[17:23] howzitcal: must be in a better place by choice, because no one drove them off :p [17:24] pavlushka: hahaha, just seems weird, going through the chatlogs, 2019 has been quiet [17:25] howzitcal: may be its because the year is odd! [17:25] pavlushka: haha superstitious IRC members! [17:26] howzitcal: hahaha, can only confirm that if they ever gets back. [17:26] 2020! [17:29] howzitcal: some will join and some will leave in course of time, point of growth is the in/out ratio, seems like the ratio is less than one. [17:29] pavlushka: profound!so its just you and I in the ubuntu-za wasteland ATM [17:43] howzitcal: though I have provided 3/4 new people with Ubuntu solution in my area but they seems to reluctant to use those and even more reluctant to come to irc for help. [17:43] or even chatting [17:45] that sucks pavlushka [17:45] congrats on converting peeps! pavlushka [17:49] howzitcal: interesting thing is that we have a different irc network called bdchat for Bengali people around the world which also serves as an android app and that place is crowded but the OPs are autocratic, so at the end of the day, I am not there [17:51] interesting indeed pavlushka so you're not in south africa? [17:52] howzitcal: lol, no [17:52] * pavlushka from Bangladesh [17:53] ok cool pavlushka so how did you end up in #ubuntu-za [17:53] howzitcal: otherwise we could have met by now [17:55] howzitcal: it's Kilos, I applied for ubuntu-membership, specially for the irc cloak, then Kilos and others helped me to understand that things don't work like that [17:56] pavlushka: haha kilos.... what a legend! [17:57] howzitcal: yeah, so I trained under Kilos and he invited me here. [17:57] awesome! pavlushka [18:00] howzitcal: it was funny, for the cloak, I asked straight in the #ubuntu-irc channel for a cloak, they said that needs Ubuntu-membership, am I a member, I said, ok I'll manage [18:00] pavlushka: haha cool, so are you a full time ubuntu user? [18:03] howzitcal: So finally after more than 1 year, I managed when Kilos asked me to re-apply after getting refused membership a year before [18:04] thats crazy that it took 1 year pavlushka [18:04] howzitcal: My main machine is a duelboot with Parabola and Ubuntu and the other in house are Ubuntu. [18:05] Ubuntu-Mate exactly [18:07] nice! [18:10] howzitcal: and I lured my one student into Ubuntu-mate using minecraft [18:10] haha how didi that work pavlushka [18:13] howzitcal: because minecraft is not free in other platforms. at least in windows, but it is in Ubuntu-mate, so I showed him the game and he got interested and with the game comes the system. [18:14] howzitcal: and also I setup wine there [18:15] and steam [18:15] and of course free servicing [18:24] nice! [18:24] wait minecraft is free on linux pavlushka ? [18:26] howzitcal: ok I made sure to launch the game on mate but may be need the feedback from my student but I guess it is [18:26] cool cool pavlushka [18:26] howzitcal: I didn't played it but I set that up
