00:00 Intro 00:34 Sponsor - Squarespace 01:32 Under the hood 03:21 GNOME 45 changes 05:31 App Changes 08:12 Fedora Slimbook 09:59 The Specs 14:56 Final Thoughts 15:51 Support the channel
The installer is still Anaconda, not the new one. You're getting the kernel 6.5. Fedora 39 also drops the modular repos. You're still not getting DNF 5, the new version of the package manager. Other changes include dropping the custom theming for Qt apps, changing the default color of the terminal, and there's a new spin of Fedora Silverblue, the immutable distro, but this time with Budgie as its desktop, it's called Fedora Onyx.
Of course, the biggest changes to your experience on Fedora will be with GNOME 45. So, the first change will be to Activities, with the new workspaces indicator, when you click it, it opens the activities view, but visually, it now shows your current virtual desktop as an elongated pill, and the other virtual desktops as small circles. The app menu also disappeared from the top bar in the process.
In the quick settings, you now get the ability to control keyboard backlight. You can also open the quick settings menu by pressing Super + S, and you can now click a background app to open its window, and you'll get a small indicator when closing one of these background apps.
Finally, in the top bar, you'll get a new webcam activity indicator.
Apart from that, there's a new "split headerbar look" that reached a few apps. In terms of apps, Nautilus gained a way faster search: tracker. Once a search has completed, you also get a "Search everywhere" button that lets you search the whole filesystem.
GNOME 45 also brings a new image viewer, called Loupe, Cheese, the camera app, is replaced with Snapshot, GNOME console got a new preference item to customize fonts, GNOME maps gained a new experimental vector based tileset.
As per GNOME Software, you can now clear all the user data associated with a flatpak app when you uninstall it, and you'll see messages in the search results and app details pages to let you know if a flatpak is end of life and hasn't received updates in a long time.
And now, let's talk hardware: the Fedora Slimbook. This is a partnership between Fedora, and, you guessed it, Slimbook, the linux hardware manufacturer based in Spain.
It's a 16 inch laptop, that only weighs 1.5 kilos, or 3.3 pounds. It has a 2K 16:10 display, at 2560 by 1600 at 90hz. It supports 100% of sRGB, and has a brightness of 400 nits and an anti glare coating.
The laptop has some Fedora branding, with a super key using the Fedora logo, and a Fedora logo is also present on the top left corner of the laptop. The chassis is a magnesium and aluminium alloy.
In terms of specs, you get an intel i7 12700H, it's paired with an Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti, with 4 gigs of VRAM. On top of that, you get to pick between 16, 32 or 64 gigs of RAM, running at 3200 Mhz, it's not soldered. As per storage, you get 500 gigs of SSD, with the ability to fill 2 M.2 slots with up to 4 TB in total.
In terms of I/O, the laptop comes with 2 USB A ports, 3.2 Gen 1, with 1 USB C 3.2 Gen 2 that supports display port 1.4, and one Thunderbolt 4 port that supports charging and displayport, but it's hardwired to the integrated intel GPU. There's also an HDMI port, wired to the Nvidia GPU, a headphone jack, and an SD card slot, plus a barrel charger port.
You'll get Wifi 6 and bluetooth 5.2, and an 82 WH battery, that, in my experience, gives you about 6h to 7h or regular use.
Finally, it has 2 speakers, that are solid enough and have decent sound and bass, a 1080p webcam that isn't terrible but also not that great, and a mic that's really mediocre.
It also has a wonderful feeling keyboard, and a giant touchpad, which feels absolutely fantastic to use especially for all the gestures GNOME has to navigate the desktop and the apps.

The U.S. efforts to hobble China's tech advancement through export controls have not been effective. Chinese tech companies, such as Huawei, Baidu, and SMIC, are developing their own tech ecosystems. China dominates in consumer drones, autonomous vehicles, and solar panels and batteries.
SMIC, which makes Huawei's processors, is now the third-largest chipmaker in the world and has managed to innovate despite having older-generation tech.
Working through updating the #FLX1 review i wrote up a while ago and my god hopefully future phones I test both do and dont have similar battery life. I want to have full battery life numbers instead of just estimations so from 100% to the phone is off. Standby test without a sim and wifi on the entire time has been going 164 hours and still has another 16% to go. No deep sleep. Luckily the last battery test i need. Im also updating the review structure a bit to show more info. #mobilelinux

All the actions will close the popup except choksing the color. I think this is fine, bit it might be easier to get if it would be visualy indicated in some way that the color is a suboption for the higlighting actions.
Dose the popup close when a shotcut for e.g. copy is used? Is scrolling possible with contextmenu? Would it close or scroll with the text? @pabloyoyoista @camelCaseNick

I recently switched to an AMD GPU and VA-API is the only option for hardware acceleration on linux that is viable. But Handbrake does not support it and it doesn't seem like it will in the foreseeable future, so I am looking for an alternative. Ideally it is just an ffmpeg GUI, but I did not find any that are: - actually compatible with linux - updated in the last 5 years - have an option vor h264_vaapi or hevc_vaapi video codecs
Another workflow I thought about that is not working is transcoding the video, but copy all audio and subtitles and let handbrake handle that, however Handbrake has no option to just copy the video stream...
So far I have tried: - ffmpeg_batch: wouldn't use my local version of ffmpeg, because of some path error, only works through wine - qwinff: got it building, but no VA-API codec, and no mkv output support (over 10 years old) - Shutter Encoder: only works through wine, font problems, no va-api support - Avidemux: takes forever to open a video clip, more of a video editor, no va-api support - Hybrid: know it from my windows days, clunky UI, no va-api support, but best candidate for me right now as I could use it to just copy video and handle audio and subtitles in here - StaxRip: the .7z file could not be extracted, I just got an error
Are you aware that HandBrake supports AMD VCN hardware video encoding, but doesn't show the option in the GUI unless support is detected on your system? Perhaps you could get it working by installing the AMD's proprietary driver.
You haven't said what source material you're encoding, so we don't know if there's a feature of Handbrake that would be hard to replace using another tool.
VA-API is the only option for hardware acceleration on linux that is viable.
I guess that depends on what you mean by viable. Are you aware of Vulkan Video?
FFMPEG apparently merged support for it last year. If you can't get HandBrake to do what you want, you might consider investing some time in learning ffmpeg commands.
the amdgpu-pro drivers are only available on LTS releases and on a few selected distros
Are you sure? I would expect AMD to have their own download & install instructions that could be used on any distro. That would be more work for you than just installing a package directly from your distro, of course.
Curiously, I just found a comment from last year claiming that amf-amdgpu-pro now works with Mesa's RADV. So maybe this approach could work without AMD's proprietary driver?
Mostly BluRay rips, so movies and TV-Shows
By rips, do you mean your source media is already in a container, like a .mkv or .mp4 file? Or are you encoding directly from optical discs? If it's the latter, then using a tool other than HandBrake for the encode might also require finding a disc ripping tool. (Not all encoding tools can decrypt and demux discs.)
I actually was not. Is it any good? But Handbrake does not support that either, does it?
I haven't used Vulkan Video. It's just an API, so I would expect the video quality to depend on your hardware's encoder, just as it would with VAAPI or any other API.
I don't think Handbrake supports it yet, so until they do, I think you would have to use some other encoding tool.
for anything involving multiple audio and subtitle streams and stream selection in general it is not an option for me…
You haven't said why, but if it's just that managing lots of streams using command line tools is more hassle than you want to deal with, you might take a look at MKVToolNix. It's pretty good at muxing, even if the source media is not a .mkv file.
Description of the feature or enhancement you'd like to see in HandBrake: AMD opensource driver (AMDGPU+MESA) offers videoenconding for h.264/h.265 over VAAPI. It would be great to have support for...

Je connaissais bien cette phrase de Paul Valéry "Nous autres, civilisations, nous savons maintenant que nous sommes mortelles."
Je découvre aujourd'hui la suite: "Et nous voyons maintenant que l'abîme de l'histoire est assez grand pour tout le monde. Nous sentons qu'une civilisation a la même fragilité qu'une vie. Les circonstances qui enverraient les oeuvres de Keats et celles de Baudelaire rejoindre les oeuvres de Ménandre ne sont plus du tout inconcevables: elles sont dans les journaux."
C'est dans La Crise de l’esprit, 1919. Il écrit donc au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale et témoigne d'un sentiment (largement partagé alors) d'un effondrement moral de la civilisation occidentale après le conflit, considérant le nombre de morts mais aussi le rôle des sciences et de l'industrie dans la tuerie de masse.
The hoppy IPA-ish beer I brewed (nearly) 2 weeks ago seems to be done fermenting at 1.008 (temp corrected) making it 7.5% abv.
It tastes pretty good, has a nice bitterness on the higher side for my palate but not too painful. Aroma is tropical/pineapple. It definitely needs a dry hop to bring it to where I want it to be, but overall, I think it's turned out well so far. I wish it wasn't as dry as it is, but it's not wrecking the beer by any means.
@paulywill it's a final gravity hydrometer, it goes from 1.020 to 0.980 I don't know the brand. Does this logo look familiar to you? It says it's made in France. I got it from my LHBS.
@paulywill I have a set of three plastic hydrometers ranged 0.98-1.02, 1.0-1.07, and 1.06-1.13 (or something like that). It’s amazing and considerably less prone to breakage. I’d have to check the brand when I get home from work.
@pork_soda @paulywill I'd be interested in getting some plastic ones, the stem on mine is so narrow I'm always afraid I'm gonna snap it just picking it up.
@paulywill Fermenter’s Favorite is the brand of the set I have, but I can’t seem to find it online anymore. I bought mine used from my LHBS so I have no idea where they got it, but u can attest plastic hydrometers have saved my bacon in a handful of occasions, and I have been fairly satisfied that they are similarly-accurate to a comparable glass one.
@paulywill an FG hydrometer sounds so smart. Would save me a bunch of squinting. Can’t believe it never occurred to me to look for it. Haven’t seen one for sale here, but now will be on the lookout for one (maybe this one)

the meniscus i had trimmed about a decade ago turned out decent but the one i didn't get done has some pain. probably it's torn and needs to be trimmed
All that would happen would your entire meniscus getting cut up then, as why would a LLM know how to do surgery, considering it doesn't even have intelligence?
Surgery is known for sometimes making a problem worse even if a competent surgeon does it - thus surgery should be a last resort.
AI is already expert level at reading x-rays, such as identifying pneumonia in lungs. trust me lad AI will be doing surgery within a decade, and with a much lower rate of screw ups than human doctors
Unfortunately the output of neural networks is proprietary, as that's clearly lacks source code and is an act of reverse engineering to understand it.
Neural networks are nowhere near experts at reading x-rays - they just are extremely fast at comparing every single x-ray on record that contained pneumonia with the current image and notifying the expert if pneumonia is suspected, working around some human error where a condition is simply missed.
Such scheme actually needs a expert to check and determine if there's a false positive or not.
I don't see how you could go from a neural net that is good at giving suggestions as to what condition a scan contains, with some false positives and some false negatives, to the much harder task of actually performing a surgery and not screwing it up within a decade.
@Suiseiseki same way you can go from full self driving cars constantly crashing and being dangerous to being road legal now in some st ates (although personally i think this is still premature)

I walked alone, once— not because I lacked love, but because I had not yet learned the sound of my own steps.
There were no maps, only wind in the trees and the press of footprints too old to follow.
I carried all I thought I needed: the ache of past years, a rusted kind of pride, and questions folded like paper cranes I never dared to open.
But the forest didn't ask for answers. It asked for presence. The stones beneath my feet taught me weight. The silence showed me how to listen without needing to speak.
And in that long, slow wandering— where no hand held mine, no voice called me home— I found myself turning to my own breath for company.
When I returned, I was no longer searching. I saw her—my wife— not as a missing half, but as a mirror that did not distort me.
Love, real love, came not from escape, but from returning whole.
well, fediverse, what is it?
