I've been thinking about how #Linux and other #opensourcesoftware help me cultivate #gratitude.

With a Mac, I remember often getting annoyed, expecting it to work perfectly because it cost so much money.

With Linux I'm genuinely joyful every time I close the laptop and it successfully goes to sleep!

Thinking about this in terms of a #meditation where you reflect on the chain of people who contributed to something you enjoy or need, sending them blessings. Thanks volunteers!

I was tired of counting pins when working with electronics like the Raspberry or ESP32, so I created a simple editor that generates pinout diagrams that fit right onto the board's pins.

Bonjour Mastodon ! Une courte #Introduction après avoir passé un bon moment en observateur .

Je viens des #Maths appliquées, et continue à m’intéresser aux sujets liés à la tech, quand elle me semble politiquement émancipatrice : #LowTech, #DIY, #LogicielLibre, #DonnéesOuvertes, etc.

Au quotidien, beaucoup de temps passé à farfouiller de la #Musique, un peu de #Cyclisme et de la #Cuisine

Mes pronoms : il/lui

Hello Mastodon!

A brief #Introduction post after some time as a fediverse observer .

I come from applied #Maths, and am still quite interested in related tech topics when they lead to more freedom and emancipation: #LowTech, #DIY, #FreeSoftware, #OpenSourceSoftware, #OpenData, etc.

In everyday life, a lot of my time is spent digging (and sometimes playing) some #Music, a bit of #Cycling, and #Cooking

My pronouns: he/him
