Hi, I'm Daniel! At the recommendation of @starbreaker, here's my introduction. I'm a fantasy author and freelance writer. I dabble in far too many subject but am into:
#fantasy (I write books)
#bmovies and #cultmovies (I enjoy the subversive qualities of 80s cinema, but find devotional nostalgia boring)
#scifi (mostly of the cult and b-movie kind)
#philosophy (mostly #stoicism but also #buddhism)
tabletop #rpg
And #linux although mostly as a tool that gets out of my way.
some people say that social media rots your brain
to those people, I say: whomst'd've

“Why isn’t the new year on winter solstice?”
The answer, honestly, is that the Romans had no fucking idea how to run a calendar.
My grandparents decided to learn Welsh when they were 65. After two years of lessons in it (and talking Welsh with me at home, I was going to a Welsh school and was already fluent), they were fluent. My grandmother, around the same time, decided to overcome her phobia of water and had me teach her how to swim. She'd swim laps with me in the pool up into her 80s.
You're not too old and it's not too late to try something new.

the best worst thing about UEFI is that it allows the kind of person who designed registry tweaking utilities, winamp skins and mainboard monitoring tools in 1998 to make boot menus

If an indie dev can just add accessibility based on a random offhand comment, what excuse do big studios have?

#StephenFry talking at 'BellLabs about the modern pandoras jar, the internet. And artificial inteligence, big data, ethics, moral and many other things my (and maybe your) head is spinning around oftenly.
Oh, and its very entertaining.
The speak is one hour and then there is a discussion
I am the cruelest human, for I have gone into the room of evil water and ~shut the door~ and lo, the kitteh cannot rescue me from my bad decisions nor watch water as it disappears down the drain
woe
woe
truly, the #cats are forsaken
so say they with paws edging under the door
tho yea and verily, if I chose to go into the monstrous water creature, they would not rescue me, just watch and wait for my safe return
now they hold vigil, for all is lost. why did I shut the door?
