A lifelong student and a software engineer by trade. Exploring the intersection of health, technology, and privacy.
I have a surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker free blog where you will find a blend of opinions, code, and creativity—although not necessarily in that order.
In an attempt to pay it forward, I offer office hours (pro bono) for under represented people in tech seeking mentorship to enhance their programming skills. Please see my blog for scheduling an appointment.

If everyone was refusing to provide official IDs to verify their identity and age on social platforms, and just let their account rot there unused instead, we would soon see platforms themselves starting to advocate against these invasive laws to recover their users.

Just saying.
They need you more than you need them.
Stop complying with invasive requests.

DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.

Bulk of my experience is using a Mac and looking to build a PC with Linux for playing video games. Can someone point me to a site where I can see which of my games I will be able to play on Linux?

I’m a casual gamer and my game catalog is on Steam with some on Epic Games. I don’t really play the latest games, and most of my games are at least 3 to 4 years old if not more (e.g. Red Dead Redemption 2, Tunic, Badlands 2 and 3, Rayman, etc.).

@nixCraft 💯agree. The same goes for macOS. I’ll be skipping 26 for iOS and macOS. I really want the next iteration to be a “Snow Leopard”.

In honor of Robert Redford, everyone is obligated to watch Sneakers tonight.

As my inaugural post, instead of talking about myself, I present a tale by Nasreddin Hodja:

Hodja saw a group of ducks in the lake. He tried to catch one, but couldn't succeed. So, he sat by the lake and took out a loaf of bread from his saddlebag. He broke it into pieces, started dunking them into the water and eating them. A passerby saw Hodja and asked him what he was eating.

Hodja dunked another piece in and said, "Duck soup."
