To what extent can you avoid services and products from companies who do bad things? Plus whether we should try to convert WSL users to “proper” Linux, if so how, and if it’s even possible in Voice of the masses.

The main way podcasts grow their audience is through word of mouth so if you like what we do, it would be great if you spread the word to people who might also like our shows.
Anyone who's into Linux, open source, systems administration, cloud, or development should find something they like.

How to deal with a horrible codebase that you’ve inherited. Getting started, breaking the problem into smaller pieces, understanding what’s actually wrong, the importance of testing (as usual), and why technical debt isn’t necessarily the best name for the problem.

Analysing MQQT data, getting domains unblocked from Cloudflare DNS, making ASCII animations, and why Joe is drawn to Linux Mint. Plus why we don’t talk about Vivaldi even though it’s quite good, why Félim was wrong about right click in PuTTY, and Will doesn’t seem to understand Lemmy.

NVIDIA makes more of its drivers easier to install, the EU is probably going to redirect FOSS funding to AI, Mark Zuckerberg abuses the term “open source”, Proton jumps the shark, a trio of typical Google stories, and the shortest KDE Korner in history.

2.5 Admins 204: Maybe Don’t 5
A widely-used login system is still using MD5 which is bad news, miscreants took over some domains when they moved from Google to Squarespace, Linksys’ sloppy app isn’t a huge problem but is a bad sign, and why backing up an Android phone in one go is pretty much impossible without root.

Andy is annoyed that so much free and open source software is hosted on a proprietary platform that’s owned by Microsoft. There are plenty of alternatives to GitHub, but ultimately the network effect is why so many people host their code there. We dream of a proper federated solution. Maybe one day…
