Since there's new users around and I never pinned my original intro, here's a re-introduction (check comments for further addendums):
I'm a trans (she/her) and hella autistic cyberpunk. I'm married to my best friend (they/them). I lean more towards anarchism than anything else. I'm old enough to have greys, but young enough to be vain about them. I speak English and German (tldr; it's hella complicated, just know I'm a Hungarian-American (Orbán can go rot) who happened to grow up speaking German and I also briefly studied in Berlin). I usually post in English, but occasionally will post in German. I have a degree in computer networking but never use it lol . Spent my 20s as a cubicle drone, a freelance photographer, and in teaching (german and ESLA), but these days I'm a pixel artist by trade and moonlight as a linguist.
I post a lot of glitch art to this account. (I have another account more for pixel art, link in bio if you care). I also do more casual posts on this account. Sometimes I mention mental health stuff and drugs (weed/alcohol). I try to make sure those posts have CW. Also, I only boost if an image has alt text.
Intro addendum 2!: a note on my reference to being an ex-hacker, because I get asked that every once in a while. A quick note: I have a degree in computer networking. I had a class as part of that program dedicated to breaking into systems and building defenses against those attacks.
First, why "hacker": this part is fairly straightforward. Used to be grey-hat in my teens and early 20s, I might or might not have broken into systems because I could (won't say which, ever, so don't ask). I have also been known to bodge fun electronics together (eg. I've made a couple cyberdecks in the past). Up until a career change I was becoming more white-hat than grey (lost all them "I can do anything teenage hormones" lol)
Now the "ex" part: a career change! I went back to school to teach German as a second language. Since then (~2015) I haven't done much in the way of coding and pretty much stopped caring about seeing what I could do with a database. I still futz with tech and whatnot, but nothing I would call noteworthy hacking or bodging. I'm more interested in my art and linguistic journeys than the less than legal life I left behind.
Tho, hacking is a mindset rather than an activity, so I'll let you judge whether or not I am or am not a hacker ;)
