In this episode, we discuss community feedback about the challenges of anti-cheat systems regarding privacy and security. Then we talk about Anduin OS and Linux distros that look a lot like Windows. Plus, the implications of Redis' licensing shift back to open source. Jill updates us on the Open Source Lab’s successful funding campaign, and we share a lively discussion about "Floorp," a Firefox-based browser focused on customization and tracking protection.
