Greetings friends — just a programming note to say that you may see me around more this weekend as our region prepares for .

Please feel free to send in questions, let me know what you're seeing, and offer streaming suggestions as I intend to stay indoors 😁

I will do my best to keep you updated with any relevant items from the newsroom.

@gbhnews There's an entire station of Lifetime movies on pluto.tv. Such delightful trashy cheese.

If you send me a DM that is just "Hello" or some shit like that, it's an instant mute.

@gamingonlinux OH yeah. "Hi." Just ask your damn question. Stop wasting everyone's time...

It’s weird how many people don’t understand a review is just that one persons opinion.

Why do people seem to make liking a game their whole personality, so they have to shit on reviews that don’t perfectly align with their thoughts? Social media feels like it destroyed IQs.

@gamingonlinux Narcissism? People can't conceive of others apart from their fragile sense of self?

@alien And thanks for libre office! That one's kind of a pain to build.

Some recent package updates: chromium (-ungoogled), ffmpeg, handbrake, pipewire-jack

Chromium, regular and un-googled.

Google is speeding up its Chromium release cycle. Let's see if I can keep up since I also build the -ungoogled variant. The latest update is 116.0.5845.140 and addresses a vuln

@alien So far all's copacetic with pipewire 0.3.79

@alien It surprised me how easy pipewire is to build. (Granted, I'd just used Pat's script.) I didn't have time to make coffee while it ran. ;)

@alien WAsn't supercollider. It was pipewire. Should already be fixed, but I haven't had time to rebuild pipewire.

@alien Turns out jack is a lot easier to use, when it can connect to its own ports. ;)

Haven't had an opportunity to play metas yet, timing didn't work out. I just reached the Wizard's Tower. Discovered that there's a new golden "I'm rich you know" title and immediately bought it. 12/10 better than heart of thorns xdd

I don't really like how rifts have the enemies all spread out. Would be nicer if they were clustered together like Jahai incursions. Very curious to see how they do with large groups!

@alien OBS 30 is a beta release. 29.whatever is sufficient for me at the moment, and God only knows what 30 will break.

@alien Is any desktop environment building against qt6 yet? Like it's just a bunch of applications using it. Feels premature.

@alien Oh cool. I didn't know it was almost ready.

@alien I need to update my raspberry pi before I stream, anyway. (I use it as a stream deck to control scenes, ban people in chat, etc.) It's the cobbler's kids not having any shoes...

@ProPublica Out of curiosity, were there numbers for the other high school in Community District 300? Dundee-Crown is the one cited with the highest number of truancy tickets, but there's another H. D. Jacobs high school. (Wouldn't surprise me if there weren't many. Rich kids always got a pass for things we (at DCHS) were punished for.)
