About this episode
The sad reality of the AI crawler bot arms race, the baddies seem to be obsessed with Xorg, but Wayland will soon be a reality for older smaller desktops (hopefully). Plus controlling a silly Red Dwarf thing, software releases with feature flags, a massive list of cheat sheets, another way to avoid the likes of Reddit, old skool CPU monitoring, and an update on Joe’s KDE experiment.
