Episode 51: Is Telemetry Okay?

On this one, Matt and Tyler talk about everything. We run the gamut from subscription fatigue to Mint being Mint to Gentoo to Telemetry and Audacity. It's a long wild ride, so buckle up. Also, sorry that the audio isn't as good as normal. We had some OBS problems.

I tried about 5 different distro's including Gentoo again, guess what I'm using now ;D Matt – Kind of finished my new purple black and white DWM theme. Still needs some tweaks, but it's looking pretty good. Just in time for me to switch Window Managers, of course. NEWS Links (One each) (What's in the News?)
