I know, I know, it's been like forever since I last posted on this blog. Life happens, right? In the two and a half years since my last article, I have left teaching and jumped into the IT field full-time. I have also developed a new, passionate reason for using Linux in addition to the usability and the lack of cost: freedom and privacy.
Some of you out there are probably rolling your eyes, and others could be thinking, "Look who just caught up!" Privacy and security are hard, particularly when you get into the technical bits. While standing up to the NSA is difficult at best and nearly impossible at worst, it is still possible for Joe Average to guard against the big stuff without a ton of inconvenience.
Look for new content with privacy, getting things done, having fun, and reasons why getting away from the big guys -- Apple, Google, Yahoo, and especially Microsoft -- is better for your well-being. Until next time, be well.
Day-to-Day Linux is a blog about using Linux for daily life. Unlike many other sites, it is not just for computer wizards but for people from all walks of life. Find hints and tips on how to work better and have fun without relying on Windows or a Mac and guard your privacy in the process!
