In this one, we end up going deeper with the whole AI thing than we ever intended to. As it happens, news, our projects and tinkering and everything else just takes us down this path. We promise, though, it'll be worth it. First up, Linus has gone full vibe code? Well... not really. If there's one guy that we'd expect to do a good job with shepherding an LLM to good results, it's him. But what does this mean for the Linux Kernel in the future? We'll find out. Then, our journey into using AI-based Linux distros takes us to Makulu and Luma, but Luma turns out to still need a few weeks to bake. We'll come back to it, and in its place, Omarchy shows up. But even then, the focus strays away because Omarchy isn't really what's interesting about Omarchy! Finally, what's next? Software development is dead... or so they say. We're still skeptical of the claim but it's hard to argue with the results. We'll follow this one along too, but at least ArtCraft is impressing some. Reverse engineering code just got scary for the big boys, but information wants to be free, right? Coming up in this episode The Kernel Is Lost!

In this episode we start out bantering about Gentoo and how it's not ebuilding/packaging Chromium anymore! Then, in the meat of the show, we open with Firefox and its new 'facelift' which really just turns out to be a theme you can disable, a little more on the Chromium/Gentoo front, and Orion is now DEAD?! Why? Next up, Cloudflare is diving into the ACME protocol business and directly competing against Let's Encrypt and the others that were doing just fine by themselves. Is this just a conspiracy to upsell you? And finally, our questions about Caddy got responses, and we have to learn a whole lot to be able to answer them. We're one step closer to deciding how we're going to solve this problem. But until then, Caddy stays crusty. More opinions wanted! Is Fedora really EVERYONE'S favorite?

Today in User Space We end up covering quite a range of topics. First up, a question. When you want to use Caddy from the distribution's repo, it can't really be Ubuntu because it's old and crusty. We talk through a few options, but want to hear from you! Fedora? Arch? Alpine? What do you recommend? Then, three months of pent up rage, aggression, worry and ethical concerns in and around AI and LLMs. This is a bit of a ride, and it has our usual meandering vibe to it, but it brings up so many good questions that there aren't any good answers to. Underneath it all, yes, we know that there are environmental issues as well as ethical ones, but neither of those are stopping many from using the technology. So where do we go from here? Those are the questions and thoughts we get into. And finally, Internet Explorer! Thought it was dead? Think again. It's still a zombie, but even that will come to and end in a couple of years. We use this as a springboard to talk about Orion and Servo, and take a few shots at Google because they deserve it ;) Overall, a great show, if a little long, but a good time was had which means we're just gonna keep doing it over and over again. Hope you enjoy! Coming up in Season 7 Episode 1 Leo needs a new caddy Will AI Doom Us All?

Coming up in this episode Ubuntu's Ups and Downs An KDE Linux Chat with Nate Graham 0:00 Cold Open 1:37 Ubuntu's Ups and Downs 24:04 The Present and Future of KDE Linux (with Nate) 1:08:43 AI and Unenforceable Policies (with Nate) 1:47:18 Next Time: Season 7! 1:53:47 Stinger The Video Version https://youtu.be/wUQtmVpj1OE Today in User Space we start out by covering a couple of the newest Ubuntu issues. Namely, the outages, but that alone wasn't terrible, until you added update failures that prevent folks that needed to from patching themselves against Copy Fail! Some good things, too, though. PS5 Linux is bringing all the nostalgia back from the PS3 era of full Linux desktop enjoyment. Then, we let a guest, Nate Graham of KDE, crash the back half of the show, and it goes quite long! In the first half we hear everything from why Snaps could, but ultimately don't work for KDE Linux, Printing, and the possible future cadence of the OS once there's a full release (and more, of course). We actually split the interview in two to be a little more digestible and postable later on. In the second half of the interview, we discuss our thoughts on AI, what's good (and mostly bad) about it all, and how KDE and Nate look at submissions and humanity. What we don't need, it seems, is unenforceable policies. Then, a couple final questions like what's up with Full Disk Encryption? Let us know if this type of thing is what you'd like to hear more of. 📣Announcements📣 This program was made possible by: 📺️Youtube 📽️TILvids And by contributions to your L-U-S station by Patrons like you 😍 Go to our Links 🔗 Page for more places to find us Ubuntu's Ups and Downs Ubuntu's AI Ambitions Ubuntu's DDoS Discourse Post about the DDoS PS5-Linux (based on Ubuntu) 📣More Announcements📣 Want to have a topic covered or have some feedback? - send us an email, [email protected] OR jump on over to the open forum on Lemmy Go to our Links 🔗 Page for more places to find us Interview With Nate Graham Nate's Blog KDE Linux KDE Linux Wiki KDE Discuss KDE Linux Matrix KDE Bug Tracker This Week In Plasma 🧹Housekeeping🧹 Catch these and other great topics as they unfold on our Subreddit or our News channel on Discord.

On paper, it's as good as the Mac unified memory, but will it actually live up to the hype on the new Intel chips? Then, we find out Malus is out here copying open source software and adjusting it enough that it becomes... liberated? Described as 'satire,' this tool, at least on its surface, does seem to do exactly what it says on the tin. But why? And finally, we spend a lot of time talking about Ubuntu 26.04's release, and it turns out, some of the highlights are really interesting. Password feedback lets us meander into a much longer security debate about shoulder surfing, why TPM's and encryption are good, actually, the Gnome Resources app, which is surprisingly good, but we forgot to remember about it, and then we try to figure out when the right time to update really is. 📣Announcements📣 This program was made possible by: 📺️Youtube 📽️TILvids And by contributions to your L-U-S station by Patrons like you 😍 Go to our Links 🔗 Page for more places to find us LPCAMM2 Memory is gaining traction LPCAMM2 memory Nextgen Framework Framework 13 configurator More of this will help the RAM situation 📣More Announcements📣 Want to have a topic covered or have some feedback? - send us an email, [email protected] OR jump on over to the open forum on Lemmy Go to our Links 🔗 Page for more places to find us Open Source can be magicked into Closed Source without Violating Copyright (Left) Malus archive.today link to 404 Media article But shouldn't it be Public Domain? 🧹Housekeeping🧹 Catch these and other great topics as they unfold on our Subreddit or our News channel on Discord.

Coming up in this episode The Ends of an Era A Leaky Firefox RAM is Affordable Now?! 0:00 Cold Open 1:36 Ends of an Era 32:30 A Leaky Firefox 48:47 A Slight RAM Reprieve? 1:04:51 Two Notes & Next Time 1:13:30 Stinger Today in User Space we dive into the wonderful world of nostalgia again as we find out that the 486 architecture will soon be dropped from the Linux kernel. Luckily the very first Pentium (with MMX!) is still in-tree, but for how much longer? We also find out that Ubuntu is raising their minimum RAM requirement to 6GB from 4. Honestly, it's about time. Then, some bittersweet news. Leo finally gets to play around with the Firefox built-in VPN, but Dan still hasn't seen it. What we found out, though, is that Firefox will happily leak your real IP address with WebRTC. Does this defeat the purpose?! Lastly, we try to guess what's going to happen next with RAM prices. They seem to have hit their peak, but will they really come tumbling down? At least for Raspberry Pi, that's not the case as price rises across the entire line are happening. The Pi 5 16GB is a jaw dropping $300! We also respond to a couple of comments.

This time, it's in systemd. Lots of folks have been activated about this one since it hits much closer to home, even in distros that weren't considering it prior, and why we think it's not a big deal, nor is that slope very slippery from here Then, we find out that Mozilla has a browser, and they're putting a couple of interesting things in there! Namely split view and a VPN, but only the cool kids have the latter for now. Next up is, in the US, the FCC has banned foreign consumer grade routers, which is basically all of them.

Coming up in this episode I am speed! Kachow How old are you? and the call is coming from inside the RAM The Video Version https://youtu.be/SP-gPAkrqHk 0:00 Cold Open 2:00 It's Not Just Bandwidth 23:47 Age Verification in Linux 43:22 A Terrible Time for Faulty RAM 56:06 Hearkening Back +56:34 vimlena +1:00:21 squidiebah +1:03:18 Chris +1:04:16 Alphacluster +1:09:59 WhamGeek 1:12:44 Next Time 1:15:10 Stinger In this episode we dive into the wonderful world of bandwidth since there's an open source alternative to Speedtest.net and Fast.com these days, and it's LibreSpeed.org. Take a peek, preferably after they update their expired certificate (they seriously did this to us after we speak so highly!) and get a slightly more honest look at your speeds! For bonus points, try a different country. We also dig into some of the technical bits behind those tests. Also, when speaking about jitter, I should have said 'delta' or 'difference' rather than 'average'! Then, more age verification. This time, though, Linux distributions are caught in the crossfire and some are exploring the ways to actually handle potential implementations. Nothing's too dire yet as most of these 'laws' are still bills, and that means they don't matter quite yet. Also, we look into a post by Gabriele Svelto, a Firefox developer, to find out that not only is Firefox a little more reliable than you might think, bad RAM or other hardware bits might actually be the reason things are crashing, and not just Firefox! Finally, some feedback, and we learn that our Mac User / Listener Venn diagram isn't just two separate circles. 📣Announcements📣 This program was made possible by: 📺️Youtube 📽️TILvids And by contributions to your L-U-S station by Patrons like you 😍 Check Your Speed 🏁 librespeed 📣More Announcements📣 Want to have a topic covered or have some feedback? - send us an email, [email protected] OR jump on over to the open forum on Lemmy Age Verification in Linux (and BSD) Proposed Colorado Legislation Proposed California Legislation System76 response Midnight BSD response FreeDesktop Merge Proposal punted to a portal implementation 🧹Housekeeping🧹 Catch these and other great topics as they unfold on our Subreddit or our News channel on Discord. 🗞️ Linux User Space Lemmy 📰 Linux User Space subreddit ⌨️ Linux User Space Discord Server 📲 Linux User Space Telegram ✉️ Linux User Space Matrix 📽️ Linux User Space Twitch 🐘 Linux User Space Mastodon 📜 Linux User Space Twitter 📺️ Linux User Space TILVids 📱 Linux User Space Bluesky Memories Lost Firefox crash reports detect bit flips Feedback @vimlena from YouTube Waterfox works with Firefox sync @squidiebah from YouTube Been using firefox for years, this won't make me move and I've just disabled it(AI).

And it'd be going a lot better if Leo could stop weighing the pros and cons of each search and their impact on the quota. Also, a little about Orion and why its tabbed layout is much better than the rest. Then, F-Droid is back in the news with a new lament about the dwindling amount of time left before the September Sideload cutoff. Time to make a little more noise, it seems. And finally, Firefox gets the long awaited Kill Switch, but was it actually backtracking? We make the case for why that might not have actually been the case, but welcome the toggle either way. Oh, and in Next Time, we accidentally slip in a small segment about Discord and what backtracking actually looks like!

In this episode we spend a lot of time hyping things up, including some things you might not expect (from a Linux show, not so much Leo). We open up with Zorin making some money moves that helps WinBoat among a few other projects, then really dive into the show with Cosmic! A bit about how we've fared now that the 1.0 Cosmic Epoch is here, how things have changed, and what other goodies System76 has up their sleeve (it's a lot!). Then, we spend some time dissecting Mozilla's newest AI move. It turns out, if you dig deep enough, there's still hope, contrary to the wildly hot-take style news about things so far. And our final topic, Snapscope, a way to scan your Snaps for vulnerabilities, but then end up chatting way more about Snaps in general. There's also a bit of SteamThing errata we need to cover before ending it all on a high note for the holidays. Hope you enjoy and we'll see you soon. Happy holidays!

Coming up in this episode Wayland is inevitable... RAM is now Unobtanium and a Linux User Space OS? Today in User Space, we RE-remind everyone that Wayland is certainly the only way forward for the big dogs. Gnome had adopted a Wayland-only stance quite a while ago, and now it looks like Plasma will be following suit. Then, we dive into the wonderful world of Everything terrible that AI is doing to us in the form of RAM price hikes (as much as 500%... so far). And finally, we hit up the feedback that's been piling up! There's a little more to get to eventually, but it'll all get there since we went a little long in this episode. 0:00 Cold Open 1:05 Wayland Is Inevitable... 26:53 RAM Is Now Unobtanium 49:54 The LUS Mailbag 50:19 Mailbag: Daniel 57:40 Mailbag: schemage2210 1:03:19 Mailbag: ewanmarshall 1:10:13 Mailbag: michaelchalmers 1:15:26 Next Time 1:23:08 Stinger The Video Version https://youtu.be/dyfMTBn7AoM 📣Announcements📣 This program was made possible by: 📺️Youtube 📽️TILvids And by contributions to your L-U-S station by Patrons like you 😍 Plasma is all in on Wayland KDE blog post We shouted back in 2023 on Season 4 Episode 5 The Steam Deck which runs on KDE Plasma has high sales numbers 📣More Announcements📣 Want to have a topic covered or have some feedback? - send us an email, [email protected] OR jump on over to the open forum on Lemmy RAM prices are silly.
