He better not have overdone it with the Scottish accent. Some of us non-native speakers would love to get a grasp of what he's saying.

(Yes, I've spoken to native Scots before. Yes, I had a hard time understanding them.)

Well the Gaelic folk are the ones you need to watch out for, they're worse than us.

I didn't really mean native Scots for the whole thing, I just hope he's added a few slang phrases in there to represent ;)

Like "Aye that PS3 sucks, I was trying to setup a match with the crew and it didnae know what is was doin. Pure laggin and naw wanting to connect right like." :p

Nah, he was fine. You'll probably have more trouble understanding me :rofl:

I had no issues at all last time, not that surprising though.

What was a little surprising was quite a few people moaned at you, not one or two. I genuinely thought you were pretty clear! (accent aside) Ah well, those Americans, always moaning about something eh? ;)

Anyone expecting to hear Grounds Keeper Willie will be disappointed :p I don't have the strong stereotypical highland accent and I'm not one for slang (at least I don't think I used any in the podcast). Maybe I'll throw in some next time :laugh:

I think people will struggle with how fast I talk if anything. In fact, almost definitely. I talk really fast in person so its hard for me to slow it down and I end up making mistakes more often than not. Nerves don't help :p

edit: aw man just listening to it now, do not like hearing my voice at all lol

No one does, working in a call centre numbed me to it though.

I used to have to sit and listen to 30 min - 1 hour calls done by myself. Often with someone else (like my team leader) sitting with me.

Made me want to put forks in my eyes, the amount of **** you say subconsciously over the space of a timeframe like an hour is horrifying at times.

Oh yeah, if you have the podcast is listenable format it should be released. Weekend confirmed! (haha totally stole that from ListenUP :p)

It might be available tonight, it may not be. I think Larry is quite busy at the moment, but I'm sure he'll have it online as soon as he gets chance.

Patience is a virtue.

Any news on the release?

:)

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
