A #reintroduction:

I'm a grumpy old web developer who complains a lot about the state of the web, and wrote an alternative interface for Mastodon (#brutaldon) that matches my preferences.

I like #weird fiction and the dark of the year. Arguably I'm post-#goth, and interested in the #SorceryOfTheSpectacle. I like #jazz and #NewWave music, especially in their darker forms.

I'm a far-leftist of unspecified tendency, but I keep my politics at @gcupc.

Text reads:

1990's "We managed to compress this fully polygonal 3D game complete with textures and audio to 1MB so that it can be run on this 20MHz machine with 128KB of RAM."

2018 "This flat colored web page with an animated gif and text requires a 3.0GHz quad-core machine with at least 8GB of ram to scroll smoothly."
