So about thirty minutes ago, I was sitting at my desk trying to do some work. And it was quiet. No, it was TOO quiet. I needed some ambient background noise. So I created a thing.
Today, I'm going to be playing one of my favorite free and open source games--0 A.D! This is areal time strategy game that is similar to Age of Empires. 0 A.D. can be found in almost every Linux distro's repositories. It is also available on both Windows and Mac.

I love trying out alternatives to mainstream software, services and social networks. Three alternative platforms that I've been using for awhile are Gemini, Mastodon and Odysee. I often get questions about these alternatives, such as "Hey DT, do you still like Gemini?" or "Has your opinions on Mastodon changed?"

One of the interesting things with Linux desktop notifications is that they are not permanently saved anywhere on your system. Well, with some Google-fu and some minor configuration file edits, we can have our desktop notifications automatically save to a log file that we can read anytime we want.

I often get asked questions from viewers of the channel regarding software that hasn't had a release in the last few months...or the last few years...or possibly decades. Is it OK to use software that isn't actively maintained?

It is often said that many, if not most, Linux users have an elitist attitude. We love to talk about how much better our OS is compared to the alternatives. Linux users often talk about how Linux changed their lives, changed the way they thought about computers and the world in general. And to those outside of the Linux community, we come across as a bunch or elitist, arrogant A-holes. But do we really have an elitist attitude? Yes, we do!
