Full stack developer and privacy advocate. I like to keep the mentality, if you can program one language well, then you can program in any language!

  • Horizon Forbidden West,
    currently going through the Burning Shores DLC.

    Truly love the game as much as I loved Zero Dawn,
    only 2 remarks are:

    • Gear upgrades are a chore/grind
      (Temporarily drop to “Story” difficulty to farm the huge amount of parts needed)
    • Machine Strike is not fun
      (Buy/use a “Slaughterspine Piece” to cheese it)

    Other then those 2 remarks,
    I love everything about the game / lore / graphics :)














  • Not on my machine. Or at least, I do everything humanly possible to limit it.

    Either through:

    • Switching to FOSS alternatives
    • Custom patches applied to proprietary binaries.
    • Blocking network access for certain processes

    I don’t expect everyone to become a privacy expert though.

    However I do believe systematic privacy is important, and that we should aim for better privacy laws to keep the intellectual property of the average user safe.


  • Now they can also train their gray area trained model (trained upon our Github projects without consolidating with us if it was alright to do so) further!

    By spying on every command you type in your CLI, and phoning home to MS about it, to train it further.

    I guarantee you,
    If you use it, you’ll be their free training monkey.

    And once they used you for free,
    and the product improved enough,
    they’ll subscription charge you forever to make use of it.
