Passionate about Kotlin, Security, and Plants 🌱
No offense but if @Peter Todd is satoshi I'll eat my bitkey.

Just stop. Find a better way to fight spam.
Inflation is a property of markets, not currency, and that's the last I'm talking about it.
The most satisfying feature in any hardware. #bitkey
I want to use GrapheneOS but I absolutely refuse to give Google money to buy a Pixel 😞
What are some good alternatives to Google Calendar?
