Gabe Kangas / is on Nostr

My name is Gabe and I'm here to say, I'm rockin' on the mic every two or three days.

I'm the maintainer and primary developer of #Owncast. I'm generally always happy to talk to you about the project, it means a lot to me.

I'm not on Mastodon, I'm on the Fediverse. So are you.

Yeah, I tried to do the same consent-driven approach to music videos as RFF is doing with audio, and it fell flat. Like five people submitted videos total. I was totally willing to go outside of the Fediverse, and reach out to indie artists as a whole. There is no lack of indie artists that have music videos, but it’s impossible to reach them, and even more impossible to get them interested enough to respond. I was disappointed that artists who want people to see their videos, and a place who wants to show them, couldn’t align.

I have to assume at this point if DHH is involved that something about it is awful.

I’ve been having a great time with my new @npub15f7…m7wr laptop. The flexibility is really unique. First I got to build the laptop myself with parts, and now I get it to be what I want it to be with regards to input and ports and such. I’ll probably swap out the screen bezel for a bolder color, though. The purple is not very purple. Worth the 6 month wait!

My heart goes out to xz. A single maintainer, who was clearly in a rough place with mental health, screaming out to the world for some help and additional contributions, and somebody shows up wanting to help. Could you imagine how happy that maintainer was? They were no longer alone.
And it turns out the only reason somebody wanted to help them was nefarious. I can’t imagine how they feel right now as everyone is blaming them. I hope they’re ok.
