Q&A
some questions i get (or imagine people might have) about me, this site, linux, and random stuff.
why is your subtitle "im simply a creature. wobbling"?
because that's the truest description. i exist, i move around a bit, sometimes i fall over metaphorically. no deeper lore needed.
what distro do you actually use daily?
endeavouros.
why all the retro web badges and anti-web3 stuff?
i like the old-web, and the old-web has nothing to do with web3.
what text editor / IDE do you use?
vscode.
do you prefer static or dynamic websites?
static. this site is mostly HTML and CSS with minimal JavaScript. it's faster, simpler, and doesn't require a backend. the old web did it right.
what programming languages do you know?
python, javascript, html/css, some c.
do you contribute to open source?
not often, but i support the philosophy. i use open source tools sometimes and believe in the collaborative nature of the movement.
whats your opinion on web frameworks?
they're useful for complex applications, but many sites use them unnecessarily. not everything needs react or next.js. sometimes vanilla html/css is the right tool.
do you care about privacy and security?
yes, but im not paranoid about it. i use privacy-focused tools where reasonable, avoid unnecessary data sharing, and think critically about what i trust online.
what's your take on AI and machine learning?
interesting technology with real applications, but also overhyped in many contexts. it's a tool - neither inherently good nor bad.
what's your favorite football club?
newcastle.
