The Fediverse has a Twitch-style live streaming and chat platform @owncast:
You can follow OwnCast accounts from Mastodon etc, streams will post in your timeline when going live. Some accounts to follow: https://fedi.directory/tag/owncast
You can use your Mastodon etc account to verify your identity in OwnCast streams' chat.
Anyone can make an OwnCast server, though at moment it requires some tech skill (more info at https://owncast.online/quickstart/).
In case you ever have embroidery problems I've archived this web page which has lots of helpful tips

Cruisin' for a Bruisin' ???
no....
Don you meant Sticklin for a Picklin????!?!??!
Just wanted to share this, these are my $15 monoprice headphones which I bought in ~2014. They have an 1/8th inch audio cable jack instead of an integrated cable. Both sides of the plastic structure have snapped and been repaired with superglue. The speaker cones inside the headphones have come loose and been repaired. The cable has been replaced.
Today I finally lay these headphones down to rest. I detached my Antlion Audio magnetic mic mount from them and re attached it to a new pair of headphones. RIP.

We should turn all cargo ships into sailboats again. Almost zero emissions plus having to wait a month for your amazon order would incentive local business.
But above all that: Just imagine the amazing look of that beasts.

nothing ruins my motivation to send fixes to your open source project more than to ask me to sign a CLA for it.
sorry guys I'm just not that interested in reviewing a legal contract just to improve your software for free

I've been trying to install Akkoma for three hours. https://gabekangas.com/blog/2022/06/ship-software-not-code/
Demo Day at layer zero is starting soon! just streaming some dashcam footage right now while we wait
Also, it goes without saying, but its ridiculous that if I want this capability, the only way to get it is to bootleg it like this.
Google finally achieved a technology that can transcribe spoken conversation, but they want to hoard it behind proprietary APIs and services. This bootleg is a small glimpse at what technology could be like if its goal was to provide utility instead of just make money: Accessibility technology that actually works!
Ok, ok, maybe that's a bit of a grandiose claim for something like this which is just barely demo-able and still has tons of difficult fundamental problems to overcome... But the point is, this capability would probably be commonplace already if it was open technology. The only reason this is remarkable is because I went through the effort to hack it together with DACs on both sides, special audio cables, android UI testing libraries, and heaps of good old-fashioned software duct-tape. And despite all that, it still out-performs the "Open" state of the art like "OpenAI" Whisper, while using 1/10th of the energy.
