The Linux Experiment Podcasts
Hi @thelinuxEXP
I don't know if you're also the one handling the peertube channel @thelinuxexperiment but it's been stuck with the wrong "last" video for 6 days, now 😢
@thelinuxEXP that phone looks like vaporware to me. I'll believe it once it ships.
@thelinuxEXP I think Tilvids video is not the right one. Based on the fact it mentions DEs moving to Wayland and Wikipedia's AI deal.

PeerTube
@thelinuxEXP in peertube, you accidentally reuploaded last week's video with this week's thumbnail instead of uploading this week's video 

@thelinuxEXP Salut Nick, bonne vidéo. Pour les malware de snap, la crypto est un malware tant qu'à moi, fake qui se ressemble s'assemble....

Pour PS, well, well un rando a trouvé la solution et fait un pull request en premier lieu...sur proton 😆 , tant mieux si ça s'en viens sur wine et merci au rando développeur d'avoir trouvé la solution, shame on adobe d'utiliser ENCRE des trucs IE...... (shame on adobe tout cours avec leur abonnement et pratique de rapace)

@thelinuxEXP I had a Windows Phone for a while and did like it. The idea of UWP was also pretty cool in principal. Making a phone that you could dock and use as a PC is also something I felt would be cool, but the execution of things I have tried are always a bit on the miss side.
@thelinuxEXP seems like you uploaded the wrong video to @thelinuxexperiment
