The Video Version

0:00 Cold Open
2:55 Searchin' with Kagi
27:13 Resistance Is Not Futile
49:09 The Firefox Kill Switch!
1:04:15 Discord Backtracks & Next Time
1:15:02 Stinger

We start off with a little on how our Kagi search project is going. And it'd be going a lot better if Leo could stop weighing the pros and cons of each search and their impact on the quota. Also, a little about Orion and why its tabbed layout is much better than the rest.

Then, F-Droid is back in the news with a new lament about the dwindling amount of time left before the September Sideload cutoff. Time to make a little more noise, it seems.

And finally, Firefox gets the long awaited Kill Switch, but was it actually backtracking? We make the case for why that might not have actually been the case, but welcome the toggle either way.

Oh, and in Next Time, we accidentally slip in a small segment about Discord and what backtracking actually looks like! More on that in a future episode as Discord is where we are a lot of the time.
