Bad movie night starting with a #owncast #MST3K stream in 30 minutes at http://mcpubs.com:8081/
Movie still to be decided, but I'm leaning towards The Wild Wild World of Batwoman 😀

👀 matrix-based comment system
@priryo Yeah, annoying when they don't make them more available - don't see an RSS feed either? Can't add it to the #Glasgow #Lemmy podcast feed at https://lemmy.glasgow.social/c/podcasts

"I will slaughter you" - some emails penetrate even my thick open source maintainer skin. Like this threat.

if you want more hard-sci-fi unfiction by me, here's a slide deck for a university lecture from a world where physics works differently than us https://suricrasia.online/unfiction/CSC218-Software-Precognance.pdf

@gabek Fair enough! Just woke up and realised who I'm talking to, have you heard of owncast? ahem ☺️😜
@gabek I'd look into OBS, it supports all sorts of video/audio sources (including a programmable text interface) then stream it with owncast.

Matrix folks have some presentations on how this was done in the virtual events devroom here: https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/track/virtual_events/.

Anyone else attending fosdem virtually?
@M Yeah, they fixed it now (and apologised). It's like blocking firefox because you can get porn on it 🤪

It's #FOSDEM this weekend. All being held on #matrix (#fosdem:fosdem.org) - which is great to see.
I'm particularly interested in the #jitsi at scale talk (https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/jitsi_scaling/) as well as the massive communities in Matrix talk (https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/matrix_communities/)

@nolan
We need to make a "time machine" course on the history of web, starting with Mosaic and Netscape, gopher and IRC. Maybe including explanations on how the Archie and Veronica services worked.
What went wrong with the web, what went right, how people interacted then, the AOL CDs, the eternal September, the dotcom bubble, how the advertising businesses crept into the web until it became the web as we know it.
Kids don't know this. They hate the older generation simply because it's older instead of looking at our struggles - and yet they're more than happy to subscribe to Facebook pages, "buy" Spotify music and join discord channels.
They are falling into the capitalist trap.
