mgorny-nyan (he) :autism:🙀🚂🐧<p>Since I'm moving here from Fosstodon, I suppose it's a good opportunity for a re-<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a>.</p><p>My name's Michał Górny. You may know me as a Gentoo developer, though my social media usage extended beyond that.</p><p>I've joined <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gentoo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gentoo</span></a> in 2010, back when I was still a student. You could say that we've both matured together, perhaps became less bleeding edge and more stable. There are some things that I'm still doing all these years later, notably the maintenance of <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a> ecosystem in Gentoo (which is superior to other distributions, I must say), <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/LLVM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLVM</span></a>, <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XFCE</span></a> and some other random packages, building Distribution Kernels. I also create <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> software (mostly tools related to Gentoo package management), work in QA, and either do or have done a lot of random stuff that simply needed to be done.</p><p>Professionally, I used to be a programmer. However, I quit my last job in 2022 due to health breakdown and haven't managed to find a good job so far. Right now, I'm mostly surviving on what I've managed to save years ago, with some help from my gracious sponsors (thank you for your donations!). I've started a new job recently, though onboarding is taking quite long and it's not yet clear if I'll manage to actually make any profit.</p><p>I am very <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/introvert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introvert</span></a>. I always enjoyed <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hiking</span></a> and fast walks around <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a>, and since I've been diagnosed with <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diabetes</span></a> in 2022, this changed from just a pastime to a necessary exercise. That said, I don't like repeating the same routes too often, so I go around by <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/rail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rail</span></a>. My main interchange stations are <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Pozna%C5%84" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poznań</span></a>, <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Leszno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Leszno</span></a>, <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/G%C5%82og%C3%B3w" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Głogów</span></a> and <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Wroc%C5%82aw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wrocław</span></a>.</p><p>A few years ago I adopted three stray <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/cat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cat</span></a> siblings: Blackie (or Lulu), Ruh and Mr. Gray (or Mr. Ek!). They are going to cyclically appear in my avatars and profile backgrounds. That said, they made me realize I'm actually a cat, and a big cat too (that's why the "territory" I keep patrolling has roughly 200 km radius).</p><p>I hate <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> and I'm quite angry that I am forced to take interest in it. I'm a strong believer in the <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CarFree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarFree</span></a> ideology (I don't even have a driver's license). I will sometimes rant in the <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AntiCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiCapitalism</span></a> mood, with a sprinkle of <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecology</span></a> and <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>degrowth</span></a> in the face of <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a>.</p><p>I enjoy reading <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> (fiction and non-fiction alike), watching <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>movies</span></a> or <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/series" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>series</span></a> (though I usually don't manage more than 30 minutes at a time) or playing computer <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>games</span></a> (preferably slower, older, single-player games these days).</p><p>I generally toot simultaneously in english and polish (except for word plays that don't make sense in the other language). My polish account is: <a href="https://pol.social/@mgorny" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">pol.social/@mgorny</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
