Purple is my natural hair color. I have strong opinions about software and sometime I even get to make them reality. Same for the state of the world in general, but I have a lot less influence there.

Professionally: Linux Graphics Plumbing for Qubes OS. Unprofessionally: aarch64laptops, postmarketOS, lots of random projects, local activism/politics.

Lmao. A couple days ago I was making an "enshittification collage" for a meme in a presentation and I just. couldn't. for the life of me, find a goddamn screenshot of a specifically "thousand partners" cookie banner using online image search.

Apparently all I had to do was open Thingiverse (of all things!!) in a fresh session. Ffs

The #GitHub Slopocalypse is really real. I didn't even see the mangled merges thing, I was just typing a PR description yesterday and the text composer just went nuts!

The WORLD'S BIGGEST CODE FORGE is going absolutely DOWN THE TOILET in quality. Absolutely incredible accomplishment of the whole current "AI" phenomenon

what the fuck lmao CIX announced an overclocked version of the CD8180 marketed specifically as an "OpenClaw CPU"??? (link) might as well call it DeleteMyEmailsCPU lol

Absolutely hilarious, can't believe it actually happened… I went to read @expede 's great article about a deadlock prevention library and it uhhhhhhhh deadlocked my Firefox??

Clearly Mozilla should look into adopting surelock 🙃

(Well idk if it's specifically a deadlock but it freezes. One time it actually crashed and I sent a report to Mozilla.)

Halftone (the dithering app) makes mobile linux photos look so good. This is like the early days of mobile apps again, except built to last and without any ads
