Prot Asks me about EmacsConf, Debian, GNU, Internet Archive, and Canada
Wed, 03 Sep 2025 18:58:58 -0400

Earlier today I joined Prot for an episode of his [Prot Asks] series,
where he talks to folks about Emacs and life in general.  We talked
about free software, free knowledge, the importance of community and
the commons, and life in Canada.

See [the episode's page on Prot's website] for the video recording,
Prot's summary of our chat, and the links I shared after our call.

I really enjoyed our chat today and time went by very quickly.
Thanks again for having me, Prot!

Take care, and so long for now.
