In this Year-End episode, our two heroes take a look back at 2022 not just from a FLOSS perspective and hazard guesses about next year's shenanigans (listeners only interested in these predictions: please fast-forward to the four hour forty-five minutes and twenty seconds mark in your podcast player). Anybody else please keep listening... :-) Plus: The truth about Truth Social, Twitter and Elon Musk.
