Not just Mao as in Zedong but Meow as in cat sounds. I’m a Maoist (please don’t crucify me) who’s been lurking around Lemmygrad and Hexbear since I was a baby ML. As you can probably tell from my name, I’m probably a little too passionate about the environment, and want to add that 
even though nobody asked. I am also a big Free Software user and advocate, and am looking into a pair of programmer socks even though I can not, and do not, know how to code.

I used to live for the struggle sessions in the comments, but I will probably be garbage when it comes to actually contributing to them and other converstations. I can seem to develop my own thinking but I have a hard time putting that thinking into words (probably something to do with autism or ADHD or both, working on it).

Used to be an anime fan, stopped watching as I haven’t had the time nor the interest. Image and profile pic are Tohru from Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid. It’s a particularly weird one for me because while about 60% of it (as far as I remember, could be less) is really wholesome, cute, colorful, and enjoyable, the other 40% goes from male-gazey objectifying garbage (this is sometimes literally entire characters) to “Wait what the fuck that’s illegal”. Probably couldn’t go back and watch it now without experiencing more brain damage, to be honest. Tohru’s still cute though so there she is.
TL;DR I’m new here and I’m not good at either IRL socializing or social media, so please bear (forgive me) with me if I Badpost outside of Badposting. If you got through the first part, thank you, and if you read the other parts, I just want to know how.
EDIT: Just want to that you all for coming and welcoming me to the platform! It has felt really great to finally have a voice, and I feel like more of an active participant than an observer with people who actually have good politics. Much love (I would add the hugging cat but I’m on Jerboa right now) to you all ❤️.
You are now obligated to post more in c/libre, we need more posters to spread the linux propaganda.
Download GNU Emacs and learn emacs lisp (there is a built-in introduction book in Emacs as well as a manual), I guarantee you that it will teach you how to think like a programmer without all the pressure and imposter syndrome of established industry languages like C++ or Python.
That was me at first, especially during federation (ex: people of NATO), but sometimes it’s very tiring (especially when its supposed comrades being reactionary on stuff like veganism or doing the very white thing of calling for death on israeli children forced into the army)
That’s true, but I’ve mostly been an observer to a lot of these. Now I get to truly experience the hell that is the Vegan comm when Carnists try to argue 😅. Edit: I completely forgot to add before this that it can get exhausting explaining the same things to people (even sometimes the same people) over and over again.
Not for long
