Meh. I feel like the community has just drank the Tupperware lady's punch with #linux and keeps developing this trash "year of the desktop" bullshit that looks like Windows/Mac and is just as bloated. I'm running #nixos, very tweaked zram configuration, and #fluxbox on a shitty HP consumer laptop, and it's a FIESTY little bitch who wants to be a beefy workstation. Takes 2 gigs of ram only because I have #chrome open. https://www.zdnet.com/article/im-a-linux-power-user-and-i-recommend-this-distro-to-newbies-and-experts-alike/

  If you're looking for a sensible operating system that takes a practical approach to the desktop, OpenMandriva is worth a look.

  @praetor @rms Tech radio - with lots of *good music*. Taste is something to argue about (hands out blunt axes).
  The usual podcast/youtube stuff is too daft, too neat, too tech obsessed while missing out on its cultural relevance entirely.

  @praetor This, Linux marketing keeps imitating proprietary marketing or plainly fcks it up.
  With Raspberry it's super clear: "thou shalt not have any eyecandy, ever, we's sewious peoples hea".

  @verymetalsite Well...i hate marketing, and marketers. Passionately. Because I popped out of my mama and the first scent I experienced was @rms ripe pits. We need install parties, user groups, I'm doing a livecoding gig at a coffeeshop to show off the power of #linux. We need to show it off and what it can do like in the Usenet days, That will grow end-user adoption.

  Long time lover of your show!
  I'm still working on getting music back into the show (It's probably been two months? Since the show was very meaningfully musical. The fedi artists who shared their music are all incredible though.
  I think instead of me disc jockeying, I need to get artists to DJ their own/adjacent stuff live, while we also do retrofuturistic interviews, lisp, moo, gopher and things.

  I love it because I get to chat with other DJs and guess what? They're into music.
  Their reaction to the Vincent Holden album, Taste Of Mud, was very reaffirming.

  Eh, I borrowed the term from https://interlisp.org - where we had Larry Masinter talking about interlisp medley, which is something like a virtual machine port of the 80s d machines to modern day. Interlisp is both futuristic and from the 80s. Actually lots of the future is from the 80s, isn't it? We need to go back to the future.

  I got into doing chat in the historical (and current! Retrofuturistic!) https://lambda.moo.mud.org (sdf's moo has never worked for me for some reason, though it's been a long time since I tried).

  Great, because I've got church on wednesday. This tuesday probably isn't the best for me either. I'll make a reminder.
