Been there! I was trying out a way of running a machine as an OSless box and you boot off of a usb disk but I forgot you need to leave it plugged in when I needed some of the data on another machine.

If someone's looking for an app idea, I would love a nice GTK Mumble client. The audio quality is really nice, especially for calls with a lot of participants, but the UI of the Qt app is terrible.

In a sense, it is. The future of public transport is unlikely to be buses and trains, it's much more likely to be automated ride services. This is already happening in Japan with there self-driving minibuses from rural towns to cities and should make its way to the west.

ssh is probably the most underrated tool I use every day. The capability for me to sit basically anywhere on the planet with an internet connection and remotely get stuff done over a secure connection is a boon. I don't think any other tool comes close to the usefulness of ssh.

We did it! We came together as a community and met our fundraising goal to defend software freedom from patent litigation.

Next up comes the hard part - winning this lawsuit and setting precedent. Stay tuned for updates as we progress forward

Untangle is one of the reasons why I kept using Linux to begin with. I had a spare machine back in 2008 that was just Ubuntu with sgt-puzzles installed so I could play it.

@lunduke
Dosbox and civ with a usb keyboard and mouse (and monitor if possible).

Just re-upping this offer: because being comfortable with git is a barrier to entry to many FS/OSS projects, and because I care deeply about lowering those barriers, I will tutor anyone who asks for help with git, and/or connect them with any mentor(s) they might prefer.

I'll do this while I put energy and work into making the tool more approachable, and into making better tools and learning paths.

Boosts gratefully appreciated.

Thanks for the clarification! =]
I was concerned that there would be a bleeding edge version that was on all the beta devices and a LTS version.

@purism
In the post, it's not entirely clear if the Aspen - Dogwood models will receive the LTS software etc when it becomes available? Could someone confirm please?

@popey It's disabled by default in some distros but if you go to Settings > Preferences > Shortcuts you should be able to find and set it.

If I can get 2,141 more subscribers on LBRY... I'll have the most subscribed to channel on LBRY. I just decided I want that.

Help me get there and I'll bring back . ;)

@welshpixie Hmmm, sounds like it's doing some kind of automatic disabling of other outputs, there's probably a way around that in one of the pulse modules. However wireless headphones do make this easier!

@welshpixie Is this on a laptop or PC? I ask because laptops usually automatically disable speakers when the headphone jack is plugged in. This can sometimes be fixed in the BIOS. However if it's a PC then possibly pavucontrol? Otherwise you could script it with pulseaudios CLI systutorials.com/docs/linux/ma.
