interested in tech on and off. i make music, i love reading, and am probably still procrastinating learning c. most important of all: i adore maths.

Four bendy buses managed to enter a roundabout at the exact same time from four different directions in Oslo yesterday afternoon and get properly stuck, each bus blocking the exit for the one behind it. #BigBusStuck
if this age restriction manages to get into fedora, then i am probably installing #freebsd.

@occult yes, tuning is the most we can do, and it does help tremendously. for the most part i have stopped doing things like watching youtube, substituting that with reading blogs and such (jcs.org and cat-v are some of my favourites right now). i find that they suck less life out of me, and dont trap you in an attention vortex as you rightly described it as.

i think it was a great piece to write and tremendously well done, i look forward to your future writings.

I've published a new essay on my website.

“Into the Dark Wood: The Right to Be Unknown.”

Oblivion, autonomy, surveillance, and resisting a world that refuses to let us disappear.

The Right to Be Unknown

@occult firstly, lovely paintings, it fits the piece very well.

i am in a position like many others where carrying a phone is kind of required and i hate every second of it. im relatively young so i never really had the experience of not having a phone or something like that and it is really quite oppressive. turning off notifications for a lot of apps can help, and i am glad that, apart from this and tumblr, i dont use social media

nothing is like sitting by the sea with no online connection.

i go through phases of hating computers and wanting it to work and others where i adore 9front and bsd and unix like things.

i still keep procrastinating learning c, which i need to do.

when my linux laptop dies and i have money im going to replace it with an #mnt reform. hopefully by then (maybe 4 or 5 years from now) i will be out and clear of stupid software that education makes me use (teams and all that bullshit). give me email, irc, and some sms.

anyway, my ideal would be to just run #9front or #openbsd on it.

@jacqueline
i have seen a few reviews on the macbook neo and they have always annoyed me because they fundamentally misunderstand the point.

this author gets the point, and it is a very excellent and real review.

Yes.
