  81 – It’s A “Racket” Man!

  Boy oh boy this week is as contentious as it gets. Though we endeavour to avoid the topic of AI (not really) the subject is proving to be more and more unavoidable as time goes on. This week we really unload on each other about all of the things we love about AI, as well as those things we are not so comfortable with. It goes on and on. We'll continue down this dark path until you folks let us know you want to hear about something else. So please, for the love of all that is pure and clean in this universe, do so. We do manage to briefly change the subject to the recent kernel/video driver issues Bill has been facing lately.

  74 – Is the AUR Only For Muppets?

  In this episode we deep dive, rather pretentiously into the world of the AUR, and get into the recent bulk discovery of malware in said repository. Some question whether the AUR should exist at all, others believe the AUR is and should be a "wild west" of opportunity, good and bad. The debate gets a bit heated at times. We also get into AI - of course we do. All this, and way more!
