Call me sychamis, I'm a 17 year-old teen from France. I have autism and adhd, it's not a huge problem for me but keep that in mind if you ever see being cringe.
I'm passionate with computers and coding since I started scratch when I was 7. So far I have experience in python, javascript and TI-Basic. I'm currently learning lower-level languages such as C and (mainly) 6502 assembly and I study computer science in college as it's the only thing that kept me interested at school.
My dad (and then youtube) introduced me to chiptune around 2017 and since then I got hooked. Over the years I developped an interest for 8-bit era chips (like the SID, 2A03/2A07 and AY-89xx) and demoscene-influenced music. As a result I started writing original tunes and covers on my own for the SID and bytebeat (sound generation from scratch in C/javascript).
I use linux. I started familiarizing with it in high-school computer science classes (where we didn't use windows) and in 2023, as I became tired of dealing with all the windows bullshit as well as getting more mindful about privacy, I finally made the switch. I also dropped chrome for firefox + uBO and brave at that time. My linux flavor of choice is currently Arch with KDE Plasma; I've found it to be the most comfortable to daily-drive after a doing a lot of distrohopping.
Unsurprisingly (?), I also have a huge fascination for trains and public transit systems. Riding trams and metros and learning everything about them is perhaps the oldest of my hobbies, I remember seeing my city opening its first tramway line when I was 3 and my interest only kept on growing from there. I can instantly recognize every model of running tram and metro rolling stock in France and I have taken all metro lines in Paris, Lyon and Rennes (not in their entirety though).
I should also mention that my pronouns are he/him.
