[10:30] schestowitz[TR2][10:30] schestowitz[TR2]I'm excited to share with you a significant update I've made to my digital archive. I've been working on re-releasing around 25 of my 'best-of' digital paintings from before 2012, under a new license. Previously, they were available under Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Non-Derivative 3.0 (CC By-Nc-Nd 3.0), but I've now updated them to the more permissive Creative Commons Attri [10:30] schestowitz[TR2] bution 4.0 (CC By 4.0).

[11:06] schestowitz[TR2][11:06] schestowitz[TR2]This article will blow your mind. But in a good way. Say you have any number of old computer games, many of which were created in the era of 4:3 monitors and low resolutions. And now, you want to play those titles on a modern computer, which most likely has a 16:9 or 16:10 display, with resolutions many times more than the old games. In a lot of cases, this can create problems.

[11:35] schestowitz[TR2][11:35] schestowitz[TR2]Ubuntu 25.04, codenamed Plucky Puffin was recently released. Ubuntu 25.04 is an interim release, bringing new features and updates for the vulnerable Ubuntu Linux distro, and I got hands on with a release candidate to tell you all about the latest version.

We go hands-on with the latest version of Ubuntu and see how it runs.
