fLaMEd fury recently tagged me in his Blog Question Challenge post that has been circulating around the indieweb over the past month. I finally got into a headspace to write for my website a bit, so here are my answers! Why did you start blogging in the first place? I have a lot of thoughts which are, in my unbiased...

I have been using Vim/Neovim as my editor for two years now, but I haven’t made an effort to dive into the topic that is LSP—Language Server Protocol. Since I also want to get into game development for the Playdate, I figured I’d marry those two topics and see how far I can get making Neovim my Playdate IDE...

Thanks for the memories, but good riddance. I deleted Instagram two days ago. The reasons are as you would expect: doomscrolling, fatigue, vapidness, and of course, all of the horrifying[1] things Meta enables. Concerning Instagram itself, the list is long.

Niet alleen is het een dom idee gezien wat de “Koning van Amerika” allemaal roept, de juridische fijnslijperij waarmee men dit rechtpraat, zoals bijvoorbeeld te vinden in deze onzinbrief van het kabinet...

In recent years, I feel like we’ve been constantly forced to choose—agree or disagree, take a side, make a decision. Silence is often interpreted as agreement. But what about when we simply can’t decide? What about the time we deliberately step back and choose the third way, the forgotten one—withholding judgment?...

The third post on My Top 100 Tracks. When I recently told my partner this was one of my top 100 favourite tracks of all time and played it to her she laughed.
