About Me
Yo, I'm Viola and this is my website. I'm some kinda weird enby girlthing that exists online.
Nah yeah but seriously, I'm a 29 year old queer autistic Boricua who's been using computers and the Internet since she was 5 years old.
Because my formative years online were spent in the era prior to mass surveillance, your data being sold to advertisers, and when seemingly every single goddamn new piece of tech either requires an Internet connection and/or a goddamn app to actually use, I have very little positive to say about the current state of the Internet and technology.
To be less negative, this practically unrestricted access to computers and the Internet since childhood means I just naturally developed computer literacy skills (fun tip - most of it is 'knowing how to properly search for shit and follow instructions'). It also means I have a lot of inherent fondness and appreciation for the old web because I was there, that's the web I grew up with.
My current computer setup is an Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop with the following specs:
- CPU: Intel i7-12650H (10 cores, 16 threads)
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4050 (6 GB VRAM)
- RAM: 16 GB (4800 MT/s, dual channel)
- Storage: ~3.5 TB total (spread across one 512 GB M.2 NVME SSD, one 1 TB M.2 NVME SSD, and one 2 TB SATA SSD)
- OS: Linux Mint 22.2
As you might expect, most of what I play on this machine are older games that these specs are overkill for, and lots of emulation.
In terms of my personal beliefs and philosophy, I am a practising non-denominational Christian as far as religion is concerned and an anarchist-adjacent anti-authoritarian socialist as far as politics is concerned.
Some may believe that Christianity and left-wing politics are fundamentally incompatible, but I do not. I believe that anti-authoritarianism and what we would describe as socialism is inherent in the teachings of Christ and the Bible as a whole.

The 1980s
No list here, I know the 80s had a lot of problems (Reagan and Thatcher) and shit but IDK I just like the vibes and look of 80s fashions and stuff.
Physical Media
I like owning shit and not having to worry about stuff being taken off streaming services due to expired licenses. Not opposed to streaming for convenience, but if it's a series or movie I really like - I wanna own it physically. Plus, you get higher video and audio quality too. (Seriously, look it up - pretty much every streaming service has a lower bitrate for 4K streams than even 1080p BDs use for video and most of them have DVD-level audio quality)
The NFL
Yeah, I know 'this autistic turbonerd likes the NFL'? A lot more depth and strategy to the sport than you might think. Go Patriots.
Trains
No, I am not gonna list every single locomotive I like but let me clear - I fuckin love Thomas & Friends non-ironically.
(Some) Singers and Groups I Like
