If you’re in the Bay Area the day after Thanksgiving, I’ll be performing a hybrid live DJ set at Underground SF in San Francisco for the Leftover Beats party. Watch me squeal and squelch some synths and lay down some drums while playing songs at you.

I don't know how much money PBS spends on building apps and managing their website. But I wonder what it would look like if instead of them building custom interfaces for every platform, they embraced IPTV standards and took advantage of existing applications and interfaces. People don't love PBS because of their engineering team and their apps. Unpopular opinion, I'm sure. But something to think about.
Trying to think of a plan B for the Owncast community chat if RocketChat deletes our account. I'm aware that I'll be ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MURDERED* if I don't use Matrix. But ughh. I might be a hypocrite because I say when people join the Fediverse it's no big deal that you need to learn about picking a server. But you're choosing to join the Fediverse, and it's on your own terms. If you're joining a support chat, it's usually not on your own terms, you're not joining because it's fun, and you're probably already pissed off. The last thing you want to tell somebody who just wants some help is "First, select a home server! Now select a client! Feel free to just use Element. What is Element? You use Element to use Matrix." I'm not saying it's hard. I'm just saying in this particular context I'm trying to be sensitive about the use case. *Seriously disemboweled.
