How would you really define yourself? Political ideas, hobbies, your job, what you consume, not consume and so on only get you so far. Do they even define you as a person? What does it mean to be you?

My personal quest:
“To leave the world a bit better [...]; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - that is to have succeeded”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

These interests don't define me, but my brain seems to enjoy investing time in them:
- Programming (Python, BASH, Java, Clojure)
- Bouldering, Yoga, Cycling
- Reading (See https://bookwyrm.social/user/burgess)
- Philosophy, Design
- FOSS, GNU/Linux, Privacy

@memo @megan @zero I usually use both. I try to use Organic Maps, but sometimes switch to Google Maps if it wasn't good or on urgent things.

@memo I like Organic Maps more, it's more intuitive, also open source and also builds on OSM, but still weird relative to Google Maps

I sleep (inside) 1/3 of the time, I have a desk job, which is (unfortunately) inside and at least 1/4 of my week.
1/3 + 1/4 = 7/12
7/12 > 1/2
I'm more inside than outside, as well as most people with a full time desk job.
QED.

It's not that I'm this big philosopher and you people are missing out or I'm on FBI's most wanted, but I don't want to think about it that much. I want to feel free enough to get as personal as possible/endurable without somebody in my personal life being able to map this account to me, neither person or government. I always imagine some coworker I'm not that comfortable with, knowing all those very personal things about me that I wouldn't want them to know.

I'm in this weird limbo using this account. I'd like to post more, especially about opinions, thoughts, personal struggles and so on, that I usually don't talk about that much openly. Every time I want to though, I think about each post making it easier to personally identify me in the long run. I don't want all these sometimes personal things I post, suddenly being matched with my person. Maybe I'm just too paranoid, but things like mentioning your birthday and home country can add up.

@catswhocode Lil'Appendicitis, but if we talk about even "Lil" things, it would be Lil'Bruise 😅

@thebiologist1117 @frankie That movie was surprisingly good. I thought it's just gonna be one of those "stupid fun" Adam Sandler movies but I guess I was wrong 🙃

I still have to watch "Uncut Gems", I heard it's also one of his best

@thebiologist1117 @lydiaconwell Fun Fact: Some cultures don't even celebrate a specific birthday, many people in Syria are part of one of those cultures. It's why so many refugees from there have the first of January as their official birthday. They just don't know the date but they had to pick one while registering.

I don't like Facebook and such plastering this message of "We don't sell your data" everywhere, without repercussions. While it's technically true, it's intentionally misleading, because people don't necessarily understand what it doesn't mean.
