I've started adding some of the accepted speakers on the website: not a complete list yet (still waiting for confirmation from others and there's more content from ourselves too), but it will give you a taste!

Every time I attend @fosdem I leave with a ton of ideas floating in my mind... Now I'll just have to find the time to implement them all 😂

There's so few music related talks at FOSDEM (hardly any at all?) that I definitely couldn't miss @marquisdegeek 's presentation for the world!

A positive New York Times review used to create overnight hits, while now it barely moves the needle. What has replaced them is, as Israel Daramola writes, “a loose collection of YouTubers and influencers who feed slop to their younger audiences, and obsessed fan communities. This has all helped produce a mass of music fans who don’t understand the value of criticism and outright detest being told the things they like might suck.”

It's alive! I've resurrected my iPod!

lminiero,
@lminiero@fosstodon.org avatar

@killyourfm that's amazing! My iPod classic is long gone, unfortunately, disk died... it's why I bought a Fiio X1 at the time (8 years ago maybe?), which recently died too though, so I'm on a HiFi Walker at the moment and loving it 😁

Good Monday to you all! We’re waking up to a 🥶 7 degrees F (-14 C) here in northwest .

@danyork and here I was complaining about the 3°C I woke up to myself 😂 In my defence, where I live anything below 15°C is considered freezing cold

This is the first screen of the English demo for Ghostbusters: the Adventure Game. Apparently an Italian team is asking for money (!) on KS for this crude AGS point and click title.
Not only the project doesn't have the rights (obviously) but also clearly doesn't have someone who speaks decent English and can help them.

lminiero,
@lminiero@fosstodon.org avatar

@damianogerli the aesthetics seem off too: it's supposedly a pixel art game, but there are resources that are rendered at a much higher resolution (e.g., the text in your previous screenshot, or the scaled characters in this one)

lminiero,
@lminiero@fosstodon.org avatar

@damianogerli to my knowledge, KS only gives the actual money if/once the project reaches the goal at the end, so maybe until that happens they technically didn't receive any money for this yet? But I realize that's semantics of course, and I'm not a lawyer 😄

lminiero,
@lminiero@fosstodon.org avatar

@damianogerli yep, I was checking the comments on their KS and there's the same responses about them working on it, and that was 20 days ago. Even if that's true, licensing discussions can last forever, so I don't see how they expected that to be done before the end of the campaign

One of the most exciting moments of my entire life... I finally got to meet in person Kazuhiko Nishi, the creator of the MSX, the home computer that as a kid completely changed me and got me into programming and computers. I wouldn't be the person and professional I am today without him and what he worked on!

PS: I spoke to him in Japanese (or tried to) and to be honest he didn't look very impressed 😂 But I was over the moon anyway just because I was there to do that!

@stux is the peertube.tv contact form working? I used it a couple of months ago for a video that I uploaded that was autoblocked pending moderation (and is still in the same situation), but never got a response. Thanks!

I tried a bit of Flashback 2 last night and... woof. Controls are not remappable and don't make sense (reloading the gun doesn't work unless you're USING it), there is no jump mechanic (you press A to interact with ledges), it runs terribly on my PC (where Assassin's Creed Mirage runs okay), some of the avatars look at least partially AI generated, animations are bugged, on Deck it just refuses to run decently.
Microids is on a streak of releasing games that are just not ready, huh?

@damianogerli I was afraid this would happen, and it did...

Some of our musically and audio inclined community members are considering a revival of the Jam SIG! The team would be focused on improving support for music and audio software on Fedora.

This is still a developing effort (no promises), but check it out if you're interested in contributing: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/making-music-on-fedora-interest-in-resuscitating-a-sig/95775

@fedora FWIW I've been using Fedora to write and record music for a few years, now, and I love it! Same desktop that I use for work and personal stuff, I use for music too. All SW I needed was either available out of the box as part of the main repos, or one external repo away (ycollet/audinux mostly)

It takes 12,000 plays on Spotify for a band to make the same as you buying one of their T-shirts.

@killyourfm in two years I've made 1.49$ on Spotify, that's not even enough for cheap underwear 😂

@fedora happy birthday! I've been a happy user since Fedora 4, which I installed for my master thesis when I was much younger 😂

"On June 24, 1993, Severe Tire Damage became the first band to livestream a concert on the internet.

The band subsequently began live streaming every Wednesday night. Viewers of the weekly streams could change the camera angle, adjust the audio mix, and even control a fog machine in the band’s basement."

(via https://neal.fun/internet-artifacts/)

THIRTY YEARS LATER and we still can't do that shit with livestreamed concerts. This band was WAY ahead of its time!

I did save this lil' guy from my basement today.
Also, it might seem this little guy is attacking some tiny steaks but they are - sadly - just printed.

@lminiero@fosstodon.org avatar

@damianogerli I had tiny scorpions often in my previous house: I rarely could save them, though, since I have three feral hunters (a.k.a. cats) that would most of the times just leave pieces of them scattered over the floor...

Every time the timer notification sound starts on my phone, I hear in my head an orchestra that never arrives. So I added it myself in this (very little serious) music video! I had to pass these summer vacations somehow, after all...
