Good morning and welcome. How are you? Fine. Happy Mada Raka Day. Happy Mada Raka Day too. What are you celebrating this Mada Raka Day? Thank you God because of life though not that easy. First of all I want to greet my viewers and tell them happy Mada Raka Day. Although it has come at a different way, not as usual. And all this has been caused by COVID-19. Also I want to greet my wife who is Faith Magdalene wherever she is. She is very intercessor, she is power of intercessor and praying for us. So I want to also greet the viewers the whole Kenya and maybe to tell them things will be okay. However tough it might be but things will be okay very soon. I know people are praying and also praying for our country. And also people are praying for the whole world. Personally as Pastor Mangeta I know very soon things will come to normal. So that has no any worry. Whatever has the beginning has the end. COVID-19 is just a name but Jesus is above all names. And I'm sure it has been a pronoun that is very very crucial and it has also denied our rights. Special people are affected. And I'm sure when the church is affected, the church is backbone for everything. Because we cannot do physical but we normally do it spiritually. So the church is seriously affected and I'm praying about that wherever there may be viewing for me, any kind of prayer that is made, let believers not lose hope. Things will be just okay very soon. Me I believe that. I love the faith in that. Now COVID-19 has had an impact to most of the families and most of the persons. And since it is affecting human, it is affecting our way of life, our sense of belonging. There have been cases of gender-based violence because people are back home. You don't have money. This is your family. They need to eat. They need to be sheltered. People have difficulties in paying their rents. At such a particular time now, how can now one find their sense of belonging in the little things they can do? And then how can we now embrace each other even during this pandemic? Hila, thank you for also expressing that. One thing that I know government, they have their own role that they are doing for the families and also the communities. And also you have some organization also they are doing it, which is very important. And personally on my views, what I can say, they also have allowed the church to participate in this fully because government they will do it. But the church also must need their members in a different way and also candle them. People are really mentally disturbed. People are frustrated.  We have been hearing about cases. People are frustrated. Wife and husband are quarreling. They are fighting. Gender violence has really gone high.  If you lack them, definitely what will be next? There will be no peace. The church has lacked something to do in this community during this COVID-19. Pasta is silent in their houses and the church members are also silent wherever they are. Communication, they can talk that maybe we can talk through internet, we can talk through phone. Do you know that we have some church members even they don't have internet, they don't have smartphones. We have some also church members who cannot even access phones. Infact even some they have their phones and they cannot even have great even to call their pastors. And even pastor has even great to call their church members. So what I could maybe suggest personally to the government if they can the very obedient people in this world. I think it's the church. The church is the most obedient people and they follow instructions according to Romans chapter 13 verse 1. The Bible says obey the law because it is ordained by the Lord. Any authority given and any power given according to the Bible, we obey it. We submit under it because it is godly. But now what the government has done, they have isolated the church. They have put pastors aside. I think I remember very well the time COVID-19 was starting. There are nothing to be mentioned like pastor. Nothing was mentioned like a church. They didn't want to hear about pastors. But now right now where things are going and where things are heading to, the government will come back to the church. And I'm assuring you if the things will continue the way they are continuing. You will hear president himself or you will hear whoever is in the leadership. Aging the pastors to pray for the nation. Because they started and they isolated the church. And the time is coming that they need pastors to intervene. The pastor is the key person who can meet the last person in the community. Pastor knows their names and remember Hillary, every community has a pastor. And the pastor has congregants. And now where the MCAs, where the MPs, where the governors cannot even do, they cannot even reach them. And we as pastors, me as pastors, I know my church members, I know their weaknesses. There is someone that within my church, even if cannot be maintained by spiritual food, will suffer. So the government has lacked several things. Government has lacked employment. And the government is lacking now the proper structure plans to feed the government, to feed the whole country. Where by 100% sure this food they are distributing, some food will not even reach to them, on the ground to the people. But pastor, the question of gender-based violence is basically on the people themselves, on how they feel, their emotions, their feelings, they are not able to meet this and that. Now maybe you could tell me how will the church help these particular persons. I don't know, maybe you are no longer doing the pastor in the community. How would the church help these particular persons who are suffering from gender-based violence at such a particular time? Now Hilary, you are asking a very good question. First of all before reaching to this person, you can't just say that how will you help the first thing you have to reach them. And remember just some past days, cases on media, 15 people are gathering and the government arrested. You see, even two people, I had about three elders just in the church, three. And the government came under, arrested. And I had also about a pastor who was in the house, I think was just a home fellowship. Also they were arrested. So it has become so hard even pastor reaching their church members and candling them. Even if you meet a few however you might be, you find challenges will arise still. And that's why you have come with a very good question and I can just maybe add the government with all the authority that they have. They have also to measure and see the church has also something role to play in the community. And this gender-based violence, what I'll talk about is only one thing, people are frustrated. And if someone is frustrated, is frustrated for mentally. We need also to candle these people, we need to pray for them. I can give you hope and that hope can sustain even for a few days or some years to come. And this is the area for pastor. This is not the area for MP, this is not the area for parliament. And I thank God from Taikagu has been announcing all the time and he has been doing a very good job in this real country. COVID-19 is a disaster, not in Kenya alone. COVID-19 has been really hitting the whole nations and even those superpower nations. What I can just say that pastors however they are, however tough it might be, also they make effort reaching the members in different communities. And also church has been really doing a good work in the community. If pastor can even have something to give out because it's not that we are supposed to give out only spiritual food. If pastor you are in a position and you can also visit the family and you can manage to provide something. Pastor has been doing it and I'm happy about it. But that kind of limitation is what I'm adding to the government and I'm sure they are getting whatever they are in a clear way. Let them do something. I have met several pastors, I have met Bishop Manfu, I have met Pastor Mudagri, I have met Bishop Masinde, I have met Bishop Pundeda. I have met several bishops wherever they are and they have been talking about it. Others I told them I'm coming to the studio. They are crying what should be there but at least if they can get just opportunity. I met Pazavinka from Kisumu and they are calling me. So I have come with the work of the government. Right now there is freedom of worship. Can they come out with a strategy and also a better plan to make a pastor how they can reach their church members but in a very disciplined way. Because we have to sanitize ourselves. We are here with you in the studio. Can we measure the meters that we are right now? That's very good. They have not even tried a pastor if we can measure the distance that's one meter and a half which is very important. But if gender violence is not going to be mentioned the church pastors are not going to work on it several times and pray over it and cancel our church members, the government of Kenya will face it in a tough way. Pastor you have mentioned about frustrations and I'm seeing this particular man in this house or this particular woman. They have kids in the house. These persons have frustrated, they have lost their jobs. The mental health is not okay. How is the church going to help these particular persons now coming out because we have counselors and when the counselors come in they will have to pay. But as a pastor I'm part of your congregation.  So now we need also to put things in order Mr. Hillary. Why am I saying so? Do you know the government has completely forgotten about that pastors also they are living creatures in this nation. They are not concerned with the pastors. You can mention teachers, you can mention doctors, you can mention other people but when they reach pastors pastors will forgotten. It's like pastors are not living creatures and the pastors are really playing a very big role in this nation. Pasta is disturbed, frustrated mentally and also physical and everything. Pasta is in a better position to do it. Now here we are meeting a pastor who has not been mentioned even with the government and they are not even even the chief within the area even the head man within the community it's not considering pastor and you have seen so much time pastor is arrested together with the church members and in the same scene so now you wonder even if you go to give an offer to your church member you are put in one cup or in whatever pot and frustrated together there so if we can reach these people better let them also give pastor a certain title respect pastor what they are doing. It's not that pastor they are not doing nothing even this the government Are you saying you should be included in the essential service providers? Very important Mr. Hiller why? I am the person who knows even to the last person in the community and if they are mentioning that now they want to divide this they want to divide that pastor cannot be mentioned pastor should be mentioned chief from PMCA the people within the area can they call pastor that they know and even we have pastors fellowships we have them that we know bishop kamaa is there we have bishops that I can mention we have chairman didako is there people that we know very well they can do these things better and even bishops in this country bishop kitonga bishop makariuki these are the main that we can mention in this world and in this also nation they have really tirelessly served God to their age, time, wherever they are nothing is mentioned like they charge the government has not even mentioned and that's why I have come to the studio to urge to the nation to urge to the country wherever they are even the time they consider other people we also consider pastors pastors can do both pastors can pray and also pastors can provide but still as you ask the question we are reaching these people we are praying for them we are standing in the gap but now the question comes we are frustrated together so now even if I come to you as my church member I'm not coming when I'm free I have no title with the government I have no any respect with the government we are listening to me let them also consider men of God and women of God as vessels that are also contributing a lot to this nation actually I want us to finish what you just mentioned that you are going to give someone maybe hope and that's where I want to come as we finish we are running out of time the optimism is in bit people have been frustrated it's true everyone is looking forward to a better tomorrow a tomorrow that we cannot see but biblically and spiritually we are told of having hope how are you now going to give this person hope even though you yourself as a pastor you are still caught up in the same situation how are you going to give these people hope we have been doing it we have been trying so much even reaching them through the form we have been trying all by means praying for them because now it's only prayer and if pastor I have seen several pastors even we have so many groups even I personally if church members come to me I wear the situation if I have something I have to give out and I can also add it to the pastors you see pastors also they have their problem they were created to receive mostly pastors receive pastors receive COVID-19 if pastor you are in a position also you can give a hand of help so we can also do our level best pastors whatever you are listening to me whatever you can do as you offer spiritual food can you also stretch your hand like now the Bible says go in peace and let the faith keep you faith without action is completely dead as we are fighting for the churches and I'm sure very soon government is going to consider churches they are going to consider churches for worship even if the measure is 15 people and now maybe my congregation is 500 15 people measure that church or 15 people in 500 congregates you see it's a big space if the government will consider give us also some way to follow like now who is organized like the church bars are opening supermarkets those are very important things but also they have to consider the church so that pastors can be in a better position to reach but I can assure you we have been reaching them we have been praying for them and we have been comforting them but the percentages in the community people are at least they are much disciplined because if we hear the news reporting news comes and the media reporting we come back to our people please santize yourself keep distance because that's only the way that also pastors can motivate and encourage there and I'm telling you Mr. Hiller church members they believe they are pastors like nothing even if president will announce something the final person because faith is very important the final person also will be their pastor and we have been really going together hand in hand with the government and we have been supporting one another because it is now our time government to remember pastors and our church members I can assure you no one loves their church members like a pastor it is inside not just pretending a pastor can be having a thousand members but still value one member I don't know it's a burden God gave them and you find that pastors are trying their all means reaching their church members I'm happy for hosting me today and I'm sure whatever the message have passed it will reach to many people and I'm hoping what you have highlighted here may be what the churches need is the protocol and the guidelines on how to have the churches back may be it could be in the president's speech but no one knows until we can hear it things will come back very important mangeti for coming and sharing your opinion and ideas thank you so much and interviews coming up next on how can we adapt to using our masks at this particular time we have had complaints we have had people say this but then we need to understand a few things in our hearing and communication will be speaking to Dr. Wahome thank you so much for keeping us company we take a very good morning

Gaffa three points back to winning ways on the road this afternoon, pleased with that. I thought we were excellent, you got our noses in front. Probably didn't keep the lead for long enough. We talked about it again, the early goal and then controlling the game from that point, but finished to them they reacted and second half I thought we were excellent in terms of really understanding what was required, stood up to the physicality of it, put balls into good areas, good introduction from Kearn had an almost instant impact and that's what you want your subs to do and we finished the game quite comfortable. One of the main takeouts from Tuesday was converting that dominance that we had into goals three today and obviously getting off on the right for five minutes.  I think we did that second half and the answer was well they didn't really have any real momentum to their play, didn't really have us under any sustained pressure and as a consequence we were able to see the game are quite comfortable. You mentioned Kearn coming on making an impact, two more goals for Andy Cook as well and to have that depth in attacking areas, you're also coming on Lee Angle hitting the crossbar and going close as good isn't it? Yeah yeah we've got to have that threat I think when we can mix things up and if things aren't quite going away or guys are just feeling the effects of two games in a week as we've had it's been really hard week I have to say given the travelling we did but to have those options on the bench to come on to give us that freshness and no lack of ability as well as if the sand has dropped when I make substitutions it's really a positive move whenever I bring anybody on. Just over 700 supporters over TLF just about finished chanting your name there but how good were they this afternoon? Brilliant something they never cease to surprise us the amount of numbers they're coming and hurt them all day, got behind the lads and whenever we show positive play they're right behind us, that's what we want, that's what we need but we only get it if we give them some of the cheer and thankfully they've had a good day on the road so yeah we'll all enjoy it tonight And a great way to prepare round 2 on Tuesday night home to Blackburn? Yeah it was important to get back to winning ways and that will put us in good heart for Tuesday another big test for us but I think we'll enjoy it we've got nothing to lose, we're going to give it a good shot and see what it takes us, I think it'll be a good game hopefully we'll get a decent crowd, I think everybody who came to the last game still really enjoyed it, it was a great atmosphere on the night so hopefully more of the same


I've been primarily a Linux user for many, many years now. And one of the real sticking points, one of the things that we love to debate a little bit in the Linux community, is system trays and system tray applications. Are system trays bad design? Are system trays necessary? Do you really need all of that stuff sitting in a system tray? Should many of these applications that sit in the system tray, should they quit minimizing themselves into a system tray? These are things that we need to discuss because I do think, in a lot of ways, one of the things that holds Linux back is really poor UX, user experience. And I do think the system tray is one of those things that we need to work on a little bit. Let me switch over to my desktop. For those of you not familiar with what the system tray is, we typically shorten it to just one word, sys tray. The sys tray is an area on your desktop environment or window manager's panel, where typically these applications that are sys tray applications, they minimize to just an icon that sits in the tray. So these are the sys tray applications here. And sys tray is short for system tray because these applications originally were meant to be just icons that were indicators of a system state. For example, if I go back to my sys tray, this is the network manager icon. That particular icon is letting me know that right now I'm connected to the internet. It's letting me know my ethernet connection is working. Now if for some reason the internet was down, that icon would be a different icon. It'd be a different color or have an X on it or whatever it happens to be. That would let me know that I'm not connected to the internet. Another system tray application that many of you guys will have will be a volume indicator application, just letting you know, hey, volume is either on or right now your volume is muted. That's all it is. And that's what those sys tray apps were originally designed to be. It's just letting you know about a system state. Unfortunately, these days there is a ton of crap that gets thrown in the sys tray that really doesn't belong there. Now on my system, I don't have a ton of these system tray applications, but I do have a couple of them that seem pointless. Here is a great example, this last icon here. That is the OBS icon and it's got the little red dot on it, letting me know right now, OBS is recording video. Well why do I need that OBS icon there? I'm actually got the OBS window open. I opened OBS, I pressed start recording. I know it's recording. I don't need the icon there. That icon for OBS and the system tray serves absolutely no purpose. I've been doing this YouTube channel now for about six years and I've used OBS almost entirely that whole time. I've recorded probably fourteen, maybe fifteen hundred videos using OBS. Never once, never a single time have I ever went to the system tray to do anything with OBS to see if I was recording or to click on the icon to, I don't know, press play or pause or whatever it happens to be. I've never done that. I never will do that because I have the main OBS window open while I'm recording. Anyway, this is just, this is strange. That icon doesn't need to be there, right? That is an application that is improperly using the SysTrade. The next cloud icon that's right next to it is one that's kind of iffy because it's letting me know that my next cloud server right now is synced to the local folders here on this computer so it has the checkbox. I would say that's probably useful and that's more of what the application with the SysTrade is actually designed for. Some examples of some really bad SysTrade applications would be things like Discord, Slack, Zoom, Spotify, various multimedia players where you're playing audio or video, chat clients, things like that, that when you close them out, they don't really close. They just hide themselves in the SysTrade. Some of these applications are almost kind of devious the way they hide themselves from the user. I'm still running in the background but I don't want you to know about it. I'm just going to sneak over here into the SysTrade. I'm still running. You just won't know about none of these applications, things like Discord and Zoom, all these various electron apps and things that often minimize to the SysTrade. They give you no information in that SysTrade applet, right? The only thing they sit there for is every now and then you'll get a notification like somebody blah, blah, blah, Joe Bob just sent you a new message on Discord. Okay. Well, if it's going to pop up in a notification window on my screen, I'm going to get the notification message, why do I need that icon sitting in the SysTrade? It has never made sense to me. To be honest, I've been using Linux now primarily for about 15, 16 years and I would say most of that time I actually have never used a SysTrade. I actually did not use a SysTrade for many, many, many years up until the point where I started doing this YouTube channel and even the first couple of years of the YouTube channel I typically didn't use a SysTrade at all. I only started adding SysTrade to some of my various window manager configurations. It's because some of you guys that were using my configurations wanted SysTrade. So I added SysTrade to some of these window managers like X-ModeEd and Qtile and things like that. It's mainly for you guys, your convenience because I know so many of you guys are addicted to the SysTrade and you want that. So I put those in my configs, but honestly, is a SysTrade necessary? No, it's not necessary at all. Again, I went years without using a SysTrade and I recommend actually giving that a try. I think you'd be shocked at how useless the SysTrade is. One of the open source software projects that I think has the right idea about SysTrade is actually the GNOME project because I've been very critical of GNOME over a lot of things that they've done with their desktop environment. But one thing that they have done right is they've kind of gotten rid of the SysTrade. They have this quick settings menu here in the latest GNOME 45 that includes some of those basic, you know, system state things such as the volume slider here letting you know if your volume is muted or not and things like that. You've got your session menu for your logging out and things like that. But you don't really have a SysTrade. If I launch some system tray application that I had installed, it actually will not appear in this because this is its own kind of GNOME centric quick settings menu is what they call it, right? It's not really a system tray. One of the things that Ubuntu does with the GNOME desktop environment is they actually do have a system tray extension that is installed. There is an area out to the side of the standard GNOME quick settings area. There is an area for system tray applications. I installed the snap package for Discord off camera. And if I launched Discord, you can see the icon sits right there in the system tray area. Now, why does that need to be there? I don't know because it's going to open Discord or at least try to open Discord via the web browser is going to go to the website. Or I could use the Electron desktop client as well. It looked like it was going to open both. Why do I need that? It's essentially acting like a quick launcher. But why couldn't I just put a quick launcher on my panel here in GNOME or whatever desktop environment or window manager I was using? Why couldn't I just have a quick launcher that I could? I mean, that's what this area is for, right? This system tray area is should not act as an area for quick launchers. It makes no sense. Again, it's confusing for the user. And even for me, I've been using Linux forever. And it still confuses me when I install the application that for whatever reason decides to throw itself in the system tray area. One of the things that really confuses me is like clipboard managers, clipboard programs. Why do I need an application for my clipboard sitting in the system tray? I can actually have a quick launcher for my clipboard in the panel anyway to quickly bring up the clipboard when I need it. And one thing I should mention since I did show that Ubuntu does add SysTrays back to GNOME. If you're one of these people that can't live without system trays, make sure you install the extension manager. The extension manager, of course, is for GNOME extensions. So go install extension manager. I think it's available as a flat pack and probably as a snap. I'm not I don't remember exactly how I installed it here on Ubuntu. It's probably also in the standard repositories. But when you have the extension manager installed, one of the things that Ubuntu has is the app indicators extension. And that app indicators extension is actually the SysTray. Now, for me, again, I think GNOME is going in the right direction. By default, they don't have a SysTray. And of course, you can always add one via an extension. But I think that's smart is, hey, we're the most popular desktop environment on Linux. We don't have a SysTray. So all of you guys that are throwing your applications into the system SysTray area, stop doing that because honestly, it's confusing for the users. It's a UX nightmare. It's just it's just a bad design. Me personally, I've always been more minimalist in my desktop environments and window managers if I go back to my actual desktop. You see, I have a panel here in Qtel. I'm using the Qtel window manager, but I have, you know, workspace information, layout information and various widgets here. But I don't really have any quick launchers. I don't have a quick launcher to launch anything. So I don't do that. Now, really, again, for years, I didn't even need a SysTray. The SysTray area, again, here, it's in my config, mainly for you guys that want to use my configs. I've got the SysTray there in case you need it. But I don't need any of that, right?  You know, if I'm using GNOME for whatever reason on a machine, you know, I'm going to use a run launcher to launch everything, right? And I find that less confusing because everything gets launched the same way. And when I launch something, I expect it to launch the same way. I expect a window to open on the screen. And when I close it, I expect those windows to close the same way as in when I close the program, it needs to actually close. It doesn't need to still secretly run in the background and throw an icon in the system tray. No, no, no, again, that's just poor design. But that's enough of me running on this topic. What do you guys think? I'd love to hear from you in the comments down below. Let me know, do you use a SysTray? Do you not use a SysTray? Do you think a SysTray is actually necessary or not? Now, before I go, I need to think of you special people. I need to think the producers of this episode. And of course, I'm talking about Gabe James, Matt Paul, Wes, Armored Dragon, Commander Ingrid, George Lee, Methos Nate, Erion Paul, Peace, Archimdor, Realities for Lust, Red Prophet, Roland, Solace, Retools, Devler, Wargentoo, and Ubuntu, and Willie. These guys, they're my hot steered patrons over on Patreon. Without these guys, my little rant about SysTrays and their unnecessariousness, is that even a word? This video would not have been possible. The show is also brought to you by each and every one of these fine ladies and gentlemen. All these names you're seeing on the screen right now. These are all my supporters over on Patreon because I don't have any corporate sponsors. I'm sponsored by you guys, the community. If you like my work and want to see more videos about Linux, free and open source software, subscribe to DistroTube over on Patreon. Peace guys. Unnecessariousness, I really should have re-recorded that.
