re: corporate media vs. collective media
@Alyx on the collective side, I think the part where streaming costs a lot of money becomes a lot more foregrounded
see https://beesbuzz.biz/blog/636-Federated-video-streaming, frex
part of why I like the fediverse is because I know where the money for instance hosting is coming from: an admin thinking "I'm getting enough out of it to put in some of my own money" and a number of users, myself included, chucking metaphorical bills into the metaphorical honesty box to keep that "some" in manageable bounds
but for streaming that might be a lot of bills people have to chuck in the honesty box
corporate media vs. collective media
@packbat well lemme ask you, what's your general opinion about using corporate media
I mean, it's not like we _like_ YouTube
@packbat YouTube is a thing I guess, bleh. we're all still divided on whether to continue to try to use the corporate stuff
@SoniEx2@sleeping.town @chara_dreemurr@plural.cafe yeah there ya are, I dunno what's up
@SoniEx2@sleeping.town @chara_dreemurr@plural.cafe wait I can see you
@chara_dreemurr@plural.cafe @SoniEx2@sleeping.town yeah that definitely has my interest

instance block psa: new gab instance
please block both sinblr.com and cyzed.com
the sinblr admin has seen fit to set up a gab instance and is letting gab-types run about on there
other than the fact that the donate link on cyzed directs to sinblr, you can see that they're hosted by the same person here: http://archive.is/yDSV6

@joshua huh? what'd you mix
Twitter outage, fascist politics
@MiseryMyra I ran into someone saying that a bunch of Trump people are getting together right now to whinge about how social media is "biased" against them, and speculated that the Twitter management is forcibly preventing people from heckling them
oh yeah and nobody's answered this one yet

what FFXIV server are folks using
so, I guess one option to Twitch for general-purpose streaming is picarto.tv
that, at least, is the one I've heard the most about
anyone recommend any others
please?
@arielmt I'll say what Kara said on Twitter when she saw this: "what an appalling waste of human endeavour"

"Huh. It's almost as if taking life advice from a cartoon show extolling the values of behaving badly without consequence, for 20-some years, was somehow a bad idea..."

sexism in tech
disparaging comments about women in tech spaces always make us furious because /women founded computer science/.
go watch Hidden Figures. go read about Margaret Hamilton and Grace Hopper and Sophie Wilson. Come on.
