About sinza
I'm sinza. I'm 27 years old and have lived in central Indiana
(otherwise known as occupied Myaamia and Kiikaapoi land) for two
decades as of July 2025. I've been interested in older computers
since my family made the upgrade to Windows XP in 2001. For a family
that implemented an external firewall to their dial-up, XP was
absolutely an upgrade!
Here are some facts about me:
Favorite OSes: NetBSD, OpenBSD, Unshittified Windows NT, Alpine
Linux, Bazzite for desktop
Favorite Editor: Emacs
Favorite Browser: Emacs (eww)
Favorite Feed Reader: Emacs (elfeed)
Favorite Gopher/Gemini Client: Emacs (Elpher)
Favorite Desktop Environment: Emacs (exwm)
Current Setup: Emacs on Debian GNU/Linux
Pronouns: e/em, it/its, they/them, really any non-gendered pronouns

My stance on the (GNU/)Linux naming controversy:
I will call distros by their preferred names. For Debian GNU/Linux,
it gets called "Debian GNU/Linux" (or "Debian" for short). For Arch
Linux, it gets called "Arch Linux" (or "Arch" for short). For
Ubuntu, it gets called "Ubuntu" (or "Ubuntu" for short).
I use "Linux" to refer to the whole family of operating systems
based on the Linux kernel because I generally dislike pedantry at
least partially thanks to an Autistic dislike of being told what to
do. Also, Alpine Linux doesn't come with anything GNU by default
except for GRUB if you use UEFI on amd64 (or other things maybe?).
