About me

The usual essay

I am HIDEN/Dylan (pronouns are they/he); I'm a massive technology + history + music nerd, and a classical liberal/libertarian (whatever you call it) politically. I live in the south-central US (specifically, Arkansas), I'm 16, and am taken by the most amazing person in the world (I love you so much, Halen <3).

I'm also a huge advocate for right-to-repair and the free software movement.

I have GAD and Autism, and likely ADHD and OCD too.

As a side note, if you (used to) know someone named epictaco/EpicTaco404... that's me!

Things I do

I maintain a couple of projects... including the site you're visiting right now, obviously :P.

I also sometimes make YouTube videos. The topics of said videos are rather grab-bag, but mainly it's tech and gaming. It can be found at the social accounts page, which is linked on the sidebar.
