 Hey everybody, welcome back to Linuxcast. I'm your host Matt and I'm Tyler. How's it going? That actually didn't work out too badly You remembered his name. That's good And I remember my name, so we should mark this down as a win. All right, so this is the next cast We talked about Linux see things like normal. So this we took last week off this week were a day late we have no schedule and I Totally forgot that the last episode we did we streamed so we technically this could have streamed this but I told you forgot So no streaming day you'll just have to watch it, you know after I edit it and You don't get any of the good parts because all the good parts happen before we actually start recording Anyways So Tyler, what have you been doing in Linux this week? To be honest I've been doing I mean like let's be real like what we are always doing in Linux Ricing our tiling window managers. I've I've been doing that in DWM really I just changed back to purple and I Still it still needs a little bit more work But besides that I've gotten well I did the right so that all my PC and like lights here will show up and this is the one thing It's really arching me if you look back here. What color is shining on this wall? I See purple You do oh Yes, I mean it's kind of bluish purple, but it's kind of purple I had the lights off and it was like really bright and we I was in a discord call with I Dylan a few others and Everybody was like, yeah, that's blue. That's that's blue like It's definitely purple, but I was saying it was showing up blue But anyway, I got my setup purple and I got the K 65 mini from Corsair put some custom keycaps on it and it's Superb and so with this new keyboard I have Not only did I get the keyboard because it's a nicer keyboard and I wanted something smaller but also getting the new keyboard sort of Incentivized me to go back and relearn typing so that I could touch type And it's going well and by going well I mean I I started touch typing and I went from five words per minute to 25 words per minute in about four hours. So it's good that good progress Yeah I was watching that stream where you were doing your your typing tests and that inspired me to switch back to Colmak and that lasted for about three hours and I went back to pretty When you said that I was like, I don't think that'll last long See what I desperately need for Colmak to work for me is Just a whole like week or two where I have to do nothing else other than do tests typing tests the problem is that just never gonna happen because I have other things I have to do and In order to really do that you have to switch everything you have to switch the keyboard layout You have to change the key caps around and you have to redo all your key bindings because Especially in VIM the VIM keys just completely are in totally different places So like in order to get to insert mode, that's no longer there because I moves down into where K used to be It's really weird. So I Really want I really like the idea of Colmak I just don't know if it's ever gonna happen for me because I don't think I'm gonna be able to put enough time into it to actually do it But yeah, I'm back on QWERTY And I mostly tough touch type. I have my own way of touch typing. It's not I Never use a pinky on either side. I use the other six fingers though. So I It's better than me. I went from just doing using these two digits to now using all four And I'm like, oh that like it's an immediate notice. Like yes, I'm slower and I'm like I It's one of those things where like when you have muscle memory and Like you're you can type fast Still the incorrect way of typing but still when you can type fast and you have that muscle memory relearning typing Where you've built a built your entire typing Style completely wrong. It it's so difficult like not only are you having to Re-learn something but you also have like ingrained muscle memory in you. It's difficult I've tried to go through and incorporate the pinkies like I tried like, you know That they have the the things that you were using where you know, it shows you how to do it I've tried but I just can't do it It's just too hard And and that's after like hours and hours of trying to do it just I Don't know if my pinkies are too short or they're just don't want to work. I don't know Well, if we're gonna be completely honest with how fast you type I don't really think there's a reason To try and incorporate the pinkies because I mean like what are you gonna do getting extra two words for a minute? Like I'm honest. I mean you wanted to do things correctly I just always thought that if I could type correctly, but you're probably right probably would end up going slower I don't know. I still do a type it I do five or ten minutes of typing tests every morning. It's on my to-do list I do it every morning when I wake up and To be honest with you, I haven't seen a gain in typing speed in probably five or six months I've done this now for a year and a half like I've done type test every single morning for at least a year and a half and When I first started I was at about 70 words per minute and that's about you know average or so and I saw good progression to the point where I got up to around a hundred words per minute, and that's where I've stayed now It's weird cuz typing tests at least when you're doing just the random word stuff is Slower for me like it because you had a process like I Don't expect the word thought to be followed by the or I don't expect You know one word to be followed by other because those words don't go together, right? You always random and so that's always a lot slower I can do like about a hundred work between 80 to 100 words per minute depending on how I go But if I do a quote like words that actually like mean something in a sentence I can do 120 words per minute Oh, and then when I'm just writing, you know, like regular for work or wherever I can do about that in Spurs sometimes it's like 20 words per hour The way I Think like mainly when it comes to those type of typing tests I think the main difference is like when it comes to like an actual like proper sentence You can read a sentence and then as you're reading the sentence following it up with typing But when you're when you're given those random words You have to take it one word at a time because there's no proper context for them So you can't keep reading. You're supposed to be the guys who can go really really fast Are really good at looking ahead so they can they can know if the next five words are Always know what the next five words are so you're always looking ahead You just remember what the word is and while you're slowly typing, you know, where and however slow you are You you're continually like building up a cache of those words in order to continue on So I've been trying to do that and I can do it now so that I can sometimes be too I'll my eyes will be two words ahead from where my typing speed is so it kind of works and it actually does make you a little bit more accurate because You don't if you know what word is coming next even if it doesn't go with the word You're currently typing you at least know what to type sometimes I'll type a word and if I'm not ahead of myself I'll type a word that I think is supposed to go next That's not actually the word that's supposed that it's actually there. It's really weird. Yeah, I don't I don't know If he because back in school we had like Mavis beacon in order to do typing tests Mavis beacon. What's up? It's a typing test lady It's a it's like a piece of software you just come on a CD-ROM Well actually in that in that case you probably came on a five and a half inch floppy disk because you got to remember I'm older than you man when you took computer classes in in like elementary school you got other go they handed you a five and a half inch floppy disk you put it in the The separate floppy disk reader because the ones that we had weren't built in and you could hear it cranking Hey, like you it was like grinding noise and then Mavis beacon would pop up and you that's how you learned how to type actually learn how to program with that kind of stuff too because You can go through and do I don't even I have no clue it like programming language It was it was probably something like basic or something But you know you went in through and put in like I want this pixel here because there was only like a hundred and eighty pixels for the whole string and you put it you Then I want that pixel there to be this color and then you could do animated you could animate stuff It was really fun. But that was That was like the it would have been like 98 or 99 at that point right right before the our school started getting like actual internet and real computers Anyway, so We've already had tangents Tyler We're already doing it. It's okay. All right, so I have also been rising up a storm I've done four different rices this week on DWM and save them all in separate files and I went through and upload them all separately to github because Either on the stream on Sunday or sometime this weekend. I'm going to be creating a script Where I can go through and change my rice based on a key with a key binding so I can do like controls Super control shift a letter or something or maybe a key chord even And it will just change to the Dracula theme or I'll change to the grubbox theme or I'll change the material ocean theme Or I'll change to the purple thing And it's gonna be really cool and I've got it all planned out. So it should work I Don't know whether or not that one will ever be something that anybody else can use because really required is gonna require Like my file structure in order to work But um, yeah, it should be a lot of fun now. I will go ahead and say this Just in case anyone's watching this and you want to see a nice beautiful Dracula Picture like a Unix porn picture go over to my discord and check out Unix porn Matt has shared his screenshot. It is Gorgeous You'll also be able to see on the video that goes up today because I did a video on it. So Okay, awesome, dude. It that looks so good Like I've done Dracula things before they never looked that good. I'm like, yeah I'm really happy with the way it turned out it. I even did I did a cute browser today and I added Discord and the telegram The the last thing I'll need to do is do the cute apps Because I'll have to use covantum to do that So that'll be something and that's always a pain and that took us to do Because you got to make sure you have the environment variable set in order to use the qtc5 Whatever the hell it's called Software it's just done Anyways, I was also on Tech over tea last Sunday and that was with Brodie Robertson and it was It was very fun, but it was very exhausting. It was three almost three hours long I don't know how yeah. I don't know how long it will be when he edits it Or I don't know if he edits it, but I'm so glad that I don't have to edit it because I I Can't even tell you the number of topics you talk about. I'm pretty sure I hijacked his podcast because he had topics Or he had talked to we're supposed to talk about he said at the end of it We only got to three of the topics, but it's not as if we just talked about three topics We talked about probably a hundred and fifty topics, but they're all ones that I kind of meanderd through I don't know whether now I've ever been invited back, but we did have fun It was it was very it was very entertaining, but by the end of that I was just so ready to be out of this chair I can't sit here for that long I'm so used to getting up every hour to stand at the desk for a little while so if I ever do it again I might have to stand at the standing desk, but now I hate to do this to you But what you need to do is you need to replace that desk With the same desk that I have also peer I didn't really peer pressure, but sort of peer pressured TFL at the getting he was asking about a stand-up desk. I'm like, man, you should get the one I've got He started looking into it. He's like, it's not that bad not not that overpriced. So honestly desks came up in tech over tea as well but So my current setup is I had a stand desk behind me. It was like a hundred dollars at Amazon and The reason why I have that instead of just like one like you have is because the desks that I'm sitting In front of right now is an oak desk. That's about 25 years old and It weighs Like a thousand pounds like this thing once it's in place. It does not move Well, I mean unless you don't want it to move because one of the legs is actually, you know Slanted because a termite damage probably So when you type my type too fast my monitors like shake, so it's not great So I need a guy and I needed a new desk but the point is like It's really heavy and I don't know what to do with it and like I Could probably just like bring in the sawzall or whatever and chop it up into little pieces and put it into firewood or whatever But it's just one of the things and I sure I want to do and even if I did go through and get rid of it I don't think that I'd get a standing desk now They make standing desks that are like corner shape like you can do a corner shape But they're not quite big enough for what I want to replace this with because if I'm going to do a new desk I want a lot of extra space because I Desperately need a third monitor like like I so need one because I need more workspaces It's not really true what I really need is just to be able to see more of my workspaces at the same time But I can't fit them the way I have now so what I want to do is the Right now this is sitting up in a corner and there's nothing over here against a swall So what I'd like to do is get a corner desk that goes from the window Which is right behind my other monitor and then goes all the way almost to the door But the standing desks that are corner like corner shape They're a little bit smaller now They fit probably through monitors, but they wouldn't be quite as big as like a regular L-shaped desk So probably what I'll end up doing is get one of those and keeping that standing desk back there So I'll end like you can't nobody can see this on camera, but I'm in a 14 by 14 room That's the whole room in this room. I have 48-inch oak desk. I have that 30 36 inch standing desk. I have a full-size bed I have a shelf and a dresser and a television on this little room. There's not much plus, you know me So there's not much room in here and I don't know how Like an L-shaped desk would actually fit in here while also keeping that standing desk But I don't know and if that if that L desk doesn't come apart like easily or as If it's a real pain like to take it apart and get it through there That's gonna be it. Like the only reason I don't like saying L-shaped desks Because I we had to move one out of a room and like those things you have to you have to disassemble them to get it out Of a room. I mean clearly and the one that we have meant it took me 45 minutes to get that thing took apart like it should not have been that difficult See once I have in place it won't move there's no where else in this room if you go It's just there's this would be literally the only corner that's available They can't go in that corner because it has you know two doors there. So I don't know it's gonna be something It's gonna be a while into the future because I want to I'm gonna do what I'm gonna go through and redo the whole setup So look at him standing up in a standing desk. Yeah, but that's what I was gonna say this right here Just this feature cannot be understated. It's so nice I've been looking man. They're very very tempting Because then I could get rid of that one I could get rid of this one. I don't know if I could find an L-shaped one That was big enough It's possible I mean like I'm even willing to spend some money on because desks are at like those L-shaped desks that I was looking at They're actually pretty cheap like 150 to 200 bucks. Oh really? Yeah, they're not bad I was expecting to be like really expensive because those last desks we bought where it was this fruit I mean like a real desk not that one This thing here was like a thousand dollars But it's made up. Oh I guess pure fucking oak like literally that's the reason why it lays a pound that somebody had to cut down like 12 trees Just to make this fucker It's good for the environment, I'm sure anyways It Well, I mean it won't be bad for the environment like until you get rid of it Then then somebody will make the argument that you're not doing good for the environment Let's see I could try to sell it But nobody's gonna take a desk that is the wobbles right and it I mean I could try to you know fix it or whatever but That seems like a dubious that kind of thing right like you don't want to buy something that's been fixed because Chances are the person who fixed it doesn't know what the hell they're doing and That's why I don't buy refurbished like electronics like the uh, I mean most likely they're gonna have fixed it properly But you don't know the technician who worked on that that one device there could be overworked Half asleep and just he got it to run but it has like major issues But hey, it's running and he ships it out not noticing the issues like yeah All right, so let's go ahead and move on 20 minutes and we're We haven't even got to the contact info But we are we are now If you'd like to get in contact with us, you can do so on twitter at the linuxcast You can subscribe to all of our new all of our feeds and stuff like that at the linuxcast.org Once again, I would like to say I am working on the website, but it's Slow going of eventually sometime next year You can contact us Via email at email at the linuxcast.org you can support us on patreon at patreon.com slash the linuxcast You can follow zany who's zany on the internet. Isn't it really miss, you know, tyler You can follow him on youtube and odyssey both of those links will be in the video description or the show notes So you can click on those make sure you get there because he's like It's just close to a thousand subscribers like we're gonna get him there before the end of the year Damn it because actually I have a nice little script where I can check I'm all I'm at I'm over 775 now. Yeah, see he's getting close Uh, I just passed just like five minutes ago 4500 so oh congrats Yeah, uh, we're we're still growing. It's uh, I can't That the thing is all right so in the middle of contact information. We're gonna be under As we should the the linuxcast channel not the podcast but the channel I started on september 5th 2020 So it's just over a year old um And in that time we've run from zero subscribers to 4500. So I consider this a very successful year Um, obviously I would too I don't know where I would be without the call out from the district tube. So You have to shout that out and just say thank you for that I do believe that I'd be at like around 2000 But that's just to me guessing because I was at 450 416 when that video was posted. So I was growing, you know on my own, but I wouldn't be nearly where I am now So, uh, yeah, it's a it's a year. So it'd be interesting. So You and I were talking I think was in the last episode or maybe it was somewhere else about social blade And social blade has future projections. So if uh You go to social blade and you look at the future projections for your channel It says that I'm going to be at like 67 or 6800 by the end of the year. Like I don't know how that's gonna happen But the weird thing is is it seems to be right? Um, because like I checked like your channel and it it it showed when you were going to get to 700 Uh, and you were at 700 by that good day. Like I keep track of other people's channels. That's really creepy but Like um, I looked at district tubes future projections and he actually beat it Um by like several thousand and because it said, um You don't believe me. I was like, I actually have a sheet of paper here where I have nodes Like I do so it said, um that district tube was going to be at 133,000 by september Like 14th or whatever and he was like 135 Uh, it says it said that I'm going to be at 4899 by october 8th And uh at this pace I'll beat that um Yeah, so it's I'm upset. All right. So here's the thing is I mean, we're still right in the middle of the context formation But I don't care. So as you know, I switched to iphone a couple weeks ago and iphone keeps track. Do not know that Yeah, I switched to iphone uh And uh iphone does this thing where it keeps track of how many times you open up applications throughout the day Like it resets every midnight and it'll keep track I mean, I think android will do it too, but I never used it But the reason why I know iphone does it because it puts a widget on the screen to the side And it says that I open the youtube studio app 10 times an hour So I I think I have a little bit of a problem Like it's so dumb, uh And i android it was worse because I had the At least when I first like was first started like really growing like actually like first I didn't care because nobody's watching the videos anywhere. So I was getting like five or six views of video Um, which I was ecstatic if I was like, there's people watching my video even like like one of them is my mother You know, like you know, it was one of them's your mom But uh Once I started actually Doing videos and actually started growing I was like I got that youtube studio app and I was I was checking it like Every two or three minutes. It was the stupidest thing Nothing changed in between those things like every once in a while I get like an extra subscriber and I'd have a party because all of a sudden I'm at five subscribers. I'm at 10 subscribers Now that I'm at the point where I'm getting multiple subscribers a day Like it it's so different because I'm so used to like if I get a subscriber in a day like oh like that's amazing And now I'm getting like handfuls a day where I'm like, oh Like it's still really awesome. But like it it's different because like When it's just one a day like you remember that username you're like Thank you, man. And then now it's at the point where I get so many where I'm like, oh like Wow, like I to me it's still amazing that I'm growing at the rate that I am like Genuinely cannot believe I think it's mainly because I've started interacting with more creators. I think like like you So I think that's really what it is. I'm right there with you. I'm still The thing like so like right now I've been averaging about 20 to 30 new subscribers every day and I think that's spectacular, but I've gotten used to it So on a day when it comes around where I get like eight subscribers Man, I'm so disappointed. I'm just down in the dumps and you can just I mean my it affects my entire Which is this the stupidest thing ever because like I understand I I'm so grateful for any subscribers that I get right but You get so used to having really good days So like I'm gotten to the point now Where all my videos pretty much always reach about a thousand such a thousand views like that's about my average now and It's still it's still growing really really good But that um that is versus android one that video just completely flopped it's my worst video that I've done in a month and a half and It just completely demoralized me like I don't even know why I'm doing this more. I'm gonna quit youtube I'm not doing it. It's just fucking stupid. Fuck you too. I'm Like it was just horrible. I mean first of all, it's still got 700 views. So it's not as if they're like really Uh, no My mom just came in and shared to offer me food Like I definitely want it but later That's funny So I don't know it's uh man Being a youtube being youtuber is weird because Because if you find any amount of success, which I mean 4500 subscribers or whatever or even 700 subscribers That's success of some kind But then you go look at like, you know line-ass tech tips or something like that Like I don't even have any subscribers compared to that person But it's all about, you know perspective like I think I mean I was ecstatic when I had 700 subscribers. You're ecstatic when you have some Like I don't even know what to do with 4500 subscribers Like there are people who watch my videos like Why do you watch my videos? There's so much else out there to watch Like it's it's the weird thing of like we all want the success that like especially like when it comes into the like Linux youtuber space like we all want to you know get to the size of like brodie robertson distro to like Channel size wise, but then at the same time It's so intimidating like if I had a hundred thousand subscribers like What like that because I I would feel like that would change the way that I view like the I I did a video where I titled it literally just me talking about a keyboard like that's literally all it was and I'm surprised that that performed as well as it did like it's literally just me talking about to keep my new keyboard Like that's it Yeah, I think that's going to be the biggest challenge as we both get you know bigger is to make sure we don't Change how we do stuff because that's how we gained what you know the Subscribers that we have is by being people that we are so um, I don't think that's going to be a big deal for either of us mainly because I don't think I don't think anybody's Subscribed surprised by this but neither one of us are doing this because we want to go out and get become millionaires Maybe because that'd be the most unrealistic thing ever. I mean even even if We get up to distro tubes, you know 100,000 130,000 subscriber count. We're still not going to be millionaires Like I could Like Tyler's not there yet So he hasn't gotten to monetize his stuff yet, but eventually he's we're going to get him there But I've been monetized since since like Like march and uh, I've earned About 300 dollars Oh nice, and I'm ecstatic with 300 dollars, right? But you can't level off 300 dollars in six months No, at least not in the united states. Maybe if you live in uh, you know an arctic or something where you can actually spend any money I don't know. Um, so yeah, uh, I mean that's just on youtube I remember earned quite a bit more on on patreon, which still just Shocks me that I have patrons Same I cannot believe like I it's not that I can't believe it's I'm so unbelievable Like I really hope the people who do support me over on patreon know just how incredible like that is like I Really really do appreciate and I'm sure you do just as much My first patron devon, uh, he's had some like technical issues where he's like doing a changing window managers or whatever and he asked me questions and uh, like I will literally wake up in the middle of the night if he has questions to answer those questions because That's how grateful I am that he gives me 13 bucks a month like I'm like seriously That's awesome. I think so anyways, um Believe it or not, we were in the middle of contact information when we got there So if you want to subscribe to the linux cat and we were almost done Literally was on the last line if you want to subscribe to linux cast you can do so at youtube.com slash linux cast Uh, I do videos almost every single day of the week Uh, I stream on sundays. I usually do some racing stuff. I do some ranty style videos This past week has been very negative on the videos like all my videos have been very negative but in tone I I pitched about the baldy for like 15 minutes. Uh, There was a couple of ones. I don't even remember what they were but uh, I I realized that I really need to start interspersing some more positive content and in in my in my like feed like I Am wrong. I'm still gonna rant about shit. That's gonna happen. But um I don't want the whole channel to be 100 negative all the time At least you're self-aware about it. Yeah, like most creators wouldn't even notice that they've been posting negative shit for like two weeks They just they just wouldn't notice it. It's just their videos like and I don't know It's it's nice to be self-aware throw some different Looks in there because I mean I I try not to do too many rants either and just go off on stuff I don't want to I don't ever want people to think that I'm a very negative person Like I'm really not the the the best stream you've ever done And it's it's hilarious because usually it's me that gets you started I Some oh it was the accounts based on github remember the because you had to sign in to github to use the dark theme Yeah, I dropped in there. You were doing something on github. I was like, oh github has a dark theme And you were like really? How do you get to it? Oh, you have to sign in and and An hour later He was still bitching about it was the greatest thing ever. I left and came back and he was still going I was so upset It was it was great. I'm glad it was recorded because that's the moment of internet posterity right there Remind me of that viral video that went around a few years ago It's like in black and white or something the guy sitting at his desk And there's probably a few of them like this right because once one video goes By a lot somebody else to go to copy it, but the guy sitting at his desk Typing and you know, it's an older video because he has like a crt monitor And his chair like breaks behind him So he keeps trying to fix his chair and stuff like that And you see this gets progressively more and more angry until the point where he actually Falls out of his chair because it breaks out of from underneath him. So he picks up the chair Just smashes it across his desk. The whole crt monitor goes flying He's just beating a shit out of everything in his office And then he just stomps on his the fucking chair and he walks up the door. That's the best thing ever It's so good Every once in a while I go back and watch that that video because it's just hilarious There's something amazing about seeing someone lose their crap Like there's just some oh man That's why I don't understand why anybody watches my videos because you could go watch something like that and be much more entertained I mean, I know I would Anyways, uh, thank you. Thanks everybody for subscribing and watching the videos. I really do appreciate it But uh, once you're done here watching this go watch somebody beat the crap out of their computer It's gonna be much more entertaining Anyways, we're uh, 35 minutes in He's just giving the news Not doing too bad Believe it or not. This is actually fairly quick for us All right, so every week we uh scour the interwebs to find ourselves News link to force to share and this week is no difference. Tyler. What have you found us? Well, um, there is a new ubuntu touch coming. Uh, it's ot a dash 19 It's coming out. Um, and it's you I mean right now you could do the pre-release version and do some testing on it you wanted to but They're This one I think is uh a very interesting update. Um Only because they're fixing some like Some like really Oh voice cracked there. So that's how bad it is. They're fixing some really bad bugs And patching a whole bunch of security issues that they've had for Some might say too long. Um, I think most people would say too long, but that's besides the point. They're fixing some much needed security holes and It's going to be based on uh ubuntu 20.04 Which is nice. Um, and this article here and then talking about this new one actually may be, um Go in check. So I have an old pixel XL and uh, they're rolling out, uh, Much more support for different devices. So if you have if you have an older device and you've been interested in trying out ubuntu touch or um, I don't know about other linux, um Operate phone operating systems how much they've come? But um, I went and checked and there's a lot more devices that they have added support for and the google pixel It's very close to being fully supported Now are you sure that it's going to be based on 21.04 because it says in the article 16.04 Uh, no, uh, however, if you're looking for uh, wait, hold on Um You until you finally port to ubuntu touch the oh wait Yeah, it should be based on 20.04 Oh, oh, yeah. No, never mind. Never mind. They're pushing to to get to 20.04. Yeah that I misread it What? Well, it's because you're probably so surprised that uh, by the time they get to 20.04 22.04 will actually be here See Now I understand that they're a small team, right? They're just, you know, very very small team Uh, but they're so far behind man. They're just so so far behind Um, at this point, I'd say skip 20.04 and just stand 16.04 until 22.04 comes out and then work for that one See if you can at least get try to get caught up because otherwise you're going to be trying to push to 22.04 when 24.04 comes out And you're always going to be perpetually four years behind Um, now it's not a huge deal because you're 16.04 is still supported. It's still getting security updates from canonical but it just feels like it's behind so you I mean and The thing is that is that developers aren't going to keep the You're not going to grab a lot of developer attention When they have to focus their app development on such an old platform, right? Because they're going to be developing for the new stuff uh, not this, you know targeting the older platforms so, um I really wish they'd find a way to be a little bit further ahead. Um, I do too, but I do I do give them the, um I don't know what I was I I give them a lot of wiggle room in the fact that they're The tasks that they have undertaken is a especially for their team size is insurmountable. There is The fact that it actually works on more than two devices is insane. They've done very good work Makes you wonder if they would be better off with a rolling release model where it just kind of Like they just keep, you know Improving on the packages individually over time and then those go out instead of having to do one package here And then another release, you know a year from now. That's all you know the same thing They just constantly are reiterating on things kind of like I mean maybe a partial release You know where the kernel and the underlying base stays the same but the packages are always being updated I don't know how manjaro Like the phone edition of manjaro or the I guess it's arm But anyway made for phones the phone version of manjaro. I I'm pretty sure they actually like it's not actually rolling release It's held back for a little bit and then implement it Yeah, because I I the the problem with doing the roller I don't know that this would be the problem But I would assume this is probably very likely if you go the rolling release model Especially when it comes to this type of development for phones you You it's a it's a pick and choose. So you you either do rolling release, which means the software is going to be much more up to date but you have to focus on not only Making sure that the new updates don't break anything or Fixing those and the software side of things and so it it holds you back and especially again with a team this size It holds you back and being able to add support for other devices So it's a do we work on older software that's still stable that we can Work on adding more support for or should the software be the best that it possibly can Yeah, it's uh, probably six of one half dozen the other kind of thing Now, I mean if they had the development power of you know, like much bigger like linux teams I feel like they could definitely do both but with their team size. It's got to be difficult Uh, I mean all around what they're doing is difficult That's because there's so many phones. They have to target, right? It's just so many every phone has a different chip. It has a different gpu different, you know modem and all this Men and they're starting from scratch like there's they don't have any work to build like I mean Samsung Samsung ain't giving Ubuntu touch or any linux distro some help when it comes to making software or making an os for their device One the new ones won't even probably allow it at all anyways because once you Unlock the boot loader you you know your camera stopped completely working. So Yeah, it was anyways, yeah one of these so Somebody asked when I made that iOS versus android video why I didn't switch to a Switch to a linux phone. I was like, well, I need applications um And people have asked me why like about you not getting a linux phone Like they've asked me and I've had to tell them like well, he likes clash of clients and stuff like he can't just Leave and people will get like why don't you like they try and tell me to peer pressure you to switch to something That you wouldn't work for you like what that makes no sense for me linux on for me linux on mobile is Where linux itself was like 25 years ago Um where it's really cool Uh, you can get it to work and it can be your daily driver if you really really put a lot of effort into it But and you're willing to make compromises. That's important. There's going to be things that you're going to miss Uh an app support is just going to be one of them. Uh, that's the way it was On linux back in the early 2000s in the 1990s, you know, it had some applications and good alternatives that were being developed but uh for people who just are getting into linux, you are spoiled rotten compared to where linux was 20 years ago um Even even 10 years ago. You have no idea how much you're spoiled. Um, so Just be very grateful and that's where linux on mobile feels like it is to me now Uh, and the thing is is that linux itself was developed much faster because it got adopted in the enterprise And you know, a lot of people were using it and that it doesn't feel like a lot of people are using linux on mobile Whatever variants there are And that's going to be a problem for gaining people to develop applications So if you get like a ubi ports thing, what you're going to get is you're going to get the applications that ubi port itself has Uh developed for it now there are other applications stuff like that because uh Like gtk the later gtk stuff and gtk 4 and stuff like it is is been developed in order to And tice developers to make their apps responsive. So when they get smaller, they you know They continue to function so you could use like uh, nautilus or whatever on both the desktop and the the phone And it's actually the same package Uh, just it's just responsive like a mobile like a website um, so that's going to save things too and that's That's why I think that the the ubi port stuff is more interesting than the plasma stuff because uh The plasma stuff is still doing that kind of stuff too, but it feels like it's further behind a little bit in terms of that area plus Well, I rail against, you know, I'm in its lack of customizability on the desktop on the phone I don't really need that customizability until it works I mean if ubi ports and the the gnom based stuff that they're doing is uh, you know Was perfect and then then I'd want to rice it But first make sure I can make phone call and do a text message, you know, yeah And if we're being completely honest, I feel like this is maybe universal It's probably universal if you look at plasma and then you look at gnom Gnom has the appearance that oh This works on desktop, but this could easily be transferred over to a phone ui Yeah, it's not so much. Yeah, I mean obviously it can but Still like if you take a visual first impression from the two I think you're gonna go with gnom is probably the more likely one to make into a phone ui I think I think plasma will get there Uh But I think it's gonna I think they're a little bit behind But now you're gonna remember I haven't used either of them so it could be completely off base But either way, uh, the reason why I can't switch to it is because I need Games and applications and stuff that just aren't available on minix. I'm old yet So so um now this is going to be a complete tangent before you get to yours real quick Now that you have an iphone are you now buying air pods a mac book a mac computer all that stuff? You're doing it, right? No, but I have thought about an apple watch Um because those are really cool as someone who has one. They're really nice. They're really nice. Um, yeah Just started exercising again And I kind of want to get into the you know closing the rings kind of thing like maybe it'll be motivated to do it this time, um So I've been thought about the problem is $400 seems I mean I'm I'm the guy when I want to watch I go to walmart and spend $20 on a watch Same I'm too cheap. I'm too cheap like I don't uh Like it took me a while to get away from t-shirts Now I have these collared shirts and I look all spiffy and stuff But um, this is about as dressed up as fashion wise. I'm ever gonna get Uh, so I don't need a thousand dollar watch Because it tells time just as well as that $20 watch that I got from walmart, you know So and I also don't want something on me that I'm probably going to lose like I mean if you Let's say you go out with friends. You get a little hammered What happens when that watch just like and if it's like I mean if it's a $20 watch, you don't have to worry about it You lose your a thousand dollar watch cheese Yeah, you're devastated and that's yeah, that's one of the reasons why I'm a little iffy on the The iphone the apple watch because it's $400. I mean you can get the cheaper ones But I mean if I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get the new one. Um, and um I'd be very very worried that I'd either lose it or I'd break it or Uh, or I wouldn't use it. You know, it's possible that I you know Because I still have my android phone here There's a good chance that my sim card goes out of my iphone and do the android phone Sometime in the next six months because I that's why I have both. I can switch back and forth Well, I will go ahead and say if when it comes to the watch as somebody who owns it Um, if you don't wear watches all the time, don't buy it because I'm someone who doesn't typically wear watches So mine collects dust way more than it should Yeah, I had I'd have to force myself My biggest problem when I was wearing watches because I always decided that I wanted the biggest fucking honking watch that I could get Because I have I have a big meaty hand, right? I mean this thing takes up the whole camera, right? So I can't get one of those little peony ones because it would make me look like I was wearing a woman's watch like Like somebody asked are you wearing a woman's watch? No, it's just I have a big ass fucking paw here and You know, it's a regular sized watch, you know You're the opposite of Linus tech tips. You don't have them tiny hands. No, I got I got big meaty man paws All right, what's your news link? By the way, we're almost an hour in we haven't made to the main topic yet. This is ridiculous All right, so Real quick my link Is raspberry pi base pi kvm goes to kick shutter? So basically from what I understand that basically this is something you could hook up to like a computer or a server or something Like that that would allow you to interact with it and turn it on and turn off and stuff like that with This little tool here and it sounded really cool. So I'm obviously not an expert at all but the um The reason why I've linked to this is because the raspberry pi just seems to constantly Uh allow people to do really neat things like this thing here um And you know, there's nazis and there's keyboards and there's full-blades can full-blown computers that do use the pi now It's just so good and it always makes you think matt Why have you never had a raspberry pi before? Like I've never had I've never owned one and I always look at one like it's not as if they're expensive or anything I spend More on stupid shit than I you know, like I spent $30 on a twitter client by the way on ios because Don't give me no don't let me start it on that. Um, it's dumb. What? You spend 30 dollars on it I have to get you started on it. What? All right, so Ios apps have moved almost universally to a subscription model for all their in-app purchases So if you want to get uh any of the features or you want to change themes or anything on any app pretty much You have to spend four dollars ten dollars a month to do this Sometimes it's like thirty dollars a year Even that to me is too expensive because I do not want a recurring charge For any application on my phone. I just I don't I I couldn't justify ten dollars a month on an app. I don't care what features it gives me Yeah, see, uh But the thing is is I do almost all of my twittering on my phone like almost all of it Um, I mean I have tweet deck on my computer all the time, but most of the time i'm on the shitter I'm on twitter Twittering, right? Yep. Okay that one Anyways, uh but so The application on ios that I used to use when I was on ios before was called tweetbot And it's really good and they've always had a paid model and a free model And the free model was just like pared down and you could give them money I was like I always gave them like the ten dollars every time they came out with a new version It was like every couple years It was fine. That was the way you're supposed to do it, you know and just Here have a little bit of money. I like supporting third party developers or whatever Even if it's proprietary software sometimes uh So I downloaded that again and they moved to the switch subscription model and uh, I was like first of all fuck No, I'm not giving you any amount of money recurring because I'm going to forget about that recurring charge And i'm still gonna i'm gonna be 95 years old and still paying for a twitter client That's tazamin developed in years, right? So, uh I was like i'll just use the free version, but it turns out you can't even tweet from the free version You can't tweet. You can't retweet. You can't do anything. It's just a viewer At least as far as I could tell Yeah, it's dumb Uh, I don't care how well design your app is that's just dumb. So i'm not giving you any money So I don't learn a twitterrific and twitterrific also has the stupid subscription model in order to get rid of the ad advertisements Which were really annoying and do several things, but you can use the free version and it's fine um But I want the like I said the ads are really fucking annoying So I went into the pro versions like you know fine. I'm gonna figure out a way to I'm gonna find a twitter client that I just I just give them some money and get rid of the stuff I can get a thing. Uh, so that's how I ended up spending 30 dollars on a twitter client because they have a lifetime Thing you can just give them 30 bucks and you have all the features for as long as that exists Um, so that's how I ended up with 30 dollars. So when I got this phone I budgeted myself 50 bucks for applications because it's but I haven't used an iphone to 2018 I switched back and forth every three or four years. So I knew that I was going to spend some amount of money on applications um I what I did not expect was that Of like a two-thirds of my budget would be spent on a single application So yeah, uh, that is uh Uh, I've told the story now a couple times. I did it in the video ios versus the android I said I talked about it on tech overtee. Um, and I understand people are looking at me like man You're a fucking moron Like how are you not homeless right now because you obviously have no money sense whatsoever Uh, well, I think the really sad part would be if you stop using twitter in like two months Yeah, I mean that would just be the real sad part. I don't think that that's gonna happen. I've been on twitter since 2009 Uh, I'm pretty well addicted to it at this point I do a good job of staying away from the nonsense twitter like the politics and stuff like that if you talk about politics I don't I don't follow you I just I follow people who do technology and twitter and linux and stuff like that and If my little niche and it's fun, it's you're fine Uh, so I don't I don't have the problems with twitter that other people seem to have but um The the real thing is that eventually Uh, I will switch back to android and then that 30 dollars will look like an even stupid approach Because I can't transfer it over like it doesn't happen But the thing is I've spent money on twitter clients on android before but it's never been that expensive It's usually 10 bucks like 10 bucks makes sense to me like 10 bucks sounds like a good price for Any application it does. I mean if you get some use out of it 10 bucks seems like a reasonable price 30 dollars seems Really really high That's steep that that is steep But apparently that I mean they realized See the thing is tyler is phones used to be like an expensive phone Used to be like 600 bucks when the first iPhone came out like 600 dollars That was too expensive for people on apple like a month and a half later lowered it down to 500 bucks And even and that and that was at the point where you signed a two-year contract and got it for like 50 bucks, you know all the contracts and whatever they lowered they Uh, I don't remember what the word is but they you know incentivize you to buy this stuff I mean they still do it these days, but whatever um The problem is $600 now. They're like, cool. That's a really cheap phone I mean, what's wrong with it? Now now $600 is a budget phone Well, I mean it's not I mean really it's not because I mean they have they have two or three hundred dollar phones Yeah, but I'm talking like budget flagship. You're gonna get all of the features of a flagship phone. Um And then you have like the the iPhones and everything like the main flagships are like a thousand dollars You can go up to 1100 dollars And then you have like the foldable phones that are like two thousand dollars like first of all man I have like top of the line I have a rise in 3800 and a Radeon car here and I got all everything in that computer for like 1500 bucks like all of it brand new and That's cheaper than you can buy a fold. Uh got a samsung fold for like Uh for the same price as a galaxy fold you could go out and get yourself a nice Beater car to get you from point a to point b and that thing would last you as long as you treat it right You're like three to four years easy. Yeah easy. Yeah Well, I mean that and people people buy that those phones every couple years So if you take that 1800 that you're gonna buy the second time spend the second time and put it into that car It will get you even furthered on the road Like every every two years you put that 1800 and you replace the tires and uh, you know the The brakes and stuff and you know, you got a car probably for the Rest of your life, man. You're good as long as you replaced oil to remember placed oil. Yeah It's just phones are too damn expensive. It's just so dumb like this. All right, so I did not get the latest iPhone. I bought an 11 pro max, which is two years old at this point And it was still 800 dollars And by the way, this was not A new phone. It was a refurbished phone. So I didn't even get a brand new phone And it was 800 dollars. Um, and I considered that a fairly good buy because It was done. It was refurbished done by, you know, company that trust and um And because like the the the phone from last year is still going for like 1200 dollars Even though the the 13 just came out And it so that didn't go down in price at all and I was like, we want maybe I won't switch to iPhone this time because I You know, maybe I'll just pick up the the samsung from last year They still used to be the samsung's they'd come out and almost drop in price almost immediately That didn't happen this time. It's still like 1200 dollars to buy the the the most recent samsung Just not the the non full kind, you know, the Regular bog standard galaxy s 20 or whatever that was. Uh, and that's I think that's it. I think This is the most expensive phone I ever had and for the first like four days. I didn't have a case the case that I ordered was like hadn't come yet. It was still in the mail and I was freaking out the whole four days because I just knew I was going to drop this damn thing And I was going to be so mad at myself. So I got the otter box thing Like it was it's like a $20 case and now I'm and I got a screen protector on here And now I can be as rough with it as I need to be I am much more calm about it now because if I've broken this thing this thing has to last me for three years At least I'll be pissed. All right. Um Oh, yeah, that main topic thing, you know By the way now we're at an hour long epic You guys are getting an extended podcast. I hope you're happy I don't know. I All right, so our main topic for this week. I I'm who who whose topic was this? I think this was um This topic was uh good lord notion. I think it was yours. This was my topic. So we can uh Oh good. That means I'm supposed to remember what I was thinking when I came up with this topic great so, all right The question we have to ask Ourself today is does linux have a future? And what I was thinking of this was because I've heard several linux podcasters talk about google's fuchsia Um, and they all seem to think that in the future Everyone's going to transition to using google fuchsia as their Operating system of choice for servers and devices and everything. Um, And I don't know why people think that this is going to happen I'm very confused because as far as i'm aware fuchsia does run on a device. It's like a of a photo Player or something. I don't even know. Um, and so it's really really early days and I don't Like I'm not as well right up on fuchsia as I probably should be but Do you think that eventually? Whether it's fuchsia or something else that something will come out and displace linux As it is right now You know to be the main like Server-based operating system because obviously we're talking mostly about servers here Yeah, um I I don't know like I I feel like they're they're they're definitely will be something that It won't kill linux, but displace it eventually I but for me, I think it's more likely that there's going to be uh Like a bsd that just rapidly improves and it's like To me like I think in the server space like if if open bsd was to somehow get uh for some reason A lot more attention a lot more dev work And the hardware support and like enterprise support for open bsd was to like vastly increase over a couple years I I have a feeling that like when it comes to servers and like what actually runs the internet Open bsd would be probably the thing that comes over just because of its heavy focus on security um But when it comes to like servers and something made by like a lot of servers too like they won't even A lot of servers don't people who run servers don't actually end up using windows Only because the support isn't worth it and a lot of the times the Uh, there's a prevailing theory, which is Definitely very accurate that the nsa has back doors into just about every major operating system Made by companies and so I I I think there's a uh in the server space There's a much more focus and desire for a very secure and uh stable system And I don't know that google will be the one to do it um All right, so here are my thoughts um microsoft got their toll hold into security or into server in enterprise basically by default because They people were familiar with windows. So therefore they kind of just went on and Decided that they were going to use windows for the server base as well um Linux has like crawled into that space and become very dominant I don't see a future where a company chooses to use a google-based operating system willingly simply because it's controlled by google like if if it was today and windows was just coming out I don't think that companies would go through and use a Microsoft operating system Simply because it was based It was it came from microsoft. I think they're there because they were kind of there, you know by default um I don't think that google has the trust to be an operating system used by other people in the enterprise space Uh on their servers and stuff now I could be completely off base on them because people do use android obviously, but it feels different to me like you if You have like other servers that manage your android phones And stuff like that. So you still have some control over android stuff and android is based on linux So people have that underlying idea that at least is a summer open Um, and you have some control with your management stuff and stuff like that If you also have a google controlling your servers, then you have even less control And I think that the reason why linux does so well is because no Single company has control over the kernel now obviously the linux foundation Which does the linux kernel is supported by every major corporation? But they do it as a pool like none of them have full control And I think that's why linux is so um Appealing to companies because you know that it's not just google having control over the whole thing It's not just Having control over the whole thing. It's a Vast group of companies that put towards resources and it's controlled Kind of like adjacent to the limit to to those companies because it's controlled by You know Linus Torvald and you know the linux maintainers and stuff the same guys have been doing it from the beginning So I think that's the reason why Linux has been so successful in the enterprise space. I to answer the question, you know, finally after that long yandering thing um I think that it the thing that will eventually Replace linux is just another version of linux because I think that eventually Uh The kernel will get so big that it has to start being pared down Like some of the legacy stuff is just going to eventually have to go away And we've already seen that stuff go away Things like floppy disks and and stuff like that has been pared out You know and you can still get that but you have to get older versions of the kernel Yeah Uh, I I think when it comes to enterprise too One thing that we can't overlook is the fact that google is a massive tech company and if you're an up-and-coming tech company or um for that matter just a company in general you Probably don't launch your trade secrets. Um, or just the secrets of your company to be managed by a potential competitor um And also too. I I think even even in the enterprise space. I mean, we're We're all human. Okay, and I I feel like as humans it's very scary the fact that google Owns essentially the Almost all if not close to all of human knowledge. They well, they own it but they control it Yeah And so giving them more control over like enterprise and business Trade secrets Stuff like that. I I don't even know that the government like any government would let that happen because that's It's just too risky. Yeah, well That and the thing about linux is that it's international, right? It's it's developed by an international team No single country has you know control over it either and If google let's say google's future ended up being really good it'd be really hard to get that outside the united states because very few countries are going to trust a uh An operating system that was solely developed on by a company here in the united states And we see this now because a lot of governments and stuff like that are moving to linux For that very reason. They don't want to have to rely on microsoft now. What I was saying Is that I think what what comes next is a complete? Like It's not gonna happen right overnight, but I think slowly over time The linux kernel will kind of transition from being written, you know in a symbol in c++ into something like rust And it will kind of be it'll kind of be the same thing, but a lot of the older stuff Will just kind of fall by the wayside and not get worked into the new kernel Now whether it's rust or some other programming language. I don't know And I but I still think it's going to end up being linux. It's just going to be In a new development language and I they've already been talking a lot about incorporating rust into the kernel Um, it hasn't happened as far as I know yet, but I think I think eventually it will happen Because while c++ is still very popular the number of people who are studying c++ and Our experts in it is slowly dying out in favor of newer languages like python and and rust and all these other things So eventually they're gonna have Those new newer languages are going to be into the kernel whether linux or walls like it's it or not So I think that I think the way he looks at it is that this is going to happen We might as well Make sure that as it happens it's very well monitored and it's just not something that we do All at once very forced because somebody else came in and did a takeover of it or something By the time he retires or something. I don't know. Um, so It's it's going to be very interesting to see what the future of linux is But I don't think maybe this is just the optimist in me Which is weird because I don't usually take that role But I don't think that linux is going anywhere just simply because But I think that linux will transition over time to something a little bit different just you know Eventually the legacy stuff will have to go away Yeah I completely agree. Yeah So so for those linux podcasts out there who thinks that fuchsia is going to be like the future of everything Um, I don't think so because I don't think that people trust google or not Maybe I'm just hopeful in that area that I hope that people don't press google or not Yeah, because if if we come to a point where fuchsia is on all the supercute computers and rules the enterprise world where We live in google world Which we basically do already anyways in the consumer interface. So anyway, yeah But at least now we can pull a veil over our eyes and it's not Not as noticeable. It's not, you know, it's not as clear as day. We can use linux, right? And linux still exists and we need to fight for that future. Make sure linux stays existing Yeah, because I mean if I would really like to not live in a world where fuchsia is the standard And if you're using something else like there's a lot of stuff you have to give up that Rather not Do you really want to use an operating system from a company that abandons things like google does? Because eventually they'll get sick of google or they'll get sick of fuchsia and move on That's the reason why they're doing fuchsia in the first place is because they're sick of doing android Like they want to cancel android eventually so and move on to the next thing. That's what google does is they move on to the next thing I wouldn't be surprised if the link for fuchsia Is like the uh link to like almost like the link to stadion now where you just go to it It's like a 404 error like or at least it might as well be It's dead like this people Did you even try stadia? Did you try stadia? I did try stadia. Um, now you don't remember. I'm not a gamer like Like a pc gamer. I'm not a gamer pc gamer like at all. Um, I tried it and it was um It was okay. You know like it was fine but there Not a lot of games there There's not a lot of games there now. I've heard g-force now is really good because you go it'll go through and it will Tie into your steam library and you can use all your steam games there So i'm going to try that out because that sounds really fun And I still can't get battlefront 2 to actually work. So um, I will go ahead and say just so you don't have like your expectations too high Um, even though it does work with your steam account. So you don't have to like buy games There it it won't have All of your steam library there Past stuff there, which would be really disappointing That's what I really wanted for because like I said, I cannot get battle from the star wars battlefront 2 to work I press the play button And nothing happens Like it will go through like the Vulcan stuff that it does every once in a while for the first launch And then nothing after that it just hits play pauses for a minute and then goes back to the play button And I don't understand now. I thought maybe it was like maybe i'm missing a dependency or something So uh, I checked and I didn't have wine installed. So I installed wine and all the wine stuff I don't want to try it again. It's still gonna work. Thank you. I don't understand Now the one thing that I will say that typically ends up working is you don't have to use it But if you if you go to uh glorious egg rolls proton and you download that You have to go through like the install process and one part of it is getting yourself out of wine dependency hell and like you got to install a whole bunch of dependencies and For some reason I felt that that doing that improves regular protons compatibility and like performance quite a bit All right, when you get a chance, send me the link to that, would you? Yeah, no problem. We'll do because otherwise I'll forget. Um, because yeah that I really want to play that game Like I remember playing the game from 80. I can't get to fucking launch. All right. Anyways Uh, what's hilarious is we spend an hour on bullshit and then 10 minutes on the main topic Mm-hmm. It's okay. Um, at least we made it to the main topic. That's you know, that's what matters We've done that before. All right. So every week we do picks we it's can be an application or something else It literally can be anything it usually ends up being an app. Um, but it can be anything So tyler, what is your app of the week this week or pick of the week? Mine is liquid ctl and um, you can go to their github find it there. Um, it is a fantastic cli tool for managing your aio water coolers and Different rgb devices. It's primarily for aios But it does work like I inside of my case here I have a corsair case and it comes with I think it's called the corsair node But it's where you can hook up, um, like rgb devices to it and control it through that And that works fine in liquid ctl. Um, so does my aio It's not a hundred support with like a hundred percent support with aios, but Uh, as long as you have a mainstream like popular water cooler, it's it it it should be supported So it's mostly just to control Um rgb, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, you can also set fan speed pump speed stuff like that. All right, that makes sense As I was going to ask you what the difference was between this and open rgb was Yeah, they uh, the only difference is it's like it has the same functionality as open rgb But with more aimed towards aios in particular And and that that's what I really like about it is because I've I've used open rgb And I typically do use it, but I've been able to replace open rgb with liquid ctl completely And because it doesn't come with a gooey app. Oh, I'm pretty sure you can get open rgb without a gooey, but anyway Just because it's not really an option. It's much more lightweight. Which is nice cool, um, I have no rgb I don't know if that makes me a loser or what because I I can't see my computer anyways. It's behind the monitor. So it doesn't really matter to me, but I uh, I have no rgb And like to be honest the only reason I have rgb is because the stuff that I wanted came with the rgb like I don't know. I'm not one of those people who goes out of my way to have my computer like Light up. I mean, I I really don't get the mindset behind someone who's like it makes my computer better like I don't and we were joking adding you add racing stripes to your car. Of course, it's gonna go faster All right, uh, so my app of the week is let me see if I can see this It's called better tweet deck. So if you if you not the type of person who spends $30 on a twitter app Um, and you just use a free one called tweet deck You can actually download this browser add-on called better tweet deck. It's available for chrome safari firefox edge and opera So pretty much all of them You can download this and it will actually give your tweet deck a whole bunch more options So you can change the size of the columns more freely You can go through and add a whole bunch of options for multiple counts You can change the color of the icons and the color of the application to Some app some at least a few different colors than what stock tweet deck allows you to do And there's a ton of just little little tweaks That make tweet deck more powerful in terms of you know How you reach tweet from multiple counts how you like things from multiple counts saves you a few clicks for that It's really good. Um Somebody on twitter pointed me towards this and now I can't really kind of do without it because I have multiple I have the Linux cast account and I have my like personal account And um Basically what this will allow me to is when I click the like button on a tweet or whatever It will bring up a little window and ask me what count would you like to tweet from? um, and uh You can do this through regular tweet day too, but it's like four or five extra clicks And this way this just comes up and I can hit you know like from the linux cast or whatever And then I don't go through and like it from my personal account, which you know, I Tweet out regular You know nonsense with so uh, yeah, that's better tweet deck. I'll obviously links links to both of these will be in the The show notes if you want to check them out So, uh, yeah, so that are that's our pics of the weeks And I don't know what it is about recording videos And doing podcasts and stuff, but usually by the end of it. I have the itchiest fucking nose It's like For me for me. It's always like I don't know why like I'm not sick or anything But like towards the end of a podcast or a long video my nose starts running. I don't understand why I'll never understand why someone knows like I'm sitting here. I'm rubbing my nose like you guys probably think I'm picking my nose Like I got boogers up here But no, it's just it's you're them balls That didn't even help it's like It's so stupid anyways So that is it for us this week. Uh coming up next week We're going to be talking about make new software or just contribute to Existing software. That's Tyler's topic. So that should be very fun.
