Ok.. #job alert.. #freelance

Hmm wondering if anyone can help me with a #linux question.

I'm running #nixos with #gnome 48, and even though I disabled automatic updates and notifications in Gnome Software.. still, every day, I get a notification saying "Updates are out of date" (even though when i click on it, it shows no updates)

Oddly enough, this is also happening on my project #nixbook , which is cinnamon (but still running gnome software)

How can I stop this!?!?!

@killyourfm I can only imagine. I've done some endurance multi day cycling and it leaves me feeling a way too. Both physically and emotionally.

Do you find it deeply healing though? As if these emotions had to come out at some point

@killyourfm oh dude I didn't know you were out here. Nice. If you find yourself up in Olympia, WA let me know, id love to take you out for a coffee or meal. Gorgeous area this is

Don't do it kids! I've seen this movie.

@steter watching from up here in Olympia waiting for it to hit

@Infoseepage @Nonilex cell phone charger lol

Man, they just don't make batteries like they used to!!

@thelinuxEXP @killyourfm you're both amazing content creators, and we're lucky to have you in our industry!

@killyourfm hahha your right. Everything gets smaller, except gpus which now likely outsize and weight motherboards.

So glad I only game on my deck haha

Excited to announce that I'll be speaking again at #lfnw2025 #lfnw LinuxFestNW!

This year the talk is:

"Building a Chromebook replacement with NixOS"

Description in the comments! Of course I had to do another talk about #nixos and #Linux

"As Linux users, we often install Linux for friends and family, but many struggle with updates, packaging quirks, and system maintenance—leaving you to fix issues and them frustrated.

Instead of simply suggesting they get a Chromebook, what if we could create a similar experience with NixOS? My Nixbook project delivers automatic updates, easy Flatpak app installs, and sane defaults for everyday users.

In this talk, I’ll share how I built it and made it work flawlessly."

#Eagles defense be like "why just stop them when we could just TAKE the ball?!"

#FlyEaglesFly

@stumblewyk @nfl I feel like we're getting a quarterback sampler this game

@ATLeagle of course now we get to try in McGee

Eagles fans right now:

"OK Pickett, will give you another shot. Not bad. Not bad at all..."

@Nickiquote it's getting harder and harder to find simple devices that just do their job.

@killyourfm haha indeed. Cheers! And yes, ironically I've gotten some of my fave old Xbox 360 games going on the deck too.

I don't even consider myself a big gamer, but the deck and steam make me feel like one. And it's great.

@killyourfm ok well how about this. Theyre owned long-term. Games I bought 10 years ago are still installing and playing. And I can even share with my kids.

That's unheard of in console land. You end up buying those games over and over.

I suppose that's what I meant. Buy once and always be able to install and play.
