  • After several years of using Linux for work and school, I made the leap to daily driving linux on my personal computer. I stuck with it for two years. Hundreds of hours I sunk into an endless stream of inane troubleshooting. Linux preys on my desire to fix stuff and my insane belief that just one more change, suggested by just one more obscure forum post will fix the issue.




  • Something I often see missing from discussion on privacy is that it’s not always about you, the listener. Sometimes it’s about protecting the most vulnerable people around you. For example, someone escaping from domestic violence might have a different view on how their information is protected. People struggle to see the value in privacy because it’s not been a big problem for them personally or because they think it’s hopeless. An introduction to privacy in my view is all about teaching empathy, hope, and advocating for others.

    Once they have that goal in mind, you can tie in how open source helps empower people to take back their privacy
