About me

See the Director's Cut of my bio in the "about" page:

About me

Tech stuff: I care a lot about accessibility, and often use screen readers and forced colors to deal with overstimulation. I'm a FLOSS (Free, Libre, and Open-Source Software) enthusiast, software minimalist who likes watching anime and tweaking his Linux setup. Current interests include search engines, security, privacy, and the IndieWeb.

My perspective on software freedom is a bit different from the FSF's; I've been trying to distance myself from "fossbro" culture.

Git repos:

Sourcehut

GitHub

GitLab

Since some people asked me about music, here's a generated list of every track in my library that I've rated 8/10 or higher:
