#introduction
I'm a developer, have been working with #php #javascript, #WordPress for years, exploring others as well. Hacking on #ActivityPub wp plugin, interested in #CivicTech

language nerd: native bilingual #Français, English, hablo español, falo portugues, foghlaim gaeilge leis an ulchabhan. And smidgens of a few others.

Interests and what I might post about: #lowtech, #cooperatives, #music (electro, folk, jazz), #bikes, #anthropology, #mythology, #sociology, #CommunityOrganizing

Seit Jahren mache ich Radiosendungen für den #DLF, in denen es um wissenschaftliche Entwicklungen und Technologien geht. Meist gehts um Hightech. In der neuen Sendung geht es ums Gegenteil:

Ich habe versucht einzuordnen, inwiefern uns #Lowtech retten kann. Einfache Technik, einfache kleine Häuser, Biogas aus dem Garten oder: mit der Wärmflasche warm bleiben anstelle der Heizung.

Was brächte das? Vermutlich eine ganze Menge. Das Thema ist erstaunlich tief: 1/x

Thought this article from Low Tech Magazine was very interesting, and encourages me to think of ways to reduce temperature, besides just AC, during the upcoming heatwave:

#introduction
Hello! I'm Jonathan.

Although I've lived in the USA for many years, I'm a Brit who doesn't want to take US citizenship. I liked living in France but have to stay in America. I miss the NHS!

Soft left politics, still enraged about Brexit, disappointed with Starmer.

Books I've enjoyed recently:

- This Land Is Their Land: The Wampanoag Indians, Plymouth Colony, and the Troubled History of Thanksgiving -- David J.
Silverman

- Herald of a Restless World: How Henri Bergson Brought Philosophy to the People -- Emily Herring

- Turn, Magic Wheel -- Dawn Powell

Atheist with an interest in religion.

I drink huge quantities of builder's tea, but treat myself to Darjeeling from time to time.

I also enjoy Campari, IPAs, and White Horse whisky.

I listen to classical music, Kpop, and all sorts of other things too - your YouTube recommendations are always welcome!

Favourite food: quiche lorraine, Central Texas barbecue, smoked salmon. I miss roast lamb, Aero, and Bovril on toast.
