R.K.Rajeev's journey and take on FOSS

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

Started using Linux in 1995 Linux start and now works with a CDN company while promoting FOSS as social infrastructure, arguing that open source shifts rules to what users can do rather than what they cannot. Uses the Apple AirTag example to show how iPhones become a global tracking mesh — useful for lost luggage but dangerous when used to surveil people without consent, turning helpers into unwitting accomplices. Notes Linux recognition up but says deep understanding of freedom lags and urges joining mailing lists, LUGs, IndiaFOSS and MumbaiFOSS to learn.
