Hi Steve, I'm wondering what this high scoring game taught you guys about what you need to work on on the defensive end of the floor. We definitely got tested tonight. We came into the game number one defensively and I think that went out the window.  They are shooters playing with tons of confidence. Lloyd has them playing with freedom. Trey obviously is tricky but they got Collins who is a dynamic roller. Capella is a dynamic roller and shooters all around and they do a nice job of it. So we were tested tonight. Our defense you could say held up or didn't hold up but at the end but reality is it was a new look for us, a new challenge and we got to get a lot better at that end of the floor. So we'll take a look. We'll refine. When you're really stretched and challenged like that, especially to a new young kind of situation like this, it can cause doubt. And so we got to make sure that we go in and solidify our process that wasn't tested like this thus far this year. Brian Lewis with the New York Post. I'm curious with Katie and Kyrie in the fourth quarter what they did. Was that a matter of you guys tactically changing anything to get them in the right spots or was that just two very good players being great when they had to be? Yeah, I think in the case of Kai he just was having an off night until the fourth he finally got his rhythm and I think that gave him juice and we tried to put him in situations that he could thrive with an open floor and space it out for him and he could attack the big and he was obviously wonderful in the fourth quarter. So Kevin I thought had a pretty solid game all around almost a triple double 33 points. He made some big plays in the fourth quarter but I thought he was pretty strong all night but Kai definitely brought us home. We'll go to Michael Grady with Yes Network. Coach did you need to say anything to Kyrie after those first three quarters and did you notice anybody but Kevin talking to him also? No, I just told him to stay with it. You know what he's capable of and for me it was just a frustrating night for him it just didn't feel like he could get into a rhythm and find his spots almost like he wasn't comfortable. And finally he found it. He dug deep and got a rhythm and found his comfort and was getting to his spots and executing but I didn't have much to do with it other than trying to get him in as many open floor situations as possible simplify things so that it wasn't difficult to read or process and just keep things very straightforward especially once he caught his rhythm. How did it feel for you out there with everything that Atlanta was throwing your way on the offensive side of the ball and I think we saw you got as animated as we've seen you before with some of the calls as well? This is all new to me so maybe I need some experience taking these haymakers but they're throwing threes in everywhere getting dunks, offensive rebounds and as a young coach it's hard when you can't impact the game the way you're used to impacting but the guys hung in that's the number one thing. You're not always going to win the way we want to win. Holding teams down tonight we couldn't stop them but we finally got enough stops to let our offense get going and yeah I definitely need a beer. We'll go to Greg Logan with Newsday. I love it Steve. I just wanted to know it's only the fifth game of the season but was this a little bit of a gut check tonight because it could have been three straight losses and you had to have your two big guys come through down the stretch? It was a gut check. Things just weren't going our way. They were playing great. They were putting us in positions where we were uncomfortable making us causing confusion. I think our defense let down due to that many times but we didn't fold. We continued to find ways to get stops, to get steals, to get baskets, to get to the foul line. If you want to be a good team at the end of the road it's non-negotiable. You have to have a ton of resolve and this team showed that we have resolved tonight. We just got to show we can play better defense the next time we play.


What are you guys looking at? I'm showing Ashley pictures of my girlfriend. We have so much in common. Even small things. She can't whistle, and I can't either. And here's a picture of my boyfriend. My family is big, and so is his. I don't like ball sports, and he doesn't either. We are made for each other. And so are we. Perfect partners. And so have I. Pete and Ashley are talking about people they love. They are putting two ideas together with connectors. Let's start with these two sentences. She can't whistle. Pete can't whistle. How do you put them together? Pete says, she can't whistle, and I can't either. You can see we just add the conjunction, either, and take away the verb whistle. And Ashley says, I don't like ball sports, and he doesn't either. Keep looking for connectors. You met someone, Anna? That's great. What's his name? His name? His name is Buster Carter. Buster Carter? It's just Buster Carter, Ashley.  We're a great couple. Let's all get dinner tonight together. You can bring Buster. Yeah, I can't wait to meet him. Thanks, Ashley. But he's really busy tonight with his squirrel collection. Bye, guys. Gotta go. Squirrel collection? You know she made all that up. That's so sad. She needs to meet someone. Hey, do you know anyone? Or she might? No. Lied. You lied. Now they think you have a boyfriend with a squirrel collection. Your squirrel? Well, you need to tell them the truth. You don't have a boyfriend. Excuse me, is this seat taken? Ashley, Pete, I need to talk to you. This morning, I lied. Let me guess. There's no Buster Carter. What a surprise. I'm sorry. But later, I really did meet someone. And we have a lot in common. He's good at flying kites, and so am I. He likes to read comics, and so do I. I can play the ukulele, and so can he. He sounds perfect for you, Anna. Can he come tonight? That's the sad part. You see, he just got a job as a spy. And tonight, he leaves on assignment. Of course he does. But that's OK. Because now I know that there is someone out there made for me. Oh, it's late. I have to see him off at the train station. Bye, you guys. Bye, Anna. Oh dear, she's worse than we thought. She's lost her mind. What should we do? Let's tell her. No, Pete. Mr. Wright may not be real, but he makes her really happy. Do you find any other connectors? Notice how the words are in a different order, in the part after so. I am becomes am I, and he can becomes can he. Check out the website to find out more.


My name's Katie, I'm 24 and I'm from Essex. I'm George's ex and we've seen each other for a little while. The reason why we're finished is because I got back with my ex. My longest relationship was four years. It's the only person I've ever really been in love with. And right now, I'm just enjoying being single. My ex would probably describe me as a bit spoiled. He used to call me a little brat. I think the best way to get revenge on an ex would be to make yourself look a hundred times better than what you did when you was with him. The weirdest thing I do when I'm on my own is probably make scenarios up in my head and then think that they're actually happening. Any possible thing, I just overthink, overthink, overthink. My biggest social media foul would probably be scrolling all the way down, checking someone's photos out and then accidentally liking them. The thing that I like the most about myself, I'd probably say my top teeth. The thing I like the least about myself is I speak before I think and it gets me in a lot of trouble. The dirtiest sport I've ever had is probably jumping in bed with one of my mate's dads. Is the salt.


Welcome back everyone and today we have a new update around the social posting. Now if this is something that you're looking into or you feel that your account may benefit from, we'll get straight into it. But obviously it's worth watching to the end to see the interactiveness between the accounts and the benefits that social posting can have if that is a direction that you're looking to expand into within your marketing, especially with the platform's restricting of visibility off the site as well as the limitations on the promoting off-site for free. So let's get into it and we'll have a look. Okay so let's have a look. So this is the post that has come up on the eBay Inc.com site for news and innovation. Excuse me. We will drop the information in the link in the description for you if you want to check it out for yourself. And this is around the new AI social media posting description, the caption. It creates the caption. Like you have in your item description within your listings, they've now introduced AI for the caption. So it will try and gather the most beneficial hashtags and keywords from your listing and pop them into the description for your social media post. Now this may or may not be beneficial to you but we'll go through it and we'll show you how that works. So the post came out actually in December, December the 18th. It doesn't seem to have been covered too much but I think the benefits of this have been overlooked. So let's go through it. So basically what it will do is as it states on here it says for eBay sellers social media can be an invaluable tool for publicizing, promoting and popularizing their listings. But figuring out the best phrasing can feel challenging. A new eBay feature powered by generative AI makes the process for of drafting a post as easy as clicking a button. We're excited to announce AI generated social media posts. The right social media content can help direct potential buyers to listings. It can connect people in online communities, catch the eye of those who aren't even actually shopping and make an individual listing stand out. eBay's product teams are always working to create innovative experiences for sellers and our long history working with AI allows us to take advantage of new developments and create new opportunities for sellers including optimizing social media exposure. When sellers visit the social page in the seller hub under the marketing tab and start creating the social post they will see the use AI caption button next to the text entry box. When adding a social media caption our generative AI crafts a post about the item being listed including hashtags and emojis. The seller can prompt the AI to rewrite captions and also manually customize to include any or any all or none of those extra features. Once published the post also includes a link to the listing along with the image of the item to attract new buyers. Now this is really really good.  It is a great idea. Now as it says this feature is fully available in the US, UK, Germany and Australia allowing sellers to share individual listings, categories, promotions and stores. We're seeing a great response from early users as they would say. Sellers love the new feature with one writing just wanted to say that the generative AI feature in the ebay social posting tool is a major game changer with social sharing. It also states coming soon is an additional enhancement auto posting. Now that's massive. Sellers will be able to choose to automatically post their listings to social media as soon as the listing is published with no additional action needed. This is just one more way ebay is leveraging innovative technology to help connect people and build communities to empower economic opportunity for all. Now we need to think about this. Now we know that eventually ebay is going to start charging us for posting to social media. It's just a matter of time. We know this but on top of this we need to make the most of this opportunity whilst it's here to trial it, test it, see if it works for you. If it doesn't work for you, it hasn't cost you anything. There's no extra hassle. All you're literally doing is going to the social media and making a post, clicking on the items, clicking on the specifics, the shot, the category, whatever it is you want to promote. It will come up with the hard work for you. You don't need to do it. It's no brainer. Now you might be saying I don't want to be managing a social post coming in on my personal page on Facebook or Instagram. Well okay, don't use your personal account. If it's Facebook you can easily create a business page and then all you're doing is posting through the business page and then you don't have to mess with it on your personal account. Why wouldn't you benefit from it? Now the thing with that is it depends what you're selling. If you're selling local then fine. Great, not a problem. If you're selling international, great. Again, not a problem. All you're doing is creating exposure to your listings. Now you're drawing the traffic into your store. It's not costing you anything. Now at the moment, yes, you have to create the the post to some degree but as it's stated, coming down the line is going to do it automatically for you. So if you can get used to the feel of it, get the trial of it, see what you like. When it comes to the point of automated, when you put your listings up the work's already done for you and it's extra exposure. Now for those that do or do not understand anything about SEO, quite simply the exposure on the search engines, the power it gives, the placement it gives within search on Google for example, the more power behind, the more things that link to that listing gives it more oomph in the Google search engine. So for example, if you have a listing on eBay and it's not connected to anything, you're not promoting it, you're not anything else, you just literally click and list. There will only be so many roads on the internet leading to your listing. Okay, so just think of roads leading to your store, your shop. Now currently your shop is in the world of eBay which is like an island in the way it is now because they've stopped promoting, stopped pushing listings out into the ether onto Google. As it would seem, you go to Google and try and search for something, you look in shopping, there's no eBay products up there. I mean I don't know what's going on with that, well I do but let's not go there today. So what you're wanting to do is you're needing to build connections to your listing. The more connections are leading to it, then the more powerful that connection becomes, that initial listing becomes within the Google engine. Okay, so pumping a link to Facebook, for example, onto a Facebook page of that listing, you've got a reputable link which is Facebook which then if it's creating the hashtags and the keywords within all those keywords, all those hashtags create new roads in, new avenues to your listing, making it more front and center in the search on Google. Okay, so that's basically what it's all about for those that don't understand SEO. Now this is a very simplified version, there's a lot more you can do behind the scenes if that is your intention or you wanted to look down but today's video is just about the social media side of it. So as I say we've got this here and I'm going to go into the the social media page and I'm just going to talk you through, walk you through creating a listing. I'm just going to create a product and just make one up, get it into my listing and just to show how it works for you.  Now if you just hover down to social new, when you click on that it will bring you to the social page. Now below here you can see there are options of Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. Now I've linked up Instagram and Facebook for now and that's all we need for this and you can see where it says create a post. Alright, so from here we're going to click on create a post. Now we're going to choose for myself, I'm going to choose Facebook. Now you've got a choice, you can either do listings, category, shop or promotion. Now for example promotion, I don't have any running at the moment but you could choose one of your promotions if you've got a markdown or if you've got a discount off etc, you have that option. You have the shop that you can select, you have the category. So you can select if you've got a range on, oh let's just say toilet seats or men's clothes, jumpers for example or caps or CDs, whatever it may, whatever. You can select the shop, select the category and then you can promote the whole category. Now for the sake of this listing I'm going to create just a specific listing just to give you an idea of how this is working but I personally am probably going to start promoting either the shop or the category at the moment because if you were to generate a lot of traffic and you want to sale of course but if you are generating traffic the more views you get which is great if those views don't all turn or if the majority percentage on average are not converting as many as you were before you're going to bring down that items sell-through rate. Now remember that's important on platform so in order to get more exposure, more strength on externally that's great but whether or not you want to do it to a specific listing that is your choice but remember the more traffic you drive you need that to sell because if you get too many views it will bring that sales conversion down and too many of your items being listed within the sales version coming down will then affect the store and the accounts overall sell-through rate and your sell-through rate is absolutely key. Okay so let's just go with a listing for the sake of this one now from the listing you'll be able to search for a specific item which we'll do here and then from your list you will select the tick box of the item you want within the listing and then click next at the bottom right once you've selected that you'll then be presented with an image of the listing the main image from the listing now you can add additional images if you wish you can add from anything and every time you click an additional listing it will add all those from there and you can have up to four images okay so you can select or you can delete them as you wish from that listing now from that point you then have just below here the create caption and then to the right use AI caption so let's just click on that and see what it comes up with so it's writing now it's come up with three different ones uh get ready to rock and pop with our job of bundle job lot bundle of 12 cds music albums and it will pull information from the listing now as you can see you've got three different versions and they've all got hashtags to optimize the power on the other social media platforms now you may like one or more of the others and you see as you can see here you can actually uh click drag across if they say a part of that you want you can copy paste it to a notepad and then take out the section you want and then put it in the one you choose so let's just say we choose that one just go for the first one for the sake of conversation so yeah we want that one so it submits it puts it in the box there for you now right here you can change and add more things to it so you might want to add say hashtag rock or hashtag compilation you don't particularly like let's say i'm not a fan of that one because let's just take out the other one for sake take a conversation but you get the gist you could take one out you can then jump change you can add some more in and if you don't like quite the wording that's on there or you don't like the the the icons you don't want the uh silly little icons in there don't like emojis that's fine no problem take them out and then from there you can either schedule the post at which point you can say when you want it to post if you don't want to post too much and then schedule it or you can just press the post button and that's it that's all you have to do it's really really simple now the benefits of this way way way out way the time you put into it if it's done right this is free remember that this is free promotion now you may have a facebook page or an instagram page that you don't have followers on or you don't have hardly any or you know and that's fine that's what the hashtags are for that's what the key words within it are for so when people are on facebook and they are typing in and they are searching these sort of things will start going into facebook's algorithms and i mean we all know how much junk comes up in the feed on facebook but we all are guilty of clicking on somewhere along that row and then of course obviously you get taken to that link so they will see your listing or your category or your post you may gather some social influence and followers from there it's a no-brainer it's worth doing it's worth trying just take out 15 minutes a day that's all you need 15 minutes if you picked one of your listings and said or one of your categories or whatever is you want to do and you said today i want to create a post now you may not get traction straight away remember this but it will gather in time now also understanding seo is it can take on average up to 30 days for an outside post which will be classed as a backlink which is the term they use for it is backlink in it's creating a link in the background which is over on facebook or instagram and it can take up to 30 days on average for the google to do its crawling of the the internet gathering those links and those webs yeah know those threads that are taking it to different sites and then it indexes it once it's indexed it's saved that strength will only gather speed the more people look it will gain interest it will gain power and then the more that your facebook page gains power it will push more out more people looking will then push more to your ebay page it sounds like a lot of work because of what i've just gone through and i've carried on a little bit but it's not it's really really simple and for the sake of one post a day what have you got to lose for just 15 minutes to try it if you do it for a month one a day after a month you've created 30 posts so that's 30 more links 30 more opportunities of someone coming to your listing and that's if only one person sees each of those posts let's just say two or three people see it in a day that 30 becomes 90 opportunities and as the next month goes on you do it again that becomes 180 opportunities for new posts the more traffic coming in the better chance you have of selling and those posts at least for the first link and to my knowledge they are not classed as promoted listing standards so you shouldn't get charged a fee they shouldn't double dip you i can't hold my hand on my heart and say they won't we can always watch and see but from my understanding of it it's worth it it's worth it so give it a shot give it a try see what you think if you have any answers or any questions or any thoughts on this drop them in the comments below if anything has become of interest to you or anything has given you some insight don't forget subscribe button just below comment like share let's get the community in on this let's get them to have a look the more information we can gather and pull back the more results we can have the more we can see is it worth it for you everyone's going to be different but it may be beneficial to you and what have you got to lose by just trying all right guys don't forget keep it real and i see you on the other side take care


So, this library would enable different android applications to not care about the encryption or decryption logic, just supply the encryption method and the required parameters and get their files encrypted or decrypted. The technology that we are using here is Java, we have written a native code and we have three configurations, either the application can create its own thread and then the encryption or decryption methods in their thread, else they can use a sync task that we have put in our library or else they can also use a service. So, in case the client application closes or the service will still run in the background so that the files don't get corrupted and the service will only terminate once the files are completely encrypted or decrypted. Regarding the roadblocks, there is this one roadblock that we faced in passing certain configuration objects to the service. So, to do this then we had to serialize the object and pass it as an extra parameter in the intent. So, the idea is to because in fact we use encryption or decryption and standard libraries which are available. Why would I want to use a new library? So, the main feature of our library is that it gives users the flexibility to do it in the service or in our sync task. The standard libraries that are available till now all do not provide this facility. This is that is the unique feature.

A really common struggle for ADHD years is impulsivity. That means interrupting people, saying things you immediately regret, having chaotic spending habits, or struggling with bad habits and addictions. Without treatment, impulsivity can lead to negative consequences like losing a job, getting expelled from school, or breaking up. Because it's impulsive, it doesn't feel like a choice is made, but nobody else knows that. ADHD brains don't automatically pause before acting, so you have to learn how. The first step is becoming familiar with how your brain works. The more you understand it, the more you can regain control and turn impulsive acts into thoughtful decisions. Best of all, this approach helps other symptoms like emotion regulation. Learn what your brain does differently, and you can learn how to do the things your brain wasn't wired for. While keeping the strengths ADHD gives you.


Good evening, everyone. It's great to be here. My name is Ali Duaire. I'm a Kubernetes documentation contributor at Cloud Avenue Engineer. And I'm here to talk to you about you, actually. The people in this room represent almost a quarter million cloud-native contributors from all over the world. And thanks to the Dancone Scholarship very recently, from increasingly diverse backgrounds. It's really, really special that we're all here. And I think it's more special that you can understand me. See, I'm speaking English. And whether it's spoken or whether it's going to be transcribed later, you can understand what I'm saying. When we zoom out a little bit, we're actually quite a small part of the globe. See, only a sixth of the world's population speaks English. And yet, we have access to more than half of the content on the internet. And of course, that's social media. That's news. That's your favorite recipes. But crucially, it's science, education, technology, cloud-native technology. It's my hope that you see that there's some disparity here. And of course, one proposal is, well, that's great, Ali. Let's get everyone to learn English so that they can get access to this room and this kind of technology. I'd like to make a case that we can do a little bit more. See, one's language is their window to themselves, to the soul, and it's their window to the world, how they understand it. Learning in your first language is crucial to your development as a professional, as a working member of society. So much so that UNICEF has found that in certain countries, learning in your first language at the primary and secondary levels can result into up to 60% better comprehension. That's basic math and science. Now, imagine what it must be like to learn about the Paxos algorithm or about containerization in a foreign language. This percolates into the workforce. It starts young, we start young with this disparity, and it moves on into even here. The Lynx Foundation has found out recently that one in five of respondents to that survey are open source contributors who find English language a barrier to their contribution. That's just the people who respond to the survey. That's people already contributing. Imagine all the people out there who are smart, intelligent, creative, may already be into technology who are just one conversation away from being the next contributor, your next client, your next manager, leader, customer, for what, for a language difference. Great news is, well, it's my hope that it's clear that to strengthen and grow our cloud-native community, we need to not just bring people onto the island where you and I understand each other, but to branch out and build bridges across language barriers. Great news is, some amazing people in this room, even, have been working on that here in the CSF. So I've got three projects or initiatives for you where if you're interested, you can help out with this initiative. So there are QR codes in the next slides. Pull out your phone if you're interested. First one is Kubernetes Community Days. Now, you're gonna hear all about these in the sessions that come up tomorrow and the day after. But the point I wanna highlight here is that KCDs give you an opportunity to share knowledge in your locale, in your native language. We've seen new languages in the last couple of years.  The next one is the Kubernetes documentation. We all love it, right? The documentation has been going through an extensive sort of ongoing effort to localize different languages. We've got 15 so far, two coming up. And of course, language evolves all the time. And so we need your help all the time, making it accessible to as many people as we can. And the last of the three, the least load, let's say, is the cloud native glossary. It's a project started a few years ago whose aim is to create a dictionary of terms used to introduce cloud native to non-technical people. And even that one's in almost, I think, 14 languages, four new ones since we last met in Chicago. And of course, this one's continually updating and it needs, we need your help and you can help out. Underlying all these things is language. And like I said, it's the window to the soul. It's what we use to understand the world around us and connect to people around us. And that's what community is. And believe me, it's not our smarts, not my smarts at least, not my hard work or hard work. It's the community that makes open source work. It's us getting together to work on problems, bringing diverse perspectives and solutions to the things that we want to improve in the world. So in the spirit of this talk, I'd like to say shukran and have a great night. Thank you.


Welcome to this CUBE conversation. I'm here in Palo Alto, California. I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE. And I'm here with MParticle, with Chi-Chu, Chief Product Officer. Thanks for joining us today. Thanks for coming on. Thank you, it's great to be here. So MParticle is doing some pretty amazing things around managing customer data end-to-end. It's a data platform, a lot of integrations. You guys are state-of-the-art cloud scale for this new kind of use case of using the data for customer value in real time. A lot of good stuff going on. So I really want to dig into this whole prospect. So what is the company about first? Dig a minute to explain what is MParticle for the folks watching? Yeah, absolutely. Well, if you think about the world today where it's like cloud computing and businesses are getting a lot of data from customers as consumers go online and they have these cloud services that are collecting all this data about the customer. How do you get it organized? How do you have all that data that's in different departments, reconcile them and give it to your department so they can really personalize the experiences? We've all had these experiences where with this loyal customer of a brand we shop there a lot and then we go over to the customer service and they act like they have no idea who we are. Our job is to help businesses really understand the customer and be able to treat them in a personal way to do the very best for every experience. Well, Chih, you're in a really big spot there with the company chief probably. You got the keys to the kingdom over there. You're overseeing all the action.  Customer data has been around for a long time. We hear big systems in the past. Oh, got to leverage the customer data. Why is the customer data more important now than ever? As developers and cloud scaler emerging in why is customer data becoming more and more valuable to organizations? No, well, customer data has been around for like decades and decades. The amount of customer data being generated online has just accelerated. It's been exponential. There's been more data collected in the past four years than the past 40 years. And like businesses are just starting to realize how much of a goldmine that could be for them if they could really harness it. And especially in today's world where treating it properly, respecting people's privacy, really doing well by the customer, earning the right to use that data is ever so important. The combination that brings the need for solutions like MParticle. Talk about some of the enablement that you guys offer your customers. You got a platform, you got a lot of moving parts in there, a lot of key components, a lot of integrations with all the best platforms to connect to. We're an API economy. So trust is huge. You got to have the data governance. Everything's got to work together. It's a really hard problem. How do you guys enable value there? What is the key product value that you guys are enabling? Yeah, it is a hard problem. And with the data being so important to businesses and treating it well and collecting it from all the different aspects, there are many places where we, our customers really value the services we bring. As you mentioned, we have a large set of integrations. We can get data in from pretty much any system that you have. Even if you built it yourself, we have ways of enabling you to collect that data from all around the company. Then we reconcile them so we create one single view of the customer. We adhere to all the privacy regulations around the world to make sure that you're compliant with not only the laws, but with the trust with your consumers. We clean that data and then we distribute it to all the systems where you really want to create personalized experiences. So the collection, the reconciliation, the cleaning, the conformance, and then the distribution, those are all key events that we do to bring value to customers. It's funny in all these major shifts, you're seeing all the same things. You got to be a media company. You got to be a data company. You got to be a video company. You got to be a cloud company. So in the digital transformation, with machine learning and AI, really at the center of the application value now, you can measure everything in a company. So the smart leadership saying, hey, if we can measure everything, we don't want to know what's going on with respect to our customer, the journey they call it. So there's the industry taglines of customer best in class experiences, capturing the moments that matter. Describe how you do that because moments that matter to me feel like something that's real time or something that's super important that's contextualized. You got to get that context with that journey. How do you guys do that? This is something that I'm intrigued about. Yeah, absolutely. And this harking back to my experience when I was at Amazon doing retail and we really focused on personalization. And the notion of when you go to one page or one screen on your mobile device and then you go to the very next page, that very next page has to be personalized with the things that you did on just seconds ago in the previous one. That idea of being at the interaction speed, keeping up with the customers, that's what we provide for our brands. It's not enough to just collect the data, turn on it, do a bunch of calculations, and then tomorrow, figure out what to do. Tomorrow, figure out how to personalize it. It has to be an interaction time with our customers. It's interesting to get a lot of experience in big companies, hyperscalers with large media business and data, bringing that to normal companies, enterprises, and mid-market, they have to then stand up their own staffs. They have to operationalize a large data strategy that maximizes the value. How do brands do this effectively? Can you share best practice of what's the best way to stand up and operationalize the team, the developers, the strategy? Yeah, I think this is a great question. And right now, the way the world industry is developing, businesses don't all do it the same way. Like, at Amazon, we built our own. Now, we had several hundred engineers in my team who were collecting their data, analyzing it, and we're cleaning it. Not every company can afford a couple hundred engineers just to solve this one problem, which is why I'm super excited about what we're doing in MParticle, where we're trying to make that available to every company in the world, whether you're a huge brand, like an NBC, or you're a smaller or medium-sized startup, like you have a lot of data, and we can help make it accessible for you. Now, many companies do start and build it from scratch, and the problems early on seem very tractable, but then as new laws come out, as the platform changes, as Apple and iOS change the rules on what you can collect, what data you can't collect, that puts you on this treadmill, always reinvesting and reinvesting in the data collection and not as much as innovating on your business, and then many companies turn around and decide, oh, I understand why you want a company like MParticle providing that service. It's interesting, you guys do a lot of that, the key value proposition that we hear a lot for successful companies. You take care of the heavy differentiated, undifferentiated heavy lifting, so the customer can focus on the value. This seems to be the theme of the data problem that companies want to solve. There's a lot of grunt work that has to get done, a lot of get down and dirty and work on stuff. If you can just automate it and make it go faster, then you can apply more creative processes and tools onto getting more growth or more value out of the use case. Is that something that's happening here? Oh yeah, absolutely. You know, the dirty secret that if you talk to any, like a machine learning scientist, data engineer, what they'll tell you is it seems like the world is sexy when you talk to new computer science students about building models. But when they go to industry, they spend like 80 or 90% of the time cleaning data, getting access data, getting the right permissions, and they spend like 10 to 20% of the time actually building models and doing the really interesting things that you want your data science to do. That's a really expensive way of getting to your models. And that's why you're right, services like MParticle, like our core business is to take that grunt work and that things that might be less exciting and bespoke to your business. Like that's the stuff that we get excited about and we want to provide the best and breed experience for our customers. Yeah, there's no doubt every company will have to have this really complex, hard to solve platform problem. You either buy or build it. I mean, not everyone's Amazon, right? So not everyone can do that.  You can't forget the fact that you'd be dealing with potentially trusted parties that don't work for you, right? So this is a huge connection point that I want to just quickly get into quickly. APIs connects companies, but now also connects data. How do you view that? How should customers think about the connection points when they start to share customer data with other companies? Yeah, you're totally right in that not only is it important for you to do this in terms of saving your time and engineering and all the amount of work you have, but the risk is super high. If you treat customers data incorrectly, you can break trust with your consumers. It takes a long time to build that trust in just a moment to lose it. And so it's more than just engineering time savings, but it's also a risk to the business. Now, then you go down to like, how do you do it? Why APIs? The reason for us, our push on really the API platform is to give power to developers.  If we provided only standard UI, standard ways of doing it, then our customers would all behave and have the same capabilities as every other customer. But by us providing APIs, it allows our customers to really innovate and make the platform bend to the will to support the unique ideas that they have. So that's our approach of why we really focus on the customer data infrastructure. Yeah, it's a great opportunity, I really appreciate your time. A real final question for you, as folks look at this opportunity to have a data platform and MParticle one that you have, they're going to probably ask you the question of, hey, I got developers too. I'm hiring more and more cloud native developers. We're API first, obviously we're cloud native. We love that direction. We're distributed computing, all that great stuff at the edge, I got machine learning. But I really want to integrate. I want to control the experience. I want to be agile and fast. Can you help us? What's your answer to that question? Absolutely. If you look at the things that your engineers are doing, you ask them how much of what they're doing is similar to what you expect from other similar companies and how much is really unique to your business. You'll probably find that a minority of the work is really unique to that business. And the majority are things that are common problems that other companies struggle with. Our job is to help take that away so you can really focus on what's unique, the spoke and innovative for you. A follow-up to that real quick is you're the chief product officer. Talk to the folks out there who watch it, who may not know what goes on in a product organization, making all kinds of trade-offs. You got a product roadmap, you got the 20 mile stair. You have a North Star. What should they know about MParticle, about the product that's important for them to either pay attention to or they may not know about? You know, what I think about MParticle is not just a product, there's the whole offering. And what you want to know about MParticle is we really work hard to empower our customers. Whether it's through the API platforms that you have the full flexibility to wherever you want, or through our customer service and our support teams, where we have a great reputation with our customers about really focusing on and unblocking them, enabling whatever the heart desires. Yeah, and building on top of it sounds great. Chief, thanks for coming on. Appreciate the update on MParticle. Thanks for your time, great to see you. Absolutely, thank you for your time. Okay, this is theCUBE conversation. I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE. Thanks for watching.


Okay, I think I'm all set up here. I don't know if the audio is working or not Hopefully it is There's wait a few minutes and see if anybody started watching this thing I'm going to rice KDE tonight if I can I don't know how well it'll work without being able to log out and log back in For some parts of it. I know some things you have to do in order to get things to take effect You have to log out and I obviously can't do that while I'm streaming so We'll see how this works out Have gone through and figured out what I'm going to rice it as so I don't have to stay here for an hour Just trying to figure out what color scheme or theme I'm going to use so that should be a Good thing Quite you guys much of a waste of time is when I was trying to rice. What was I writing? Ricing last time? awesome, yeah Trying to go through and rice awesome when I didn't know anything about awesome was not a good idea No, I'm just gonna give it a few more minutes see if we can Gather at least a couple people as an audience here So I'm just not talking to myself like a douchebag wonder why YouTube feels the necessity to Email you letting you know that you're that you are live like I'm pretty sure I already know that At least I guess then if somebody else went live on your channel Then you would know if you were checking your email These are the things that go on in my head All right. Well, I'm gonna go and get started here Very soon. We'll see how it goes All right, so um, this is Katie obviously um, and this is just what Katie looks like when you download it from the Archer repositories. I've done absolutely nothing. Hi Pedro. How you doing? The only thing I've done is Edit a couple settings I'm not actually sure The only settings I've worked with changed are the follow mouse thing here and the center here and then I've changed the compositor to Hopefully get rid of the screen tearing which is for whatever reason still a thing on Linux. I'm not sure why I'm not Been using Linux now for four years in the screen tearing is still, you know, a thing It seems to be okay this time. Maybe it's just me.  I'm not exactly sure why that was either So something to do with the comp up with K when I'm sure Anyways, I can get rid I can minimize that. So let's take a look and see What I'm going to be doing tonight. This is uh, I think it's on this one here. So yeah, this is the Rice that I'm going to try to emulate so this is the I Can't seem to get my act together and actually use X-mone ads.  I doubt Excuse me, I doubt very much that at the end of the stream I have anything that looks anywhere remotely to what this looks like, but We'll see That should be it should be fun I do have the Kind of at least a guide of some sort because it says here what the themes are and the icons are And stuff and I might try to get Cronkite working. I don't know yet. We'll see if I have time for that Has the widgets and the notifications and stuff. So We'll see now. I haven't actually gone through and Have for used covantum before so outside of like the one video that I made about it So I have no clue if I'm gonna even Close to knowing how to do that. I guess we'll see so I Think the first thing I'm gonna do is go up here to appearance and We'll see what those themes were that I needed said the ant Dracula KDE theme for KDE and GTK so Go back here. I do have a key binding for Switching workspaces, but I'm trying to avoid them because they're the same work key bindings that OBS uses right now So that'd be a pain in the took us Let's see here. I Did notice all the KDE websites are running really slow So I'm hoping to avoid those as much as possible. I'm hoping the back end. I think that's what I said it was Yeah This should be intro interesting see if it installs. I'll be completely honest. I haven't themed KDE in Almost two years since I switched to window managers. I haven't hardly ever used KDE except for like a few times. So Well I'm gonna be showing my noobness again tonight, but what else is new? Yeah, this is what I was talking about. I would notice it was running really slow Like the rest of my internet is not running slow. So this is just the KDE stuff. I don't know what's going on there Had to be tonight. The stuff decided to run slow No, this is on metal Luke Yeah, this is just on my main machine. So I don't know what's going on. So installation failed That's not up. That is not a Air that is at all helpful KDE like at least tell me what was wrong with it. Why? What went wrong? We'll try again. It's not gonna work Air transferring that again server replied internal server error. Okay, like I said KDE stuff is having problems Which is gonna be hilarious because I have a lot of stuff I need to download We'll try again it's gonna fail again. I'm almost guaranteed the cronkite thing is installed through K-Win scripts Up Pedro I've never done it before either. So I don't know if This is like I said, this is gonna fail again Which case we'll have to go through and do it the old-fashioned way. I Think you can go through and install a theme From a file you used to be able to I meant I don't see an option to do that error occurred Okay Well Close that and close that We'll see if we can download this see the store here is going slow Like everything else is running perfectly fine. So like Yeah, see they came right up. I Don't even need to run the test to know I had to choose this night to be this way Oh well We'll keep trying I just spinning spinning spinning Well, this is highly entertaining television or YouTube watching the internet spin Unfortunately, I don't have an alternative plan for the stream. I could just sit here and Talk about other things I suppose I could open up a VM and Talk about a distro or something. I guess I don't know It seemed like false advertising I but then how much I can do if I can't download the themes that I was gonna use Oh, hold on a second That's definitely just I mean look at that looks like I mean that looks like I'm in dial up That's horrendous and it's not that I'm streaming either because it was doing it before the stream Because I was gonna go through and have all this stuff downloaded Now I didn't try I didn't try the settings So let's Try again. Oh, I guess if we have to we'll just use one of the ones here that uh Hey, you want to I wonder do you think Where is Pamac when you need it? Do you think I could just install The ant KD theme ant Dracula's Angus Colt. Oh, the AUR is failing. I actually I don't even know if the AUR is enabled here That might be why you can't find it. So close this give it a try again So that's the GTK theme We'll see if See if the AUR saves the stream That'd be funny if I did We might try selling crank. I I don't know. We'll see if I've not if I can't get the themes to work Then I'll focus on that Not that downloading a k-win script will probably be any more successful than downloading a theme We'll see This doesn't seem it seems to be building. Okay This is why I don't use PMAC. Okay. Well, let's go ahead and close this and see if it's there now, huh? Workspace oh Hold on a second Dracula. It's not ant Dracula though, but but it's close Ha, it works. Okay. That was good. I'm close this and see if it actually Is that really what it that's supposed to look like? It shows every what about the like files it files at least change now You know, I bet you that's because in order to get that to actually appear you have to log out and log back in That's annoying What is this windows I Mean seriously, it's like having to restart your computer after installing an update Katie you are disappointing me. Let's go ahead install some latte doc. Here we go. I Think I have to have the git version Alright, so what we're gonna do now is Google to find out how you can reset Reset a KDE theme without logging out. I wonder if I actually use this If it's going to kill the screen this the stream to I'm gonna Like I'm gonna find out I'm gonna be very brave because I'm gonna try that so this is done Which is good. So I think and close this actually went before I close that I need to install covantum Maybe that's not how you spell it. There we go. Yeah. Oh, it's already installed I bet you it is because Yeah, no actually it's not and yes even discover here see look at this just even discover is down I think it just refreshes the desktop though. It doesn't refresh the theme like, um It might redo the I'm gonna close this find out close this Refresh desktop. Okay. Well, you want to know what I'm gonna trust test this if I lose the stream I will try to start it back up um This is gonna be It looks really nice though, doesn't it? That's a good thing Dracula has always been a good color scheme Focus follows mouse is not working But we're gonna so I think this is the one that it says to use You know because copying and pasting stuff you find on stack exchange Right into your terminal always a fantastic idea I mean, there's never in a history of the world has that ever gone wrong Sometimes plaid Michelle is not responding to this fails after a timeout. You have to get back to kill all So the nutshell I would do Do I roll on? Yeah, this is gonna this is gonna be a disaster, but we're gonna try it anyways the Stream looks like it's still going Let's look and see if my settings dialogue it still looks the same. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to look um, but we know the the Dolby yeah, that was completely pointless Oh All right, so that didn't do uh jack squat Um, so they mean plasma on a stream obviously not a very good idea Let me if it just maintains the old stream and you can't log out and log back in in order to show it All right script. We're we're gonna do the thing Let's see here so window management k-win scripts Get new scripts What was that call I forget? Also, what are you doing? Close that. Uh, what was that called? It was down Actually, I'm going to go back Go here Search for that See if this is gonna install.  It did. Okay. Now. I'm gonna have to go get the instructions So it is reported that a manual step is required to enable user configuration for k-win scripts This is a limitation of k-win scripting to enable configuration. You must perform the following in the command line Okay Yeah, all right. So it needs the settings button. That's what it's talking about. Okay, so we need to open up Console here. Yes. I'm using console because you know, you can't use k to e with another terminal How would you know what it was called without the k in it? Okay And again copying stuff from the internet that you don't know anything about Is exactly the way you're supposed to use the computer. Okay, so That should put a settings icon Uh here, but probably you'll have to close this and start it back up.  It's like, no, it's not Uh Okay, so where we were here. Oops wrong one. Okay win scripts. Yep. Here we go So we can enable this and then she gives us some settings here and Let's see here. So this is like basically some rules for like floating and stuff The geometry For screen gaps, we'll just add some screen gaps to the sides and the bottoms in the middle because window managers aren't proper without screen gaps And then layout use separate layouts for each activity So that's gonna be like the per tag Uh, it's gonna be like the per tag Uh thing for dwm You separate uh layout for each desktop I don't use kde often enough to know the difference between an activity and a desktop Is this anybody actually use activities in kde? I mean, I'm just Thoroughly curious about that like I feel like I'd never done that before Tile way out monocle out So these are the all the layouts that you can have. Okay, so we're gonna hit Okay And we're gonna apply so we have now Thoroughly We have tiling so what I should be able to do is open up a terminal here and open up a terminal here Haha, look at that. That's awesome. It's like I'm back in a window manager That was astonishingly easy. I have not used mate in forever That's maybe a good idea. Um, hopefully I have a better luck of ricing mate than I did kde because this has been a complete not a disaster um, not really my fault, but Um, what can you do? So let's uh I think now that I have latte doc. I can actually go through and we can try to do some more theming because Well, it won't look very good at the end because I won't be able to go through and show you what like the windows Are supposed to look like I should be able to at least do the the latte doc stuff. So Let's minimize that we have cronkite installed. That was actually something that was That was like really seriously easy I thought that cronkite thing would like take an hour to do but it did not so um, that was really good all right, so let's see here go back here and Download this I don't understand why the kde store just doesn't give you a download all option Would that be really all that hard? I'm just gonna download all of it because That's what makes more sense, I guess. Okay so We've been downloaded. All right, so Go back here all right, um Let's see here So we can go through I'm very hesitant to go through and delete my panel, but I'm going to do it anyways Um Because that's always a good idea Well, let's see your exit edit mode Okay, I don't think you want to see me race anything based on flux box because I didn't really care for flux box all that much. I did try it for a little while now. I liked that f Vwm thing that I just reviewed for arco. That was actually kind of cool But I think I was attached to that because of the way you could set up like a bajillion workspaces and I have a thing for workspaces okay Waiting for latte doc to open up. Here we go. We got latte doc down here. Whoo. All right Now the next thing let's see here Configure latte. I don't layout editor. Is that the thing you needed to do? um New import maybe downloads. Do I need to I wonder if I need to extract those things? Yeah, I'm gonna have to extract them And this makes it really really hard to see um Let's see your downloads. I can't hardly see that extract this here Does Dolphin not have oh here it is right here. Here we go Okay So let's see if I can get back to the Right Here we go At least I have at least I was good enough to actually go through and set up those Key bindings beforehand. Otherwise, I would have not been able to do that without the pager Import downloads. Here we go right here import apply switch Okay, and oh Oh, oh Okay, so that got really small over there. I don't know if you guys can see that but That's kind of cool When I last used KDE full time Latte Latte doc was still in like beta software And it didn't have any of these things We can uh delete that I think I just I think I can just Unpin launcher Unpin launcher A kingdom for a keyboard shortcut So Yeah, that's really cool. All right We can close this now Now actually what I want to do here is Ant dragula There was like a vantom theme for ant dragula. I'm going to install that from here because the KDE stuff is going so slow There are a ton of different themes that look really cool. There's a reason why KDE is probably the most popular thing I knew Nix porn My goal tonight was to Write something that didn't look like macOS. That was my goal And I'm hoping that I can you know follow through with that Now Let's see here. Um, what I'm what was I looking for? Oh covantum Okay, here we go. So we should be able to go through and There should be a dragula There's a ton of stuff that comes pre-installed what doesn't isn't I don't know which one of these will do better, but we're gonna try this one here Use this theme Okay um Let's see here. Um Let's try one of the other ones. Let's see what the difference is. So that was purple solid. This is purple Oh, that's that has some blur to it cool I don't know if I want blur all all over the place Dragula solid use this thing. Okay, so I don't know what the difference between those two are We're gonna use this one here with blur because blur is the thing Okay, so there's the covantum theme Let's see if we can configure latte to make that a little bit bigger I don't actually remember how to go through and edit latte doc, but we're gonna find out Layouts no So used to be like a edit doc. Oh, there it is Yeah, that's what I want. We need to be a little bit bigger appearance absolute size Whoa, it's way too big Yeah, that's better right there Okay, good. We don't need to zoom on hover. That's bloat Okay, that's really cool That is actually really cool. Now I need to work on widgets Because there's widgets that go up here the One that I was gonna Use where's my picture of the thing that I was gonna do? I think it was this Close that This is what it was gonna look like at the end so I'm Obviously need to you do the icons still and I need to go through and configure This bar up here because My bar doesn't look anything like that right now But I'm closer than I thought I was gonna be when I first started and especially considering the effect that I hadn't been able to download themes or can get the themes to actually go through and Properly show up like I was hoping actually we're on it with the covantum thing look The theme changed over So here's a question for you Why doesn't kde just use covantum for its theming like by default? Why is it an extra thing? I don't I mean I suppose it doesn't really need all that extra functionality If you're just going to change a theme, but it'd be kind of cool I mean then the the kde setting stuff is already so complicated adding it even more on top of that Probably is not a good idea but You know whatever all right, so The widgets that I need are right here So we need launch pad plasma virtual desktop bar Application title global menu This is left to right Okay so What's weird is when I'm See this panel up here supposed to we need to change the desktop I can see if When we change back to the other desktop that the Bar up here changes if you can see that I don't know if you can see that or not So the bar is supposed to be floating all the time and have these like these rounded corners And you can see that when the desktop's empty When I have something on the desktop The bar goes all the way across Now I'm wondering if that's because Let's close this and minimize this Yeah, I bet you that's because of um If I go through and make this Floating Yeah, that's because of that cronkite Let's disable that for now I don't know any of these The question is why are these That's because that's a widget not a launcher We can disable this and apply that way the bar stays We'll see if that actually Yes, see when something's full screen it goes all the way across. I'm assuming that's just a I guess I'm guessing that it's supposed to do that Okay, so I might re-enable cronkite later. I don't know we'll close this for now. Um Let's go through and add widgets. So we need to install some widgets Um Where's the Get new widgets download Plasma widgets Okay, all right, so we need launch pad Plasma see if it's gonna actually let me go through And install that It did could awesome. All right virtual desktop bar. All right So we're gonna want the most recent version I'm guessing Okay See if that will install I'm going into this thinking that nothing is going to solve so something can You know surprise me This one's not gonna install. Oh boy Well, this has been a bum of a stream for the most part I will say Well, we're waiting for that. I'm gonna go find a wallpaper I mean it would make sense to have a purple one Can you search by just purple?  I'm not using the Lakers one. Nope. Oh, here we go Yeah, that's nice. We'll save that. We're gonna actually just save that to pictures I think Well, I suppose we can save it to walls. Why not? I'm gonna name it Dracula so I can actually find it Not that I probably spelled that right Peter that wasn't nice The step-by-step Guide to racing elixirs depends on which desktop environment window manager using And this is Seriously the entire story of this stream right here right right here We will not install this because Complete and utter fail. No, no, no step three has to be unix porn Uh, that's so I mean there's no sense really no sense that you even trying to install Well, we could try an older version Maybe they'll work It's not gonna work Guaranteed I have to say I'm finding this very frustrating And peter you're not missing anything other than Sitting and spinning because the kde stuff is all down Uh, I've gotten around some of it by using the a u r but I don't think that there's I don't very much you can get the kde widgets Uh from the a u r.  I forgot Uh virtual desktop bar only crap it is I love the a u r so much Seriously, that's just spectacular I don't know if this is actually work But we're gonna find out See if this actually goes through and you know Kde is bloated. Well, I mean True, but not as bloated as Ganon I have to say I mean you makes you think that it's my internet running slow But it really isn't I promise Maybe just the internet is broken today or something So surprised that this was packaged for the a u r Oh, I know Peter. I just like messing with Ganon because it's a thing you do All right, this is Fascinating I'm just so happy right now Nothing ever works I came at that. You know what would be a good idea rice kde live on a stream That's because it's going to be really easy. You've done it before there's you know, nothing possibly go wrong I should have known I shouldn't take that long to clone Something oh, you know, I bet you it's because it's rinsed It's having the same problem it was having With the official thing Well, damn At least that Cronkite thing could have done was take a little bit of time so I could actually have something to do Uh, but it didn't Yeah, we know we you've failed because that's what you do is you completely fail. Let's See if I can install one of the other ones Where was that? So the other one I have application title already installed Global menu is already installed. I bet you Oh, see that finished. Ha you are win My speeds are fine is what I'm saying is that it's not the internet like I can show you speed test on it It came right up Fact I think I actually would still have it open Like you'll take a while to go to figure out which server it's going to use but then it will just it should just go Watch it put me wrong. Yeah, even the latency is just perfectly fine Yeah I mean, it's a little slower than what it's you know, normally is like usually get around 100 but It's running fine Pay for 180. That's how you know you get wow service I'm crappy upload speeds, but that's just the way it always is I've never gotten over 10 So now that I've proven it's not my internet Okay, we got that installed. We'll leave pamac open open just in case I can't install one of the other ones What was the other one that I had to install was a weather report I think Yeah, I don't know why I'm even bothering trying To install here. It's not even gonna show up um Weather report actually might already be installed I'll have to take a look better in line clock Here we go See if that's going to install It did good. I wonder why some of them will some of them won't deep. Hey, you want to I wonder if it's because Do you think it's because github's having a problem? I wonder if github's having a problem Now github's coming up fine, too Weird So it can't be a github problem either because a lot of this stuff is is sourced from github. I think um All right, so Let's see here latte sidebar And I'm skipping around we that one installed fine Okay, um I already have system tray audio violent volume. There's networks is there latte separator separator separator That one installed. Okay. Good And latte spacer And that one installed okay So I think that's all the ones that I had to install extra Widgets using sidebar. I don't I don't even know if I'll get to that. I will see We'll close that so let's go back here Yeah, my dwm dwm stuff is all in github The ricer's thing is basically up to date, too Yeah, peter. I was trying to install the stuff from you know the official sources, but it wouldn't so the aur had to save me Okay, so let's go through and Uh edit doc maybe all right So the application title or the application global menus actually here Here we go right here Okay, I don't know why you need that and add widgets so the one I was looking for is um Bar maybe activity bar global menu bar latte virtual desktop bar up here Okay, cool even if You probably will want to make those things icons instead of text Okay, what was the It's launch pad plasma so we need to launch pad Plasma right up here And that should give me yeah, okay good cool All right, obviously we'll want to rename the desktops to actually have icons, but that should be fun Actually making it farther along than I thought I was going to so that's um Let's go through and change the icons before I finish this because these icons are is this like numic circle or something? um Okay, let's see back here appearance icons Get new icons I think they're called Neons or something right? You're supposed to be showing a preview so that I actually know what these look like um I don't think that what did I say the icons were actually called the icons were called Candy icons, that's what they were called. Okay All right, so that's I won't even have installed the right thing Come on show me the preview.  Thank you for that. Thank you everybody for watching That was completely useless. There's no way that's the right one here. They are right here candy icons Well, you're welcome much. I would like to say that I was doing some good, but the slow ass, uh, you know not You know installing things stuff from the official places is truly bothering me Uh This is gonna fail What do you think? The the real question peter is can I play this stream at two times the speed?   So this is not alphabetical order Is it so we've changed the Icons that looks quite a bit better We can get rid of this gigantic thing from that can just be go go away Okay now, uh, let's see here Configured desktop. Where is that thing desktop wallpaper here? Okay add image walls Now what we wanted to do is go down to the d's Right here open Yeah That's cool I don't know it really goes with the icons, but it's I like that picture a lot Yeah, true that the icon pack is big. Um, let's see Rename desktop Rename desktop Rename desktop And rename desktop Uh, okay cool. I'd probably put like icons or something if I were going to you know, because the icons would be cool. I wonder if I wonder if you even can do that um Let's go find out Because we have nerd fonts installed Duck duck goes horrible Just so bad, um Let's use this one and find out Yeah, but it's so small it changed the icon, but it's just really really small Um, we'll just go back to ww Probably could change this the font size Configure a virtual desktop by rename as Well, let's see here Probably don't do that Well, let's see if it works on multiple monitors. I'll have to give that a try because right now. I'm only doing this one monitor appearance Go ahead. Sure. Enable animations. I don't really care about those Spacing between buttons desktop labels desktop indicators I wonder if you can hide those. Can you hide that? And we just leave it there, I guess Okay, we'll just close that that's cool. All right does Okay So what's we got to finish the See your edit doc. Here are some of these things here. We don't actually need Okay, and We need let's see here Add widgets. We need we need time We need the time it's better better Yep And that could go up here at the end Yeah, that's better. Um, and I got like a spacer Latte spacer Yeah, it gives a little bit of space between them. That's nice. These things can go away because apparently dunst is actually still running in the background um Okay, that looks a little bit better. Okay, so Let's go back to Which one was it? Oh here So this is what it was supposed to look like at the end and I will admit that I'm closer than I thought I was gonna be um Weather report actually did work That's cool. Um, I don't know why you need The application menu because I don't really want that up there Just close that That's so much better. Yeah, and dunst to go away um Honestly kind of shockingly successful. I mean it's not completely the same because it's it has Like the covantum theme is different. So if you up here do this covantum and change this here to the solid without the Change that that's evidently not the right one This one here No Maybe it was the wrong one All right. Well, I'm not actually sure One of these should actually be solid Yeah, that's it. But it's Maintaining the transparency of the dock. So I'm not sure which one they used Um, honestly doesn't matter I'm gonna go ahead and Go back to what we were before which I believe was this one here Okay. Oh, that's a good point. Peter. I wonder if I yeah I don't Make it a little bit bigger and a dock and Appearance That's obviously way too big Yeah, okay Close that and then That's still pretty small And I don't want that bar to be any bigger either Yeah, it turned out maybe I just need to use a different font I'm sure I'm pretty sure. Um, Katie has an emoji picker. No Katie does have an emoji picker It's a little weird. I'm it almost has to be a font issue. Peter. I don't know Come I'm using the the nerd font thing I was gonna try to see if I could use like a an emoji from No, no but apparently The font thing you won't actually let you search for specific Oh, here we go right here. Um I don't think that this I mean this is gonna be pretty dumb, but Yeah, that's bigger. That's way better Okay Go back here and see if there's a code, maybe I don't think that um No, no emoji doesn't actually have that many emojis here Or at least not nearly as many as I thought that they did So they have to find a different font like font awesome. I wonder if Here we go The search functionality does not work So I'm gonna have to have to go through And close that and zoom in so I can actually see the damn things Um, it doesn't really matter, but it's Okay, you know, there's so much there's such a better easier way to do this Here we go And the problem with font awesome's website is that they change it All the time And who the hell knows what version of font awesome you have No one actually knows that Let's see here. Oh, there we go right there That'll work Um Rename desktop. Yep delete that in this And that actually went really small So the only Uh icons that actually showed up as a good size was the noto emoji Uh both font awesome and nerd fonts showed up as really small That is Very odd I made just very weird Yeah, okay. Well, that was I mean stupid, but still And how else would you have known So So Honestly I think I'm as close to being done as I'm going to get right now because I don't think I'm going to go any further than this Um, no, let's Open up settings again. I think this is this system settings. Yeah, okay. Let's go back to Workspace behavior. No, that's the wrong one Workspace manager kwin scripts Cronkite turn that back on and apply Yeah, okay so we have Tiling back on again, and it actually is going through and showing the Bar up here appropriately not this time instead of showing it, you know All the way across the top, which is good. Um, that is really good looking. Um I'm not sure whether or not obviously I would need to go through and change these things.  We're gonna get rid of rid of one of these spacers because I don't need Can you actually not get rid of one of those spacers? Okay Now I have a spacer where I don't want it. I don't want this and mess that up Normally you can like delete Adjustify spacer Close yeah, now it's in the center. That's not what I wanted. All right edit doc All right, come on get back over here. It really doesn't want to go back over there. Does it? It's not even showing the spacer that I moved Uh weird What I wanted to do was have that to not be cut off, but a little weird. Okay Oh, well so What we've managed to accomplish despite all the difficulties is I've messed up that top bar, but I'll figure that out later Uh, we got tiling working. We got the thing kind of riced although the settings for up settings that never did take on the the You know the the theme of the rest of the desktop environment, which is weird uh Dolphin did which is good because that looks really good Um, I'm always gonna want this to be like floating So I actually have to go through and make that so that because you can change the rules of Cronkite Um, excuse me, you can change the rules Cronkite to uh So at least some of this stuff is always floating Where was that? Oh, I always forget. It's No, I always picked the wrong one um So I'm pretty sure that the system settings would go through and change after I'll log out and log back in Why I can possibly just do it, you know here on screen on the screen. I don't know um, but you can like I said you can change the rules here so by floating um So what I need to do here is find that the class of dolphin dolphin x prop And the class of dolphin is dolphin and you always check just to make sure Okay, so now if I close Dolphin and start dolphin back up. It should be floating which it is even though it is not actually Uh, I'm assuming it probably does mean seven gigs of ram used s peter Yep, but it's because I have like four Uh Firefox is open. I have obs open. I have a whole bunch of stuff open. So yeah That stuff takes up a lot of room now. See if I was going to go through and have Cronkite enabled all the time I'd have to go through and set the key bindings And I'm assuming the key bindings are set somewhere else then So directional key behaviors, so Does that mean Focus next is up and down Hey, that's not like that's not really what I wanted to do but cool I guess um I'll just lay out by resizing windows That's cool only so far That that's exactly like dwm too dwm in some places. It will only go so far We can close that Um Put new windows master.  Okay, even if that didn't actually go through works Did you like have to apply behavior into new windows master, but it didn't actually go through and work No, that didn't work Interesting. So Cronkite is something that I'll definitely have to sit down and actually, you know figure out for a little while All right, so I can close this um, all right, so I'm not quite sure what that stream was Most of that it felt like an epic fail But it was actually more successful than I thought it would be once I discovered katie stuff was having a problem And I know I didn't stream for as long this week as I did last week, but It wasn't as much of a fail as Last week's either or the week before so success Uh, I don't know whether or not even the audio was working because nobody ever said anything about the audio So I'm assuming the audio was fine I guess I will find out when I play the stream back and make sure later. I always do that So, uh, thanks for everybody for watching. I um do plan on streaming every sunday around this time I may if I have requests for it move the time back or forward a little bit if anybody wants Wants that to happen Maybe like a midnight my time stream would be more appropriate for some people that are You know elsewhere in the world That's something that I can definitely consider if uh if you want just leave it in the comments below because the chat will go We once is gone but If you if you said if you want me to change the time of this, but it'll probably be sundays for me Further foreseeable feature because it's just works better in my schedule.  Are you just being or are you serious? How would you know if you can't hear anything you wouldn't know if I was asking this or not Okay Yeah Sometimes I don't know your sense of humor. Anyways, whether you've heard you whether you've heard me say anything at all for this stream or not Thank you for watching. I should take a moment to thank our patrons devon marcus maglund dawning Merrick camp michael thanks everybody for your support. Thank you for watching I'll see you on a stream next time in a video tomorrow See you if that's the case that'd be whole
