The Ubuntu podcast #podcast

🕘︎ - 2021-07-10

I have been listening to the Ubuntu podcast for quite a while. Sometimes it has been hilarious - the first episodes where the Wing Commander appeared spring to mind - and sometimes "just" interesting talk.

In this weeks episode they shilled Microsoft VSCode and Microsoft Edge, and argued the advantages of the proprietary snap store by Canonical. I mean, diversity is fine and to each their own, but what is next? Advocating switching from Ubuntu to Microsoft Windows 11 and Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux?

Maybe it's just time for me, here in season 14, to take a break from the Ubuntu podcast.

How to in excruciating detail…

To avoid spam many websites make you fill out a CAPTCHA, or log in via an account at a corporation such as Twitter, Facebook, Google or even Microsoft GitHub.

I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.
