My interview with Didmus Barasa was my last one at Radio Generation. By then, I had already resigned and was moving on to something else.
It was probably the interview that best captured what those few months had taught me when I joined the station, I was far more of an activist than a journalist. I had no patience for politicians, especially those I felt had contributed to where this country is today. I even refused to interview some of them. I was convinced that giving them a platform was the wrong thing to do.
I was constantly told I was emotional and biased, especially towards UDA politicians. It annoyed me, but I also had to be honest with myself that journalism isn't activism. You don't get to choose who you hold to account. You ask the questions, no matter who is sitting across from you. That was one of the hardest adjustments I had to make.
So when Didmus Barasa sat in that chair, I asked him about the things people wanted answers to, including Brian's killing.
I wish more people understood the cost of activism. Some of you have the privilege of working wherever you want, building your careers without your politics following you everywhere. Activists don't have that luxury. Many employers see you as a liability. People assume you're surviving on NGO money because it's an easier story to believe than the truth. The truth is that writing for different platforms and doing consultancy work is what has kept me afloat.
The last two years have been the hardest of my life. Living under constant public scrutiny. Every morning I would wake up hoping my name wasn't trending again over another lie or another propaganda campaign. You become used to fear. You become used to people discussing your life as if they know it. It is exhausting.
If I could choose, I would never choose that part of this life again. But I also know that nothing is going to change about me. I will always care. I will always fight. That part has never been negotiable.
I had refused to interview Kasmuel too but eventually I realised I couldn't keep carrying my activist instincts into a newsroom. We did the interview, challenged each other, and it remained respectful. That experience, like many others, taught me that journalism and activism are different disciplines.
I thank the Radio Generation family for everything and their patience. It’s truly the home of hard truths. Quality content and amazing hosts.

Epic Games got tired of Git. So they built their own version control system. Then gave it away for free.
This is Lore. Announced at State of Unreal 2026. Open source under MIT. Available right now.
Git was never built for game development. When you are working on a project like Unreal Engine or Fortnite you are mixing source code with massive binary files. 3D models. Textures. Audio. Build outputs. Files that are gigabytes in size.
Git handles large binary files through a bolted-on add-on called Git LFS. Perforce handles them better but it needs a live server connection for everything and nobody outside your company can build tools on top of it.
Epic said none of the existing systems solved all three problems together. Large binary handling, offline work and an open specification. So they spent years building one themselves.
Here is what Lore actually does differently:
→ Works completely offline. Commits, branches, switching — all happen on your machine without touching a server.
→ Every file gets a unique fingerprint. Identical data is never stored twice across files or branches.
→ Large files are broken into chunks. Edit one part of a multi-gigabyte file and only that chunk gets re-uploaded.
→ Your machine only holds files you are actually using. Everything else gets pulled down on demand.
→ Built in Rust. Core library, server and CLI all use the same interface. No special privileged commands.
→ Official SDKs for JavaScript, Python, C# and Go ship with it.
Perforce licenses cost tens of thousands of dollars a year. Git LFS is a workaround that was never meant to be a solution.
Lore is free. Written in Rust. MIT licensed. And Epic just put it on the internet for anyone to use.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
You can now ask Gemini to create Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, and more directly in your chat. No more copying, pasting, or reformatting, just prompt and download.
Available globally for all @GeminiApp users.
1/ In GitHub Copilot CLI, you can move across models depending on the job.
Use faster models to scaffold and explore quickly. Use deeper reasoning models to plan, understand requirements, and make the right tradeoffs.
Then GPT-5.5 can take that plan and turn it into working code, iterating, resolving errors, using tools, and validating results along the way.
