Joined mastodonapp.uk back in Nov 2022. I have a 'backup' a/c on mendeddrum.org. Oldish bloke, got to retirement age in 2024. Now retired, due to the old line about "when it stops being fun, stop doing it". Anyway, old-school coder. I've worked with everything from punch-cards to Perl, via machine language and microcode, C, C++, SQL, etc, etc. Now a happy Linux user on Garuda. Getting more radically 'left' as I get older. I despise all racists, homophobes, Nazis, etc.
