I write software, explore how the technology I use actually works, and question the defaults that come with it. I want to know what's running on my machines, who's in control, and what's happening under the hood. I'd rather build my own tools than ask permission.

Privacy isn't secrecy; it's choosing what I reveal and to whom. I make my own judgments, then publish my writing with signatures and records anyone can verify independently. You don't have to take my word for it. That's the point.
