Hello to the federated corners of the internet.

Tried #securescuttlebutt last year but struggled with clients too much, so hello #Fediverse !

Recently started using #Mobian on a #PinePhone as a portable communication device, which I'll spend some time improving support for in the #debian and #Guix communities.

I maintain a small zoo of #arm boards for #reproduciblebuilds .

Love getting thrown around at my #aikido dojo and running #offgrid using #solar panels.

I wrote an article about #PinePhone and the #Fairphone for The Reboot:

https://thereboot.com/cracking-open-the-android-ios-grip-on-smartphones-and-the-mobile-internet/

It discusses #FOSS, environmental and labor issues, and good old-fashioned distro hopping.

Just some screenshots of Shattered-pixel-Dungeon a fun little Roguelike RPG running on the #Pinephone

I showed this one before but I realized there is a .jar version in the LinMobGames repo now so you can use it on more then just Mobian. I just love this game it's not specially complicated but a ton of fun and I even played it before I had a Pinephone! :D

Big thanks to @ShatteredPixel (Twitter) for the amazing work!
