In this episode, John dives into Debian’s game-changing decision to weave Rust into its APT package manager, aiming to boost security and stability for millions of users. We break down what’s driving this bold move, why Rust is catching on in major projects like the Linux kernel and Firefox, and what it all means for maintainers and the broader open source community. Plus, we cover recent tech headlines—from Meta’s ad controversies and Mozilla’s translation fallout to industry responses following a major UPS and FedEx incident. All that, and more open source news, with an Aussie touch.
