Can you suggest me some good Linux podcasts?

I’m currently following Linux & Open Source News from The Linux Experiment, and I know others like Destination Linux that I don’t like it at all, can someone suggest me some good podcasts? It fine to me if they just talk technical things or curious things, but I want to learn more things about Linux.

I do enjoy a Late Night Linux episode from time to time. Not too heavy going, nor are the episodes that long.

It is. That or it was very coincidentally down for the exact amount of time as DDG.

Google fires 28 workers for protesting $1.2 billion Israel contract (www.nbcnews.com)

“Google issued a stern warning to its employees, with the company’s vice president of global security, Chris Rackow, saying, “If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again,” according to an internal memo obtained by CNBC.”

“Our words are backed up with nukes”

I'm relatively unfamiliar with Linux. I'm getting a ThinkPad T460 and want to install Mint on it. Is there anything about the T460 I should know?

It’s probably been 15 years since I’ve used Linux and Mint seems to be the recommended distro for people who aren’t all that familiar with Linux like me, but I didn’t know if there was anything I should know with this ThinkPad model that anyone is familiar with. My searching around shows people saying everything from it...

@Twig@sopuli.xyz avatar

I’d imagine it would work fine. You can always try Mint out from the LiveUSB and see if any issues occur.

The installer’s defaults should be enough to get it done without any hassle.

It was before I had a CD writer (or DVD drive!), and it came with Linux Format magazine. I think it was the easiest and most user friendly way of getting started at the time.

What games can you not get into because they feel too outdated?

Are there games that you tried but just couldn’t get into because they feel outdated? Games that, in theory, you would enjoy, but don’t because the controls, graphics, writing, or mechanics just don’t feel good anymore. Games that, compared to today, just don’t hold up to your standards....

I started getting used to Ultima V, then i left it for a few days and had no idea what I was doing when I tried getting back into it! Maybe I should try one of the easier ones, maybe VI or VII?

Back in the day I think it was either Rhythmbox or gtkpod that synced my scrobbles each time I connected my iPod to my PC. Not sure if any other device is “smart” enough to do that.

At what age and how do you tell children about the truth of Christmas?

I’m writing this as someone who has mostly lived in the US and Canada. Personally, I find the whole “lying to children about Christmas” thing just a bit weird (no judgment on those who enjoy this aspect of the holiday). But because it’s completely normalized in our culture, this is something many people have to deal...

Virtually all scholars of antiquity accept that Jesus was a historical figure, and attempts to deny his historicity have been consistently rejected by the scholarly consensus as a fringe theory.

Resources to learn about history of linux

I have always been a history enthusiast. Unfortunately,I don’t know much about history in the context of computers.
