Hello world...this is an experimental account for LWN.net, soon to be a home for article notifications and more, we we get it all figured out. #introductions
Oh look, another software anarchist, how original.
I'm part of a small software consultancy co-op based in Copenhagen. I wish I didn't have to toil under capitalism, but here we are.
I'm trying out the #fediverse experience to see if I can find more of a sense of community than the very Personal Brand focused Dunking of Twitter.
So far, it's felt pretty welcoming on here: lots of people, lots of tips on how to get started. But I have yet to find My People on here. #introduction#introductions
I generally work too much (3000 - 3500 hours per year the last few years). I try to remain in touch with my kids and grandkids, having realized that I missed a lot by being at work all the time. ( I spent more time with #sonTwo than with #sonOne or #Daddy_A, partly because he came and hung out at my workplace at the time. ) I am actively attempting to reduce that to something more reasonable, so that the younger grandkids (currently 11 and younger) will know me as the granddad that is present and involved.
Politically, I'm a centrist. By this, I mean that I reject the overall viewpoints and the dangerous and harmful plans of both the left and the right. I also disagree with many others who call themselves centrists.
I reject the US Democrat and Republican twin parties, generally choosing to vote for candidates who are not part of either organization. I do not believe that either the federal government or any corporation is the savior of the people. (Nor do I believe in any form of anarchism.) nu.federati.net/main/public

i have been writing free #software for nearly 20 years, examples include #audacious, #ircd (many different ones), small tools like #pkgconf, many libraries and large distributions like #alpinelinux.
recently, i have been working on #pleroma and an alpine derivative called #adelie, which is essentially a polished and commercially-supported version of alpine.
i like #turtles, #rabbits and my warm and soft #onesie, which i usually spend the day lounging around wearing while i do my work.
My name is Florian, a web developer from the Arnhem, Netherlands area. My hobbies include languages, audio engineering, reading, composing and just havin' a good ol' time. I'm a fully blind developer and my guide dog and I get up to a bunch of mischief. Accessibility is a topic dear to my heart and I make it a point to keep my (web) accessibility skills and knowledge up to snuff. I occasionally give talks on the subject as well. Come say Hi some time! :) #introductions
