Tonight we go visit the Minecraft server of our very excellent @FusionWarrior , earned through years of support and more recently being among the top donors of our recent charity stream where we raised more than 1000€ for the German food bank!
Beyond my wildest expectations, we blew past the 175€ goal with 1056,01€ for the #germany based food bank "Die Tafel" last Monday within 10 hours of #streaming !
A huge thank you to @Rooki and @FusionWarrior
for their extremely generous donations and the many fine folk from the #fediverse as well as the #mastodon and #gaming communities who helped out and came by.
My community might be small, but boy howdy, is it mighty!
Just started free* trials of Qobuz and Tidal. They both offer up to 24-bit, 192 kHz streaming. Even so, I think I prefer Qobuz's quality.
The drawback is that Qobuz does NOT HAVE LYRICS. This is a major drawback for me as a hearing impaired person and also a songwriter (I want to know for sure what the lyrics are)! Qobuz is slightly cheaper if you pay annually rather than monthly.
*free but you give them payment info and the subscription kicks in if you don't cancel
Marvel is rebranding its TV shows to show fans that they don't necessarily have to watch everything in order to understand what's going on. “The hope is that, like the comics, you can just pop in anywhere and have a satisfying experience. We’re trying to dispel the idea that you need to do any kind of setup work to watch anything else,” says Brad Winderbaum, Marvel's head of streaming, TV and animation. Here's more detail from Variety. What's your take on the MCU these days?
After lengthy negotiations and two cast contract extensions, Amazon Freevee has cancelled "Primo" after one season. It's unknown if the production companies will try to find a new home for the series. #Primo#AmazonFreevee#Entertainment#Television#TV#Streaming
Beziehungsstatus: Es ist kompliziert. 💔💸 Immer wieder erhöhen Streamingdienste die Preise. Auch Netflix will wieder mehr Kohle! Aber lohnt sich das noch? Mehr zahlen, Werbung oder tschau?
I'd appreciate if you could share this around. As someone opposed to #Spotify for a dozen reasons there was only #Bandcamp that was semi-ethical & gave musicians a fair deal. Bandcamp is under new ownership, had big layoffs, changed their terms & are starting playlists (likely to fill with AI music?). Thankfully coops such as Mirlo offer a place to share our music that doesn't simply enrich dubious tech giants. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mirlo/mirlo #newMusic#streaming#coops#music#kickstarter
It's been almost a decade since I've done a live coding stream. This will be fun!
Today I'll be migrating my website from React to Lit, which is a lightweight framework built around web components. I have the scaffolding set up mostly, so now it's time to get this done.
Come watch. Ask questions in chat! You don't need to create an account, just a username is needed to participate.
We cancelled Prime awhile ago, so yesterday we decided to get Apple TV+ as we've never had it.
I am VERY aware of all the shows to watch- I've been making a list for months from friends, reviews, recommendations.
My question is, what good #movies are #streaming? I have no clue & would like to NOT scroll for a zillion years to see what they have. #Horror a plus, but all recs appreciated.

Samsung TV Plus is free and has a TON of content, both live and on demand.
You will have to sign up for an account, but Apple's "Hide My Email" works just fine. The signup process is VERY buggy, but press on, you'll get there.
Currently watching "Jobs" on my Mac. Thought that was apropos.
Today in Dwarf Fortress: The Sinister Start in the Plane of Myth, were gonna stream the setting up of some tree and obsidian farms.
My next goal is to get a cheap and easy supply of wood going for my fort. Wandering outside is too risky due to the smelly goo threatening to send my fortress into a tantrum spiral. So we're heading underground to set up a tree farm. It's a real pain to set this up but it will be worth it.
