My name is Gabe and I'm here to say, I'm rockin' on the mic every two or three days.

I'm the maintainer and primary developer of #Owncast. I'm generally always happy to talk to you about the project, it means a lot to me.

I'm not on Mastodon, I'm on the Fediverse. So are you.

Day zero of festival pre-parties complete. A great experience, but now onto the actual festival. Hate that feeling when you’re going home and the birds are waking up, but that’ll be my life for a few days.

I'm heading out to Detroit today for the Movement Electronic Music Festival. Beginning tonight through Monday, it's non-stop dance music, with sleep as a secondary concern. I might die.

gabek,

@lindner Oh man, I’m sorry to hear that. But it sounds like something great is going to come out of this. Let me know if there’s anything I can do.

Not linking directly because I don't want to shit on projects I believe are genuinely trying to make the web better, but every time I see a post about "the small web" or a more "humane" web or whatever that includes phrases like this about content: "created without the motivation of financial gain" I sigh so deeply lol

I am begging ethical web enthusiasts to understand what an extreme privilege it is to spend time working on something without worrying about money

gabek,

@sue The internet is a big place, and we’re all allowed to try our own things for our own reasons. Because I choose to write software, and give it away, to enable people to do things with, doesn’t make me a part of some kind of problem, and I’m sorry you see me that way. I can’t do everything for everyone, but I can do this. There are plenty of companies who make money and they’ll happily take you. Turning every free software project into a capitalist, venture-funded, profit-first endeavor isn’t the solution that you think it is.

I’ve been having a great time with my new @frameworkcomputer laptop. The flexibility is really unique. First I got to build the laptop myself with parts, and now I get it to be what I want it to be with regards to input and ports and such. I’ll probably swap out the screen bezel for a bolder color, though. The purple is not very purple. Worth the 6 month wait!

Framework laptop with keyboard aligned left and rgb macro pad on the right.

gabek,

@codemonkeymike The keyboard feels and looks great!

gabek,

@krakalak Oh that’s so fun! I’ll be looking into it!

gabek,

@blenderfox I’ve never had a fancy looking computer, just Thinkpads and MacBooks. I’m not a gamer, I don’t care about RGB lighting, or making the computer fun. But I thought for this one, since the options are there, I’d go all the way the other direction and make it really fun, just for a change of pace. I’m enjoying different for different sake!

gabek,

@piegames It’s a macropad, so you can program it to be whatever you want it to be. Numpad, arrows, special keys for the computer, whatever. I use it to switch between my window manager desktops.

gabek,

@frigginglorious I can totally see having a dedicated numpad would be useful for that use case. I’ve been using the macropad to perform one key macros to change desktops in my tiling window manager. It’s actually been really convenient, especially when my hands aren’t already on the keys. I just tap a single key, and I’m at my browser.

gabek,
