My name is Gabriel. I’m a Canadian who is passionate about the free and open web.
I want to hone my technical skills while also helping others reclaim territory in cyberspace. Part of this has been creating my multi-media passion project the Libre Solutions Network. I try to warn about the dangers to top-down technocratic control and explain the benefits of reclaiming their own digital autonomy. I believe that safeguarding our online experience requires a lot more education and engagement than currently exists.

I’m no “techno-optimist” because I know the details matter.
I’m no “techno-pessimist” because I can see how much potential is needlessly wasted.
I wholeheartedly believe the way forward is with equal parts courage and skepticism.
Without courage, you’ll never try to improve anything.
Without skepticism you’ll fall for every half-baked failure that comes along.

Censorship circumvention is at best half the battle. We have to be willing to put an effort into transforming the web through our own actions. Judicious engagement and withdrawal is the most concrete way to ‘vote’ on the future of cyberspace. Just as importantly, it’s worth discovering, sharing, and supporting those who put the work in.
