Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 6:01: Yet Another Clanker
Q: If we were to do kind of a multi-episode thing, if you were to pick one of those two to just kind of check in, which one would you choose?
Maybe Cosmic would be the right call since it is a little more mature.
Episode 4:08: Cholesterol Free
Q: Did you come up with the mouse mascot?
In 1998, I was contacted by Chuck Mead, who offered to sponsor the creation of the domain xfce.org and its website. Chuck knew an artist who designed a few logos for me to choose from.
Episode 4:08: Cholesterol Free
Q: What do you believe are the reasons for Xfce's long success?
It's contributors, no doubt. And also, we might have done something right if people still enjoy using it.
Episode 4:09: Giddy Up
Q: What are your thoughts on the recursive installation of PipeWire?
I ran the system control start whatever thing, and it was like, I don't know what service you're talking about.
Episode 4:09: Giddy Up
Q: Is the higher authority just Mark?
Yeah, essentially, but it doesn't matter. I mean, they have a market that they wanna try to push this to.
