We're just being talking.  So, oh my stage name was honey bun before it was jack thriller What was it?  Yeah. Yeah, and so me and my brother would be on the chat line I got a brother that we just a year apart.  You know what I'm saying? And so uh one day I was on the chat line and I was in this room And it was a dude.  That's my delicious That's who I'm going to be when I start showing Yeah, come from child 14 years old.

I want to do a comedy. Are you into a company?    I was stripping at pent-ups I would strip down to my chaps and whatnot and down to the died So it just the honey bun thing made too much sense.

I was doing too much. I was in my way No, but I was trying to find myself you figured it out. Yeah, I value Yeah, it was the shock value thing.

We made some niggas went out that way to boo me at the comedy club You know what I'm saying? So it was just all a bit clusterfuck at the same time And so that's how that happened.  I would say there was a method to my madness and then I just I I would just trying to you just push the push the envelope and and figure out Exactly what my place inside the game was and what now and I wasn't I wasn't scared to be what I wanted to be And but I always knew it was going to be some shit that we're going to help push the culture for And that was going to change the game.  Who me? You uh figure typically Figuratively, oh, that was the attitude. Yeah I didn't know. Hey on color.  Not at all Even a little bit Not at all And if you had a problem with me we can do we can we can do it as any kind of way you wanted to do it But I didn't want to fight you but if you wanted to fight me we could do it We could do it we could do it, but I don't want to do it But I will but I will If that's what you like we've seen a lot of legendary fights on those comedy nights.

You know, everything opening up now as soon as they legalize cannabis and It uh in uh, georgia.  They about to legalize it. Yeah 100% in the meantime We're just smoking medical marijuana.   That's what I meant. But looking looking at it in retrospect This is what you actually did though.  And that's the whole point of it You get what I'm saying 100% doing show niggas Doing stand-up is the intro to get that's the vehicle that can get you all the other shit You know what I'm saying, right?  Come on, man. You got to get your prompters. What you want?   Let's not forget.  I do top. I make sure niggas get it I'm in the top five of a lot of niggas. Uh podcast.  No, man.   They didn't want that we dropped some You know Medium-length content.  I don't I don't know why they love us this much We you know, it's just one of those things like you just got to keep on just throwing things out and see what's Stick. Yeah, sometimes we overthink this shit, right? You know and then instead of just doing the work keep on going keep on going and when it's god When god say it's time to take it to another level And take it to another level jazz what it is on some real niggas shit though.  Yeah 100% man patrice was a really really amazing guy and he was a big fan of mine too.  I didn't all that was a shock to me. Yeah, and then when we finally did do the interview at a Carolina's on Broadway um It was just so It was very spiritual and it was very introspective And it was it was real deep and I appreciate even more now Do you have any any interviews or content that you that you got in the vault that you look back on and be like I ain't even gonna drop it.  Throw me one. So disrespectful. Remember so disrespectful Let's change it. Let's make it so respectful. So respectful.    Yeah, I was like, don't even it just be your Jokes infused into your how you interview. It's your sense of humor.  That was malicious That's that's why I was trying to go right there.   We were entertaining and That's as far as it goes After a while people start to understand that's what I would do when you see me on the red carpet Yeah, I'm a red carpet king. Right.  Yeah, you know, I just follow my heart the whole time.  Do you think about me the relationship show?  You didn't have enough Well, you don't have to keep Slugging yourself out.

I did bring you some actually Carlos I just didn't bring it out right now. I appreciate you first.  Yeah 100% because I didn't want you To go through what I went through at the video shoot when niggas would give me complimentary. Yeah, you see what I'm going with this But one thing about me is I don't steal nothing. Yeah, I didn't steal it. I took that. I don't take either.  No, it's just that you know some old Y'all some real old you in the room for the motherfuckers who went to college and graduated. Oh Oh I'm I apologize. I don't agree with all that. No, no.

About if you the only million-an-side you'll click then you you you not rich Yeah, you supposed to put everybody on so if you fall off then niggas can help you out And when I understand why then we don't understand it as a pink every nigga in your clique is rich Your clique is rugged. Come on. Nobody falls because we will all be each other's crush come on there Yep, or something like To that effect. Hey, uh, Mike Tyson's told his story, right?

Over the last year, I've received several requests to take a look at Sway Winner Manager or SwayWM. And I've always been a little resistant to it because Waylon doesn't like me all that much. And every time I try it, it just kind of goes wrong. So I've been procrastinating on this video for a long time. But I'm finally going to do it today. We're going to take a look at Sway Winner Manager. We're going to install it. We're going to configure it. And we're going to rice it. We're at least going to do the first two things. We're going to try to rice it. We'll see how that goes. I've never actually done any ricing in Sway Winner Manager. So we'll see how that goes. I'm a complete noob at it. So just keep that in mind as we go along. Because I'm sure there are going to be points here where you're looking at this video.  But I'm sure that's quite common for those of you who watch most of my videos. I mean, it happens often. So anyways, let's go ahead and jump in. Okay, so here we are in MX Linux. So what distro you do this on pretty much doesn't matter. Sway seems to be in most repositories. And I chose MX because, A, I really like MX Linux, but also because I wanted to test out and see how much of the associated programs are actually in the Debian repositories. And it turns out there's quite a bit of what you need already in the repositories. You don't even have to build it yourself. So it's actually really good. So what we're going to do is open up a terminal here, and we'll zoom in. And then we can go ahead and make this full screen. Okay, so in order to install sway on a Debian based distro, you do sudo apt install sway. Now, if you aren't you're on arch, you'd go sudo pacman dash capitalist sway. If you want the get version or the development version, you'd use the AUR version. I think that's probably dash get. And I believe sway is also in the Fedora repositories and probably opens to as well. So if you want to install a sway, it's very easy. So we're just going to enter here, enter our password and let it install. Now, theoretically, we could log out now and log back into sway. It would work. The problem is, there's a few things that are missing and a few things that are wrong with configuration files. So what we need to do is first copy the config, the default configuration file from where resides by default to our configuration, our config file. So in order to do that, we need to CP slash Etsy sway and then config. Actually, before we do that, we need to go through and make directory.config sway. And then we need to do this one here. And do this till the slash.config. If I can spell sway and enter. Okay, now if we see the into.config and sway and do an LS here, we can see we now have a configuration file. And if we've been into that configuration file, this is what it looks like. Now, if you've used I three before, you'll notice that a lot of this stuff looks very, very similar. It's not precisely the same, but it does look familiar. Now, if you do have an I three configuration file, it will work. It's not precisely the same. Like there are some things that you're going to have to change, but it will load. And for the most part, you can just use all your key bindings and stuff from I three right here in sway. Now, when I say there are some things that you'll need to change. For example, by default, whether you use this default config or your I three config D menu does not work with Wayland. As far as I can tell, there's no way to get D menu to work with Wayland. So you have to install something else. So what I've done is pseudo apt install a program called Wolfie W O F I. And we'll just let that install. Now, what Wolfie is is basically a Wayland version of Rofi. It's not exactly as good as Rofi. I don't feel, but it will work. There are several other alternatives that you can use. Some things called B menu B E M E N U is an option. There's one called G menu that runs with Wayland. So there's a couple options you can use for your launcher because like I said, D menu just doesn't work. Now, why in the default configuration file, they have D menu here? I don't know. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. It's possible that D menu does work with Wayland and there's a special work around that you have to do. But for me, even installing D menu, just regular installing D menu couldn't get this work. Now, I will admit that I didn't go through and build D menu from source like I usually do. I just installed it from the Debian repositories, but it didn't work. So I instead use Rofi or Wolfi, I should say. So what I'm going to do is actually change this. So I'm going to change to the end of the line here. And I'm going to go to Wolfi dash dash show equals D run if I can spell. Okay, so we've got that done. I also need to change the default terminal here because I don't know what the foot terminal is. I kind of want to try it because because I've never heard of it. Sounds cool, just from the name. But I'm going to change this to a kitty, which I actually also have to install. So I zoom in here and do pseudo apt install kitty. That way I have a default terminal emulator. You could use any terminal you wanted here. If you wanted to use, I had console, I could have used console, but I'm just going to go ahead and use kitty. I would use a Lackardy if Lackardy was in the Debian repositories, but it is not for dumb reasons. But anyways, that way we have an emulator that we can use. Okay, what I also want to do here is at the beginning of this line here, I want to comment this out. And the reason why is because by default, at least the way I've installed this thing, this wallpaper here does not exist. So when you actually go into sway, you end up getting an error because that file doesn't exist. So I'm just going to comment it out. I'll show you how to set a wallpaper here in a few minutes. So let's go ahead and get out of insert mode. And that's the last thing we really have to change. And I'll go through the configuration file a little bit more in depth here in a minute. But I just wanted to get us out of plasma and into sway. So I'm going to go ahead and rank with this. And we can go ahead and get out of plasma here. We'll log out and we'll wait for MX to log out. This is by far the worst part about MX is the log out here. It seems to get hung up on the conky, but killing the conky. I'm not sure why it does that. It's really weird. Anyways, we'll go ahead and down here at the bottom switch to sway Wayland and hit log in. Now here we go. We're in sway. Now, if you notice this looks very similar to I3 and it's meant to it's literally a fork of I3. So if you've used I3 before, a lot of the same stuff is the same. So super enter gets us a terminal super like say we do super V and do super enter again. We get a terminal at the bottom. We do super H and then super enter. That should have worked super H and then super enter. That's still why they didn't work. Huh. I might have got that key binding wrong. That's usually the key binding. No super H gets us back into horizontal mode. And we super shift Q closes these terminals. So we'll actually go find that. Well, so we'll zoom in here. We'll go to CD.config sway and then into the config file. All right. So let's go ahead and see what I got wrong there because it should have worked. We'll go down here to split mod B and mod V. So they changed it from mod H to mod B for some reason. So if now if we do mod B and then do enter and then mod V and then enter and mod B and enter, it does that thing. Why I spawned there instead of over here. I'm not actually sure, but you get the point. That default key binding threw me off, but it's basically the I3 stuff just with a little bit different of a key binding. So like I was saying, for the most part, everything you've experienced in I3 will work in sway. Specifically the stuff with the key binding. So you set variables the same way. You set key bindings the same way. Bind some than the key binding and then the action, just like you normally would. You also go through as far as I can tell, you can go through and start programs the same way as well. So if we went all the way out here to the bottom and started a thing called we did something like exec underscore always. And then we're going to be doing this here in a big in a minute when we actually will go to a different workspace. Let me show you how to set a wallpaper. So we'll open up another terminal and do pseudo apt install sway BG. It might already be installed. Sometimes sway installs it. Sometimes it doesn't. But if you need to, you can go through and run it this way and it has already been installed. So what we want to do here is do sway BG dash I. And then we need a wallpaper. So here's where Wayland is going to mess up with us mess with us for the first time because let's go here to another workspace and open up. This is Wolfie. It basically looks like Roe Fee. If we just type in Firefox and enter absolutely nothing happens like nothing happens. And if we get out of this and open up a terminal and zoom in here so you can see Firefox and start Firefox and thermo was unable to in its server. And that's because by default Firefox does not work with Wayland. I had no clue this was even a thing. Like I got into sway this morning and decided I was going to go find a wallpaper on Wolhaven and couldn't open Firefox. I was like what WTF bro. And you're like so I spent like a half an hour Googling it Googling it Googling it. And it turns out that you have to set a environment variable in order to get Firefox working on Wayland. And I'm going to go ahead and show you how to do that. Even though this has very little to do with sway and mostly just to do with Wayland. I'm not exactly sure why it needs to be like this.  Okay. And then we're going to them them into that dot p m environment. And we're going to type in this m o z underscore enable underscore Wayland. And then default equals one. Okay. And we're going to rank with this. Now you can also put this in Etsy environment. Actually, I think it's CD up a level and them into environment. There we go. You could also put that here. The first way worked for me the first time I whether or not it'll work for me this time. I don't know. We're going to find out here a second. But anyways, what I need to do now is get out of this. I'm going to actually quit this without saving because I'm not doing anything with it yet. I'm going to pseudo reboot. I'm going to reboot the VM here. And the reason I'm doing that is because I want that environment variable to take effect. I don't think I actually need to reboot, but I'm just going to do it just to be safe. Okay, we're back. And now if we do super D and go into Firefox, it should load hopefully. And it does. As you can see, Rofi didn't or Wolfie did not actually go away. Why didn't go away? I'm not sure. That has to be a bug. Okay, but anyways, we're looking for a wallpaper. We'll look for an MX Linux wallpaper and images. And let's see. It doesn't really matter which one of these we use. We just want to use one. That's actually kind of cool. That works. So this view image as, okay, and then save image. And we want to save that into pictures and save. Now we can quit Firefox, close tabs, open up a terminal. Now we can set it to set a wallpaper. So if we CD into our pictures folder and do an OS, we notice we have that wallpaper. We just download this. We do sweet sway BG dash I and then 64 like that. Okay. Now as you can see, the wallpaper did get changed, but it's actually here running. And that's not a great thing. And actually shit, we can fix that kind of by doing the same thing and putting ampersand at the end. And that would kind of work. It will keep running even if we close the terminal. I actually won't keep running it. Keep running. It did last time. I don't know why it didn't this time. It doesn't matter because that's not a great way to set a wallpaper anyway. So what we're going to do is CD into .config and then sway and then the configuration file. I'm missing my aliases here. And then at the end, we're going to see if this works. This is the way you do it in i3. So exec underscore always sway BG dash dash I and then till the slash pictures. And then we need the name of that CD pictures and OS and then we'll copy this. Okay. And that should work. And we write that now. Let's see what the key binding for restarting sway is. There should be a restart sway key binding here somewhere. Okay. So mod shift C, mod shift C. Now, if we go to here and we have a wallpaper, so it works exactly like it does in i3, which I assumed it did. Okay. So we've set the wallpaper. And now we can go through and change some of these key bindings. So, for example, I want to change the kill command to just super queue. Okay. Got that done. And that works. So mod shift C. Now, if I do super, super queue that quits it. Okay. Good. Now. Okay. So that's good enough. Now, I love how they've gone through and set these variables for HJK and L to left down up and right. That way, when you go through down here and see the actual key binding, they just use those variables. So that is cool. All right. I think that's the only key binding that I actually need to change for me personally. All these rest of these are fine. Okay. So let's go ahead and talk about some of the differences. I can't show you all the differences that are here in practice simply because most of them have to do with multiple monitors and stuff. So, for example, so for example, there's this here, if you have multiple monitors, you'd want to uncomment this and you want to uncomment here and do something like output display port one or whatever your monitors called and then give it the resolution and the position. So this is where sway and whaling do things a little differently. And it's really confusing if you don't know what you're doing because if you go into a X org based desktop environment or window manager and you do say X Rander, just type in X Rander in your terminal, it's going to list out all your monitors and it's going to give you the names of the monitors. For me, it's something like this. It looks kind of like this. I'm not sure what the actual names are. I never remember. But the point is you're going to get names in X Rander and those are the names you're going to be using to set the resolution and all that stuff. If you do the same thing here. So if we go here and do something like this sway MSG MSG Matt and then dash T and then get underscore underscore outputs and do this. This is also going to give you the name of your monitors. The problem comes is that you'll find that the monitor names are different. At least they were for me. Like they're completely different and it's not showing here in the virtual machine. But when I installed this on hardware, the names were completely different. So it really messed with my brain for a little while because I I didn't go through and run this first. I went right here and use the same names that X Rander gave me and did this thing, right? You know, I went through and did this resolution. If I could spell 1920 by 1080 and position night zero 1920 and I did that and it did not work right because the names were different. Now that's one problem. The other issue is that you have to get these positions right. You're going to have to toy with these. There is documentation on how to do that and I will link to that in the video description, but it's not so hard if all of your monitors are exact same resolution. But if they're not, it could get messy. So anyways, that's how you go through and set up the multiple monitors and how you tell Sway where those monitors are. So you have monitor one, monitor two or whatever you have. That's how you go through and do that. And it's totally different from how I three does this because I three doesn't handle this monitor stuff at all. That's always going to be an X org job, right? That's how it works. When you need to set the position of your monitors, the resolution of your monitors, you deal with X org, whether that's through a GUI or through X Rander or a Rander, however you do it. I three has nothing to do with it, but Sway manages that is that here like this. Now, if you've ever used Herbst WM, you'll see that this is very familiar to you because this is exactly how Herbst love does it. So or similar to at least. So if you've used that before, you'll at least know what's going on here. For me, I'd only briefly taken a look at Herbst love and hadn't really ever messed around with it with multiple monitors. So it didn't really met, you know, I never experienced this before. And this was very confusing for me to first found, especially the names, right? So always run always run this output here. If you have multiple monitors and get those names so that you know they're right. Okay. So that's how you deal with multiple monitors. And we'll go back through at the beginning here and comment those back out because I don't need to mess around with it because I'm in a virtual machine. So I don't I'm not you mess around with multiple window managers. The other thing that's different is you'll also notice that the configuration file also handles things like how your monitors go to sleep. It also handles how your input is work with your touchpads and your mouse and stuff like that. It's all done from this configuration file. It's so super weird. Like I'm assuming it's because Waylon doesn't have the stuff built out yet. Like it's not something that works or they haven't figured out GUIs or other ways of managing the stuff that Sway had or at least the beginning Sway had to go through and do this stuff, you know, for themselves. And maybe they haven't taken it out yet or maybe that stuff still doesn't exist in Waylon. I'm not sure, but all that stuff is done right here in the configuration file. The last thing that's different is the bar. Now the bar is where I have the least experience and basically this is the first time I'm looking at it. So the bar is not your typical I three status bar or I three bar or I three blocks. It's none of those things. It's basically a while loop as far as I can tell that's exactly how they do their bar here. So we can actually see the status command while date is this do sleep one done. It's a while loop. So if we go into another terminal here and do man Sway, if I can spell and we go down here at the bottom, we can actually see that we can find another man page. So Sway bar. So what we're going to want to do is to quit man Sway dash bar and we have another man page here. So this is not as great. So like I have a lot of problems with the standard stock I three bar. I never use it. It's pedestrian at best. You can do a ton of stuff with it. Like poly bar is just superior in almost every way in my opinion. However, compared to this I three bar and I three status 93 box are just so much better because you don't have to deal with a ton of complicated stuff. And a lot of people don't know how to use a while loop. Like a lot of people don't know how to use it.  Now, most of those people aren't going to go through and try Sway. So it's not a big deal, but it's just something to keep in mind. So to do a lot of the stuff here, you're going to have to go through and look at how Sway bar is meant to be, you know, used. And the problem here is that there's no examples. Okay. This is a lot of times with man pages, the really good man pages, they'll give you examples of how things are worked or how things work. And that's not the case here. If we go back to the top, there's no real good example here of how things are supposed to be structured. Like it doesn't say anything really about that while loop at all. Are you supposed to put these options inside the while loop? Are you supposed to execute things like sway bar dash these options? Where do you put these options? It even at the top here, like usually if we do like a if we in a normal man page when you're looking at a command. So if we go to another work terminal here and zoom in and do man LS, we get a way of using this. So this is how you the command and the option and the file, right? That's how you do it in sway. The description is just, you know, a description. It doesn't actually say how you're supposed to execute it. And for them, I mean, for the most part, I found that the sway documentation is actually really good, especially the stuff on their GitHub and their Wiki. It's actually really good.  And they have a great guide on migrating from I three to sway. The documentation there is good. But when it comes to the bar, the bar documentation is subpar. It's not great. And the thing is, I have no clue what to do about it. Right. I don't, there's not a lot here. Like I could go, I've gone through and I've read most of the stuff. But without an example, like, I'm very much a see what needs to happen in order to follow the instructions because it is just the way I learn. And there's no examples here. And it's kind of infuriating. So we're not going to be messing with the bar at all today. Now, so we've talked a little bit now. About sway. What I want to do now is and we, you know, we've configured some of the key key bindings and I've shown you the stuff that this is the same on I three and the same that some of the things that are different than I three. And we said wallpaper. Let's go ahead and do a little bit of racing outside of the bar, at least in terms of modules for the bar, we might be able to change some of the colors. So let's go ahead and do that. So let's quit this and go back here. And let's just go to here, go to here and open up a Firefox. And also know why Wolfie doesn't go away. Maybe it may be Wolfie is not the best solution. I'd probably have to go through an experiment with some of the other options for menus. But obviously it has some bugs. So let's go ahead and what color scheme should we use? Let's go ahead and just do grab box. I know that grab box has all the color codes right here. So let's go ahead and move this to one and scroll down here. All right. And then the background here. Change this to 282828.  So we'll change this to FBF1C7. Oops, that was the wrong. Seven. Now if we restart, yeah, that worked. Okay. And then let's see. So that changes that. Now I always forget what the way to disable the title bar in I3 is. It's not what you think it is. So disable I3 title bar. Because you have to set something to zero. This is the one you do it. This right here. Okay. We'll copy this and go up here to the top and go down here. Where are the rules? I guess it doesn't really matter. We'll just put it here for now. Okay. And then we'll write this. We may have to change it to zero. And just get rid of that. And they're still there. So change this to zero. And they're actually still there. So that usually works. That's usually what works for me to get rid of the title bars. But that didn't work this time. This is a way to complete disabled. Come on, Reddit. Yeah, that's exactly what we have. But it didn't work. I wonder if that has something to do with Wayland. All right. It doesn't matter. We'll go to i3waylander.org because there's something here we need. So we'll go to docs and use your guide and then search for colors. If I can spell colors right. Here we go. This is what we need. I'm going to copy this. There we go. Now, what we can see is if this actually goes through and works. Because this is the, obviously we're getting for this from i3. So the border for focused should be why did I close Firefox earlier? Because I had my grove box there. Can I close it?  Somebody told me that this is not pronounced grove box. It's called grove box. I'm just going to call it grove box because that's the way I've always pronounced it. All right. Here we go. Now, let's see. The border should be like, let's just make it. I know it doesn't really matter. It should be 4934. 4934. Okay. And then, the key buttons are messing me up. I didn't quit at that time. I just moved to another workspace. All right. Let's see what that did. That changed the border color around the title bar. Not around the whole window. Around the bar. So I think we're going to need to go through and do it here as well. So FB 4934. 4934. Okay. And background. B8BB26. Well, it looks really... We did get the... I don't think green is going to work. Change this to something different. Let's change it to that blue 83A. A598. Yeah, it's a little bit better. I wish I could get rid of the title bars completely. I don't know why the normal trick isn't working. There almost has to be something to do with Wayland. Why that would be different, though. I don't know. Let's see. I'm just curious. Oh, you want to... It is Wayland. Because look, normally to get to class, you do something like XPROP, right? But XPROP doesn't work in Wayland because that's an XOR application. So if that's different, it's almost certain that the classes are deemed different, too. A few moments later. Okay. Well, obviously there's no way to get rid of those title bars. Anyways, so there's not much writing that we did here, but we did something. At least to give you an idea of how it would go about the process. And I think my next task, and I'm going to do this after I'm done with this video, is go through and try to figure out how those modules would work if I wanted to add things to the bar. And obviously you'd change the colors for the bar here at the bottom. You do it here in the inactive workspace. Although why it would be inactive workspace is not the active workspace. I'm not exactly sure. Again, you'd have to read the man page and hope that it would give you some ideas. Okay, so that is Sway Winner Manager. And I know this video was like super long, but unedited runtime of this video is almost hours. So I'm hoping that in editing, I can get some of this stuff out. I'm sure I can. So that's not quite so obnoxiously long, but I wanted to go through and take a good gander throughout Sway Winner Manager and get a good first impression of it. So I've now used it for a few hours. I used it for a little while in 1PM and then I did this hour long thing with you guys. And I have some initial thoughts. If you need to use Wayland, this is a good option. I'm glad exists. I can't say and I can't speak to whether or not this would be a stable thing to do because I'm not sure and I'm not convinced that Wayland is ready for primetime yet because every experience I've ever had with Wayland has been a negative one, especially on hardware. So whether or not you install this and have a good time, whether or not you install this and find that there are things that just won't work, for example, removing the title bars. Doesn't seem to work in Sway the same way it does in I3. Finding class names doesn't seem to be even possible in Wayland or at least from the brief bit of research that I did doesn't seem to be possible. So there are going to be some things that just aren't going to work.  So my experience on that end also hasn't been very good. So whether or not you have a good experience with Wayland is probably very much going to depend on what you do with your computer because for a lot of things, Wayland just isn't there yet.  It is. Someday, Wayland is going to be the primary display server for Linux. It's just going to be that way. Ubuntu already uses it by default. Fedora uses it by default. We're going to have more and more distros sipping with Wayland as the default display server or whatever it's called. And it's just going to happen one day and Xorg is going to be relegated to the minority. It's going to be the thing that people use only when they have to. Everybody else is just going to use Wayland. I mean, the vast majority of Linux users never interact with Xorg at all. Really, I mean, like the settings of Xorg is just something that runs in the background and makes their computer run. They never think of it. Wayland will someday become that. And it's rapidly approaching. And the thing about it is, is there are not a ton of Wayland-specific or Wayland-supported window managers. They're just not. There's Sway. There's River. There's a couple other ones that are Wayland-specific, but they're very, very niche. And they're not well-developed. None of them are well-developed. There's a fork of DWM that, as far as I know, is not still developed. I might be wrong about that, but it's not popular because everybody just uses DWM. For someone who likes tiling window managers, that's a little scary because I want to keep using window managers. And if, at some point, Xorg becomes just vastly unsupported and insecure and all this stuff even more than it is now, what's going to happen to our beloved window managers? So it's a good thing that things like Sway exist because hopefully it will kickstart other tiling window managers to get started on supporting Wayland. I know Qtile is very rapidly getting there. They might have actually already have an implementation of it. I know Xmonad is working on an implementation of a Wayland version for them. So hopefully we start seeing the guys behind their Succas software start working on Wayland as well. Somehow I doubt it. We haven't had an update to DWM since 2018 or 2019, something like that. It's been quite a while since 6.2 was released. It might have even been longer than that. So whether or not DWM ever gets updated for Wayland or a fork of it that is actually popular happens. I don't know. So I'm glad the Sway exists. Would I use it? No. Mostly because the video recording stuff that I need doesn't work well in Wayland. So I hope you enjoyed this video.

The Caritas Nigeria has condemned the countless killings of Catholic priests, nuns, and seminarians, as well as defenseless Christians and citizens, particularly the recent gruesome killing of Reverend Father Achi of St. Peter's Catholic Church in Niger State. The association, through its directorate, department of church and society, Reverend Father Uche Chuku of Bodoe, China, blamed the inactions of the federal government as possible for the daily killings of Nigerians. He also called for the restoration of the rule of law by the federal government as a solution to the horrendous situation. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

Comet Halley is making its regular 76-year pilgrimage around our sun, as it has been doing for countless centuries. The comet is the target of study for five exploratory spacecraft from Europe, Japan, and the Soviet Union, each whizzing by the giant snowball of ice, gas, and dust from different vantage points.  JOTO hopes to photograph the comet's nucleus. Two other highly-instrumented Soviet spacecraft, Vega-1 and Vega-2, are scheduled to fly by the comet at a distance of 6,000 miles, hoping also to obtain images of the comet's nucleus. Lastly, two Japanese spacecraft studying Halley are Planet A, which approaches the sunward side of Halley at a distance of 120,000 miles, and Sakigaki, which will pass about 4 million miles from the comet. A list of other American spacecraft slated for study of the comet includes Astro-1 and the Spartan Halley platform. Both will be maintained by the Space Shuttle, the Solar Maximum Mission Satellite, Pioneer Venus, and the International Cometary Explorer. In order to get the best use out of all the research being done on the comet, the International Halley Watch was organized. Thousands of scientists and amateur and professional astronomers from 47 different countries have joined forces. The Halley Encounter is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to study one of the most primitive objects in our solar system. A program dedicated to visiting some of the planets in our solar system with two unmanned probes had a history of success ever since its beginning. In 1977, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were both launched on their way to Jupiter and Saturn. Now, having logged nearly 2 billion miles in space since 1977, Voyager 2 will point its sensors and TV cameras at a planet we have never seen up close, Uranus. Voyager project scientist Dr. Edward Stone, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. There are several unique things about Uranus. First of all, it's the most remote planet that we will have visited in the solar system. It formed in a much colder region of the solar nebula and therefore is made of different materials than either Jupiter or Saturn. So we'll be studying the different properties of Uranus and its satellites. The other interesting thing about Uranus is that it's tipped over on its side with its spin axis at this time basically pointing at the Sun. So it has a much different orientation with respect to the Sun. The questions will be answered during the encounter before the tiny one-ton spacecraft ventures even further into our solar system to visit the eighth planet from the Sun, Neptune.


Welcome into another episode of the original gangsters podcast. I'm Scott Bernstein your host. This is another quick hitter episode. We got Benny behind the glass and Jimmy will be joining us later this week on the long form 60 minute edition. Today I'm going to talk about the outlaws motorcycle club. And some recent developments. In that group, we've been talking quite a bit about the peace talks that are going on between the Hells Angels and the outlaws as a means to combat the pagans motorcycle clubs blue wave their expansion effort. And in relation to that there are some, you know, there was there's been some news. First off, out in Buffalo, the international president of the outlaws, the number one shot caller in that group, Tommy Oh, his real name is john or mean, but the outlaws and Tommy oh have come up in the court record for an upcoming trial this for Peter Jurassic Junior and Joe Bon Giovanni. Jurassic Junior is the nephew of alleged Buffalo mafia Don Big Joe Tadaro and Bon Giovanni is a retired DEA agent, childhood friend of Jurassic that's accused of protecting mafia back drug operations and accepting about a quarter of a million dollars in payoffs court findings this week. Speak to the power dynamic between the mafia, the Buffalo mafia, the Magadena crime family, and the outlaws and in a court finding I found surprising. They're trying to make the prosecution is trying to make the claim that Jurassic Junior is a, if not high ranking member of organized crime, somebody with status in organized crime he's never been convicted of any mob related activities. Right now he's under under indictment in a big case, but within that case, they have witnesses, telling them that over the years, Peter Jurassic Junior as owner of Pharaoh strip club, which is his, his business and Tommy Oh is his general manager and head of that strip club that Peter Jurassic has bragged and boasted to employees that he is a made member of the Buffalo mafia. What's interesting in these court filings is that the prosecution is making the claim that the outlaws Tommy Oh and his guys that work there are a number of outlaws in addition to Tommy Oh that are employed at Pharaoh strip club are quote unquote subservient to Jurassic Junior, meaning that the outlaws get their final word from Jurassic you could look at least within the club and within the drug and prostitution rackets that are being alleged that Jurassic is being accused of overseeing bond Giovanni is being accused of protecting and then in a separate investigation. The outlaws and Tommy Oh are being investigated for participating in these drug rackets supplying the drugs at the club, as well as taking part in the sex trafficking and prostitution rackets. But it was interesting to see that word subservient that Tommy Oh and his guys would be subservient to Peter Jurassic Junior. Peter Jurassic Junior, at least to the naked eye, before this case came about was a nobody. Yeah, he was the nephew. I mean nobody within the realm of organized crime in Western New York. Yeah, he's the nephew of big Joe to Darrow the grandson of lead pipe Joe to Darrow big Joe's reputed predecessor. But the idea that someone like Tommy Oh or people like the outlaws would be taking orders from Peter Jurassic Junior. At least this is what's being alleged in the court filings I think is is something that kind of flew under the radar when these court filings. Hit the docket a week ago. The big, you know, headline from those from those court filings in the Buffalo press was that the judge john Sinatra US District Court Judge john john Sinatra was having to recuse himself was stepping down from from the case, because of emotion by the defense claiming that there were a couple of potential character witnesses that might cause a conflict of interest with Sinatra Sinatra recused himself by but when he recused himself mentioned that he felt that this was gamesmanship by the defense to get him off the bench to try to replace him with with a judge that maybe was more favorable. So he went towards Jurassic Junior and Banji Avani, he claimed that he didn't think these witnesses that would have the conflict of interest would actually ever testify they were dubbed character witnesses. Jurassic Junior's attorney and Banji Avani attorney pushed back on that notion. The word subservient. When it comes to the outlaws to someone like Jersey and the Italian mafia, I think it's a big word it speaks volumes. And when you talk about kind of a pecking order, especially when you have a what looks like a lower rank guy in an organized crime group, employing someone like a Tommy O who this isn't hyperbole in terms of organized crime shot callers in the country, if not the world, Tommy O is in the top five right now probably top 10. And the idea that he would be subservient to someone like Jurassic Junior. I think there's a lot to unpack there and we'll see where that takes us as as the case gets off and running in August if there are any charges that eventually hit the outlaws.  The seat of power has always been either in Chicago Detroit Milwaukee. It's never been out in the east coast in the last five years or so. It's now in Buffalo with Tommy Oh, a lot of activity. You know a lot of biker politics percolating right now. The relationships between these groups are very fragile if not at you know, if not at war. I don't know what what we can call what's going on with the pagans right now but they seem to be butting heads with almost every rival group that they encounter in this expansion effort, whether it be the angels, the outlaws. I just wanted to alert everybody of that language in the court filing that says that the outlaws Tommy Oh, take direction from Jurassic Junior it's not saying they take direction from Big Joe to Darrow which would make more sense. I'm saying they take direction in our subservient to Peter Jurassic Junior who we have no idea what status he has in the mafia has never been convicted of being a main member of the mob. All we have is witnesses claiming that he's he's bragged of being a member of his uncle's crime family. I want to finish off here in our home state here at the OG pod, the home state of Michigan we had some outlaws activity that could be related to this ongoing conflict with the pagans and peace talks with the Los Angeles but we don't know for sure last week. One of the four outlaws clubhouses here in Michigan was set on fire. Luckily the fire didn't spread, but police in Bay City Michigan which is about 100 miles north of Detroit, and they have a pretty integral chapter up there. At one point in time in the 2000s, you have the the whole boss of of the Midwest or part of the Midwest region for the outlaws was based in Bay City they called him black region Roy Lee Roy Frazier. But I believe it was June 15. There was an incident at the Bay City outlaws clubhouse where someone a 32 year old man who has not been identified showed up and threw gasoline on the porch and let a match fire started for literally like five, six, seven seconds went out.  The 32 year old was taken into custody, been charged with an arson. We don't know motive. I've heard that it's possible that this was just a personal beef that this guy had with a member of the club and it wasn't related to, you know, bigger club politics or anything involving the the pagans or the Hells Angels. But it's just something to keep an eye out Bay City outlaws clubhouse was attempted to be set on fire in an arson this week, and then out in Buffalo we have the court filings that show us that the outlaws in Buffalo are taking direction from the strip club owner Peter Drasek Jr. So we'll be keeping tabs for Ben behind the glass and for Jimmy will be back for the long form episode. Scott Bernstein og pod out. .
