What I’ve been up to

I’ve done two episodes of Linux Luddites and two episodes of mintCast.

 

Chat with listener Isaac Carter

We spoke about the Edward Snowden documentary Citizenfour and its implications for government surveillance and privacy. We meandered all over the place and ultimately felt quite pessimistic by the end of the conversation. Interesting nonetheless I thought and I hope to chat to Isaac again soon.
