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.

What Huxley feared was that there would be no one who wanted to read one.

Neckbeard, but I am unable to grow a beard.

I'm a polish software engineer by trade (and passion) working on #Ruby on Rails in a SASS. But my true heartbeat is the #foss #RetroComputing rhythm: I love my #emacs #freebsd combo. I am very much into #smallweb and all that it stands for.

I love good #SciFi but recently I've been reading good #fantasy - which is a shock to me. There are great fantasy books out there!

Piracy is the only answer to streaming services.
