@Mainebot I don't know what it does, to be honest. I only just found it.

@Mainebot I'm not sure at what point you think streaming was self-hosted. Webcam streams existed and keep existing but it's not the same thing--it's basically a slideshow with no sound. Right now streaming can only be done through large platforms like Twitch and Periscope.

Self-hosted livestreaming? https://antmedia.io/

@Torie :thaenkin:

@dansup Spicy, not sure about that one chief

@Pixley Nice

@Torie Did you know that time is not a straight line?

@Torie Okay but to be fair Ziltoid is weird on purpose

I am listening to Ziltoid together with @Torie

By GPU is breaking for real, by the way. Can't even watch videos now. So it progressively got worse over time, which suggests it's not merely a driver issue but the hardware giving up. I ordered a replacement, but it still hasn't been shipped.

Did Twitter change their design? It looks like mobile Twitter, but worse, somehow

(Pre-empting questions: Yes, I still use Twitter, exclusively for the MastodonProject account on Twitter to promote Mastodon)

@pbandkate Hi Kate!

@trini They have formatting, but they have a very limited set of formatting. Bold, italics, strike-through, and code blocks. Not even blockquotes, no inline images, no font tags, no headlines.

They're also oriented to programmers which is why the code blocks have syntax highlighting. Do you want me to put syntax highlighting into Mastodon too?

@trini Ah yes, I love to send multi-page manifestos with headlines and quotes to my friends in IRC. All communication channels are absolutely the same, there are no differences between how they are used and what they are used for

@trini It's almost like it's on a site dedicated to long and technical discussions

@murz @Animalmagic I read that as a murloc sound

This is nice.

@staticsafe It would have been if it was a high-profile PR. It was not. Look, even the most exciting PRs, usually nobody ever looks at. It's basically internal communications between regular contributors.

@staticsafe I went back and wrote a detailed response (2/2)

@staticsafe You know I follow you so you might as well tag me, no?

Thib and I work together for a long time and often communicate in private. My response was addressed to him, the only participant of the pull request at the time, and I do not think it was particularly disrespectful. It's not a new discussion and my position on it has been communicated before, it was simply a re-iteration.

Now that people have brigaded the post and completely misrepresented what the PR actually does, (1/2)
