Hey everyone. My name is Rory Price and I'm a science-fiction writer. I recently self-published my first novel, Opt Out. It follows a group of free software activist who get very worried about a new form of invasive proprietary technology known as smart implants.

Other than that, I'm a dedicated free software user and take privacy very seriously. I'm very interested in storytelling in general.

Debian Bullseye released today. I was looking forward to it, but I just don't think I have the time for all the tweaking that comes with a new major release.

I'll really have to set an afternoon for it soon.

I'm planning to set up a Windows 10 virtual machine. I feel dirty and I'll need a cold shower afterwards.

I bought a new Brother printer and it worked right out of the box. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice.

Hey, anyone has a good recommendation for a bullshit-free laser printer that works on Linux out of the box without proprietary drivers?

My printer died a while ago, and I've been neglecting buying a new one because finding a FOSS-friendly one is kinda rough.

I'm getting my second shot at the end of the month. Exciting stuff.

Happy pride month everyone!

For the longest time in my life, I really didn't care that I'm asexual. I just piled it up as another thing I don't enjoy. Recently, I've been trying to be more open about it, because I remember how confused I used to feel about it.

It's crazy, the amount of pressure society puts on young people to participate in an act that's supposed to be intimate. People should know that they don't have to do anything that makes them uncomfortable, which is why I talk about my asexuality openly now.

I got my covid shot earlier today. It feels like a big weight off my shoulders.

Wow, it seems like my Mastodon profile just exploded. Thanks for all the new follows.

I'm getting my covid shot next week. Exciting!

And first draft complete. I might take a short break before I start reworking it. Writing my next novel actually went by pretty quickly, even while working a full time job.

Am I the only one who spends forever looking at Mastodon, wondering what to say? I've been feeling like I have nothing to share lately.
