I'm a fully blind programmer. Started with an audio gaming toolkit by accident, now I know stuff like C, rust, python and afew others.
I believe in a better world, free of racism, ableism and all the nasty stuff some people like to belittle everyone else with, also in a future where the commons is much greatter, if not the default way of doing things, where billionaires don't exist to torment us and make our livelyhoods worse with every passing day.
I believe in the fediverse's ability to change the social media landscape, as well as grassroots technologies succeeding where big tech burned all the oxygen from the room.
Free, open source and collaborative software is a big part of the better world, the new world.
We need better free software licenses which don't only focus on the four freedoms, but also on making sure our code isn't used by people with the intention to harm everyone else, commit genocide for example, if we're going to have licenses at all.
Mutual aid networks are essential. They are the backbone of every healthy community, big or small, and also I believe that those are the best tools we have to fight the oppression all around us, the inequitable systems and the slow collapse of a lot of the things we came to depend on over time, which has been steadily accelerating in the last few years.
If you don't see me coding or reading code, usually I'll be reading book series such as the wheel of time or the malazan book of the fallen.
If not that, I'll most likely be watching cartoons or anime, listening to metal music or messing around with other stuff for fun, like trying to learn to sculpt or model stuff, print something with a 3D printer, maybe one day, etc.
Favourite metal bands include Sabaton, Orden ogan, Motionless in white, Metallica and guns&roses.
I'm on my way to understanding anarchism, but I didn't understand it fully yet, so can't say I'm an anarchist just yet, because I'd probably be lieing. Once I'll understand more, this entry in this here place will change.
