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. Google umí překládat do češtiny.

Support

Due to my long-time mental issues with depression and unwillingness to support unethical practices I am unable to make enough money for sustainable living. I am forced to slavery at a factory reception. I haven't been admitted any disability pension because I haven't yet attempted suicide, neither do I have a right for retirement pension because my slavery income does't cover social insurance.

My decision is to spend the time I have until becoming homeless by creating free, public domain software and art, for no pay. If you think I deserve food, you can support me via BitCoin (1B2ArVZCgSB3Yjsd93bbrao9xGCtcNjF5V), LiberaPay, Patreon 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 (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. More info about myself can be found here.

Some of my unpopular opinions are:

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.
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. Not sharing information has to be immoral.
War is always wrong. It is better to die than to kill.
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.

Fun facts:

I don't drink alcohol.
I am 100 % introverted (INTJ), according to tests.
I don't have the sense of smell.
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 suffering from anxiety and depressions.

3D editor: Blender
video editor: Blender, ffmpeg
audio editor: Audacity
music editor: LMMS
screen recording: Simple Screen Recorder
programming: C, C++, Python, JavaScript, Bash, Haskell, ...
