Jahrgang 1977, an gesellschaftlichen Themen und sozialen Entwicklungen interessiert. Datenschutz, Arbeitnehmerrechte, Inklusion, Umverteilung. Sozialstaat wieder neu denken lernen.

A man whose mind is a haze of swedish punk rock, fantasies about musclegirls, and strong opinions on portable electronics: and slightly less stubborn views on software.

Child of the Home Theater PC-era.

My main barometer for Software Bloat is the presence of a splash screen to cover up loading times.

the decline of keyboard phones is arguably bigger blow to the concept of general-purpose computing than any DRM/vendor lock-in

As of 27 April 2026 I only repost/quote posts that I've replied to.
I don't wish to have a profile full of reruns, but I still see the value in signal-boosting the work of others.

Picked my username because I believe that Noa Izumi from the Mobile Police Patlabor franchise is a pretty good "patron saint of technologists"-figure: give or take the cop thing.

She is very optimistic and strives to get the most out of her exoskeleton even though she hardly knows robotics.
She also dismantled a supply chain botnet: decades before NPM and Wordpress made those mainstream.

== Interests ==
- Making simple gameplay mods for ZDoom
(weapons, player movement, jetpacks)

- Hacker conferences, i.e CCC
(never been to one, but the talks eviscerate 99% of tech Youtube)

- Reading: tech blogs, manga, religious works
(TechTipsy, @domi@donotsta.re 's blog, even Hackaday if I'm desperate)
(Patlabor, Rayearth, anything by Shirow Masamune)
(New Testament, The Religion of the Samurai)

- Videogames
(Jackal and Millipede are the best 2D shooters, because you don't need a speed powerup to have a fighting chance)
(Quake has worse guns than doom, but the verticality makes up for it)
(Doom is more interesting when you don't keep weapons between levels)
(got highly addicted to F-Zero for a while)
(Kung Fu for NES is the only beat-em up I really got into, it isn't a slugfest: also appreciate Mazinger Z for SNES because of the immense enemy variety)

- Permacomputing
(mainly interested in the "my laptop from 2003 works fine, now get off my lawn"-part of their philosophy)

- Birds
(kinda want to scratch a Golden Eagle under the chin, I find them oddly cute)
(don't get why Netscape's grandson is called Seamonkey instead of Albatross or something)

Kaena, sculptrice de textes de slam, rap et chanson, amatrice de chansignés, eudémoniste, écologiste, féministe, anarchiste. Je tiens un blog nommé "Blog d'une enfant de ce siècle".

Born in the United States, I am a professional software engineer, and have been since 2008. I currently do full-stack work, mostly in Python and JavaScript, for a company based in Japan which sells AI-related services.

However I am passionate about functional programming languages, especially Haskell, Scheme, and Emacs, so this is mostly what my posts are about.

I care deeply about human rights and justice for the poor, persecuted, and underprivileged people.

**Warning:** I will occasionally re-share posts containing images of the victims of the Gaza holocaust **which do not have content warnings.** I do this because I feel we should not look away from the horrors of genocide, we have collectively forfeit our right to not see the shock and horror of these images.

I am strongly opposed to war, fascism, and any ideology driven by hatred. I reject all forms of violence except self defense (war and terrorism are never self defense). Climate change is an issue of human rights because it will cause the most harm to the poor and underprivileged. I am especially concerned about large corporations and nation-states using AI as a means of controlling people through targeted advertising, mass surveillance, and "pre-crime" policing. Most of the political posts that I boost are about climate change, and the abuse of AI technology.

Since late 2023, I have been especially horrified by the genocide being committed by the United States and Israel against the people of Palestine, although I now understand that these crimes against humanity have been ongoing almost continuously since 1948. **A large number** of the posts I boost are about the ongoing genocide against the people of Palestine, as well as all the other innumerable crimes against humanity committed by the states of the US and Israel throughout the Middle East and elsewhere. Usually I am careful to only boost posts that respect content warning rules.

I also love retro-computing, especially computers from the late 70s to early 90s, in particular old Apple computers, but I love all old computers from that era. I will often boost post on these topics.

I am also passionate about free/libre software, especially Linux. Most of my posts are about functional programming languages, retro-computing, and Linux. I will occasionally author and boost posts about this.

I also enjoy procedurally generated art (which do not use LLMs), what you might call "algorithmic art," and photography, and will probably boost posts sharing artwork like this fairly often as well.
