Trash's Linux Update | Parking Lot

Trash gives a highly anticipated update on his journey with Linux.

• 0:00Speaker 00

  Emergency parking lot, Trash. You had a Linux experience. And you were moving to Linux, but nobody heard the update and we've seen comment after comment saying, "What has Trash been doing with Linux? Is it actually still awesome? Or has he quit? What's going on? Tell us what has happened." Everybody is yearning for it. So tell us.

  Yeah, my latest developments was, I think like last week or two weeks ago, I made a a NeoVim plugin based on Teja's telescope plugin. So I didn't like, I was looking at all the 2e's for Spotify. And I didn't like any of them, so then I just built one. Built out that was like extending telescope, so now I can just play Spotify through telescope. So now I don't have to leave my terminal inside Linux. So that's like my newest one. And then I think I made some updates. Now I have like this sick, uh, light and dark theme switcher, which will change my background, change everything with just a click of a button. So those are my two latest ones. As far as hardware goes,

• 1:00Speaker 01

  I was gonna buy the Dell XPS 14. But apparently, the bad thing is like you got, your option is you have to buy like Copilot and all this stuff on it. Which I, correct me if I'm wrong.

• 1:11Speaker 00

  You just.

• 1:12Speaker 01

  Yeah, but I don't want, but it actually like costs money to have those on there. Like there's like a line item that says like Windows or Copilot, like a hundred or something dollars or something like that. I was like, okay. So I was like, I went to go look at Framework and then like the, there's like pre-orders for Framework. They don't have a 14 inch. I really want a 14 inch laptop. So I basically am picking between a Dell XPS 14 or the Framework 13. But I don't know, because since the 13 is on preorder and 13 is kind of small.

• 1:37Speaker 00

  A 13 was small. I will say a 14 is much more comfy than a 13.

• 1:41Speaker 01

  I want, I want a 14. But.

• 1:44Speaker 02

  He's firm on that.

• 1:45Speaker 01

  I'm firm on 14. I'm not budget from 14. So I might have to just get the XPS 14. I just, I just, I just hate, like when I'm looking at it.

• 1:52Speaker 02

  Trash, quick question.

• 1:53Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:54Speaker 02

  Is the $100 for Copilot make or break for you? Cause I'm like just looking right behind you and wondering like, you've got some other issues in your life and the $100 is.

• 2:04Speaker 01

  This, this is an investment.

• 2:08Speaker 02

  Don't give Microsoft money.

• 2:10Speaker 03

  Teja, it's an opportunity cost. If he gives a $100 to Microsoft for Copilot, that's a $100 less Pokemon cards he gets.

• 2:17Speaker 02

  That's okay. I, my mistake, my mistake. Yeah.

• 2:21Speaker 00

  Guy was unaware of your game, Trash.

• 2:22Speaker 02

  Trash, what you got? What you got for us?

• 2:24Speaker 01

  This box was $59. Guess how much it's worth now?

• 2:28Speaker 00

  79.

• 2:31Speaker 02

  800.

• 2:33Speaker 01

  No, it's like 400 now, okay? But that's what I'm saying.

• 2:36Speaker 02

  It's so much lower than what I guess.

• 2:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, whatever. It's an investment. I hate you guys.

• 2:40Speaker 03

  When did you buy it?

• 2:42Speaker 01

  Couple of years ago.

• 2:44Speaker 03

  Okay. That's not a bad ROI.

• 2:47Speaker 01

  See?

• 2:48Speaker 02

  That's not, that's not the worst.

• 2:49Speaker 00

  That's actually considered a great ROI. It's just it didn't scale. Like you should have bought a thousand boxes.

• 2:54Speaker 01

  I know.

• 2:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's a good, that's a good point.

• 2:56Speaker 01

  Well, you know what? I'm not, I'm not a scalper, okay? So I do it for the love of the game.

• 3:01Speaker 00

  Trash, can you, can you help me understand? Why is there so many fistfights that happen at Pokemon vending machines? And have you been a part of one? Been next to one? Or have walked away from one? Because I gotta understand this PvP server that is known as Pokemon Dropsites.

• 3:18Speaker 01

  Let me tell you something. I went, I went through a phase of my life where I was like that guy that sat at the vending machine for like two hours. Waiting, because there's like a timer. And you have to wait, you have to figure out the algorithm, because all these vending machines have different algorithms and they only drop every 30 minutes, 45 minutes to an hour. So what happens is while you're waiting, another filthy scumbag walks up. And there's no, there's no like etiquette here. It's like they can just walk up and touch the screen. They can walk, like you can't just say, hey, you can't touch that. I'm like in the middle of like a rouse, like, you know, I already look stupid. So people will come up and just start touching the screen, which could potentially fuck up the timing. And then people get mad and then they start like wrestling and stuff. I'm just like, bro, come on. So you know what I do? I just go, and I walk away. Cool update though.

• 4:03Speaker 01

  There's like four more vending machines by me now. I don't go to them because like I don't have time anymore, but you guys should check it out.

• 4:09Speaker 00

  Is that why you learned jujitsu? Is so that when you inevitably get into a fistfight? You can get him down to the ground and like submit them?

• 4:17Speaker 01

  I'm low-key waiting for that moment to happen to me.

• 4:20Speaker 00

  I, dude, I can imagine. I can imagine you've played that scenario quite a few times in your head already.

• 4:24Speaker 01

  I watch, I watch those same like things you're watching. I'm like, those guys don't know what they're doing.

• 4:31Speaker 01

  I was like, he would have been asleep by now if that was me.

• 4:37Speaker 01

  No, violence is terrible.

• 4:38Speaker 02

  Trash, I want to know though, any other, like you're, are you still daily driving Linux? Or is it your main dev? I want to hear a little bit more about.

• 4:44Speaker 01

  I do all my, all my development on the side, on Linux right now.

• 4:48Speaker 00

  But what about, what about at, uh, what about at Netflix? Are you Linux there yet?

• 4:53Speaker 01

  No, I still have the MacBook. Like I don't feel like going to IT and asking them for a Linux thing. And then like I was talking to other people that use Linux and sometimes they have problems with some of the stuff. And I was like, ah, yeah, all right. I'll just rather just keep it on my personal stuff. It's like the downside right now is I'm still.

• 5:07Speaker 02

  Have them separate too.

• 5:08Speaker 01

  Yeah, the downside is just like the hardware is terrible that I'm using. So, so I have to use all the cloud agents and all that stuff. You know what I'm saying?

• 5:17Speaker 02

  I know what you're saying.

• 5:17Speaker 01

  Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So, but otherwise I'm waiting to get a good one. It's just like, I can't, I just, the XPS just rubs me every time I, I'm in the cart. I'm just looking at it. I'm like, I can't do it. I can't do it.

• 5:28Speaker 02

  I'll send in a message today and let you, let them know.

• 5:32Speaker 00

  No, it's, I will, it's actually an excellent point. Having to pay Microsoft $100 to run Linux is a punch in the gut for people who want to run Linux.

• 5:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, and it just comes with Copilot. Like I don't want Copilot, just take off Windows, take off Copilot, just give me the laptop.

• 5:47Speaker 03

  Does the laptop have a Copilot key?

• 5:50Speaker 01

  I think it actually does.

• 5:51Speaker 02

  But you can get it. Well, actually it's not, uh, we got ours, they gave us Omachi keys instead.

• 5:57Speaker 01

  What?

• 5:59Speaker 03

  Yeah. If a laptop has a Copilot key, I simply would not ever use it. I'm like, no, that goes with the.

• 6:04Speaker 02

  That's a pretty fair, it's a pretty fair.

• 6:06Speaker 01

  That's why I just can't do it.

• 6:07Speaker 02

  Draw in the sand. Yeah.

• 6:09Speaker 00

  By the sand, he means the silicon.

• 6:11Speaker 02

  This podcast episode could be the place where they decide it's time to put in a line, a non-Copilot line. Michael Dell himself said, if there's enough demand, they'll do it. He said so on X.com, the everything application.

  Formerly known as X, now it's SpaceX.

• 6:30Speaker 03

  X. What is it? Which way is it now? Is it SpaceX's X?

• 6:35Speaker 01

  SpaceX dash AI slash cursor.

• 6:38Speaker 00

  Is the space implied? So it's just like X, space? You know, like space is actually like there, but you don't say it?

• 6:46Speaker 03

  All right, we're way off the rails here and Trash has to go. So thank you everyone for joining us for this parking lot. Yeah. Uh, or whatever it was just called. I don't know what that means. It's, we've had a wonderful time. Trash has to go.

• 6:59Speaker 02

  Great point.

• 7:00Speaker 01

  Going on a plane.

• 7:00Speaker 03

  Thanks for keeping us on track. Bye Trash, we'll miss you.
