I have a strange hobby where I always want to do everything possible with Open Source software. It's an artificial constraint I place on myself, when nobody's forcing me to. It's like I have this inner contrarian spirit inside myself which insists on it. It's been like this for like 27 years. Nobody took me seriously in this for a long time, but with every passing year, as things enshittify gradually, it turns out it wasn't a bad idea after all.

I am used to taking things literally, especially online. When my girlfriend says "I hate you," I think "Got it." Talking to AI, I realize I should say a lot about emotions.

I get asked if I'm Austrian or German a lot. My sister always gets asked if she's French Canadian. What if there was a third child? Would that sibling have had a Cockney accent? I wonder if I've been watching too much Hogan's Heroes.
