In episode 452, the crew dives deep into the \"In-Between Dystopia\" of AI layoffs and whether we are headed toward a Star Trek-style post-scarcity economy or a Mad Max wasteland. We also discuss why governments are finally breaking up with Big Tech to build sovereign stacks like La Suite, and why this is a massive win for the FOSS ecosystem. Plus, we look at Firefox’s return to its roots, the latest security blunders in the \"Heap of the Maggots,\" and a surprising Linux update from GOG.
