I am looking forward to the book and am particularly curious if it will address the origin of "conspiracy cultures" as I personally feel a lot has to do with governments and media plain lying and manipulating. It keeps me puzzled

Most whistleblowers have a high moral and ethical standard. In current societies where people make it to the top lying, cheating and misusing or even suppressing others, we watch movies about Jedi and turn a blind eye to the dark side the m

I like the way the mineyest ecosystem is progressing. I am a huge fan of Minecraft and we turned it into a family thing running our own server. But the take-over by Microsoft feels like a pain and I really dislike that since the move to Mic

I use GNOME every day. What I like is that it isn't to much. The main use to me of any window manager is to use my mouse as little as possible, be able to tweak all of the underlying hardware and peripherals and get access to my tools

I drive 181km single journey every week, stay one or two nights and return. As traffic can be challenging, I leave at 05:00 to arrive at 07:00 whereas leaving at 07:00 would add an hour and a half to my commute. When I return, I grab dinner
