Two years ago this week was my 1st federated stream with #Owncast and every boost and share since has been a vindication of the 85% viewer sacrifice I made when I quit Facebook. SUCK IT FACEBOOK
18 years ago this week I published an album called A Model Psychosis to coincide with the 100th birthday of its living subject, Swiss chemist #AlbertHofmann, best known for his "problem child" #LSD.
Then 7 years later on the same date open culture prodigy and martyr #AaronSwartz was driven to suicide by the Obama administration.
Jan 11th will make history again this Thursday when a legal delegation from South Africa goes to The Hague to present the evidence of the Israeli government genociding the Palestinian people.
Tonight makes three years I've been streaming with #Owncast; three years I haven't had a single issue with the streaming server, adaptive rate video player, and chat interface that I personally control; and three years I've been serving the music more than I serve platforms.
Come over and watch me try to contribute something with a fraction of the value lead dev Gabe and all contributors to the project have.
