@thelinuxEXP Hey Nick did you happen to see the video that system76 used from YouTube, on there Cosmic DE talk at LinuxFest Northwest 🤔 I'll give you one guess who's channel it was.

Ah yes, I see it’s time for the people in shorts to kick the ball again, as hundreds of people who have seemingly lost all politeness and semblance of being human beings shout, scream, and « sing » in the streets and take up every single cm of the walkways with their cars.

I can’t wait to move so I’m no longer close to the f**king stadium. I hate football and football supporters so much, it turns into irrational anger.

thelinuxEXP OP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

Did I know my current flat was « close » (10 minutes walk) to the stadium when I bought it? Yeah.

Did I think people would be so obnoxious and the city would have 0 parking spots around the stadium? No. Seriously, what makes this acceptable when it’s football, but when it’s people protesting, we sent the police to hit them with sticks? Insane.

@AngryAnt So true it hurts.

@slembcke I do, but I don’t impose it on other people by being loud and obnoxious 😂

@fell@ma.fellr.net avatar

@thelinuxEXP Sorry if this question was answered before, but why are your videos usually 50 FPS instead of 60 FPS? I would say 60 FPS matches better with the devices that web videos are usually watched on. Is there a reason you chose 50 FPS?

thelinuxEXP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@fell I live in France, where light bulbs flicker at 50hz. If I record (and when I did) at 60fps, I get some nasty light flickering in the background, which some people didn’t notice, but others really did :)

I realized that I never explained the various differences between all the different kernel variants, and since my Patrons and YouTube members voted for me to cover that topic, here we are!

I’ll go over what the real time, low latency, TKG, Zen, Liquorix, XanMod, Libre, LTS, or hardened kernels are, and which one you should pick!

https://youtu.be/_idZGJ1NgPE

thelinuxEXP OP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@ponda I’m pretty sure it’s just the generic Linux kernel, with fsync patches added to improve performance on Windows games that run with versions of Wine or Proton that have fsync enabled

thelinuxEXP OP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@bargoderea That would require live patching the kernel, Ubuntu offers such a service, a regular sponsor of the channel, TuxCare, also does, although I’m pretty sure they don’t support Arch based systems!

Facebook/Meta starts talking about the "Extend" phase of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish as predicted:

"“You could imagine an extension to the protocol eventually — of saying like, ‘I want to support micropayments,’ or … like, ‘hey, feel free to show me ads, if that supports you.’ Kind of like a way for you to self-label or self-opt-in. That would be great,”

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@fabio @Techaltar @dansup @jwildeboer Yeah, honestly, if there was an easy way to support me on PeerTube, I would much likely promote that first instead of YouTube. I would at least try to push PeerTube first for a while to see if that worked out.

Same for the podcast on Castopos, I would invest more time and effort on it if it could easily be user supported without having to mention Patreon in each episode.

thelinuxEXP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@Chocobozzz @fabio @Techaltar @dansup @jwildeboer It’s just a link to another payment system, with no integrations inside of Peertube though (unless I’m mistaken?)

Something like financially subscribing to a channel to get members-only content, or just setting up a « each time I watch a video from this person, I want to pay 1 cent automatically » sort of preference, these types of things :)

Well, my game didn’t go well, as I tried out a dumb Dread Mob list with a Stompa! Sisters of Battle wrecked the poor thing with multi meltas, and did the same to my Gorkanaut in the same turn.

Losing half my army in one turn left me struggling, we finished the game on 53 to 75. I drew horrendous secondaries that I could never score, and my poor Ork boyz got slaughtered by the Triumph of Saint Katherine. Still, insanely fun game, and the Stompa exploding caused a lot of damage!

thelinuxEXP OP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@stallmer I play almost every week, but I don’t talk about it much, since that’s probably not what most people expect from this account :)

Still, while 40K isn’t awesome right now, at least in terms of mission design, I’m having a blast. Since I stopped caring so much about winning and just strted playing to have fun, it made the game a lot more enjoyable 😁

thelinuxEXP OP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@markusmunch @stallmer Sure, I could post some pictures at some point !

thelinuxEXP OP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@markusmunch @stallmer Here is my Ulfthak, that Inpainted a few weeks back, for example! Nothing super fancy, but decent enough, I guess!

Video of a Warhammer 40K Ork warboss names Ulfthak, painted and rotating to show all angles

thelinuxEXP OP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@markusmunch @stallmer That’s so cool! I really want to get a Knight as well at some point!

Painting is my escape as well, you just turn your brain off, it’s fantastic!

thelinuxEXP OP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@markusmunch @stallmer Not the same kind of miniatures, but equally as gratifying!

thelinuxEXP OP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@kopio @stallmer Yeah, I used to be very annoyed when I lost to one of my friends who always brings ultra competitive lists, and also plays really well, but nowadays I don’t care as much.

I won’t do secondary objectives that I don’t like or wouldn’t fit the narrative I want to build, and if it means I lose, I’m ok with it!

@petit_suisse I have no clue what you’re trying to say here.

Iif you watched the video, you’d know it was an attempt at depicting what could happen, in a humorous fashion.

Taking any of this seriously is, well, frankly very weird.

@thelinuxEXP I can't really find myself in your view on TikTok with regards to its importance in your latest podcast.
I think TikTok videos because of their short length are actually really well suited for learning and news.
I have learned so much from watching TikTok. for example now during the war on Gaza i have seen so many video from Gaza that i would have never seen from regular media.
the length allows me to get more manageable amounts information which I otherwise wouldn't have learned

thelinuxEXP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@youpie My issue is: you only see a very small fraction of the topic, that has no time to properly explain a viewpoint, the events, or the context.

It’s just too short for properly documented news and tutorials. It forces the person making the short video to omit a lot of details, or to take shortcuts. I think it’s entirely unsuitable for anything serious, personally!

thelinuxEXP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@youpie Issue is, you’ll often see just one part, and never the rest, leaving you with a half fact :)

I’m not saying it can never be useful, it just cannot be as useful as a platform that also has recommendations and longer form content.

Time for the audio podcast of the week:

https://podcast.thelinuxexp.com/@tlenewspodcast/episodes/why-google-sucks-now-us-bans-tiktok-ubuntu-2404-and-fedora-40

thelinuxEXP OP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@bargoderea @tlenewspodcast They say they’re private, but they do collect a ton of data for their own use, and for ads in their AppStore.

Basically, I needed/ wanted a really good camera for video, high refresh rate screen, not too huge, no Google services, no phone from a Chinese company (made in China isn’t the issue, just don’t want the base OS to report to China). At the time, it didn’t exist on the Android side, or at least I couldn’t find it!

thelinuxEXP OP ,
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar

@bargoderea @tlenewspodcast The issue is, these ROMs didn’t support the phones that were suitable for the other criteria :)
It was either good hardware with bad software, or mediocre hardware with the software I wanted.
In the end, the iPhone worked better. I still look around regularly to see if the situation has evolved, and when comes time to change phones, I’ll probably move to a FairPhone.

Ubuntu c'est de pire en pire : https://news.itsfoss.com/ubuntu-24-04-disappointment/

Et je vois encore des gens le recommander aux débutant·es…

Faut vraiment arrêter, Ubuntu est un produit d'entreprise qui n'est plus fait pour les débutant·es depuis des années, il leur est même hostile.

Une bonne manière de recommander une distribution Linux est de discuter des besoins, envies et cas d'usage d'une personne, de chercher et tester… Pas de balancer un « Bah utilise Ubuntu ! » immédiatement sans rien chercher à comprendre.
