+We talk about using Bing and Edge (what has the world come to?). Is it a stoat? Is it a drill sergeant? No, it's an AI, and possibly a thieving one, but shouldn't we rethink IP anyway? Maybe the bot can cook better than Mike, idk the bar is low. +Then we switch to Gio, a UI toolkit for Go, Amolith and Mike talk about their projects. Thirsty? Try making kombucha, you'll only need to know some biochemistry.
+Mike's Binging it
+Amolith's turning AI into small woodland creatures and military personnel using Chatbot UI
+Today in Focus AI episodes
+Amolith ferments his own moonshine tea
The obligatory Wikipedia article
+The what of the what?? Article on making kombucha - includes terms like SCOBY and pellicle, so you know it's the genuine... article.

+Ireland showed England how to play rugby, raising cheerfulness. We discuss a command line that's not your grandma's bash, more like a next generation UI that can be genuinely helpful even to non-techies. Shane, for one, welcomes his doomscrolling robot overlord on Mastodon. Mike's been playing with Go. Write to us for EP 100! Do it.

+ +]]>Debian, also known as Debian GNU/Linux, is a Linux distribution composed of free and open-source software, developed by the community-supported Debian Project, which was established by Ian Murdock on August 16, 1993. The first version, Debian 0.01, was released on September 15, 1993, and the first stable version, 1.1, was released on June 17, 1996. The Debian Stable branch is the most popular edition for personal computers and servers, and is the basis for many other distributions. You would not have projects such as Ubuntu, Pop OS, Linux Mint, Elementary OS, MX Linux and indeed Zorin OS without the hard work of the Debian developers so go to https://www.debian.org/donations to donate in any way you can. This can be time, money or old equipment.

+ +]]>Technology brings with it countless benefits to society but it also brings with it a real potential for misuse and unethical practices. Fighting for privacy and against censorship and surveillance is not something we can do as individuals so we would like to shout out organizations like the EDRi and Digital Rights Ireland. They fight against the relentless march of big tech and oppressive governments who if left unchecked would seriously infringe upon our civil liberties. The internet is still very much a social frontier so it's important to support and promote advocacy groups will hold these people accountable.

+linuxlads when ordering.LibreOffice has released version 6.2 with the NotebookBar available from the view menu, rather than as an experimental feature. This could be great for people coming from Microsoft Office
+The Raspberry Pi Foundation opened a store. Some people have been skeptical, isn't this similar to Games Workshop which seems to be thriving? The place is slick, it looks like an Apple Store.
+Fedora are designing a new logo. The lead developer uses free and open source tools only. She would like constructive and respectful feedback, but she felt forced to disable the comments on her blog, because some people just can't help being jerks.
+New Plasma is out. Bluetooth devices now show their battery usage, Firefox 64 can now optionally use native KDE open/save dialogues. Also, improvements to Discover. Jason Evangelho's openSUSE challenge.
+Is Linux ever going to be for the "average non-technical user"? Is it ready now? Should it even try? Jason Evangelho's article on Gaming without Windows. SteamOS could be just an appliance with its Big Picture. What about technical but new users? Should they be given Ubuntu or Linux from Scratch.

+Check out the OMG Ubuntu articles for more info about the PineTab and the PineBook Pro. +If you want a Linux tablet now, UBports is available for the Nexus 7 (just be careful to get the supported version).
+Not to be outdone, Purism revealed more info about the the PureOS Store.📱
+More about Librem 5 apps in the lower half of the product website. +PureOS is not going to be the only choice of operating system on the phone, users will be able to install for example Plasma Mobile. Hopefully the Librem 5 won't follow the destiny of Firefox OS. +They are also planning a subscription of ethical services bundle.
+Steam Play now allows to add non Steam Windows games. Games that ship with their own native clients can now launch with Proton from inside Steam for Linux. According to reports some games actually perform better that way.🎮
+Steam also released new stats for 2019, Linux is sitting flat at 0.82%. +Gabe Newell, president of Steam makers Valve, on Steam, Windows and Linux. +Some examples of non-games in the Steam store.
+The Lutris open gaming platform has a new release, 0.5:
+The GOG Galaxy app.
+Kodi 18 released.
+By the time of release, LibreELEC have already released a version based on Kodi 18. OpenELEC are still on 17.
+Gnome speed enhancements for the 3.32 release due next month.💻 +This is a very good news, since Gnome happens to be the default DE on many distros. Thank you, Gnome devs, Canonical devs and everyone else who contributed.
+Firefox 65 is out now comes with:
+about:performance now reports memory usage for tabs and add-ons.Also, Firefox 66 will come with client side decorations! Right now, users can enable this with a toggle switch in the Customize settings, from the next release it will be enabled by default.
+Akira is to be a graphical interface design app for designers. The dev is running a Kickstarter campaign to pay full time devs for a few months + hardware + taxes. More info in a Linux Unplugged interview.💶
+Akira the anime.
+Update your boxen! Ubuntu security notices site mentions a tone of recent vulnerabilities, and they all look very scary, so update, people!☝️

+ +]]>Gnome and Pop!_OS. Top Icons Plus is a necessity, yet the developer quit (see the Warning). Gnome Online Accounts for seemless cloud integration. Gnome Tweaks enable customization. Gnome can be conceptually compared to macOS
+The Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface doesn't play nice with Linux, so Conor has to use Windows 10 to record on. Skip signing into MS Account. A lot of junk litters the start menu by default, remove it. ShutUp10 is useful tame the OS. Windows design team
+We need consumer grade recording apps - Audacity is great but to complex for some of us.
+Fedora 30 is to get a Deepin desktop option.
+Deepin 15.9 released with touchscreen support. There are other touch-friendly options: Gnome, Plasma Mobile.
+DuckDuckGo will use Apple Maps for its local search. OpenStreetMap might be a better fit, but how is non-tracking search engine going to make money? iCloud hack.
+Purism are going to create a convergent store for mobile and PC apps. F-Droid is a freedom respecting store on Android. Anbox let's users run Android apps on other platforms. Elementary OS AppCenter attempts to help Linux app devs monetize their creations. Federated app store would be a win.

+ +]]>Emby went proprietary but you wouldn’t guess that from the release post. Never mind, the Plex media server alternative has already been forked under the name of Jellyfin. Good luck to the developers (and unlike the Emby people, we mean it). Forks can turn out great, Libre Office came from Open Office after the Oracle Sun acquisition and now it’s the open source office suite.
+Mycroft is to postpone delivery of the Mark II due to manufacturing issues, from this December to Q1 2019. No refunds, for anyone put off by this. Hopefully when it comes, it will be better for it, to compete with the likes of Amazon Alexa.
+Firefox version 64 is out with multiple tab selection but without the killed off Live Bookmarks. Is it because of Pocket? Not as big as the Quantum 57 release.
+Microsoft to discontinue EdgeHTML (via hacker news) and base its Edge browser on Blink. They have an interest in the Blink ecosystem because of Electron ecosystem - very nicely explained on Coder Radio. Microsoft’s decision left many people and organizations like Mozilla worried about the future of the internet. Edge is going to join the club with Opera, Vivaldi, Brave and other Blink-based browsers. Are we going back to the terrible old days of Internet Explorer 6? Browser specific CSS. Duck Duck Go it if you don’t want to Google it - and go JavaScript - free on DDG Lite. Or if you are a master ninja of the search engines, use Searx to bind them all and unleash true power with DDG bangs!
+Konsole now fully supports Emoji characters (_via Phoronix _ ). This is rather nice for Telegram-CLI and Oh My Zsh. alias 🤣='play_linux_lads.sh'.
Fedora is to take time from their 6 months release cycle to fix up their infrastructure - interview on Linux Unplugged.

+ +]]>Samsung’s Linux on Dex magically turns Android into Ubuntu 16.04 on high end devices. It’s another stab at convergence. Canonical tried with Ubuntu Touch, the project is now maintained by the UBports community. The Librem 5 crowdfunding campaign was propped up by corporate purchases, could big IT departments buy Dex in bulk?
+New Deepin’s out and boy does it look sexy in the screenshots. Compare with KDE Plasma or Elementary OS. Inspired by Mac OS but open source. The Chinese distro has been a focus of a ‘spyware affair’. Lenovo’s Superfish scandal. Red Star OS. Bloomberg’s spying hardware story.
+Mycroft have been raising ton of money and are hiring. It looks like the project is still going strong. They have investments from all sorts of places. The Mark I might not have been a serious competition to Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, but the Mark II is going to be better. Maybe it will even know what beans are. You can give it a try on a Raspberry Pi, Linux PC or an Android device as well. Mozilla’s speech recognition.
+Purism might be shipping the Librem 5 dev kits in December. The Librem 5 will be as much privacy friendly as their laptops are now.
+New Apple computers might or might not be able to run Linux. Apple might be completely switching to Arm. Meanwhile, Microsoft has been flirting with Qualcomm. Intel and AMD might be in hot water.
+Going ‘open source only’. Use Open Street Map instead of Google Maps. pCloud and NextCloud can replace Dropbox for cloud storage. Could we ditch proprietary social networks? Mastodon, Diaspora, MeWe - could they replace Facebook and Twitter? Could we use one to infiltrate the other with tools like cross posting? We need to redefine what a social network is. In some places Facebook is the internet. Social Network the movie. China practically lives on WeChat. BLOCKCHAIN. Could Hyperledger be the salvation? Is it user friendly enough? Is Trump daft or pretending? Back at the point: F-Droid and Collabora Online. Have a look at a list of various cloud services. Linux doesn’t work for everyone, as EposVox would attest. Kdenlive and OpenShot to the left of him, huge studios to the right, but he’s stuck in the middle with his proprietary platforms. IoT. Google Fuchsia. Microsoft Windows 10 IoT. Raspbian and Ubuntu Mate for the Raspberry Pi. Oh yeah, there are also the BSDs.

+ +]]>Red Hat was bought by IBM for \$34 billion. Hopefully Fedora, Gnome, Centos and other Red Hat supported projects won’t be hurt by this. We are still smarting from the Oracle Sun acquisition.
+Canonical published some stats collected by their installer (via OMG! Ubuntu!). No concrete numbers, only percentages. Trusting Canonical with stats collection.
+Ubuntu Mate is now available for the GPD Pocket2. Now in correct resolution and the right way up. Download from here. The device reminds us of something…
+Mozilla is gonna trial partnership with Proton VPN to help us keep safe online (via Joey Falon). Good source of income for the browser maker. Proton are known for their email service. Secure, reliable and easy-to-use VPN is good for all of us.
+Solus posted about the current situation of the project. The first post was followed by the second one and by an open letter from Ikey Doherty after the recording of this episode. Looks like Solus braved the stormy seas and is sailing into calmer waters with a good crew on board. Transparency is important and the bus factor is something to be aware of.
+There might be a new Linux based phone next year! The folks at Pine64 are hoping to offer us a Plasma Mobile based alternative to the horrors of Android and iOS. It should be much cheaper than the Librem 5. We yearn for a phone that is not restricted by the vendor, so 2019 might be the year of decent mobiles. In the mean time LineageOS and Replicant might help, if you happen to have the right device for it.
+The amount of Windows games avaiable on Linux through Proton is over 2,600, according to ProtonDB - a great source of information, if you want to know what games work and how well. You can log in with your Steam account and check the games you own too. Similar to the Wine Application Database. Fair play to Valve for hugely contributing to gaming on Linux! Let’s spread the word about how awesome our OS is these days. Related technologies: DXVK, Vulkan and DirectX

Or use Emby as an alternative. Need a storage for your movies? NAS-up with openmediavault on a Raspberry Pi. Some configuration might be needed.
Ubuntu-based betas are looking crisp:
+Lubuntu now on LXQt. +Don’t care for the hype? Linux Mint just works.
+Some say that Flatpak is a ‘security nightmare’, others like OMG Ubuntu, point out that you can’t blame a tool for how it’s used. Portals could help some of the issues.
+Etcher ignores privacy settings via [Ubuntu Podcast] https://ubuntupodcast.org/2018/10/12/s11e31-thirty-one-dates-in-thirty-one-days/). If this bothers you, there’s always UNetbootin and ddrescue.
+Linus Torvalds is addressing his non-cuddliness after publicly apologising while Linux is getting code of conduct. Be excellent to each other (apparently, that’s from a film).
+Facebook got breached, Bloomberg claims that there’s spy micro hardware on servers and Google don’t even bother any more - should we? Stay safer online with Mozilla’s guide.
+Google+ is shutting down, is this the year of Mastodon and Diaspora? You can find us on Mastodon. Twitter is trying to deal with abuse. Social networks should be interchangeable with everyone having an ID that could log into any network. Something similar, but for data could be Tim Berners-Lee’s new project Solid.
+Microsoft joined the Open Invention Network to ‘help protect Linux and open source’ and donated 60,000 patents. The Free Software Foundation says ‘keep on going’. The GPL protects code contributions to the kernel. Could Windows OS run on the Linux Kernel? Should Linux be the only OS? Is this the year…
+The EU might allow copyrighting data generated by self-driving cars. Not much news about this from either the EU or the press. The JohnDeere travesty. The right to repair movement.

+ +]]>The pleasure of dealing with small projects and why we need people forking, fragmenting and generally doing whatever they feel like. Small projects (VisiData, qutebrowser) make users feel like they are really part of something. Bigger projects (LibreOffice) do have the advantage of wider and more diverse user base.
+Bug reporting needs to be easy. Automated reporting - good idea or a privacy hell?
+Should communication with users and media be a number one priority for larger open source project? Is Linux Mint’s no press approach vs Monero’s incessant broadcasting. Balance rules. Engineers need marketing (up to a point). Canonical does marketing through community, just like the non-commercial KDE and Gnome.
+Cult of personality in tech. Prompted by an article in the NY Post. Even Elon Musk, Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison are people, can we/should we separate the personality from the work? Non-tech people like James Cameron can act like jerks too. Do certain roles require certain personalities? (This episode was recorded before the recent events around Linus Torvalds and the kernel Code of Conduct)
+Trying to keep your privacy while browsing anywhere near Verizon’s Oath properties like Yahoo and TechCrunch means that you’ll need to go through the Oath cookie maze of death. Their “privacy dashboard” can be found here. Should there be a single-button cookie offswitch?
+If advertising stopped, would it kill the internet? Is the attitude towards advertising changing? There are alternatives: a paywall like the Irish Times or voluntary contributions like Wikipedia and The Guardian. The benefits of both.
+Government-enforced encryption backdoors - Five Eyes are moving to force tech companies to “voluntarily” add backdoors to their products. Argh! Not much crime fighting for the price of everyone’s privacy and security.

+KDE released Plasma 5.14 Beta. Discover can now use fwupd for firmware updates.
+Canonical’s going for a Software Center revamp
+Software centers are important, Ubuntu Mate’s Software Boutique hits the spot.
+How do we discover software? Mostly word of mouth, a podcast or an article. There is a very useful alternativeTo website where you can find Linux alternatives to software from other platforms.
+AMD beats Nvidia in kernel contributions but Intel still contributes more. Hopefully Intel’s discrete GPUs will arrive soon and will work better than the one Linus Tech Tips got their hands on. It looks like AMD might be on the verge of Linux dominance because of better driver support.
