What’s the story behind the naming?
(I presume it’s not written in Hy/Hylang, the cute little Lisp that compiles to Python.)

My 'principle' for DRY is : twice is fine, trice is worth an abstraction (if you think it has a small to moderate chance to happen again). I used to apply it no matter what, soi guess it's progress...
WET, write everything twice
Resale value is important for wheelchairs. My dad had an electric one for about 8 months before he passed on, and the TCO was well under the price of all these alt concepts.

Are you somehow closely related to one Tito Tapia?

Genuine question:
If you write only for yourself, what motivates you to actually finish, and more importantly, polish a post?
I write for myself all the time, in private: I have a journal, a paper notebook, thousands of notes in Obsidian. Yet doing a blog post feels like a massive undertaking every single time, especially the later writing and editing: explaining stuff that is obvious to me and no one else, replacing idiosyncratic abbreviations, fixing formatting issues, fixing blogging engine or hosting stuff. I think I struggle with these parts because doing those tasks doesn't benefit me very much.
So how do you do these things within the framework of writing for oneself? Any takes on this?

I don’t do this. I write expecting the audience to pretty much have read the entirety of my blog to understand any single entry. I like to think there’s a mystique to it — I’ve long enjoyed unpacking the ideas of obscure thinkers, myself.
Then: I’ve known of maybe 10 people over a combined five years that have made the effort to read a lot of my stuff.
Free speech as in speech protected by the 1st amendment? That's very specifically meant to curtail the government's powers, not the powers of merchants who decline to do business with others.
You could make a pretty strong argument that overly stringent regulations that result in sex workers, etc., being unable to process payments are a violation of that, but I'm not aware of why Visa/Mastercard don't support Gab & Parler. If it's that, you have a point. Otherwise, not really.
Who said anything about amendments?

Why must people write using Man instead of Humanity? His instead of Our?
I get that it's "just language" but it's a bit annoying. That's all.
To me “Man” has more of a “each and every” connotation. Compare
“Man must achieve this.”
“Humanity must achieve this.”
The latter is more of a collective emergent thing. And in some cases that leaves you with a diffusion of responsibility kind of passive feeling, while the former is a call to action.
Maybe it’s just my ear.
The characters are 守破離, they basically mean "follow" the rules, "break" the rules and "leave" the rules behind.
I love the Buddhist expression “these teachings are like a raft one uses to cross the river and then discards”.
I remember writing down everywhere — in notebooks, calendars — all full of teenage fury and conviction: “OBSERVE THE MASTER / IMITATE THE MASTER / BECOME THE MASTER”. An edgy 14 year old I was. I don’t remember the source for that anymore; it looks too wise to have come from myself.
