When I was producing @Linux4Everyone, I always wanted to record a "Linux For Everyone: After Dark" edition.

The idea was to have an unscripted, unfiltered community-powered show with no boundaries on topics. (So, discussions that veered away from Linux and FOSS and focused more on the geeky, personal sides).

More fun, more playful, less edited, and maybe a little less "family-friendly."

Well, keep an eye on the @thunderbird space 😉

I know @linuxflower is in.

Who else?

Finally!

I finally have a device that is the perfectly realized result of something we were trying to implement when I worked at AMD's Radeon Technologies Group in 2016/2017.

A premium AMD + AMD laptop that hits ALL the sweet spots.

Ryzen 9 5980HX + Radeon 6800M with 12GB of VRAM. Smart Shift technology.

1440p, 165Hz display with 3ms response time and FreeSync.

Excellent cooling system.

NO webcam 💯

This is the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition. And I love it.

From now on when people ask that classic question "So, what do you do?" my answer will be "I'm a musician. I just happen to support that pursuit with a full-time marketing job."

When you meet someone, tell them who you truly are, not what you do to pay the bills.

This is WILD!

Researchers at California’s UC Berkeley managed to reconstruct a recognizable version of the Pink Floyd song “Another Brick in the Wall” by decoding brain activity...

Please indulge me for a moment while I extend some enthusiastic appreciation to @ryangorley and @freehive.

I worked with FreeHive for several months on the new @thunderbird home page (check it out at https://thunderbird.net), and the final result far exceeded my expectations.

This is why I'm going to work with them to redesign the entire site over the next several months.

Ryan, you and your team make #opensource look GREAT!

Today I am tremendously grateful for the 300K donors who gave a record-breaking amount to the @thunderbird Project in 2022.

And I'm tremendously thankful to be part of such an incredible #OpenSource project. One that is undoubtedly thriving, when only a few years ago its existence was in question.

Here is the 2022 Financial Report for #Thunderbird. I hope it inspires you to consider a financial gift to your own favorite #FOSS project.

As you'll see, it matters:

What the HELL is going on???

#DiabloIV just works on my #SteamDeck. I didn't have to tweak any settings. It just plays, and plays wonderfully.

PLUS I didn't have to wait in a queue, there are no error messages, and I'm not getting randomly disconnected.

Did we switch timelines or something? 😂

My dream is to release my first EP on vinyl, through Bandcamp. The more followers I have there, the closer I can get to achieving that dream. Please go give my new song a listen, and click "Follow" over there if you like it.

GOAL: 100 followers on Bandcamp by the end of November! https://hurricaneblonde.bandcamp.com/track/story-of-the-century

Welcome back to the @Linux4Everyone podcast!

A talk at #LAS2023 about software sustainability -- and the environmental impact of power-hungry code -- was a shocking wake-up call that's too important to ignore. So, please give a warm welcome to the creator of that talk, @kde's Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss

I fought a werewolf (twice!), single-handedly rescued a dwarf from some magical green goo that was turning him into an unknown beast, uncovered a plot to turn unsuspecting folks into beastly assassins, watched our rogue fail to even steal a utensil, made new friends, earned 1000 gold, rolled my first natural 20, and leveled up!!!

#Dnd is fucking awesome.

Until today only family and close friends have heard this, but it's time to start sharing. Here's the first song from what will be my first EP!

Thanks a ton for listening, and feel free to leave comments on Soundcloud or right here. I'm paying attention, and I appreciate you.

I'd like to formally lodge a complaint that it's almost #Monday already.

killyourfm, 6 months ago to random

Everyone who's boosting any of my #HurricaneBlondeMusic posts, or following me on Bandcamp, or adding my songs to their streaming libraries: YOU MATTER.

For me this feels a bit like open source. While I'm the sole creator of the music, anyone who does a shred of advocacy, liking, sharing, boosting, buying, streaming -- they're all contributors in my book.

Contributors helping me keep the dream alive. Thank you 💛

60 followers down (thank you), 40 to go!

Help me hit my goal of 100 followers on #Bandcamp by the end of November!

This is my personal favorite song on the EP. I actually cried after doing the vocal take you're hearing (the "make it through" scream in the mix wasn't planned.)

These songs deal with love, longing, and loss -- and this is definitely the one about loss.

I don’t speak Croatian. And I didn’t record this video myself.

An AI generated it using only 30 seconds of me just talking nonsense into my webcam.

I can now make my "digital twin" say anything, in any language...
