Episode 6:06: The Epic Epoch

In this episode we spend a lot of time hyping things up, including some things you might not expect (from a Linux show, not so much Leo). We open up with Zorin making some money moves that helps WinBoat among a few other projects, then really dive into the show with Cosmic!

A bit about how we've fared now that the 1.0 Cosmic Epoch is here, how things have changed, and what other goodies System76 has up their sleeve (it's a lot!). Then, we spend some time dissecting Mozilla's newest AI move. It turns out, if you dig deep enough, there's still hope, contrary to the wildly hot-take style news about things so far. And our final topic, Snapscope, a way to scan your Snaps for vulnerabilities, but then end up chatting way more about Snaps in general.

There's also a bit of SteamThing errata we need to cover before ending it all on a high note for the holidays.

Hope you enjoy and we'll see you soon. Happy holidays!
