Anyone with half a brain switched from antiwork to workreform after the moderation drama a couple of years ago. Doesn't surprise me that the remaining members are hard to displace

If there are non-TWG power consumers near the farm and other power producers nearer TWG, transmission loss is irrelevant - power is power

This matches my intuition and experience, but the people who really need to hear this have (rightly or wrongly) stopped trusting these statistics

Mine was a L440 so this tracks

Lenovo ThinkPads

I bought an old model in 2013 and it lived in my backpack through 7 years of school and university. It was dropped hard enough to permanently bend the heatsink, the disk drive cover snapped off, and it regularly overheated from throwing it in my bag without turning it off. It ran windows, dozens of Linux distros (up to 3 at once) and now it's a hackintosh for when I need a Mac. I'm confident I could buy spare parts and repair it myself if anything important broke.

I was trained on copyrighted material... I guess I should work for free

Do you want to host the videos on your own server? A quick Google search turned up https://datarhei.com/. I'm sure there are many, many other options.

Otherwise you need to host on someone else's server. Here's my advice:

1. Forget FOSS. What software your host runs is not important. The only lock-in is video discovery, and FOSS doesn't really help.
2. Someone is paying. Either you (e.g. Wistia), big tech + viewers (e.g. YouTube) or some poor volunteer/donor (PeerTube). You need to decide which is less problematic.

If you need a video "platform" where users organically discover your content... That's another question

Statistically... probably not. Variation year-on-year is almost certainly higher than average increase.

However, a particularly cold year sometime in the next decade may well take that trophy...

Valve openly suffers from the "zero billions" problem, which effectively blocks small, safe projects from getting off the ground.

They have enough cash to focus all their effort on moonshots, and in the long run it will serve them well.

Scrolling through the live streams, 90% is piracy and the rest is automated AI/nature/whatever streaming. Didn't see a single "twitch style" human steam.

Is owncast going to struggle with adoption more than other fediverse projects due to the inherent synchronicity of content creation and consumption?

Here's a slightly more subtle version:

An explorer leaves his camp and walks 1km south until his path is blocked by a huge bear. He makes a 90° turn to his left and sprints 1km east. After checking the bear is nowhere in sight, he turns another 90° to his left and walks 1km north, arriving back at his camp. What colour was the bear?

Polar bears could live elsewhere too - what's important is that no other kind of bear lives at the North pole

Almost every comment so far is just responding to the headline... It's actually a really well researched article - worth a read

So you're saying it's a stupid question to ask in "no stupid questions"?

Quite the opposite. If you fast forward merge without squashing, you lose the ability to meaningfully bisect, since only the head of each merge is checked by CI - other commits may not even build

Correlation or causation?

I use reaper now, but I have enjoyed the workflow of studio one in the past... tempting

I must be missing context, because this post is word salad to my brain

I've watched a fair few of these videos over the years. This one blows all the others out of the water, because it's the same fucking marble the whole way... Absolutely spectacular

Because it's smaller, right?
