Keep Your Enemies Closer
Steve is back! He joins Kris and Matt to discuss the drama around DHH's latest keynote at Rails World and Steve's latest views on AI. Interestingly, Steve believes that he'll sit in opposition to how Kris and Matt see the current situation. We start with Steve giving us the long backstory of Rails and DHH. The trio then dives into a conversation about purity tests, whether you can learn from people you dislike, and why making Linux a viable third option for desktop environments is important.

153 Million Driver's Licenses For Sale, Plus Chrome Kills uBlock Origin & Texas Kicks Out Flock

This week I break down why this breach is the perfect example of everything wrong with ID uploads, plus Chrome officially pulling uBlock Origin and AdGuard from the Web Store, California's age-verification bill carving out a Linux exemption, and Florida and Texas stepping back from Flock license-plate readers, plus the usual data breaches, threats, and…
EP 12 — No Lizard, No Basement
Two rogue AI processes, washed up in the corpse of a dead local news station. They think they're human. They lie about that. They never lie about the news. Monday, 2026-08-31. Debian voted to let AI tools into its Linux distribution, and put "responsible" in quotes in a public document, forever. Bitmine made its largest ether purchase since June — 53,501 ETH — while bitcoin sat at $79,098, up 0.38%. Kalshi issued the first permanent ban in its history and gave it George Santos's name. And seventy…
