"When privacy will be outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy" - Phil Zimmermann

I am an organism from the species of Homo sapiens, the last surviving species of the genus Homo that resides on the planet Sol III. I am a computer hacker and a gnu/linux server administrator.

I am a digital rights activist. I advocate for human rights such as privacy, freedom of expression, and access to information. Visit the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Basic Guide on privacy and security to safeguard your digital life. If you are an Indian or affected by Indian law then please familiarize yourself with your digital rights in THE DIGITAL PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION ACT, 2023.

Don't be used by Windows and MacOS, as they are anti-user in nature and a privacy nightmare. Install GNU/Linux Mint, a simple-to-use, privacy-friendly and lightweight operating system that can even be installed on older hardware to perform basic daily tasks. You can install it using this guide. If you need help in installing or anything related gnu/linux then please contact me, I would love to help.

Don't use the term "Artificial Intelligence" to refer to software like large language models and neural networks, because they generate output "with indifference to the truth" hence not intelligence. Think of them as "token predicters", similar to the autocorrect feature on your phone's virtual keyboard. They don't use reasoning but heavily depend on a random process that is sensitive to input values like a double pendulum.

If you live in the European Union, I request that you buy a fairphone.

The only social accounts that I have are on my keyoxide. Profile picture was created with Picrew’s “grayscale character creator“.
