  • They ditched Micheal

    Jill and Ryan separated from tux digital?! Michael started it, he got injured, is still doing Twill, and the new site does not list him as a host?! Disappointed. Very uncool.

    The hosts being so excited about AI makes me want to unsubscribe. I usually like this show, but I’m one of those with the pitchfork at the gate.

  • Came for Linux, stayed for the grat vibes.

    Started in 2024 with some reservations, but the show really grew on me. Maybe there isn’t an extreme amount of technical content but these are beautiful people!
