  • Not about you

    The listeners come for Linux news (which you do very well) and not your political side comments.

  • Injects his (far left) political opinions too

    On the March 29th/30th 2025 episode he injected his far left politics when discussing Brave because the CEO donated to something the host dislikes (but Obama supported at the time too). Get them for the technical issues, not your personal political views.
