I got annoyed with the infighting between instances I want to follow people on, and was annoyed by others having the power to decide who I should and should not interact with. So now I self host.

****messaging me and saying why you want to follow GREATLY increases your chance of me accepting your follow request, ESPECIALLY if you have a somewhat empty bio or not many visible posts. But EVEN IF YOU DO, please consider doing it if you really want to follow me.****

If you harass my friends you discover through my posts i will remove you. I'm sick of being let down, just in general.

I like old thing.
<3 C, Unix, shell scripting, old electronics, emacs, & old cute cars. 30.
Current obsessions include Bubblegum Crisis, the NEC PC-9801, Homestuck, and basically any old computer I can get my hands on.

I also draw pixel art of varying quality. I have very strong opinions, but also don't especially want to force them on others. Moreso I am interested in loudly voicing those opinions in case it helps someone to change how they see the world.

I take an interest in justice, holding particular fascination for ORCHESTRATING THE DEMISE OF THE WICKED. I will sometimes post politics but I try to put it in content warnings unless it's some surreal silly take on politics with few or no ties to reality.

I want to be genuine and connect with others empathetically, bidirectionally; we need more of that and to assume good faith more easily. I still am strongly opinionated though, so I'm sorry if I don't always live up to my own expectations. It's okay to remind me about this if you think I need it.

I'm some kind of non-binary-ish trans-feminine (mostly sheltering under that label, to be honest), but I'm not too worried about the specifics of my identity. I am me… whatever that means to you.If you want to call me a guy or something, then by all means do so unless/until i ask you to stop. I'm starting to near that point I think, but I'm not sure when I'll cross it. :p

LMK if I should CW something or act differently, I want to be considerate and friendly but I don't always know what upsets everyone…

Avatar is my art of Nei, from Phantasy Star II.

Donations would mean the world to me, if you can help. Or job offers. https://ko-fi.com/wyatt8740

Things I LOVE:
- Stuff that makes me think
- Stuff that makes me cry
- Stuff that makes me feel a connection to others on a deep and intimate level
- Anything no longer relevant to the technology sector
- Hardware from defunct companies or discontinued product lines
- Big endian computer architectures
- Ranting

Things I HATE:
- People who embrace evil things made by evil companies for evil purposes and try to excuse what they are doing as somehow acceptable. If you can acknowledge your own faults I will not hold it against you anywhere near as much and will sympathize with you much more.
- The military industrial complex
- Microsoft, Amazon, every tech company that has disenfranchised me and made it clear I am neither welcome nor wanted.
- Apple Inc., who made it clear from the start that I would never be wanted or welcome
- Asahi Linux
- Authoritarians
- Majority rule (aka the subjugation and imprisonment of minorities)
- Quite a bit of other stuff

My opinions tend to be very forceful but they can change and occasionally do. I thought homestuck fans were bizarre and now I am one. I thought I couldn't understand trans people (although I never, ever wanted anything but happiness for them) and now I am one and loving it!
Anything's possible, but it might take time for my views on things to change. Sometimes I do discover I am so dramatically wrong on something that I make an instant U-turn but that's not guaranteed to happen on everything I'm wrong about.
