Destination Linux is a weekly show where Ryan, Jill, and guests share their passion for Linux and Open Source. Destination Linux is a show for all experience levels, whether you’re a beginner to Linux and Open Source or a long time user, this is the podcast for you. Destination Linux covers a wide range of topics from the latest news, discussions on Linux and Open Source, Linux distributions, Linux applications, security, privacy, AI, gaming on Linux, and unique in-depth interviews with Linux developers and leaders and much more!

Welcome to Destination Linux Episode 473, where digital freedom takes flight! This week, Jill, Ryan, and Zeb are joined by Jason Kelley from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) - one of the world’s leading defenders of privacy, free expression, and digital autonomy.

Jason shares the origin story of the EFF, how the organization is structured, and the biggest battles it’s fighting today, from digital ID verification laws to global censorship and data privacy threats. We explore how the EFF fights back, how listeners can get involved, and what the future of digital rights looks like if surveillance laws continue to expand.

Plus, we have community feedback from a blind Linux user discussing accessibility challenges, updates from Sandfly Security, and our usual mix of open‑source news and humor.

Join us for this historic conversation about the fight for privacy, freedom, and the open internet.
