In this episode of Loud in Tech, we discuss a variety of tech and culture topics. We start by discussing Remy van Elst's love for tinkering with old hardware, specifically the HP Jornada 720. Van Elst showcases how he runs modern Debian/Devuan on his Jornada and argues that devices should allow root or administrative actions to give users more control. We then move on to a recent article that argues DevOps has devolved into an ineffective practice and suggests shifting towards platform engineering and enabling developer self-service. We also cover Reddit CEO Steve Huffman's plan to allow users to vote out subreddit moderators, a study finding that the diabetes drug metformin can prevent long COVID, and Mercedes-Benz's new concept car inspired by the Avantgarde movement. Finally, we discuss a variety of other topics, including the potential for open source projects to generate revenue, common mistakes in A/B testing, and the release of phpBB version 3.3.10.
