Self-introduction: TheEvilSkeleton

[TheEvilSkeleton]

Hello everyone!

My alias is TheEvilSkeleton, but you can also call me Tesk, 
TheEvilSkely, Skelly, Proprietary Chrome-chan or anything close to it.

I'm really excited to be part of QA! I first tried GNU/Linux 3 years 
ago, from Ubuntu to Manjaro, Arch, Gentoo, Pop!_OS, etc. and finally 
Fedora Silverblue, and I started using it as my daily OS since then.

Personally, I don't think I have much experience with Linux, since I 
have been using it for around three years. I do think that I have more 
knowledge in such topic than an average Linux user, but not as much as 
say, a system administrator. I try my best to learn as much as I can so 
I can contribute back what I've learned. I mostly contribute to 
documentation, since it's one of the places where free and open source 
software (FOSS) falls behind, but also because it's where I am very 
good at. I also experiment; I play around a lot with distributions, 
containers, VMs and more, hence me trying out many Linux distributions 
in the past. I often break stuff because, well, I play around things a 
lot and I'm very experimental.

I also have some knowledge with Flatpak. I maintain 6 Flatpak packages 
currently. I am currently writing an introduction to Flatpak for those 
that have little knowledge in Flatpak and want to learn its technical 
side. I've been working for around a month, and I've spent plenty of 
days for research, so I hope I'm going to give a very accurate and 
user-friendly introduction to beginners. With that knowledge, I'm going 
to take advantage of it to contribute to Flatpak's documentation.

On a more personal note, I'm a 19 year old "student". I'm quoting 
"student", since I stopped attending to classes because I couldn't 
concentrate anymore due to stress and heavy pressure from college 
because of COVID. Instead of doing nothing during the time, I decided 
to join QA to contribute more to FOSS and collaborating with people 
around the world, and be part of the Year of the Linux Desktop™. I'm 
a male, but you are free to use the pronoun you desire.

Thank you so much for accepting me in the project! I'm really excited 
for this. Fedora is very open for contributions and is transparent, 
which is the type of project I love.

If you want to contact me:
My nick is TheEvilSkeleton at irc.freenode.chat ;My Matrix user is 
theevilskeleton:matrix.org .
Have a nice day everyone, and thank you again for accepting me!

May I ask for your real name?

Where does this come from that people introduce themselves with
pseudonyms, aliases, usernames but no real name?

If anything, I think it's a lot less common than it used to be.

When I started getting involved in Fedora in 2005, I didn't use my
real name either. I started using my real name a couple of years
afterward when I got comfortable with it. I've seen trends go back and
forth on this over the past 15 years.

Agreed. In any case, when people show up in our community, let's welcome
them, please, rather than starting off negative.

I can't speak for the original poster, but for my part I consider it a
means of thwarting the ubiquitous tracking on the web.  Especially by
those giant vampire squids, google and facebook.  Make their AI work
for my data!

Hi,

Leaving aside the question of using a real name...

It is much easier to take people seriously if they have a more sensible, 
even if boring, name.  The names you suggested might be fine in your 
existing situation, but imply (probably incorrectly) a lack of maturity, 
and some people would also find them offensive (though I'm sure that is 
not your intention).


Cheers,
Gavin

Sorry for those that find my username offensive, and sorry that the 
names are a bit immature; no one pointed it out to me me before so I 
didn't notice, so I appreciate the feedback. May I ask which name 
specifically is the one that would be considered as offensive?

As for my real name, I prefer not to share it online currently. I don't 
feel "strong" enough to do so. However, I am planning to upload my CV 
on my website someday, and until then, I will use my real name. I hope 
it's okay, but if it's required to provide the name, then I will do so.

Will do. Thank you.

Agreed, and thank you.

It nothing wrong of using pseudo name, unless you do something break the 
rule and law (eventually, the people with real name also did break the 
law and rules nowadays)....shrug

I see it as TheEvilSkeleton come to contribute and "break" the software 
as QA test.

I am curious guy, so I did some search... Look like TheEvilSkeleton is 
good writer and he/she already have experience a lot with flatplak.

Welcome to Fedora QA, take look on wiki [1]. Do you have FAS? go and get 
it, Fedora have interesting way of reward if you contribute, it give you

I can personally vouch for Tesk that he did not apply to break the
software.

Hi and welcome! You may also want to take a look at the Fedora Docs team,
and perhaps Fedora Magazine.

It takes some strength to know when you need a break, and it's great you've
found this to be a productive and fulfilling place to put your effort.

This is so true.  I think for programmers, it isn't as much fun to
write documentation.  And there are always more bugs to fix, and code to
write, than programmer hours, so it is human nature to let the
documentation slide. And, open source changes so rapidly that
documentation goes out of date quickly.

May your successes be legion.  :-)
