40:32: write in and tell them about the following. - love the show - timestamps for show (community driven if not from them) - love to hear (maybe as an episode -1 or something witty) - think about looking at castbox as a 3rd party forum that you don't have to host (that is how I leave a lot of my feedback with timestamps as context)

27:35 when using the extension I don't lose any speed at all, which is very nice! One thing that you can't do with it is select a region of the world that you want to proxy from, and on other vpns you normally can do that. Their vpn only let's you (I guess) select the closest endpoint. The reason why they claim they went with cloudflare, is because they were the only ones who could comply with their privacy policy. "The Firefox Private Network proxy server is provided by our partner Cloudflare. Their strong privacy controls limit what data they collect and how long they keep it." https://www.cloudflare.com/mozilla/firefox-private-network-privacy-notice/ Also, a point of comparison to normal vpns. This "VPN" or as they are calling it "Private Network" will currently only work with Firefox traffic, and that is because it is using proxy servers ("The Firefox Private Network proxy server" (https://private-network.firefox.com/) is from their website). It isn't setting your systems proxy eit

my two cents for the wiki: make a drop-down menu like how python does it. make the text the same for all versions at the start. then mark current version as autogenerated until it is checked manually. you can then check the autogenerated pages manually as up-to-date. make it easy to vote up that a autogenerated page is ok for anonymous users.

but MATE is really bad in terms of QoS when it comes to productivity, even the ability to click the pop ups is missing

I love your gaming conversation and having worked for a game company in the 90's, mainly Windows and a Mac release, gamers in general are haters. I wonder if there is a correlation between Linux game and Linux Windows haters. So much wasted energy. Thanks for the awesome show.
