Queer engineer w/ bg in computer vision, automation, embedded systems, and thermostat programming (it's just a switch). Leaked out of grad school and big tech with a new gender in between. Anti AI, pro DEI, and tired of white, green, or rainbow washing.
Nonbinary computer whisperer whose content mix is 1 part tech to 1 part gay with a sprinkling of dog photos. For my own mh, I avoid a lot of political content but technology and my existence as a trans person are both inherently political, what fun. Cool people use alt text and content warnings, punching down is for losers.
I like/star a lot of things. Contextually it may mean anything from agreed to you have my sympathies. Existence is hard, keep up the good work ⭐
