[dba-Tech] FW: FW: Language proficiency

[Jim Lawrence]

I am but I have also noticed that I learn slower or maybe it is that my entire future no longer depends on learning fast. Mind you, I have a pretty nice computer lab in the house and all the machines are littered with unproven tech. :-)

Check out the latest audio/visual streaming product that is built into NextCloud:

https://nextcloud.com/webrtc/ ...and... https://spreed.me/?fw (I am not sure whether this functions in a Windows environment but I think it is most likely browser based. I have been using Jitsi-Meet (https://meet.jit.si/) and have the package running on both my desktop and Android Smartphone.

Aside: Do you know that Windows has lost its crown as the most used Operating System...as if we didn't see that coming:

The amazing thing is not how fast Android and its Chrome books have captured the market but how fast Microsoft's huge lead has dropped. My kids and their significant others are what you might describe as average Millennials. All of them work on Linux (regardless of their PCs...they spend their lives working through terminals and remote GUI interfaces) and I suspect this is true of all tech sites and those of that age group. We are like Windows...slowly being replaced. :-( As for my using of Linux, it will not be as much fun if it is being used by everyone else....like those young punks and brats.

Jim, that surprises me. I thought you were a lifetime learner - like me.
