Reflections on Technology, Decolonization, and the Human Journey

Welcome to Madi.se! I’m Jad, a blogger from the Middle East with a lifelong fascination for technology and its impact on our lives. My journey in the digital world began in the early 2000s, those halcyon days of dial-up connections, GeoCities, Mandrake Linux, Tcl, and Blogspot.

Back then, blogging was more than just a trend; it was a personal exploration, a space to share experiences, insights, and a passion for the emerging world of open-source software and Linux.

After a long hiatus, I’m returning to the blogging scene with renewed zeal. I want to engage in meaningful conversations about the profound changes reshaping our world.

What You’ll Find on Madi.se

While I’ve always been fascinated by technology, I’m also deeply aware of its potential for both good and harm. I’m committed to using my voice to advocate for a more just, inclusive, and equitable world where technology serves humanity.

I’m still figuring out how this blog should visually look, and it’s a work in progress.

Join me on this journey as we explore the intersection of technology, decolonization, and the human journey.

I’m always eager to hear from you! Feel free to leave comments, ask questions, or share your thoughts.
