TastyFish

personal webpage

Welcome to my webpage. Here I keep and share some of my thoughts and files. I keep it brief here and post more data (such as favorite links and configs) over here. The page is hosted on GitLab and is perfectly designed. Google umí překládat do češtiny.

Support

Due to my issues with depression and unwillingness to support unethical practices I am unable to make enough money for sustainable living. I spend my free time by creating free (as in freedom) public domain software and art, for the benefit of all. If you think I deserve food, you can support me via BitCoin (1B2ArVZCgSB3Yjsd93bbrao9xGCtcNjF5V) or PayPal. Thank you.

Updates

4.6.2018: Migrated all my git repositories from GitHub to GitLab including this website because of the Micro$oft acquisition. #movingToGitLab #deleteGitHub
20.2.2018: Changed the website style to a minimalist single HTML file. No node.js, no PHP, no frameworks, less is more and life is short. The mind has to be clean.

About Me

My name is Miloslav Číž, I was born on 24 August 1990 and I live in Moravia, Earth. I have gotten my master's degree in computer science (focused on computer graphics) at FIT BUT. My online handles are tastyfish, drummy and drummyfish (sometimes also smellyfish, tasty, drumy and other variants). I once looked like this (now more like this). More info about myself can be found here.

I am an idealist socialist anarcho-pacifist (a true extreme left) — please read the free as in freedom Anarchist FAQ to learn more. I love all that lives, even those that cause me pain. I've summed up my life philosophy in this manifesto. Some of my unpopular opinions include:

Unemployment is desirable. The whole purpose of progress is to leave all work to machines. People who don't work, for whatever reason, must not be sentenced to death, as is still the case nowadays. Support universal basic income.
Society mustn't be based on competition.
Free speech has to be absolute. Holocaust denial should not be illegal.
The whole concept of intellectual property is wrong, all information has to be in the public domain.
Censorship is always wrong, possesion and sharing of any kind of information, including any type of pornography, has to be legal and moral. I agree with Richard Stallman on his views of child sexuality and pornography. Not sharing information has to be immoral.
War and violence is always wrong. It is better to die than to kill. (#pacifism #nonviolence)
Proprietary games have to be completely rejected, they are the worst type of proprietary software because people are addicted to it like a drug and look for excuses to make it an exception to free society principles.
Attribution is overrated and the requirement of attribution (e.g. by a license) is inherently wrong.
All software, even games, should strictly adhere to the suckless and Unix philosophies.
Movements like LGBT, feminism and Antifa are not truly leftist and shouldn't be supported (as explained in the above linked manifesto).

Fun facts:

I don't drink alcohol.
I don't eat meat. (#vegetarian)
I am 100 % introverted (INTJ), according to tests.
I've never had the sense of smell. (#anosmia)
I am a member of Mensa.
I can't whistle.
I am a fast caffeine metabolizer, meaning I can drink coffee before sleep.
I am not competitive.
I am suffering from anxiety and depressions (diagnosed AvPD). I cry pretty often.
I am a virgin.
My favorite algorithm is most likely Hough transform.

Free (as in Freedom) Software, Free Culture, Suckless Software

I greatly support free culture, free software, public domain and information freedom. I am against copyright and the concept of intellectual property. I live these ideals and contribute to free culture, mainly by programming games and creating various kinds of art, both of which I contribue to public domain under CC0.

I furthermore very much support suckless software, countercomplexity, technology minimalism, Unix philosophy and their strict application to all technology.

Here is a list of software I am currently using:

operating system: GNU Debian (ensures free data packages, unlike GNU)
desktop: dwm, Xfce
text editor: Vim
terminal: st
documents: LaTeX, LibreOffice
Internet Browser: Waterfox, AdNauseam (blocks and clicks ads), Lynx
bitmap graphics editor: GIMP, imagemagick, GMIC
vector graphics editor: Inkscape
3D editor: Blender
video editor: Blender, ffmpeg
audio editor: Audacity
music editor: LMMS
screen recording: Simple Screen Recorder
programming: C, Python, C++, JavaScript, Bash, Haskell, ...
