/

I post about Linux, free and open-source software (FOSS), music, cats, politics, writing, and anything else that comes to mind. Hates gen-AI slop.

"When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade, without further introduction." Mark Twain

Oddball, computer nerd, aspiring ecosystem co-creator, I've lead a strange and unlikely life. I dropped out of high school and was homeless for several years. During that time I learned Reiki, and how to operate and program Linux computers. I decided to get a job as a programmer, so I created a project and presented it at CodeCon 2004. That led to a career as a computer programmer. I'm now semi-retired and I've turned my attention to my other passion: gardening and ecology.

I just about managed to get through the captcha. I have been on mastodon awhile. Trying long term to create my own server/instance. I frequently get lost, confused or befuddled. Only on days of the week ending in 'Y'/'why'

Own three cats. None of which are real. Yet. Am a vegan in my dreams. Mostly harmless.

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.

Hello I'm Draconic NEO, most people just call me NEO or Draconic. I am a #furry who is into #linux and #opensource.
I'm #AroAce please don't flirt with me it makes me uncomfortable. I don't really feel a gender (#Agender?) and don't really care what pronouns people use for me.

Warning I tend to act a bit Silly.

Disclaimer: Mastodon.social and Mastodon.world are limited, I'd advise against following me from those instances without a DM to let me know who you are because those instances often have spam accounts (Keep in mind the DM must be on my Matrix or another platform because the limit means I will not see it on Mastodon). If you don't and I can't figure out who you are I won't approve your follow. If you want to avoid this, I encourage migrating to a server that isn't limited.

#Musik, #Fotografie, #Mac, #Linux, freie Software, Nerdkram, vermisst soup.io, war mal bei #Freifunk aktiv, öfters im @RaumZeitLabor anzutreffen. Hasst WordPress, liebt MODX und statische Seiten. Macht nerdkompatibles Webhosting.

Ich nutze GNU/Linux und interessiere mich für Freie- und Open-Source Software.

Joined mastodonapp.uk back in Nov 2022. I have a 'backup' a/c on mendeddrum.org.

Oldish bloke, got to retirement age in 2024. Now retired, due to the old line about "when it stops being fun, stop doing it".

Anyway, old-school coder. I've worked with everything from punch-cards to Perl, via machine language and microcode, C, C++, SQL, etc, etc. Now a happy Linux user on Garuda.

Getting more radically 'left' as I get older. I despise all racists, homophobes, Nazis, etc.

Je suis développeur, principalement #Python, #JavaScript et parfois C et ASM (surtout sur #GameBoy). Je suis aussi adminsys #Linux.

Je dev pas mal de logiciels libres et #OpenSource. Ça va de l'outil de config de souris gaming au générateur de playlist en passant par de l'optimisation d'images ou du shell PHP *hum*…

J'ai également un blog (blog.flozz.fr) sur lequel je poste surtout du contenu tech mais j'aimerais bien diversifier un peu les sujets à l'avenir.
