Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 81 ratings
  • Almost the only honest show left

    Well worth listening to… host is pretty funny most of the time and has a lot of background in the tech industry. One of the few REAL Journalists left in the field

  • Covers taboo topics in software

    Reports on highly questionable behaviour in open source projects. Suffers backlash of cancel culture from political extremists taking over large open source projects. Highly recommended 👏

  • Too meta

    I think Lunduke's one-trick pony is being meta and unserious about literally everything. Everything is twisted into his same old narrative all the time and it gets extremely boring so quickly.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview: Redot, 1.5 Years After Forking from Godot
Q: How do you approach that? Do you guys want to distance yourself from the political perceptions?
We acknowledge it and continue doing what we do, fostering a focus on technical changes rather than just protest.
Interview: Redot, 1.5 Years After Forking from Godot
Q: What does the rest of the year look like? What's your plan for the rest of 2026?
We've probably got the next two versions semi planned out and a bunch of features that we want to add to 26.2 and 26.3.
Raspberry Pi Banned from Zohran Mamdani Inauguration
Q: What was the logic behind banning Raspberry Pis specifically?
The ban appears arbitrary and lacks a clear rationale, as it allows other devices that could pose greater risks, like smartphones, to bypass restrictions.
The Unpublished Anti-Lunduke Hit-Piece
Q: How would you reply to this? There have been very few murders linked to individuals associated with Antifa.
The host agrees that a broader group shouldn't be held responsible for the actions of a few but emphasizes that the messaging of Antifa tends heavily towards violence.
The Unpublished Anti-Lunduke Hit-Piece
Q: You do recognize that the vast majority of organizations using the term Antifa as a descriptor are not in the least bit terrorist and pose no threat to society?
The host mentions that many individuals declaring support for Antifa within open source have made statements encouraging violence and discrimination.
