Who am I? My Habits What I don't do Devices I Use Software and Online Tools I use Likes and Dislikes		My email is malhelamail@protonmail.com (GPG Key).

Who am I?
My name is David Wolfe. I'm an average guy living in London, UK. I'm 25 years old, my interests are reading books, going outside, and meditating. Occasionally, I make memes as well in the form of writing strange plots or videos. I'm currently self-studying on a few subjects. I try to remember to exercise as much as I can.

My Habits

I use open-source and privacy-respecting frontends such as Invidious, XCancel (Nitter), Eddrit, and Duck AI
I primarily use free open-source software, using WINE to run a few proprietary ones.
I do listen to music, but not as frequently, maybe just a song or two a day, if at all.
My humour is stuck in the mid to late 2010s and early 2020s.

My email is the only way to contact me, that's the only thing I check sometimes.

What I refrain from doing:

I don't play video games, watch adult content, or listen to the news. Rarely, I might watch an episode of a show or a movie.
When studying something, I only use books and very sparingly, Wikipedia.
I don't use VPNs, I don't trust them since data is still sent to a single company, instead I prefer using Tor which works differently.
I do use YouTube to upload videos and watch some videos, but I use the Unhook extension to hide comments, related videos and the home feed.

Devices I Use:

ThinkPad E545, 4-core AMD A8-4500M APU, integrated GPU Radeon HD 7640G, 12GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 120GB SSD.
HP ProDesk 400 G2, 4-core i5 4590s, a 4GB GTX745, 16GB of DDR3 RAM and 500GB HDD. The monitor used is the ViewSonic VA2013W 20" Inch Widescreen HD LCD.
Samsung Galaxy A05S,. It runs stock Android, has a headphone jack. I only use this for communicating with real life contacts, and taking notes, pictures and videos.

Likes:

Going outside, reading books, meditating, occasionally making memes.
My favourite Wikipedia article is the Repudiation of Debt at the Russian Revolution.
My favourite music band is Owl City, I appreciate his singing, his music and the message his songs puts out.
My favourite place is going to the cemeteries, I just like the peace and solitude, they're better than parks.

Dislikes:

Dynamic websites - Thank you for the dozen trackers, unnecessary animations, and JavaScript. They are so worth breaking the site over.
News - You'll never find anything good and worthwhile here. It's a psychological operation designed to make you feel powerless. Everyday my interest in checking the news declines further and further.
Social media - The only benefit this has served me was reconnecting with old friends and exchanging phone numbers, other than that, it's completely useless and has caused many harms. There are a few alt sites I do check in from time to time.
Snoring - You annoy people even when you're asleep. I know it's not your fault, I'm sorry, much like yourself, I can't help it either.
Ripped Jeans - "Look at me, I got attacked by wild dogs." So cool. On second thought, they might be useful to allow ventilation. Literally so cool.
British weather - The issue is the inconsistency, in the span of 10 minutes it can rain, then be sunny, then windy, then rain again, etc. This is not a hyperbole. The UK sits at the intersection of the five major air masses, leading to such unpredictable weather in a short amount of time.
