Senators Burr & Feinstein Look To Bring Back Bill To Outlaw Real Encryption

Julian Sanchez got his hands on one of a few prospective new drafts that are being floated around and has an analysis of the update. The draft that Sanchez has seen tries to fix some of the problems, but doesn’t really fix the main problems of the bill. As Sanchez points out he sees four major changes in the draft:

Ubuntu Touch OTA-13 to Be Released on September 14, Add Numerous Improvements

The biggest attractions of the OTA-13 update will be support for Android 6.0 BSP (Board Support Packages), which opens the gate to new Ubuntu Phones and Tablets, and repowerd, a new power manager that promises major battery life improvements. There should also be copy-paste support.

Subject: Linux guru talks about the linux desktop

Message: Hey guys, thanks so much for all the shows you do. Check out this video I found of Linux! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpDdGOKZ3dg

Name: James S
Subject: Switched to an Arch-based distro

Message: I recently made the jump to Parabola GNU/Linux (essentially Arch, but using the Linux-libre kernel and FSF supported) and I am very glad that I did. I now have the latest packages available at my fingertips and I don’t have to worry about support running out. I’m not going to lie, I was skeptical about installing an Arch-based distro (being a Debian/Ubuntu/Trisquel guy for the past… I don’t know how many years), but the experience of going through and installing an Arch-based distro from the ground up was worth it.

And one last thing… systemd… this init system is so freaking easy to use. I know what the hype is all about now. Love it. Love it. Love it.

Oh, and one final thing (I promise), I am enjoying using Gnome as my desktop environment after using i3 for a while.

Great show. Keep it up.
