“Cooking With Linux” on Flipboard https://flipboard.com/@wftl/cooking-with-linux-oun4gv1ly

My own site is http://marcelgagne.com where I talk about whatever comes into my head, including Linux and Open Source software. If you just want the Linux and Open Source stuff, head over to http://cookingwithlinux.com .

Computer America is dedicated to explaining all sorts of topics related to technology. Whether it be policy affecting your right to repair, to quantum computing, and everything in between. The mundane to the confusing. One topic we have discussed on occasion on the program is the “Dark Web” (Not the Deep Web). So we wanted to shed some light on the topic, and not expressly endorse or encourage someone to engage with the Dark Web, but to understand it a little better.
