In today's video, I'm opening up never-before-seen Yu-Gi-Oh Mystery Boxes. What's up guys? We're back with another Yu-Gi-Oh Mystery Box opening. So first of all, we have a before-seen Yu-Gi-Oh Mystery Box. We have the Chaos Box. Then we have a Mystery Box OCG, which includes both TCG and OCG packs. One TCG pack, 15 OCG packs. As you can see, this is not much of a box. It's more like made out of paper. It's very interesting. And then finally, a different version of a limited holiday edition. So these two were sent to me by the one, the only Dr. Chicken's, the craziest man in all of Yu-Gi-Oh. He's done many things like open packs with snakes, open packs in the water, open packs in the, like buried in the sand. He's done a lot of crazy stuff like that. So go check him out if you guys want to see some of the crazy stuff that he does. And let's see what he sent us in these boxes. All right, so we are going to start off with this first non-limited holiday edition one. So he sent me one of these earlier and then one like a little bit later. I realized I had both at the same time. So I was like, why not do them both in one video? Oh yeah, by the way, giveaway. Every single card in this video will be given away to one of you guys. So OCG, TCG, Chaos Box, Dr. Chicken, Mystery Box, all in the giveaway. So make sure to like the video, be subscribed to our notifications. And let me know down below what you think about these mystery boxes. I got to, this thing's kind of sharp.  Okay, I'm going to cut this open. That should help. Okay. Yeah. There we go. Cause it's like made out of paper. So it's like, you know, paper-cutting. You got to be careful. You don't want to get paper-cutting. Let's see what kind of packs we have. So first of all, we have a Duelist Pack Zane. Okay. This is Korean. So I'm expecting a lot of Korean for the OCG. I suspect they will all be Korean, but who knows? Maybe we'll get some Japanese packs, which would be pretty amazing. I also forgot to mention, we also get some singles. We got 10 holographic OCG cards, five OCG Millennium and Parallel Rares, and then the TCG packs. So let's see what we can pull from the packs. All right. I'm guessing there, oh, there's no pull tab probably cause Korean. It's like, ah, we're too cheap for that.  They can't afford to like put a pull tab on there. All right. Let's see what we get next. Oh, chill out. Let's get a Cyber Dragon. We have power bond. All right. Very cool. Let's see which mystery box can have the most pulls between the mystery box, OCG and then the holiday edition one. We'll have a counter up on the screen. And by the way, that's Hallows pulled from the actual booster packs. Of course. What is this? A Vrains pack too. This is something I've never seen. Okay. That's cool. Vrains. So it's newer cause Vrains, I think is the most recent one besides like, you know, sevens and all that stuff. Let's see what we can get. We got a scrap dog. I don't know. It's went out of Thunder Dragon. It's an interesting combo scrap Wyvern. Nice super rare. I don't know if that's guaranteed those, but who knows if it's guaranteed. We're just going to count. All right. Next pack up OCG. Ooh, light of destruction that we could pull the ghost rare. Honest. Let's do it. Wait. Can you pull ghost shares in Korean? I assume you can, but I feel like I've never seen one before. So can you? I'm not really sure. I know you could pull oldies. That would be pretty cool. We have a, okay. That's these are the arcana force or whatever.  What else can we get? Ooh, there's our TCG pack. Duelist Alliance. That's a sick one actually unlimited edition, but hey, I'm taking that. That's actually pretty cool. These are pretty fun mystery boxes. I'm not going to lie. I think it might be the little weird pack trick where you go like that. We have the yang zingam leash.  See, I don't know if I did the pack trick right or not because yeah, we didn't blame they still a lot of packs left. Don't you worry guys. We've got cybernetic revolution. We've got some good packs in here. I mean, they're Koreans. They're not like crazy valuable, but hey, that's what makes Korean so fun. The Korean packs unlimited at least are very easy to obtain and very fun to open. We have the dragon's mirror, the steam gyroid and we've got a fire darts regular rare. So so far we're at one foil and it might have been a guaranteed foil. I'm not going to lie. Ooh, check this out. Five D's. So I don't really see the five D's Korean as much. So that's pretty cool. Let's see what we can get. This looks like it. I don't know. Is it older? Who knows Korean booster pack? What will it be? We have some card that I don't know. I don't know all the shining darkness that well. Yeah, but it looks like a some sort of stadium and a I don't remember any of these cards. I'm not going to lie. I don't know shining darkness that well. Unfortunately, Ronnie Guardian. Now this one I know a little bit better because it is an old school set and speaking of old school, not really actually, but soon I will be a 200 K subscribers and when we get there, we're going to have an amazing opening. So hit that subscribe button. We're also probably going to be doing a live stream up to 200 K opening some cool sets live. So hopefully we can do that and it'll be fun to trap just shoot. So if you're interested in that hit that subscribe button. We have the locusts or something. No, wait, this is the one you flip upside down. You flip up and down. It's a I can't remember what it's called something locusts or something. We got metamorphosis. This is one of the best packs ever does does shoot and metamorphosis man with the widgets and we've got a missed a bird. I can't remember what he's called. I lost it, but I remember Wing Sage Falcos. Maybe I think that's it. Okay, shadow of infinity. So far, a lot of great packs and a lot of dud pulls and here's another problem with Korean packs. It's 40 in a box and you get the same ratios as the 24 pack boxes. So it's very hard and either eating it very nice very hard to pull actually good cards. We got Neo bubble man and then we've got an adhesive explosive. So that would be a negative toward the Mister box because you know you get a lot of packs though. So it kind of makes up for it. Dualist pack Jane and I don't know which one. There's like three of them. Probably one of the three I would say we have burst into tricks. We've got that guy. We got transcendent wings.  Elemental hero Thunder Giant is very nice. We're still looking and so far no luck invasion of chaos. This is where we could really go for some luck here. It'd be nice. Go for lucky right here. Give us something good. We have the Charmander desperate outlaw. We have that card. I can't remember what it's called. I can't remember it if I really wanted to. Vibious bug Roth. We have the shop grass chopper something like that and rage battle locks. Okay. So yet again, we have failed. Oh, but you know what we could do? Canyon moth. We could pull up Canyon moth right here. It could be insane. The one the only. Oh, we did it. Our first good pull of the mystery box. The canyon moth that will be set aside. Very nice. We got the soul release Trent. We got little swords in a veil and we've got a blue thing. I feel like it just has like one word on that one. I don't know what it is though. All right. We got to be getting close. Okay. This is like dark revelation three. Wait, have you ever noticed his feet before? Is that always there? I think I've ever noticed his feet on the pack. Maybe it's in the crimp usually. It looks weird. He has like little elf elf shoes on. That's okay. I didn't really realize that the creator is an elf. We have pole position. We've got statue. Oh, wait, why is it right in the middle? Oh, wait, there's more cards in this one. There's seven cards in that one. Okay. We got mass dragon in there. That's pretty cool. Extra pack volume three. This one's probably a guaranteed for us. So we probably will hit one out of here. All right. We have the problem is I have no idea with this one. We've got, oh, spell cat. The I remember that guy from early dual links. Okay. And no, apparently it is not guaranteed on that one either. Unfortunately. Well, it looks like the holiday mystery box shouldn't have too much trouble actually beating the some chronicle pack first wave. That sounds pretty fun. There's some really cool Korean packs you could open up and you know, if you get a box, you actually might pull something. Oh, shiny. We've got a vision of faith. That's nice. They're all going to be like this though, Mizuki. This doesn't count as hollows toward our score. We've got a row decree and we've got a D D warrior lady. Those are all pretty nice. They've got a little bit of hobby league field zone, which is pretty interesting. We have a zek soul pack as well. A good variety here in here though, which is pretty nice. It's not all the same packs. Problem is it's so hard to pull anything out of these Korean packs. We have okay. Not much in there. Not much. What's the last? I think this might be the last one world premiere pack 2020. This has to have guaranteed for us in 2020. Yu-Gi-Oh, of course it does. It has something. All right. We have goblin cap shell nothing. It's not guaranteed for us. Wow. Maybe that scrap waiver wasn't guaranteed. So we actually have a real foil. All right. Our last thing in here is the foils that we get. So we have thank you for shopping with Dr. Chickens. Thank you very much, Dr. Chickens for sending me this. We have okay. We've got Imperial order. That's pretty cool. Is this all Korean? That's 20th anniversary. We've got a grand Nios Korean. We've got a ghost bell Korean. That's nice. Summon skull looks good. Sorcerer of dark magic looks great. Book of moon. Oh, ultimate rare Korean, DDM. The different dimension master, I think. It's like expert pack or something? Extra pack? I don't know. We got some cool stuff in there. Honestly, it's a pretty good one. So Gaia is the alternate art. That's really nice. All right. That was pretty sick. Let's open up our chaos box real quick and see if we can get something cool out of here. This one, I guess we can include this in the battle. It's at a severe disadvantage to see how many pulls it can get. But that last one had one foil. So I mean, one non-guaranteed foil. Chaos will ensue when we pull a dimension of chaos. Speaking of chaos, let's go. Let's make some chaos with this ghost rare. You guys are about to be able to win when I pull something. We have the DD Necro slime. Nice. Tempest, Gradle Impact, Kayubi, Rebirth, Wind Vulture. We've got contract change, the Assault Blackwing, Kunai the Drizzle, and Gradle Alligator. Unfortunately, nothing in there. That's just how it's gone today. It has been not good. We have a Spell Ruler 2017 reprint. Not them 25th anniversaries that came out recently.  One, two, three, four. Swap those, I think. Maybe we have Performance of the Sword, Hamburglar Recipe, Igaboon, High Tide, Mechanical Snail, Sonic Bird, Liquid Beast. We got a UFO Turtle and Fairy's Hand Mirror. We are over two to start on this one. But am I surprised? Not really, Matt. Oh, I was about to say Mash Blossom. Maximum Crisis is what I'm trying to say. Let's go. One, two, three, Ash Blossom, Secret Rare. Let's do it. Onokuji, Kaiser Sea Snake, Disciples of the True Dragon Phoenix, Firecracker, the Zodiac, Prologue, D.D. Ghost, Silver Princess Sprite. That's a super, so that means we did not get anything. It is a foil, but it's guaranteed, so it doesn't count. Two more packs. Okay, so Megaton's going to get a guaranteed foil, so it doesn't really, it's kind of, they're kind of at a huge disadvantage here. The foil thing doesn't really translate that well with these Megaton, because you get like four foils in these. Shuffle Reborn, Dark Doryado, Shurnui, Fragender, Ignite Paladin, Tune, that's a Tune Cyber Dragon. It's pretty good. Ignite Templar, Ultra. We have Clearwing Synchro Secret. That's a nice one. And then the number S3090 Tobio Prime, and then the Trick Box. It's like Dwayne Wade's new show. Desplod Jets. Okay, not bad. Honestly, a pretty good Megaton, 17 pack or 16 pack. Cybernetic Horizon. Now, you got to give us something above a super to count. So far, no foils in terms of non-guaranteed. It's a little bit of a difficult task for a mystery box with 2017 and on packs. Basically, Restoration Point Guard. Oh, Point Guard. We got Cupid. We got, ooh, Super. Okay. Didn't do the pack trick, right? Guaranteed Super. Nothing crazy, but we're going to pull the foil in this next mystery box. Holiday Mystery Box. This is the best way I can show you guys. Come on, baby. This is it. This is where we turned it around. In this one, it's an OCG Booster Pack 15. $10 graphics. Same thing, basically, except I guess more holiday-like. I'm not sure what the difference is. First pack, we have a Prismatic Art Collection. That sounds promising. That sounds like it's going to have guaranteed foils, I think. Let's see what it's going to be. We have a, oh, wait. No, it's just these again. Wait, did we get one of these last time? Ash Blossom. Whoa. Oh, wait. That's a hollow. Wait. Oh, and then a Prismatic Secret Rare Levionaire. Okay. Those are definitely guaranteed. So it's, it's kind of a weird way where we're scoring these, but hey, that's a nice one with the Ash Blossom Super. We'll take that. The reason I wanted to do foils is because I knew it would be really hard to find prices on these and that would be hard. But now the foil thing is making it weird too, but there is a lot of packs that don't guarantee foils in these, mostly actually. So I guess it'll work out. You know, you guys can make your own judgments about which were better. We got Phoenix Enforcer. Cool. I just want to pull a foil out of one of these older Korean packs. And by older, I mean older reprints because I know they were reprinted recently. So they're not actually old. We have Jesse Anderson. Okay. This would be the one we get a foil out of. Jesse Anderson. Something super lame, like Crystal Beast, Ruby Garbongle, super rare. The Crystal Tree. Our first foil. It looks nice. I'm not going to lie. It looks pretty.  Oh my goodness. So now we have, I guess, Tide at one. Jesse Anderson. Crystal Beast.  But I'm not going to lie. That kind of hits. Have they, did they, was it? Kind of looks like an older card. Is that actually a reprint? I don't know. That card looks nice. I'm not going to lie. It looks nice. So I'm kind of really one another pull. Also, we rucks and specialed right into it. Of course, drill warrior. Nice for those Edison decks. We got a double cyclone, I think, and then 80 changer. Still a lot of packs left to go. Oh, rarity collection. This is nice. Rarity collection I like. I really like rarity collection. This could be cool. Come on, rarity collection. I mean, it's still Korean, so it's not that insane, but these are guaranteed supers. But if we pull higher than like an ultra, I think it counts. Foolish burial. We have a side frame Lord Omega. Oh, and an ultra. So I think ultras are minimum guaranteed, but still solemn strikes a crazy one. Rarity collection is awesome. I want to get my hands on a little bit more rarity collection. Just a fun thing to open. Chronicle back first edition. So even if it's not Japanese, you could get the Korean version for a lot cheaper as well. So, you know, maybe we could get some more, our hands on some more of that. We got Doom Calibre Knight. We got Mirror Force, Fossil Dynah, Fossil Dynah. Fossil Dynah patch cephalo. There we go. I was like, what is it? Okay. Dimension fissure or fissure dimensional fissure. There we go. That thing is that's got the hobby league texture. That's weird. Okay. Next up, Chronicle pack second wave. I like these the ones we don't get. It's kind of cool to open those up because it's like, I don't know what's going to be in here. Also the white pack kind of looks dope. Okay. Plague spreader. We pulled one of those the other day. Go check it out video up. We have a Insector and we have a regular. I thought it was like a secret or something, but it wasn't just regular parallel foil or whatever. This is called. All right. We have a, oh, our first edition lightning overdrive. Hey, black rose. Anybody one pack magic? One, two, three, four. I'll make it happen right here. That would be pretty wild. Yeah, that would be really wild. Guardian sphinx, world soul. AI challenge you. Scrap raptor, boo boo game. Seneval on Daphne and an ultra rare. Hey, a foil. We did it. A maze attraction or house. We pull the foil guys. That is sick. Okay. I think they just won technically in terms of number of foils, but hey, let's pull something else. Duals revolution effect. Valor ultimate rare. Can you pull that in here? I don't know. I mean, you can in the English version, but I don't know how it works in the Korean. Let's see what we can get. We have other cards. The mole guy and then Amazon's card. Okay. Amazon is a village. I think is what it's called. Rise of destiny ultimate rare. Come on. Give us an ultimate rare Korean card. That'd be fun. It'd be fun. Give it to us. We got the Fox. We've got creator incarnate. We have that little, that little guy. Not Heda. We have back to square one and then a Flint. Okay. Getting down to the last few packs here. We have a cyber dark impact. Pretty cool. Got some GX action going on here. Yu-Gi-Oh GX generation next. Here we go. We have cyber ogre. I think that guy that guy and a what is that guy's name? Can't remember their names. Oh, so hard. We got shadow infinity now. It's like I've seen them so many times. As long as they just slip your mind. We have sand guy. He's like sand moth or something. I don't know if they go keep on maybe don't know that guy, but he looks like he's that that wrestling show where like the guy with the big lips back in the day was on PBS or something. We have DD designated or DD guide and then karma cut. Okay. DD guiding karma cut. Very nice. Oh, forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh card anyone. I saw somebody pulled like the ulti out of a Korean pack the other day. I think they sent me a DM. I think it was Korean. I think it was. I was like, oh, forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh card. All right, we have, let's see if we can pull it. Advanced ritual arts, the gorilla or something like that. I don't know. We have not even a rare in there, man. One day we're going to pull that forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh card. I'm just saying pharaoh servant up next. Not a lot of foils pulled in this video, but it's still been really fun opening some Korean packs. We don't do this very often. We have we want 100 for blue eyes at a Korean pack. So a long time ago, infinite dismissal. We got a rare and then we got a sword hunter. Of course. Of course. We got two more packs. We've got the labyrinth of nightmare, the nightmare labyrinth. What will we pull? Will it be something scary? I don't know. We have a lady panther. I think bio mage bait doll dream sprite and a jam defender nailed that one. I knew all five. I think we have one more pack, which is legend of blue eyes by dragon. And then we have our, you know, foils that we get as well. So keep an eye out because you guys get all the foils that we are everything in here. Really. We have the toss me giants. We have been speaking up. I want to mention this for the end. First of all, subscribe to the channel if you enjoyed the video. Second of all, do not reply to the comment scammers. I keep getting messages. People are getting scammed. People are falling for it. I'm trying to put a disclaimer in every video now like at the beginning. So if you're looking at the screen, you'll know not to reply, but I keep having to say it. I don't want anybody to be scammed. So I'm going to keep saying it. He taught. He know Thomas soul. We have the drooling lizard flower wolf. Of course it ends with a flower wolf and our last few from the man. The myth doctor chickens. Let's see. What did he send us? Will it be epic? Will it be awesome? We have a exodia. Very nice. We have Zork. We have diffusion. We got tree born. Oh, ultimate rare. We just pulled this guy. What's his name? What is his name? Neo something ultimate rare magma. Nios. There we go. Nice. And then Apollosa. That the magma Nios is sick. We have a red as darkness metal. We have Riza. The pretty good selection here out of these extra cards. I'm not going to lie. So even if we didn't pull anything, some pretty solid ones were gifted there in the mystery box.

Good afternoon everyone. It's the the last block of sessions before the end of the day here at Kiwi Picon and Up first we have a talk about how to be nice to people in open source and our presenter today is Katie McLaughlin. If you could make a welcome Thank you very much Good day Hi, I'm Katie. I wear a lot of different hats Sometimes I do software development. Sometimes I do operations and sometimes I like to hack on open source projects Everyone knows who these guys are right? Who doesn't know who these people are? Okay for the one person up the back who's brave enough to put up their hand the one on the left is open stack the one on The right is Docker open stack if you want to know about open stack there's a whole lot of people here that get paid to do that and Docker is containerization. That's really cool. And they have a really cool logo that makes for a really good sticker I've been fortunate enough to be able to contribute to both these projects The Docker people have actually paid me money to fix their stuff It was a whole cryptocurrency of some amount that translated to four cents For the open stack stuff, however, they have this really nice incentive scheme where if you get one commit Accepted upstream you get to call yourself an active tech technical contributor. It doesn't have to be a big commit It just has to get upstream. Would anyone like to know what my commit was? that Removing a delete and putting in a get in documentation because for four years that method to get something said it would delete something Yeah Documentation is important. However, because I'm an active technical contributor. I get to go to stuff like this for free If you get one commit upstream before cutoff dates, I'm not sure when it is you can get to go to Tokyo And I'll give you a free ticket Four days Oh Well, you could have but the next one's probably going to be awesome. Anyway, because I don't know nothing better than Tokyo Never mind. So if you commit to open stack, you call yourself an active technical contributor This is a very nice thing to put on your resume or your LinkedIn and It's a nice thing to do because you get incentives for it This is all code.  If you're using github, there are graphs, there are statistics. There's all this stuff Doesn't really work exactly as you expect. We'll get to that later But you can actually track what you're doing In the open stack land, you've got stack analytics, which will do a whole lot of nice metrics for you Before github changed all their APIs, you had to think all the open source report card Which would show you nice pretty graphs about The percentages of different languages that you coded in and that was very nice as well The problem is This is all code What about everything else? What about the code reviews? What about documentation? What about testing? What about design everything else in the old waterfall structure? What about promotion? What about going to user groups? What about giving presentations? So audience participation time who here has ever developed anything that they've published as open source Okay, how many people have used somebody else's open source code? How many people have taught their colleagues about some open source stuff that they've been working on? How many people have volunteered at an event about teaching people about open source stuff? How many people have spoken at one of these events and How many people have attended of an event and everyone's hands should be up right now because you are at an event You're all awesome. I want everyone to give themselves a clap We'll be doing that a lot These are all contributions that you're doing just by being here by experiencing this there's probably a chance you're going to tell someone that you are at this thing and from there that idea is going to spread and You are going to tell other people and people will learn and people will get interested in Python or whatever it is that you do and That is a contribution that cannot easily be tracked But in open source, this is the stuff that ideas are made of I don't know how many people afterwards are going to be trying out Wagtail, I don't know how many people are going to be trying rock learning But just by being here and hearing about this stuff these projects are going to get a Injection of new fire and new ideas. It's just going to make them even more awesome than they already were so This is fine. I can come up and say oh you guys are awesome, but If you're not here with someone who's saying nice things about you, how can you actually say hey? I'm doing a nice thing Who here knows who this lady is This is Leslie Hawthorn. She is an absolutely amazing human being She started this thing called let's all build a hat rack I'm going to leave this slide up for a couple of minutes while I riff on how awesome she is so you can write it down Because we'll be using this later The blog post up the sorry the short link up there is to her original blog post that she wrote in february about acknowledging the stuff that we do in open source that isn't code And what I've been doing is I thought this was a really good idea So I have been giving a couple of lightning talks on it And that kind of escalated into full-blown talks. So I get to riff on this for a little bit longer So what I've been doing is I've been going around to different communities And giving them a really easy user manual on how to be nice And I've been calling it by this name which is An IKEA manual and if anyone knows Swedish it actually means bad pun Apparently Python people like puns Anyway, the story goes that just up the road or across the island or geography up in Auckland in january Leslie Hawthorn and a lady called Deb Nicholson were meeting over coffee at Linux Conf Australia Leslie is absolutely amazing. She does a whole lot of work with community outreach and developer advocacy Deb is part of the open innovation network which deals with the sharing of open source patents and non-compete agreements between different open source companies They now work together in a foundation called the Sahana Software Foundation They were meeting over coffee at the conference and Deb says this is really great. They're a part of this thing It's one of those places where I can hang my hat It's something I can put on linkedin to show that I'm actually passionate about what I'm doing here And it's something that I can share with other people And Leslie being the amazing person she is picked up on that hat rack idea And turned it into a blog post and a hashtag and trying to be has tried to spread around this idea of thanking people So she's put it into five easy steps in this blog post So step one on how to be nice Write a list of what this person does for you and step two send it to them That's it The other stuff is gravy on top because if you put it on twitter and say hi, this person is really nice Then they get a little bit of praise outside of just a personal communication If you're really really nice You could give them a recommendation on linkedin Which is something that they can actually show and take with them As they go around to other employment opportunities and that can actually really be beneficial The final step is do it for someone that's not like you If you're a developer do it for someone who does your testing If you're a project manager do it for your designer all this other The mishmash of different Specializations that we have in open source Means that we have all these people that aren't like us that we can cross these boundaries and build a community Of people that are nice to each other and it makes connections and everyone's happy and everyone's Everyone's awesome Because everyone is awesome in their own little ways the problem Is that this has got to be The eighth time that i've done this talk I've done it for python communities for php communities for devops for apple communities. I've done it in such Wonderful locations as sydney melbourne brisman wellington. You know the big ones and I don't get a lot of people afterwards that actually Use this hashtag or continue being nice in a way that I can actually track The only exception to this was pycon au where I refused to get off stage until the amount of tweets were hit I'm not going to do that again today because you people are going to hit that before I even ask whether it's being done, right You did copy down the hashtag earlier. Yes So This is where the live demo comes in and this is going to be really fun because I'm not actually going to be touching my computer I'm going to be talking to chris Hi chris Does everyone know chris Who doesn't know chris? Okay, how about you stand up so people can see you So this is christopher noigabao. He is our Internationally renowned lightning talk za he is a very nice individual He's done so much work with the different python communities helping behind the scenes running conferences He's running a small conference called linux confiner year in a bit's time And he's a really nice person and I think everyone should give him a little bit of a clap Second live demo christopher Someone was just nice to you. What do you say? For the recording he has no idea what to say see You remember what happened last time this happened. Yes. Thank you. Katie. Thank you. Oh goodness Okay, you're learning because last time you yelled about this on twitter And the last time I said you laughed you yelled at me about this on twitter you then yelled about it on twitter again In a self-referential way that I just thought was amazing. I had to share that Thing is This kind of thing on twitter just kind of ends up snowballing where people think that they can do the thing that someone else has done Because last time I gave this talk I also thanked tom over in the corner and he decided to yell about the fact that he was being thanked as well And it took a third party to actually calm these people down to actually say no, you're actually pretty awesome Why why can't we take a compliment? Minimisation is pretty much the antinom of exaggeration It's the old are now she'll be right mate. It's a bad Australian accent. I am Australian by the way We understate all the things that we do pretty much because we're scared Of this bad boy here because anytime that we're put under the spotlight We think that we're being singled out and something bad's going to happen to us You've also got this one Which is really not a thing that anyone here should ever think that this applies to them because everyone is awesome And it's not just me saying that it's the people who have been thanking you One way that we can get over this is by acknowledging our own achievements Because if we can acknowledge things that we do that are good ourselves Then we can start seeing that in other people and thanking them and then accepting those thanks when they come to us So here's a picture of a doughnut This doughnut is a doughnut that was consumed by one Lara Hogan on the event of finishing her book If you saw this on instagram you'd think it's a picture of a doughnut But the message accompanying this about the fact that she just completed a book Is her way of saying I did something good. I deserve a doughnut I got to have my own doughnut the other day Because I happened to be in a place In melbourne for a conference called dev world Where a speaker had to pull out of the last minute and someone asked hey, you're a speaker Could you fill in this slot? So I did this talk there and I gave myself a doughnut and it was a very delicious doughnut Not all contributions are doughnuts But we can still have our own sort of I did a good thing Just for the little tiny things And if you want to see what difference a whole lot of little tiny things can make Stack overflow there's a whole lot of swag that was out on the tables. It's probably all gone now But can anyone have a guess as to The statistics of stack overflow by now say how many questions have been asked Someone's been reading the internet 10 million questions have been asked on stack overflow in the last couple of years And 16 million solutions have been given it's the equivalent of over 50,000 times the size of wikipedia in people helping other people and That's how many times the developer has found a solution Because all these individual people Asking questions answering questions developing a community within this system Have helped so many people Nearly two billion hours have been saved according to their data 8 million developers go there every day to help Or to be helped And it's all these little things that just add up into this amazing community and If you're a person that's involved in a project that has their own tag on this system The people who are answering your questions about your system Other you're They're your free support. They're your free q&a people. These are the people Who from the generosity of their own hearts want to help your project succeed by answering questions These are the people that you should be thanking but Why Why would you thank these people? Because it's nice It's nice to be thanked There might be a little blush sometimes, but it's nice to feel that oh, I did a good thing And if we encourage that Then we can end up building continued engagement because I know that I'm a very Encourageable person and I often get this happen a lot Where somebody thinks that hey, you're good at a thing You're going to go do this other thing now. It's called being volunt told And it's pretty much how I started public speaking in the first place um Because there was this small conference in Auckland again. Why is it always Auckland? There was this awesome talk about siphon and generating md5 collisions because reasons It was a click-and-point adventure game in a paced bucket. It's a really interesting talk. It's all online Um, I was discussing that I saw this awesome talk with a person I know it if they were and I said That talk was really nice. I think I have a project that people might be interested in. Maybe I should do a talk on that next year I was talking to ben dekara who started the entire conference 10 years before And he retweeted the little thing that said oh, this sounds like a good idea. I know help run this conference It kind of snowballed just a little bit But if you find those people in your community that are accepting of hey, this is a challenge This is something that I can totally do then you can nurture that seed and you can bring in these people into your communities that are going to help you and Make your project awesome One way that I see a lot is people saying in say release notes. Oh, thank you to such and such for doing this thing That's nice. The problem is who's actually going to read your release notes The communication within your project is awesome, but trying to get The communication outside of your little niche is how you spread And it improves the quality of your software because you have more people seeing it and all the other nice fun things about open source Speaking of nice things, this is not one of them. This is the LinkedIn logo. So I don't like LinkedIn It's marketing. It's But The one thing that it does well is it serves as a digital version of a resume where you can say I have done these things. This is me. You can choose to put as much or as little in there as you want The social media aspect of LinkedIn allows you to have recommendations and endorsements So for those of you who don't know you've got the two separate things in LinkedIn where you can say Make a plus one against someone's attributes or you can write them a nice message about something nice that they did And you can put that against some of their experience These are the recommendations and these are the really nice ones When you're filling your LinkedIn profile, you can use one of these 10 categories The problem with LinkedIn for one of the problems with LinkedIn is that you can only have A attribute of someone saying something nice to you against experience or education All this other stuff about your volunteering your awards your skills It's just those two So this is all you have to play with but if you were say doing a whole lot of work say Moderating your project's Wikipedia page Then that's experience put that as experience and then someone can recommend you for that experience Because it is experience It's something that you're doing you may not be being paid for it But it's something that is commendable The flip side of this is endorsements which Aren't particularly helpful because when you end up with something like this and if you know the bottom one i'm apparently uh endorsed in table flipping Yeah But then there's Christopher's endorsement list Teeth Potatoes brochures jigsaw c++. Why would anyone recommend you in these things? Why would anyone why would anyone put russian history in there? Um The table flip one for mine. I actually had to put in myself but some of these do appear in the Moderated list of things so There's maybe there's dentists on linkedin. Of course they know about teeth Chris maybe not so much You have teeth, but are you good at them? That's the question So most people in this room do python. So let's bring it back to something that we know and love Well, we know github User contributions on github This is my profile page I This is not an accurate representation of what I do It says in here if I can read it properly um, I have Things on there that I didn't even know that I had a fork at the 2048 game apparently I did And that green thing at the bottom this thing That is not an accurate representation of how much code I do This is because I have a whole lot of private stuff that I've been doing for various companies that doesn't show in public The problem with this graph Is that there's a gamification side of it that Has a whole lot of issues with it as well How this graph actually works is documented in the little tiny link at the bottom there What actually counts on this graph? It's commits right you do a thing and it gets you get a little green box you do that every day Something happens well nothing you just get a green box Problem is it's not all commits It's only commits against master or the documentation side of your project page, which is gh pages So it's only two branches that count But it's okay because issues and pull requests also count Except they only have to be opened in the last year And they only count if you own the repo or you're a collaborator or you're an owner or you've forked it But commits don't count on forks and there's so many Different things that just limits what's on there So what actually counts Only some of it you could be working for weeks on a branch and then merge it into master and that's just one layer of green This is all just too hard right It's okay Because we're python people we can just pip install rockstar Run it Give it 400 days as an input. This will take your Git configs locally create a hello world Backdate the commit for the last 400 days and fill your graph for you By default this will do a hello world and c++ Because c++ is a thing However, if you say wanted to give yourself five years of swift experience This app allows you to do that and it's totally okay, right? This guy invented swift This may not be an accurate representation, but it's on the rockstar documentation. So it's right. Yeah But if you don't want to have to actually break your github graph What you can do is go to different sites that allow you to Uh, write whatever you want And it's not like github ever actually made money off the fact that they think that the gamification of their graph is a good thing Because they used to sell this t-shirt That's you as a user though. So for the project side Any project you can totally tell exactly who's working on your code, right? because This is reveal. This is reveals home pages of a couple of days ago There's a nice little 142 contributors number up there If I click on that I can see all the contributors. There's nice graphs Except it only shows the top 100 people by lines of code committed to the project This is only some of the contributions and only some of the people that have actually committed things that github say are contributions But what about everything else that goes on in this project? What about the issues that are logged against it? The unmerged pull requests that are going through code review the actual people doing the code review What about feature discussions? What about voting on features? What if there's a way that as a project owner You could commend someone for the work that they do on your project What if instead of having this weird mess of I don't know what I have no control over what's displayed over there You could edit it What if you could change your popular repositories to my repositories? What if you could highlight the code that you were actually proud of? And not just that You could add stuff that wouldn't normally appear on there because it doesn't have enough stars normally And what if you could edit the repositories that you contributed to? What if you could remove ones? That you didn't want to be associated with and add ones that you'd actually committed code to according to github's existing rules And what if you could actually have things on there that you hadn't committed code to? But you had contributed so much in the discussions in the feature voting That the project owner gave you props for that And what if you could remove the green graph altogether? Because that green graph has been attributed to more than one case of burnout Because people want to gamify getting a green graph What if you could do all that what if as a project person you could see who's helping out? There's an app for that. I made it in python. It's called octo hat Because the logo for github is an octo cat and this is a talk about hats so octo hat And you can pip install it because python and packaging is fun Packaging was really fun because I had to get a c python core Developer to actually help me with the packaging So if we were to run octo hat across reveal.js You would see the 142 contributors You would also see a list of every single one of the 435 people within the community on github itself If you were to do it for requests You would see the 350 people who did code And the more than 1200 people that were contributing in other ways to that community And if you wanted to get a little bit better You could actually run it on the community behind rockstar the thing that was gamifying the Graph in the first place and you could see that there are 30 people Committing different versions of the gamification so you could actually make yourself a bash expert or a java expert Etc But you could also see the 38 other people who were putting cat pitches on issues But if you wanted to get really meta you could see that octo hat itself now actually has a community around it A little one But they're totally there because I now have four contributors There's myself Someone who's helped me migrated to python 3 python 3 And someone else who was helping me with some of the dependency chain that was broken And I've also got two people that are requesting features I actually had three as of this morning But one of them moved up to the code contributors because I merged his patch because it worked so This is the thing that we can do to try to be nice to people Because there's really nothing wrong with being nice And because i'm going to get really meta here's a list of all the non-code contributions that i've had to my non-code contribution talk Some of the people who are actually here in this room including chris and or and tom who are amazing people um That's about all I had i'm not sure how i'm going for time We can go through to about 20 past on questions so okay um I will say though The non-code contributors to this talk list is actually a moderated list because I have had other help from people that did not want to be acknowledged And in the question time I would appreciate it if you wanted to say be nice to someone if you'd actually gotten their prior consent because we are recording So if we can keep it just to the technical questions about the app or the get hubs and stuff that would be really appreciated Um Yeah, so are there any questions or katie? Can you talk a little bit about how your octahat works? Okay, so what octahat does is github has an api that it exposes it's got a Big data aggregation, but it's also has a raw api. So what octahat does is for a given repo and repo name so the username and the repo it'll go through every single issue every single pull request and check the person that started it all the comments all the code reviews so the inline ones as well and all the pull requests The interface only displays those issues and pull requests There's actually three different types there So I make sure I get everything out and then it compares that to a list of the actual contributors and works out who's Not put code but actually has commented So you end up getting say the people but a reviewed code but never actually pushed anything in there So you end up doing this nice little dip all the way down There is a feature request in there to make sure that The entire list of code contributors is also printed out because of the 100 capping issue as well So it's pretty much just a api walker However, there are issues with the rate limiting on github because you only get 5 000 requests in an hour So sometimes my travis ci Breaks because i'm trying to check projects are just too big Yeah, so it's just an api walker, but the information's there. It's just not being displayed properly by default Damn you making me walk all the way up the staircase somebody from this side of the room should ask the next question Sorry, that's me not being nice. I apologize um Questions so you know like how a lot of the times you not get Like shown as a contributor to the project even if you answer so many questions I think a lot of the issues like this comes up with not effective github rights management So you have only two right two management as such as You know, you're the owner or you're the contributor or you know, no one else So so like on the github if you closes the issue You it's getting marked on your you know on your green diagram The fact that you closed the issue and so if github would have way more flexible rights management system like github has and also like i'm as one of the major contributors of the countries Would be able to it's a it's a jason project Um, I have over 30 issues closed there by me, but you know, I answered all the questions Oh, there was there was the thing so there was the question So um, I think that probably why a lot of the types You don't get assigned as a contributor and all the cool thing github would have that Okay, so github does have a couple of different levels of Association to a project you can either be part of the organization or for individual users projects You can actually be marked as a contributor However, the popular repositories thing on your user Does not take any of those into account the ones that were on mine. We're from my previous employers I'm no longer involved in those organizations yet. It's still attributed And yet I've gotten commits into rails and it's not coming up there If it was based on stars rails would be up there because they have 50 000 or something the rights management issue If the api for the event stuff was easier to use you could actually see the events for closing At the moment my app will attribute a close affairs and associated comment But There's a whole lot of things because there's just so much data in github They do have the big data aggregation suite, which is all up on Google big data or whatever they call it that stuff is not readily grokable unless you want to cap out even faster So what i'm doing is trying to make it a more sustainable higher end view of the project But if you're using something like gitlab, then you'd have to use their own systems because all mine does for now is just github Because that's what I use Okay, I think we've got time for one more question and I think I saw one over here Um, so do you think it's deliberate that github takes such a limited like approach to to quantifying contributions? And do you think there's a possibility they'll they'll change it? I think there's definitely a possibility that they will change it um with my research in this I have uh Created a few support tickets and contacted a few different people that I know from github I do know that there may be some change coming However, given this is github. There's going to be a whole lot of other political issues as well given the um State of play with a certain project where they attempted to make a code of conduct a thing and other such issues They are a private company they can do what they want, but they're not going to do something that's going to damage their branding So I can't tell you if it's going to change But there are people that are concerned and want change Okay, and with that that is all the time we have if everybody could please thank katie mclochland for a fantastic talk


Well, it is February 3rd, 2014, here in Northeastern New Jersey. And as you can see, I had no idea this was going to happen because I did not watch the news because of the Super Bowl. I just was busy doing other things and I had no idea this was going to happen. Oh, by the way, this is James of Megalife21, the hardest hitting internet talk radio station on the planet. And as you can see, it's a complete blanket of snow. I don't even know what the quality of this video is going to be with all this snow blindness. I don't know what you're able to see right now. Well, I see there's a lot of snow. The worst snowfall of the season of 2014. And it's coming down heavy. And I had no idea I was going to be snowbound this Monday. Not that Mondays are the happiest days of the week anyway. I had no idea I was going to be snowbound. I could smell the gentleman's fireplace going, which I love that smell of burning wood. Like Kenny Rogers used to say, it's the wood that makes it good as far as his barbecue chickens go. Yeah, coming down heavy. I honestly do not know if this video is going to be totally snow blinded and the quality is compromised. But maybe I should just keep it on the bush so you can see if you can the snow coming down. I have no idea how this video is going to turn out. But we are snowbound and I ran out of booze. I have no whiskey, no rum, no wine, no craft beer, nothing in the house. But plenty of hot coffee and hot tea, which is not bad. And hot cocoa. So I will give you an update if possible. I can't see it getting any worse. Oh boy, here we go again. I have to shovel again. But it looks powdery, which means you just push it, you know. But powdery or not, I think I have the heaviest shoveling or snow pushing, plowing by hand this year. So this is, I believe, the third snowfall of 2014. This is the third snowfall for Northeastern New Jersey. The fourth snowfall of the year. If my memory serves me right, you know, like I said before, the person who wrote the song Winter Won the Land probably never had to shovel or dig their car out. But from this view it is very pretty.


How To Become A Successful Motivational Speaker Brendan Bouchard, an American author and the world's leading high-performance coach, once said that we all have a life story and a message that can inspire others to live a better life or run a better business. Why not use that story and message to serve others and grow a real business doing it? Guess what? This is what motivational speaking is all about. Helping people realize that like everyone else who has succeeded in doing something, they can too. A motivational speaker is someone who delivers speeches intending to motivate or inspire the people in the audience. Here's the thing, to be an excellent motivational speaker, you equally have to be an excellent public speaker as well. So learning how to motivate people and address an audience is essential because as a speaker, you will spend most of your time discussing people. Whether you are given a heads up or suddenly called on to do it, it will be up to you to wow your audience or make a mess of yourself. If you're going to be able to pass across your message effectively, sell an idea or paint a vision to a particular set of people or audience without boring them, then public speaking is something you'll have to learn. You see, everyone has a message and everyone has an audience, but not everyone's message is special or unique. However, if you think you have a special message for your audience, what better way to pass it across than to communicate appropriately? This makes you an excellent motivational speaker. Yes, we get it. You get nervous on stage, it's understandable, it's normal because we all feel that way. Marjorie L North, a speech pathologist and lecturer at Harvard University who has been teaching public speaking courses for more than 35 years, says, when your heart starts pounding, you're sweating, your hands are shaking, your knees are shaking, and you feel like you're going to pass out, that's the way everybody feels. So how can you overcome your nervousness and become a great public speaker and motivational speaker in turn? In this video, I'll share with you how to become a successful motivational speaker. If you're new here, consider subscribing so you won't miss other exciting videos like this. Number one, start strong.  If you succeed, you can bet they'll be attentive the whole time. But if you don't, you'll have to work harder to get them to listen to you, which is why it is important to standardize your introduction. Prepare your introduction and rehearse it word for word until you can deliver it in your sleep. According to a top TED Talks research done by Vanessa Van Edwards and her team at Science of People, the team reported that the ratings overall, who people liked overall and who they didn't like, matched whether they'd watched the first seven seconds or the full talk. We think that the brain decides as soon as that person takes the stage and begins speaking, you know what, I'm going to like this talk. Ever heard the phrase knowledge conquers fear? When you take time out to know precisely what you are going to say within the first three to five minutes of your talk, you push nervousness away.  Number two, memorize concepts, not your content. Everyone knows that no one is perfect, so don't try to be. Often we think that the best way to give a flawless speech is to memorize our speech word for word. When you do that, you sound artificial, which is the opposite of what we want to achieve. Besides, when you memorize your script word for word, your mind can go blank at any point, resulting in awkward silences and nervousness once again. It can destabilize you and ruin your presentation. A good idea will be to outline your points rather than writing it all down and reading word for word. It allows the language you use to be more natural. It allows your voice to be more natural and eye contact is better, North says. You're speaking to them about it. I could get up there and read a script from a paper without knowing anything about it, she added. Number three, tell your audience what they stand to gain. When people attend conferences, seminars and other talk events, they do so intending to learn something new and get inspired by the speaker.  Doing this will get their attention and get them interested in your speech because they know you've got a message for them indeed. Remember, the essence of giving a talk is to pass a message across to your audience. So do not get so carried away with your speech that you forget to pay attention to your audience and offer valuable solutions to their needs. Number four, engage with your audience. To engage with your audience, you should take the time to study them. For instance, you can ask questions or have them ask you questions at intervals. It makes you feel less isolated as a speaker and keeps everyone involved with your message. Number five, use experimental and participative training. Public speaker, Michael Port, from time to time makes his audience repeat critical messages back to him, especially take away points of his speech. It keeps the audience involved, but even more brilliantly, it gives them devices to remember the material. You see, the more your audience do, the more they understand, and the more they engage. When you plan your speech, think about how you can involve your audience, so that at the end of the day, you're talking with them and making sense, not just talking to them.

Twice a year we are rewarded with a brand new Ubuntu release and usually on the day of release I will do a video looking at the new features and Talking about everything that's in there But this time I decided to do something a little bit different this time I decided to actually use Ubuntu for almost two weeks I use it a little bit before it was released in beta form and then I upgraded to the stable version That was released that day and then I've been using it ever since now I've been trying to install it on the same hardware that I usually do these distro reviews on which is my main machine This time I was not successful in that that has nothing to do with Ubuntu I'm just having some hard drives problems and I keep forgetting about it It's like I forget that that hard drive is bad and then I spent an hour trying to fix it and it's dead I need to just replace it, but that's beside the point So I installed Ubuntu 22.10 on my laptop and that's what we're gonna be taking a look at today So the first thing that I should say is that the b-roll that you're about to see was recorded on a laptop That does not have a 1080p screen So there's likely to be a border around it when I edit it. So just I apologize for that I'm working on rectifying that situation, but they'll be for future reviews. So just I apologize for that So let's go ahead and jump in first I'm gonna talk about new features and then I will talk about the Experience I had with it over the week or so a little over a week that I used it So let's go ahead and jump in. So the first new feature that I was actually really excited to see is a quick settings panel now this is something that drops down in the place of the previous drop-down menu up in the upper right hand corner and What makes it awesome is that it's really Interactable there's a lot of stuff here that you can control right from this panel It means that there's no more having to go spelunking into the settings panel and actually In order to do things like change the power settings change the Bluetooth settings change the Network settings things like that a lot of stuff can be done right here Same thing with the dark mode dark mode can be toggled right here with a click of a button and it is Amazing, especially when it's combined with genomes Options of changing the wallpaper based on what mode you're in so you'll you can have a light and a dark wallpaper That's really cool. So the quick settings panel is a fantastic piece of work, and I really liked it I've also seen some Extensions come out in the last few days since the boom to 22.10 was released and sense canum 43 was released That allow you to add things to the quick settings panel things like the now playing and music controls We'll show up there too with a certain extension and I've seen a couple other extensions to that expand the capabilities of The quick settings panel. So that makes me even more excited for this particular new feature So speaking of settings the settings panel in a boon to 22.10 has been upgraded to the GTK for lib adwait Version of the GNOME control center This is something that they missed out on in the last version of a boon to and basically what you're getting here is a more cohesive experience with the rest of the applications in GNOME and a boon to so you're going to get a responsive design which means that you can shrink it down and look good on phones if you're going to use it on a smaller screen and You're going to have the ability to use tools like gradients to theme it and stuff like that So there's not a lot there in terms of actual user Features that are you know things that people will care about but it does fit in better now with the rest of the design of the operating system When you go diving into the settings panel, there are a few new things So there's a new a boon to desktop settings panel basically where it will allow you to Control and tweak certain parts of the boon to desktop things like the desktop icons How the dock behaves and stuff like that there all that stuff used to be in the appearance settings now It's been split off into the boon to desktop settings There's also some more settings and options for managing applications so you can actually get access to the store page of the application that you're searching for and Get more information on the applications that you have installed which is really nice The boon to doc has also gained some new functionality So if you have multiple instances of an application open You can click on that icon in the doc and it will show you an exploded view of all of the open Versions of that application so that you can choose between them. That is something that is really nice I'm not sure What happens now if you want to minimize something so if you're used to using the Dock to minimize things That functionality seems to have gone away. I'm not actually sure I didn't actually try that out So it may have just moved to a different click event or something like that But I seem to remember and you know that you'd click on the doc and it would minimize it But maybe I'm misremembering So one of the big omissions in the last version of a boon to was the newest version of Nautilus now Nautilus is almost notoriously behind in a boon to simply because it's a big application it controls a lot of stuff inside of GNOME and That means that they're very cautious with bringing in brand new features But this time they have managed to get the GNOME 43 version of Nautilus into a boon to and It is really good. It looks fantastic. So that's good But it also has a responsive mode so that you can actually You know shrink it down and make the different sizes and it'll look really nice it'll also allow you to Easily format USB drives and SD cards You won't see this in a b-roll here because I didn't actually have one connected to the computer But you can right-click on the USB drive in the sidebar and then click formats similar to what you could do in a lot Of other file managers. So that's a nice addition. Also the list view is much improved You'll see a little bit of this in the b-roll But I don't have a lot of files on the system So you probably won't get a good sense of what it's actually improved but basically what they've done is they've increased the pre padding around some items in the list view and They've made rubber banding possible. I don't know what that actually means But there's also a new column there that has the favorite icon if the items in the list have been Favorited which is nice. You can also click that to add a favorite Then there are a few features that I didn't get any b-roll of because they're kind of things that I can't display on the screen Easily, so pipe wire is now default. So if you are not a fan of pipe wire Tough luck there I guess you supposedly could probably pull that out and put pulse audio back in but for me pipe Wider has been working really well on my main system on fedora and it worked really well in a boon too I didn't have any of the traditional pipe wire problems that I normally have so pipe wire seems to be At least somewhat ready now at least for just everyday use now. I didn't do anything special on that laptop I didn't record any videos with them, you know, external microphone or a Dac or any of that stuff. I just used the built-in speakers and whatever and it worked fine So pipe wire is now default. They've also added web piece image support So when you inevitably download something from Google search, that is not a traditional image format like PNG or JPEG And you end up with web P Not unless we'll now show you a preview of web P support. So that is good. Why it wasn't there to begin with it I mean web P has been around for quite some time I don't know why they're just building that in but it does not support it and obviously you get all of the traditional underlying Linux stuff that is improved So you get a brand new version of the kernel you get brand new versions of a lot of applications So we'll talk about that in a minute, but you'll also get a brand new version of mutter Which is the compositor that lies underneath gnom So mutter 43 gains multi monitor direct scan out support It has better support for both Wayland and x-work sessions. So Both of those should be more stable gnom 43 also has better notifications in some places I didn't really notice any difference to be honest with you. I'm just saying what the show what the change log says So Notifications are still basically what they've always been to me and the yaru icon theme has picked up some new icons as well So Let's go ahead and talk a little bit about the applications So i'm not going to spend a lot of time on the applications or the built-in application Simply because if you've ever used gnom or ubuntu before, you know what these things are Basically, they're all updated applications and in traditional ubuntu fashion. None of them are the same version So you're going to see some gnom 42 applications. You're going to see some gnom 43 applications I will say that it's not as bad as some of the releases in the past where they were like three or four versions of gnom applications behind I only saw for gnom 42 and gnom 43 applications here. So that's actually much better And as far as i'm aware All of them the major Applications that they ship are now the bad awaitus. So if you're using something like gradients you can Use that and know that it'll affect all of your applications, which is nice You're also going to get brand new versions of firefox. So you'll get firefox 105 And you'll get thunderbird 102 Libre offices version 7.4 So In terms of pre-installed applications, it's basically what you've always gotten with ubuntu. I didn't notice anything special here And they all look really nice and I will have to say this With the new ability to choose accent colors, which we got in a previous ubuntu release And the dark theme You can make ubuntu look really really nice, especially now that you're not Forced to use The dock along the side and you can actually make that into a floating panel along the bottom Without actually having to install an extra extension to do so that's really nice as well It makes it look really really good. So those are the new applications I didn't want to like I said spend too much time on it because I wanted to move into My actual usage of ubuntu over the last Week and a half or so or however long it's been. So I am not an ubuntu guy I'm a fedora guy now and I'm also not a gnome guy I'm just never have been if you've watched the channel for any amount of time You'll know that I've had many many many many many many words Uh about gnome and its Goodness, I suppose, you know, I've just not been a gnome guy ever So I was therefore quite surprised when I used ubuntu 22.10 to have such a good experience I managed to change enough of the key bindings where I could actually Switch between workspaces and the way I'm used to quit applications The way I'm used to open the terminal the way I'm used to I basically made it into a twiling window manager In terms of key bindings, which is actually a good idea seeing is how it makes it usable for me So that was probably the reason why I had such a good experience with it in terms of actual use It was Really good now There are a few things that I had problems with and I did not get any of this on camera Unfortunately in terms of the problem So the biggest one is that I had several times where certain applications would just completely crash And I don't know why it would just say Ubuntu has experienced an issue. Would you like to send a bug report? And of course a press yes But I noticed that when I was trying to use the gnome screen recorder to do a screencast because I was going to actually use The screen recorder to record the b-roll for this video. It didn't work because it just kept crashing There was a couple other times where certain applications would just for whatever reason crash. I also noticed that the Software center the or the snap store would take forever to load Even after it had already been loaded one time. So I'm used to the initial load time of a snap It's just something you're going to have to get used to but the problem is is that that was after I'd already loaded at one time And it took almost a minute for it to load now I was recording at the time So I'm not sure if they had anything to play with it But I did notice that now in terms of the whole snap thing I want to take a minute to talk about that because it's tradition and I have to I will say One good thing about it. They have made the firefox snap load faster than it was the last time I used Ubuntu so Even on the crappy think pad that I tested this on which is like a core i3 from nine years ago I mean it was a long time ago The firefox snap loaded fairly fast now. It was still slower than if it was a native package It was but it wasn't like 45 seconds slow So it loaded much faster than it used to so that was a good thing I also noticed that pretty much across the board that snaps have loaded faster this time than ever before. So Finally Finally decided that they're going to put some effort into making snaps load a little bit faster So good on them. Thank you canonical. The bad news is that that stupid snap application folder is still in your home directory and That ruins any goodwill I had towards them making snaps faster It makes snaps completely unusual for me because I do not want you to ever mess with my home directory at least In full view of me like if you got to do it make it a hidden file I don't like it.  So I just don't have to see it You know, I know it's still there But at least it would be out of sight out of mind But no that damn snap directory is still there And it just Why can't we fix this? There is a bug report On for snapd to get rid of that and it's been there since snap was created It still has not been fixed I'm at the point now where I'm going to learn how to code just so I can you know Fix that problem because it's draw it drives me nuts and makes snaps completely unusable for me And I know it's a stupid thing. Like I know it doesn't matter in the gram scheme of things It really doesn't impact the performance of snaps and whatever, you know, whatsoever But I can't stand it. It drives me bonkers. Like it just Drives me nuts. So yeah, that was not a good experience honestly just Use flat packs. I mean, maybe I'm just biased because I like flat packs so much better But just flat packs are better. They should use flat packs. Anyways, that's not that's really neither here nor there so My experience with this version of Ubuntu specifically was really good, but really what I took away from it was That GNOME continues to get better And the Ubuntu version of GNOME is even more ahead of vanilla GNOME So I've used vanilla GNOME fairly recently And while they have done a much better job of Doing certain things that make it more usable. So they've added a dark mode, you know, and they've Made the UI cleaner and stuff like that Ubuntu has taken what GNOME offers and adds Certain pieces to it like accent colors and the ability to Move the dock around and have dash to dock already installed and they have added extensions for like desktop icons And things that go up the icons that go in the task tray or whatever You know, they've added these extensions that you kind of need in order to make your desktop functional so basically what It has happened Is that they've taken GNOME And solved a lot of the problems that GNOME has always had Specifically when it comes to things like customization that ability to choose an accent color is just Chef's kiss. It's so good. And it almost completely Negates the reason for you to ever want to theme your your desktop Just choose an accent color and it just makes everything look really good Especially in dark mode where that like a purple and the red kind of just really pop I'd have no reason to install a theme at all Like I use this for a week and a half never install GNOME tweaks And that is just unheard of when it comes to me and GNOME Like that's always the first thing that I do this time. I didn't install it at all. So Yeah, I had a pretty good experience and I'm kind of shocked now Before the people who dislike GNOME as much as I always have get out the torches and pitch pitch forks You know, I'm not still I'm still not a GNOME guy like the the workflow Is just not for me. I'm a tiling window manager guy. So I don't really Think that even as good as GNOME on Ubuntu has gotten It would ever sway me away from my tiling window managers Now there is one thing that I find a little annoying and I just kind of thought about this is that when you tile application side by side in ubuntu It does a really good job Of doing so so you can put two Windows side by side and if you move them back and forth, they'll actually move both of them So if you drag in the middle, it'll drag both of them. So it'll resize both That's really good The problem is is that they've no longer have the quarter tiling like they used to maybe that hasn't been there for a while But I just and I just noticed it But if you drag up into the corners of the desktop You can no longer tile in a quarter of a screen like you cannot basically every other desktop environment And that means that if you want to tile things you either have to install an extension Or you have to do it kind of manually and that's that's not a great experience You'll probably see that in some of the b-roll if I get that part in here But it was just not that's not a great thing And it's weird because when I first saw that ability to basically Drag in one place and have both both windows resize. I was like, hey, that's really good, right? And then I tried to tile in a in a corner with for the quarter tiling and it just it doesn't work So that kind of ruined it for me a little bit. So that was one extra thing that I kind of noticed So overall if you are an Ubuntu user And you are one of those people who don't use the LTS So you're moving from the interim release to interim release This is a good upgrade for you if you are not an Ubuntu user But you're looking to just your hop This is also something good for you to try because I actually really enjoyed it outside of those few bugs and the Randomness that is the snap directory in my home directory. Just you know, whatever It was a really good experience and I'm happy that I gave it as much time as I did So yeah, that is Ubuntu 22.10. If you have thoughts on this, you can leave those in the comment section below I'd love to hear from you. You can follow me on mastodon or honestly those links will be in the video description You can support me on patreon at patreon.com slash the linux cast just like all these fine people Thanks to everybody who does support me on patreon and youtube you guys are all Absolutely amazing without you the challenges would not be anywhere where it is right now. So thank you so very very much Thanks everybody for watching. I'll see you next time


Where food production is monopolized by the government, it can be hard for the people to imagine how it could ever be any other way. They fear they may starve without government to plan and direct food production. They cannot imagine how a free market in food production could possibly work, let alone how much better off they would be with that system. They are too accustomed to having food provided for them by the government. We are accustomed to a society where the arbitration and law industry, the court system, is monopolized by the government. We fear chaos and disorder without government to plan and direct law. We find it hard to imagine how a free market in law could possibly work. In this video I will outline how law and security could be provided by competing voluntary institutions. This is Alice. Alice lives in a free society where security and law are provided not by a government but by competing firms. Like most people Alice demands to feel secure in her person and property. She does not want anyone to aggress against her. Alice also demands that if someone does commit aggression against her, she will have the means to bring the aggressor to justice and receive compensation for her losses. A number of competing firms exist to try and satisfy these consumer demands. The firm Alice subscribes to, Dawn Defense, has a good reputation for preventing crime and for obtaining justice when crimes do take place. Alice pays her security bill monthly the same way she pays for her electricity and telephone services. She is on a standard package which suits her budget and her lifestyle choices. She has chosen an insurance option so that if someone steals from her she is guaranteed quick compensation. One evening while walking home Alice becomes a victim of aggression when she is mugged at gunpoint. At the earliest opportunity Alice calls the emergency service number and is put through to Dawn Defense Emergency Response Centre. They quickly dispatch agents to her location. Unfortunately by the time their agents arrive on the scene the mugger is long gone. The agents examine the crime scene and gather witness statements and any evidence that might help them identify and locate the mugger. As specified in their contract Dawn Defense pays Alice compensation for her losses. Enough to cover the possessions taken from her and a good deal more for her time, trouble and distress. Alice's part in this story is now over. Dawn Defense however will want to bring the mugger to justice. They will want to recover their costs and they have promised their customers that muggers will not get off lightly. After doing some detective work Dawn Defense identifies with reasonable confidence Bill as the aggressor. They locate him and issue him with a written demand that he pays them $10,000 as a punishment for the crime he committed against Alice. Bill has two choices. He could admit his guilt and pay up so that Dawn Defense leaves him alone or he could refuse to pay. Bill refuses to pay claiming he is innocent. Dawn Defense will not want to have a reputation for harassing or using force against innocent people so it will listen to his case. After hearing his case if they remain convinced of his guilt they will insist on payment threatening to use force against him if necessary. Bill now faces the same two choices. If he still refuses to pay Dawn Defense will send armed men round to his house to enforce their punishment. What if Bill has his own security? After receiving the first letter from Dawn Defense Bill calls Tanner Justice the security agency he subscribes to. He tells them he is completely innocent and that he is being unjustly threatened with force by Dawn Defense. Tanner Justice calls Dawn Defense immediately to discuss the accusation of mugging. They insist on seeing some evidence. They conduct their own investigation. After their investigation they might agree with Dawn Defense that Bill is guilty. In this case they order Bill to accept his punishment and will not protect him from any force that Dawn Defense uses against him. Or they might reach the opposite conclusion that Bill is innocent. In this case they'll stand by their client and consider the threats made by Dawn Defense to be aggressive. The two firms just cannot agree about what events took place. So what happens now? Do they fight it out? Such a war would be costly for both sides and they would suffer reputational damage. Security firms that resort to war soon find themselves bankrupt as consumers switch to their cheaper and more peaceful competitors. Dawn Defense and Tanner Justice have every incentive to find some peaceful way to resolve the conflict. Since they cannot reach agreement about what happened the two firms agree to pay for an independent arbitrator to look at the case and agree to be bound by that arbitrator's decision. Since both firms are large and well established they have a prior agreement about which firm to go to in such cases. Their chosen arbitrator, Benson Enterprises, is a firm that specializes in resolving such disagreements between security firms. Benson's examined the evidence presented by the two sides and listened to their arguments. After careful consideration they conclude that Bill is guilty of mugging Alice. As agreed both sides accept the decision. Tanner Justice stand down from defending Bill.  Benson Enterprises is a highly respected firm and no other security firm will agree to defend him now against the force threatened by Dawn Defense. Unless new evidence emerges or the reputation of Benson's is brought into question. If Bill cannot afford the $10,000 punishment Dawn Defense will accept payment over a longer term. They may insist on taking a portion of his wages until his debt plus interest is paid and they may contract with his employer to ensure they are paid on time. If Bill is unemployed they may insist on taking a more active role in his life. They may force him to work at a place of their choosing. If Bill is dangerous or cannot be trusted to make the payments they may restrict his movements to a certain region or as a last resort to a certain building. A secure workhouse where criminals are held while they pay off their debts to their victims and serve their punishment. Bill's crime against Alice will be noted by the various competing criminal records bureaus and his identity will be made public in databases and in the media. Security agencies now consider Bill a higher risk for committing further crimes and may take steps to protect their customers from him. Bill may find it difficult to find a security firm that will accept him as a customer and if he does he may have to pay higher premiums for it. Because of his record other business owners may refuse to employ or trade with him and landowners may not permit him to enter their land. The performance of the security agencies is noted by various competing watchdog organizations that provide consumers with information about the quality of security in arbitration firms. The details of the case are made available to auditors who check that the practices of the security and law firms adhere to quality standards. We cannot know in advance how the security and arbitration firms will be structured. We cannot know how many firms will operate in a given area or how large an area a typical firm will cover. In this video the two security firms performed a number of distinct functions themselves. Free market competition is needed in order to know whether all these functions will be provided in-house or whether some would be outsourced or provided by distinct firms. All these related industries keep the firm's satisfying consumer demands for security and law true to their function of protecting individuals against aggression, serving justice and maintaining order in society. In my next video I'll consider disagreements between security firms about what punishments are to be used and disagreements about what constitutes a crime. I'll go on to consider what laws and punishments we can expect to be produced by arbitration firms operating in a free market in law.


Eurydine monophosphate is not narrowly as popular as some other naturopics on the market, but it may be one of the most important tropics for your brain health. Here is why. Hey friends, welcome back to my channel. My name is Greg and I'm a certified brain health expert creating content that will help you upgrade your brain performance. If this is interesting, then subscribe below and join our amazing community. Today we're going to talk about Eurydine monophosphate. We're going to talk about benefits, the side effects, dosages, safety, my experience, and at the end of the video, I'm going to tell you who is this supplement for. So if you're ready, let's just begin. So what exactly is Eurydine monophosphate? So by definition, it is a nucleotide base. So it is a building block of DNA and RNA. You can find it in many different foods and drinks. For example, you can find in beer and breast milk.   Anyway, when I first came across Eurydine monophosphate and I checked the literature, I wasn't really impressed because there is a huge lack of studies, especially on the healthy population. So I kind of checked it out briefly and I said, you know what, let's wait for a while before I do a more thorough research of it. However, when I checked out again, I actually found some really interesting stuff about this entropic, which makes it very, very interesting. So when it comes to benefits, most people use Eurydine monophosphate to enhance their cognitive function. Actually, one interesting study showed that supplementing Eurydine monophosphate with some other entropics can lead to better memory, better recognition, recall, attention and executive function. And that happened in just 12 weeks of supplementing Eurydine monophosphate. So yes, supplementing it can improve cognition and even learning. Another benefit that you can expect from Eurydine monophosphate are it can help people with Alzheimer's disease, it can help aid synaptic function, and it can help patients with bipolar disorder. By the way, guys, have you ever tried it? If you did, let me know in the comment section below. Now, if you look at the available research, yes, we lack studies, especially on the healthy population. Also, if you look at the survey of over 300 people who actually tried Eurydine monophosphate and many other entropics, Eurydine monophosphate ranks quite low, somewhere in the middle and sometimes even much, much lower than that. So it doesn't seem to be particularly effective. So what's the real deal with this entropic? Well, I decided to try it out. So I tried it out as an individual compound. I took 250 milligrams per day, I increased dosage to 500 milligrams per day, and I even tried one gram per day. And to be honest, I didn't experience any benefits or I couldn't notice any effects. So you may say, hmm, let's just avoid it. Well, not so fast. Because if you look at the mechanisms of work, if you check how Eurydine monophosphate actually work in the brain, you will see that this entropic is very, very special and very important. Now, first of all, it is a substrate for CDP choline. And as you know, choline is a very essentially important nutrient for brain performance because it increases acetylcholine levels. And acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter important for memory and learning. And that's how it can boost your memory and learning. But when it doesn't act as a substrate, it acts as a novel neurotransmitter, it can increase and activate neuro growth factor, it can increase dopamine output, and it can help by creating cell membranes. So yes, taking it on its own as an individual compound, especially for a short time makes no sense, because you won't get a typical entropic effect such as bare focus memory cognitive function and so on. But if you take it as a part of a more complex metropic supplement for a long time, I think it actually won the most important tropics that you should consider supplementing, especially when you combine it with the right metropics.   So let's talk about the dosage. What's the optimal dosage? According to the studies, the optimal dosage is somewhere between 500 milligrams to one gram per day. Now, you could use theoretically up to 25 grams per day, but most entropic supplements actually contain a much lower dosage, somewhere between 50 milligrams to 500 milligrams per day. And if you're going to take it for a long period, then I recommend taking a lower dosage. As I said, somewhere between 50 milligrams to about 500 milligrams at maximum per day. But it's really important to combine it with two other entropics. One is a cooling compound. Personally, I recommend city cooling, and you can learn more about it up here in this video. And the second compound that you need to combine it with is Omega-3, because all three compounds actually improve synaptic formation better than each individual compound and are therefore really important for improving your cognitive function. Now, when it comes to safety and side effects, studies show you're the amount of phosphate is a very safe compound, and I couldn't find any safety issues. So, I personally don't see any issues, but to be on the safe side, do consult your doctor before supplementing it. So, who is your amount of phosphate for? Well, in my opinion, everyone should take it, not because of some amazing short-term effects that you may expect, but because it is a building block of RNA and DNA, and as such, it is really, really structurally important for your brain performance. And yes, I absolutely recommend taking it, but do not take it as an individual compound. If you want to get the most out of it, and if you really care about your brain performance, combine it with the most potent and effective entropics on the market. Which are those? Well, check out my next video up here and learn all about them. Thank you guys for watching this video, and I hope to see you soon again. Stay well.
