Right on. I obviously didnâ??t keep abreast of all the important
Applebaum-works (I donâ??t watch a whole lot of youtube videos, I
prefer reading). I run a little tor relay, lurk on a couple of tor
lists, am constantly hacking my fork of roundcube to work better with
GPG, etcâ?¦ but basically I've always had more of an interest in the
technical details. So apparently I missed some important shit.
As I already said to Zen - thanks for filling me in :P
P.S. All sarcasm/snide bullshit aside - do you really think Applebaum
is of the same level of importance to the things you mention -
privacy / human rights / surveillance state, etc, as Julian Assange
or Ed Snowden? Snowden may have clammed up but he got a lot of
good shit out there. Likewise they have tried to clam Assange up
but he keeps on pumping shit out.
