Hello! Nice to meet you!
that's me!
I'm a Canadian artist born within the last 100 years! I like watching movies, playing old video games, messing with old computer hardware, and music! I've been using GNU/Linux for 15+ years, and I've been running servers for almost as long. I'm not a software developer, just a server operator! I mainly do 3D graphics as art, and I write sometimes. I'm a bit shy of posting my art, so if you want to see it, ask me! All of my computer and art knowledge is self-taught.
I'm a huge history buff and a humanity enjoyer! I like to collect interesting stories of human greatness, which you can see here. (I might get some facts wrong, I'll do my best!)
Some favourites: my favourite colour is red, blue and purple, in that order;
I like all kinds of music, but my favourite kind of music to listen to is folk music, rock and roll, metal, and classical;
my favourite comic book characters would be Captain America, Doctor Doom, Doctor Strange, Conan The Barbarian, Superman, and The Flash (Wally West);
my favourite TV show is Justice League and Justice League Unlimited (the 2000s cartoons);
my favourite author is Robert E. Howard;
my favourite emoticon is :] or :-] (hate emojis!!)
thoughts on movies/television I've watched, and books I've read. - other random notes
And now... for some calls to action! Everyone should do these if you are cool!
Own your technology, try GNU/Linux today! My favourite flavor of GNU/Linux would be Debian! Just install it on an old laptop and give it a go! In any case, be sure to use Free and Open Source software as much as you can!
Use a good browser! Preferably one with an adblocker! Even the FBI says that you should use an adblocker, because ads are a big source of malware on the Internet! Besides, who wants to give money to antisocial adtech companies to shove garbage in your face and waste your bandwidth! Try Librewolf or just get uBlock Origin for your current browser!
Support critical thinking! Nuke the phrase "it's not that deep" from your vocabulary right away! We are in a crisis of people just not paying attention to things right in front of our faces!
Community is everything! Reach out to friends and family, welcome someone new into your life, and be excellent to each other! Together, we are better, stronger, and more healthy than we ever could be alone! Get off social media, too!
Humankind supremacy! Say NO to Generative AI and Chatbots that will encourage you to commit suicide! The likes of ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok are NOT here to help, they are an antisocial detriment created by companies who would sell your soul if it made them a few cents more!
Support human artists! Clankers have no worldview, no lived experiences, no Soul, no feelings, no opinions, and lack the spark of God; image generating computers are sewage machines that pump out worthless content, and should be treated as a crime against humanity for preverting the wonderful experience of art. It does not matter how good they'll get, they are NOT human.
Pay attention to language! Language is the key to meaning, and you should consider exactly how things are being said to you, and who that benefits. Stop calling human-made works "content", it makes it sound lifeless! Don't use the names of companies in your natural speech, lest you want to be a mouthpiece for greedy corporations!
Stand up for your rights! Rights are not free, they are an ongoing commitment!
Stand for something! God did not give you sense, bravery, reason, conviction, and intellect just for you to squabble it away on being as agreeable as can be.
Thank you very much for your time! Please enjoy the rest of your day!
