Tech over Tea episode #300 - @BrodieOnLinux has interviewed me!
Everything about OpenPrinting, history, what we are doing, funding and the future, …
As usual with Tech over Tea, there is the full 2-hour episode, plus 6 highlight clips taken from it.
Here is my OpenPrinting News post about it:

I Was Featured On Tech Over Tea #156
Hey lookie! I'm back on @BrodieOnLinux podcast #TechOverTea again!!!
all these are structural quality issues, I hope you don't stumble upon a lot.
The CLI is nice, for search and more use "nh". But it is veery verbose, I thought of that when listening to your #TechOverTea episode. It should have a less verbose mode
@ngn Thanks for elaborating on this topic.
Im still not sure about #fedora being testing ground for #rhel, they surely have really formal way of introducing and documenting changes with their change proposals https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/program_management/changes_guide/ which to my knowledge from one of episodes of #techovertea by @BrodieOnLinux are later reviewed by #rhel and merged/notmerged into it. Some people asked about #fedora and #rhel relationship in the past https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/request-for-a-detailed-breakdown-of-the-relationship-between-fedora-and-red-hat/86775
For the source code availability, even with #gpl #license you are only required to share the source code to the recipients of the application/whatever you are distributing/selling, just because most #gitforge services allow everyone to view the projects stored on their servers, it doesn't mean it has to be like that - though, for open development process, maybe it should be? But that doesn't change that if #redhat called their #downstream #distro "freeloaders", its really rude.
They are doing it for profit, I guess. Not caring about their potential customers will get them eventually. But besides that, everyone has to earn money somehow, and having #foss product doesn't make it easy.
> best you can do is to put new tech and software into your repos, and encourage users to test and use it, which is what most rolling distros do
I disagree, although its good to have unstable features as opt-in, it introduces bias where the new features are only used by people that know about them, and know how to enable/switch to them. This way, you are severely reducing amount of useful bug reports that are crucial to know what are your users even doing.
Ideally you would perform AB tests, with ever increasing number of real users, and in case of issues you would simply #rollback the update to the latest stable version. Sadly, it would require that rollback feature, and prefill all system information in the bug report.
After about 9 years of using Linux Mint I discovered Solus in November 2016 and I was hooked. Through IRC and the forum @ikey and I became good friends.
Knowing I would be visiting Ireland with Arianna in October 2018 I arranged to meet with Ikey in Tullamore, County Offaly. Unfortunately for us, he had to move to England a few months before our visit. Arianna still visited the town and had a great time touring around.
I am still using Solus these days, on my Razer Blade 15 laptop, with PCLinuxOS on my main desktop. The team are maintaining and developing the OS really well. Budgie remains my DE for that distro.
Ikey is now working with a team on Serpent OS, a wonderful Linux project that I have been following. https://serpentos.com/ This project will soon be renamed to AerynOS.
Do yourself a favour and try out the live-USB for yourself. You will be impressed!!
This month Ikey was a guest on the YouTube show Tech Over Tea.

Of course I was interested, and now listening to the whole 2 hour episode.
Language warning: It's Ikey. There shall be some f-bombs in the conversation flow.
He remains as one of the most intelligent people I knew, and makes Linux development sound easy. Half of the time I have no idea what he is on about, but I enjoy listening to him.

the latest conversation of @BrodieOnLinux and the #Futo guy on the #TechOverTea podcast was quite interesting.
What I found strange is how they separate licenses by being #OpenSource or #FreeSoftware. AFAIK, most popular licenses like GPL, MIT, BSD, MPL, etc. conform to both the #FSF and the #OSI standards. I guess what they meant was #CopyLeft vs permissive licenses?
Episodes 225 and 226 of the #TechOverTea #podcast cover #FUTO and explicit choice to deviate from #OpenSource licenses. Both episodes are thought-provoking. Here is the article by @danb on this topic https://danb.me/blog/futo-open-source-definition/ Podcast episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhCcvzT3IaE and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb2hMLPnUP8 Here a real-world use of the FUTO Source First License 1.0 https://gitlab.futo.org/alex/latinime/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md
@TechOverTeaShow @BrodieOnLinux
Thanks a lot for having me in your podcast! It was a blast :)
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ta0imAIz31M&si=MbzRsJLXDA1Js74J an excelllent Brodie #TechOverTea interview. 2 hour long form interview with a meta kernel scheduler developer. If you havent checked out @BrodieOnLinux you might find something thaat grabs your interest.
It's not common to hear such low level discussion and I'd been interested in schedulers because I've known #damentz of #liquorix kernel project so long. And I've helped test the experimental schedulers he's used over years.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=fEdy5rChFNg&si=PiGsgt5rXnjO9D9W one more try. Great interview by #techovertea with founder of #system76 very wide ranging open hardware cosmic desktop. I was amazed at how closely it mapped to the big refactors I've been doing in #inxi.
I realized today that I had actually found #techovertea while drinking morning #tea (#sencha green for those wondering)
Wow. I love that #antennapod has this awsome feature to show how much of a foss nerd I am. I love your content

Hey VT.Social people! You wanna see an interview with our very own @LunaFoxgirlVT? Then check out @BrodieOnLinux's podcast Tech Over Tea! #Vtuber #Mastodon #Inochi2D #TechOverTea #Vtubers #VTsocial
@BrodieOnLinux has invited me over to be a guest on his podcast called Tech Over Tea, and we've had a chill talk about Linux, FOSS and other things :)
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did :D
