   I think it's so precious when techbros try #mansplaining Web browsers, video transcoding or game development to me.

   My dudes, it's likely I've been programming longer than you've been alive.

   And transitioning didn't somehow make me ignorant, motherfuckers.

   This is a question of great and genuine interest to me.

   My Apple ][+ was definitely a hard brick wall to somebody who’d never used one. Also, any specific piece of software behaved in extremely limited, extremely consistent ways, so that once somebody had learned to use it, they could continue using it.

   My first-gen iPhone was a miraculous device. I could hand it to somebody who’d never used a touch screen or a “smart“ phone of any kind, and they would — without exception! I tried this experiment multiple times! — be able to figure out how to use it just by experimentation and intuition. I really don’t think that’s true of iPhones now.

   Were computers easier or harder in the past? Or just •differently• hard? How? Whose needs have we prioritized? Whose comfort?

   To my enemies, I say, “Burn me.”

   My flesh will sear. I will stride no more.

   But my story will glint in the eyes of the crowd. They, who are not defined by the moments in which they are my enemies. They, who yearn for something more than patriarchy allows them. They, who can support me when they act from their better selves.

   They will remember the woman who affirmed her trans siblings. They will remember the woman who danced. They will remember the woman who mothered her children. They will remember the woman who cherished her partners with such passion. They will remember the woman who loved herself so much she risked everything to become who she yearned to be. They will wonder what it would be like to be like me.

   My enemies do well to fear the flame of my truth, for their true enemies lie within, waiting to kindle their own flames.

   They will remember that I lived with joy.

   And they will wish for more for themselves.

   2/2 (please boost both if you boost)

   If you have a 39c3 ticket and want to sell it, or you know someone who wants to sell theirs, please contact me, or get the person you know to contact me.

   My email: info@minifree.org

   Thank you. Do not send to my libreboot mail - please use the minifree address shown above.

   I failed to get one in first presale round. I will try on the 2nd round, but in case I fail on that too, I put this out here too. One way or another, I will get a ticket.

   Please reach out to me. Thanks.

   @levitte Ah, fair. :-)

   I can function as a mid level, maybe even senior software engineer, and end up writing some of my own tools, but I also very much appreciate when I don't have to. At my day job, I'm more oriented towards prototyping and "architect" level work.

   I consider myself purple/white. My integrity is very important to me.

   My work is on the surface "blue team" but I frequently run that from a "best defense is good offense" standpoint, and I do a lot of both offense/breaking and defense/fixing on the side.

   I've always found travel for the sake of traveling (as opposed to a singular trip for something specific) to be a bizarre rich person hedonistic activity.

   People can spend their money and time however they want, I get it, especially for old people, but something about contemporary travel has always seemed bizarre and wrong to me.

   My criticism only applies in the modern era of commercial planes, booze cruises, etc.
