I spend most of my time writing code in a full screen terminal. I like to read books on my breaks and I'm a big fan of Project Gutenberg, which has over 70...
As of 2022 I use a Thinkpad x200 computer, which has a free initialization program (called Libreboot when it was installed, but now called GNU Boot) and a free operating system (Trisquel GNU/Linux).
