DRM and watermarking of e-books should be banned. Copyright should be abolished.

On my desktop computer I use the Gentoo distribution and the i3 window manager.

I'm using Windows 10 inside a QEMU virtual machine on a Gentoo Linux host system. I need it in order to download e-books with DRM because Adobe Digital Editions only runs on Window…

If I had extra money left I would buy some other bitcoins. That's not the case unfortunately...

I try to use free software only, but unfortunately that's not always the case. For example the BIOS of my desktop computer is proprietary. I also don't use a FSF-approved GNU/Linux…

I would introduce a heavy tax on greenhouse gas emissions, and I would redistribute all the revenues as universal basic income.

On top of my head: Apple, Microsoft, Facebook.

I track calories for everything I eat. Moreover I do 25-30 minutes of jogging daily. When it rains I do 5 kilometers with my stationary bike instead.

I use Org Mode so I have a plain text file called todo-bookmarks.org with a list of links to the articles I want to read.

Probably around 100,000 €.

Mastodon instead of Twitter.
