I'm happy either way. Does anyone attending have a camera we could use instead of a laptop? I can bring one if need be. Logistech C920, which works well.

WLUG Meeting this month!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang! If we go back to our normal schedule we'll be at Technopia this Thursday. Would that work for people or would next Thursday work? Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: Questions on Technocopia

by THE HAMMER

Kevin, Thanks much for the info. I don't usually bring a laptop, but figure it's a nice option. Good to know that you have such good battery support. It would make a trilobite smile 🙂 Ron ________________________________ From: Kevin Harrington <mad.hephaestus(a)gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 1, 2023 8:25 AM To: Worcester Linux Users' Group General Discussion <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Cc: hammerron <hammerron(a)hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [WLUG] Questions on Technocopia Yes food and drink are allowed.

Re: WLUG Meeting next week! July 13th 2023.. Tentative topic is keyboards, RedHat.

by Jon "maddog" Hall

Hello, Re: Red Hat and IBM Several weeks ago IBM and Red Hat announced a change to their business licenses for RHEL. Several pundits wrote their opinions about these changes. I carefully read most of them, but I felt some concepts were missing. So I took my time and wrote my thoughts on it. I wrote to you in the middle of writing this article that I would share it with you when it was finished. I will warn you that the article is long. Very long. It is not the article of the TicTok generation, or even the Instagram generation. It is not an article for the faint of heart, but I think it does give a lot of insight into the development of software as an industry, binary-only code and why it happened, Open Source and Free Software. I have shared this with several people who, like me, have been around a "long time", and now I share it with you. Don't look for finger wagging here. Customers will decide what direction they want to go. https://www.lpi.org/blog/2023/07/30/ibm-red-hat-and-free-software-an-old-ma… Regards, md On Thu, Jul 6, 2023 at 1:22 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > While not entirely linux related, keyboard preference is something that we > all have opinions on. > I'll bring along a couple interesting keyboards that play nicely with > linux. > > I know we'll definitely talk about the the RedHat decision as well.

Installing ubuntu on a mac..

by Tim Keller

So funny enough another Mac fell into my lap and our success with Matt's mac encouraged me to get U22.04 installed on a 2014 macbook pro.. I tried to install using Ventoy only to hit this issue: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/52 I ended up writing the ISO directly to my scratch stick and installing from there. Just a heads up if you end up tripping on this. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
