Koji here. I'm on the Consumer Rights Wiki because I care about pushing back against consumer exploitation. Outside of that, my interests are music production, programming, and homelabbing. | Koji here. I'm on the Consumer Rights Wiki because I care about pushing back against consumer exploitation.
