Head of the Late Night Linux Family of podcasts. I mostly get paid to talk to my friends about computers which is nice. It seems I was radicalised by basic decency.

Note to #fedi that #Catodon is being relaunched but is being built via #LLM because Panos believes being poor means he shouldn't be shamed for using a tool he acknowledges is extremely harmful. He also thinks that because airplanes are bad for the environment it's fine to use #AI

People need to be aware that the relaunched Catadon is both unsafe and unethical. Panos has also claimed that it's "elitist" to criticize LLM usage.

2 questions for all that read it:

Did you not post or reply much on previous social media? Specifically, out of concerns around data collection.

And if so, does that habit still influence how you post on the Fedi?

Just a reminder to anyone that's near the Raleigh North Carolina area on Feb 28th some of us are getting together downtown Raleigh for a meetup.

@eric@mastodon.eom.dev and I will be there. Hoping a few others can come and hang out. We don't have to stay where we are, but figured we could all just meet up there and meet folks that share our interests. 😊

Was anyone aware that OBS now offers "Enhanced Broadcasting" aka Multritrack Video? This offloads video transcoding to the person that is streaming their content and off of the servers themselves.

This is the single biggest cost of hosting a livestreaming server. If users are willing to use what's in their system we can make the bar to entry incredibly low.
