Hi, my name is Lorenz, I am 19 years old, I do a lot of things, and I am interested in even more things :)

I am contributor to the #OpenSource Software projects #GNOME and #Vala (I am running @vala_lang) and I am GNOME Foundation Member.

I am from Berlin, but currently I am living in Phnom Penh, #Cambodia, and I am volunteering in a youth organisation here.

I am posting about these things, but I want to share other things as well.

Though given the current situation with which data these chat bots are trained, how much energy they consume, and that it's mostly all centralised services by big corporations, there still needs a lot to change before I can comfortably use one.
