4 years using and championing the

#fediverse

full time and I've never written a

#introductions

toot. Well, or I have and can't find it.

I'm a

guy from with a passion for

#technology

and

#programming

, particularly

#lowLevel

#systemsProgramming

in

#C

,

#C

#Rust

, etc.

I've been a huge

/

#openSource

advocate for the majority of my life. I run

#Linux

and I love open,

#decentralised

technologies like

#ActivityPub

#Matrix

,

#bitTorrent

etc.

can be sustainable is if it's built using

#FOSS

, and does not give ultimate control to any 1 entity, individual or corporate. If technology is to help the people, it must be built for the people.
