Twitch just added the "ability" for viewers to call a stream through a WebRTC voice pipe straight in the chat/dashboard interface.
It's on by default, any chatter can just push the button. The first time someone joins a stream post-launch they get a prompt to do so.
You cannot turn the feature off; you can only limit who can call you and you can torture out a null set in this, but it's not intuitive.
Partners have a checkbox to get blanket approval, if for some reason you're like "Yes, I want to leave the the door open for Summit to call me, Mx. 12 viewer retro streamer"
Once is a mistake, twice is deliberate action.
Was just made aware of The Base Mesh, a library of ready-to-use, UV-unwrapped models you can use in your 3D games, either as props or a starting point to model off of. All CC0, so you can use it however with or without credit.
I...am definitely going to making use of this in the near future!

Why yes I do like adding RNG patterns to my Phantoon fight where you spend time not dealing damage and guessing when they open up. yes totally not frustrating,
To be fair, understanding the patterns has increased my enjoyment of the Phantoon fight by like a good chunk, it’s quite exciting lmao

Having posted previously about having additional redundancy in social connections, I’ve taken it a step further by starting to grab copies of media that I like on the internet.
While I’d like to think the sites we use are resilient, too often I find that great artwork, stories, and videos disappear, never to be found again, and that’s kinda sad.
So what am I using for this effort? Right now, mostly right-click and save. For stories/articles, I found that using SingleFile is a great way to preserve a copy of the page (which if the page supports reader view, Firefox will let you use reader view on it!).
As for organising these files, I picked up filetags. It’s not the easiest thing to use but it’s forced me to think of what tags I would actually use, plus it has a pretty neat navigation view by invoking filetags --tagtrees --filebrowser none, so you can filter down just by going into folders.

I wrote a guide to help people in your situation. It's available for free online, with no ads or anything.
It's absolutely doable, but it will require a bit of work. Read on to learn more:

once again pissed off at censoring / sanitising language in subtitles. it's infantilising. I use subtitles all the time because of tinnitus and auditory processing issues, and I'll be damned if I want a bunch of handwringing prudish cunts fucking about with the language. censor ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in accessibility tools. I promise we're grown up enough to handle some swears and sex words, for shit's sake.
The #Zig programming language got a new mascot, her name is Carmen the Allocgator

I’m 100% behind their reasoning to get a third mascot : because it’s funny
I posted about it in January on my previous account, and now it’s official: the .internal TLD is now reserved for LANs internal DNS by ICANN, and they won’t accept applications to register it for the web
https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/08/dot_internal_ratified/
A reminder that using .local is bad practice because it’s used by mDNS/Bonjour who unfortunately appropriated it. It could cause issue with some appliances that rely on mDNS.
Nobody’s stopping you from using anything else, like .lan, but since .internal is now designated for that purpose you really should use it to be more or less guaranteed to avoid problems in the future
As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos. But the communal Mastodon alt text game is so strong that sweet, poetic or silly descriptions abound on my timeline. Thanks to legions of people who take time to write a meaningful description of the ephemera they post, i learn so much about insects, plants, buildings, memes — all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience. If you're wondering whether anybody reads these things: YES.
