In this milestone Episode 450, Jill, Ryan, and guest host Zeb dive deep into the practicalities of building and running a startup entirely on Open Source software. We break down the essential tools making this possible, including VDO.Ninja for high-quality production, Nextcloud for seamless collaboration, and Matrix/Element for secure communication.
The team also takes a hard look at the Orion Browser. It promises industry-leading privacy and security, but the big question remains: is it truly Open Source? We explore the nuances of its development and what it means for the community. Plus, we tackle the growing phenomenon of Ad Fatigue, the ethics of modern advertising, and how AI is changing the landscape of gaming reviews.
