ai – Linux OTC https://linuxotc.org "Linux Off The Cuff" Sun, 14 Jun 2026 17:36:46 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.1 https://linuxotc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cropped-FO71ABCF89B83-01-e1671551402820-32x32.jpg ai – Linux OTC https://linuxotc.org 32 32 213046145 74 – Is the AUR Only For Muppets? https://linuxotc.org/2026/06/74-is-the-aur-only-for-muppets/ Mon, 15 Jun 2026 04:00:00 +0000 https://linuxotc.org/?p=640 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!

We get into Manifest V-3. We get into Mozilla, and their recent decisions. We get into browsers and we think the future may influence our decisions moving forward.

You're not going to believe this, but AI does come up in the conversation.

The discussion starts off about audio editing and just spins out of control from there. Joe and Leo get into a few discussions about some games available on Steam. We talk a little about the Steam Deck. The Texas heat is a topic. That leads to ideas about how to mitigate the heat in the home. AI in the home, ownership of software (or the lack thereof) and so much more!
