Starbucks has a new line of energy drinks. Decided to be brave and try the Tropical Energy. It's disgusting AF... That is all.

[prisma dove]

Thank you for your sacrifice

[wary holly]

I don't get this whole trend of energy drinks. A marginally more convenient way to sate one's caffeine addiction, but with so many side effects.

[silver fable]

In this case, the urge to hurl after only a few drinks.

[prisma dove]

if consumers want energy drinks, let them. The side effects will weed out the weak ones.

[silver fable]

If I really wanted caffeine, fast, I'd just swallow a caffeine pill with my back mouth.

[prisma dove]

hey now

[silver fable]

No, it's not recommended, and would probably kill me. 🤣

[wary holly]

I looked up caffeine sodium benzoate pills, they're prescription only ._.

[coral cairn]

Whoever thought of adding a button to mark chapters in obs is a legend. Just read and downloaded the beta!

my editing workflow about to speed up an unmeasurable amount

[civic quarry]

Rodney is indeed a legend

[smoky rapids]

On the above topic of energy drinks:

I was drinking 2 monsters every day for work.

With about maybe 5 or so I've had in the last month since I went cold turkey almost 2 months ago I'm actually feeling s bit better now.

[hybrid stream]

Do the good works my friends!

[prime sleet]

hello can someone please help me with showing my in game stats on twitch

[fleet ore]

Im enjoying OBS 💯

[cunning pine]

The only "energy" drink from Starbucks that I've ever had and also like is their double shot energy. I especially like the white chocolate

Cant remember the last time anything "exotic" tasted better than the non-exotic/tropic variant

[sweet anchor]

Don't mind tropic fruit juices, usually rounder/milder in their taste than straight up orange juice.

[civic quarry]

Good night everyone! ❤️ stay special!

[drowsy mason]

Super late reply, but yeah that's from OBS, lol. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/9d67bf2662158e7e652972576a4dd436a792d628/plugins/win-capture/graphics-hook/graphics-hook.c#L172

i think allmost all of these companies are going to go under

[jaunty fulcrum]

well yeah, that's why they keep raising prices

[marsh helm]

fubo is also not doing well

oh i guess paramount is near deaths door now https://cordcuttersnews.com/paramount-is-considering-selling-some-of-its-tv-stations-bet/

they have been trying to sell bet since last aug....

[full fern]

I've been waiting for some of these streaming sites to die off. Far too many subscriptions and too much exclusive content. Hopefully whatever emerges from the rubble will be better

[marsh helm]

they are all talking about selling their old ancient stuff

its going to mean theres going to be no new money in making anything new

[full fern]

Bummer, but I would be happy to see older content available online somewhere. Half the time when I search for a movie or TV show it's not available streaming anywhere

[marsh helm]

yeah they do that on purpose

[marble idol]

Hello, I am having a problem with Obs. I noticed that my voice was not clear while recording with the microphone. Can you help me????

[sharp crest]

You posted everywhere but the support channel for audio, you might want to go there instead

[marble idol]

can you help me bro?

[sterile flower]

June is over but may the pride theme stay for another half a year!

[sudden adder]

Go to the right support channel and dont cross post

[marsh helm]

last year it stayed around till aug!!

I would like to remind ppl that may 28th is world otter day

just saying

[hybrid stream]

We just got done with the weekend!

Good morning guys!

[jaunty fulcrum]

I wouldn't mind a longer one. Or a fresh one, starting now 🙂

[amber sparrow]

Amen

[terse helm]

same ngl

[rancid charm]

i made a video player in roblox that plays spritesheets and automatically calibrates audio to sync with the video cuz the audio is a completely seperate from the video player

[terse helm]

im ngl that video is exactly what I was expecting but I hoped fervently to be disappointed

[rancid charm]

epic

who posted invite links

[terse helm]

dum dums who get their accounts compromised

[rancid charm]

ye lol

[civic quarry]

If you would like to be buddies, please add me on Discord ❤️

[prisma dove]

my buddy roster is full for the current season. Maybe next season, during free agency.

[livid plover]

you could trade a buddy out for them

[prisma dove]

nah, too much trouble. and I'm bumping against the salary cap already. You know how these rookies get, wanting max contract with zero experience.

[amber sparrow]

This bee hive at a customer is kinda crazy

[livid plover]

Ruuuuuun

[sterile flower]

SKEDADDLE

AND THEN BURN THE HOUSE DOWN

[prisma dove]

aw hell no

[terse helm]

nah bees are cool

[karmic tiger]

if it's a beehive issok

[amber sparrow]

As long as you don't fuck with em, bees will leave you alone

[terse helm]

wasps can go fuck themselves though

[sterile flower]

Absolutely

[karmic tiger]

tbh even if it's yellowjackets or wasps, unless you go fuck with them they'll leave you alone

[amber sparrow]

But that thing def needs to beeeee relocated

[sterile flower]

Bees are alright but jeez that's a big hive

[karmic tiger]

nah, wasps are pretty chill actually as long as you don't bother them

[amber sparrow]

No. Wasps are evil aggressive assholes

[karmic tiger]

feed them a bit of jam or honey and you can pet them

[karmic tiger]

they are not

[amber sparrow]

They are

[karmic tiger]

wasps are absolutely not aggressive in the slightest if you don't fuck with them

[sterile flower]

You're lucky dude. The wasps in England are alright but when I went to France they were bigger and way more aggressive. And there were usually hornets around as well which were even bigger

[karmic tiger]

I am in france

[terse helm]

hi in france

[karmic tiger]

hornets are aggressive if you approach them. but wasps are chill if you're chill

I basically had a wasp nest as pets a summer

[sterile flower]

*dies from dad joke *

[karmic tiger]

they'd come in the morning for jam and pets

[sterile flower]

I've seen wasps going around murdering wasps and leaving their severed back ends lying around

[karmic tiger]

I mean, humans do that too and they're still pettable

[amber sparrow]

Wasps here are angry and will indeed fuck with you unprovoked

[karmic tiger]

skill issue

give them honey

[amber sparrow]

I'm not stopping to give random wasps I encounter working outdoors in various cities honey

If I was chilling at my house sure. But I visit lots of places in the course of a normal day

[karmic tiger]

L + ratio + no hymenoptera

[terse helm]

googles

… ok I thought that went a whole other direction

[sterile flower]

One time I was at a campsite in Valras-Plage and there was a big tree next to the caravan and you'd just hear war going on between the wasps and hornets up in that tree

[sterile flower]

Can confirm, got stung on the lip by one for no reason

[karmic tiger]

lmao, hymen means, roughly, a bond. and hymenoptera have wings that lock with each other when they fly, hence the name

[terse helm]

ah

[vernal current]

I found an "issue" with phones being able to be charged so fast now. A lot of programs need you to have the phone on the charger for at least 2 hours before they do back ups

technology for the win

i never understood this tbh

they should do it almost immidiatly

[open rune]

I feel like that should be on the apps rather than the phone being too good at charging

[vernal current]

yea it should be on the apps

[open rune]

Then again I don't think I back anything up from my phone

My contacts and text messages I guess

[vernal current]

its not just back ups

i cant remember now but there was some stuff on android that doesnt update or whatever unless its being charged for a while

[open rune]

It likes to do app updates while I sleep

And I sleep for more than 2 hours so it works out

[vernal current]

are you superhuman?

[open rune]

Yes I can sleep for 8 hours or even more sometimes

Evolutionary pinnacle

[vernal current]

damn

[open rune]

[terse helm]

weren't you the one who refuses to charge their phone while sleeping @vernal current

[vernal current]

you are misquoting me but yes

[opaque halo]

I'm with Sapiens - at least 8 hrs of sleep and I don't sleep in on weekends. Keeping the same sleep schedule has really improved my health and mental well being

[open rune]

Well let's not get crazy now I didn't say all of that
I said I was physically capable of sleeping 8 hours or more, that's totally different
Totally

[terse helm]

I would love to do that

[open rune]

[terse helm]

however my body seems to think days last 26 or 27 hours

so I'm constantly out-of-sync

[vernal current]

i said i dont like to leave my phone charging for a long time because the auto charging things doesnt work well for me

[karmic tiger]

I'm with Sapiens : The earth is flat

[terse helm]

yes that

and I think you're making that a way bigger problem than it really is

[vernal current]

im not making any issues, just an observation i made

[open rune]

This can only be settled with a duel

[vernal current]

who am i dueling?

[open rune]

SquidCharger

[vernal current]

why

[open rune]

I demand entertainment

[vernal current]

you have power over me?

[open rune]

That's what they tell me

[terse helm]

if you don't entertain him he bans you

[open rune]

Harsh but just

[terse helm]

and then we have to fill out a form decrying mod abuse

it's a whole thing takes a lot of effort

[open rune]

Hello and welcome to the Adeptus Administratum

[vernal current]

anyways im trying to make the auto charging thing on my phone work

trying to make it learn to top up around 7am

[open rune]

Doesn't it just go based on your alarm

[vernal current]

my sleep schedule is more or less "stable" now

[opaque halo]

Is the battle with weapons?? Need to know the rules of combat 🙂

[vernal current]

i dont think so

im pretty sure it "learns" your patterns

[open rune]

Whenever I have an alarm set for the morning and plug in my phone it says it's slow charging and will be done by <alarm time>

[vernal current]

so i have to keep waking up at the same time for it to know

oh you can definiintly set it manually

im just trying the "auto" thing

[open rune]

I only set my alarm manually, the rest just sort of happens or is the default behavior I guess? I don't recall configuring that

It just works

If I had to play Black & White with my phone I would be annoyed

[vernal current]

i am not sure, but i think the auto thing takes days into account as well. For example, it might top off at 7am on weekdays but 8am on weekends

stuff like that

[open rune]

Yeah I have separate alarms for work week and weekend lol

[vernal current]

i stopped setting the alaram on my clock about 6 years ago...found out i barely used it lol

[open rune]

It's really more of a "time to start hitting snooze" alarm

[sudden adder]

I finally found a nice alarm clock with an alarm that doesnt trigger my anxiety. A cheap bluetooth iHome smart speaker

And often i tend to wake up before it these days

[terse helm]

anxiety?

[vernal current]

im the kind of person that i either wake up or i dont...alaram rarely helps...so the alaram ended up annoying me because i would be up before the alarm

[opaque halo]

I have a Zen alarm clock that strikes a chime. Starts off nice and quiet and increases about every 30 seconds. None of that jarring sound to be woken up to

[karmic tiger]

due to ✨ fun stuff ✨ any phone ring sound is anxiety for me

[sudden adder]

Yep. Even the soothing ones on my phone feel shrill to me, especially when i am half asleep half awake

[terse helm]

ah

I used to loathe calling people on the phone

but never had much of a problem picking up

[vernal current]

i will never understand the people who insist on text only communication

[livid plover]

Easiere to multitask with text comms

[sudden adder]

I just dont occupy myself about it. To each their own

Every PC is different, lol

As is every person

[vernal current]

for sure, but i particularly hate it when they dont apply their own logic to theirselves

[karmic tiger]

incredibly more comfortable for me

either text, or face to face

[livid plover]

I forgot to enable my morning alarms today and just woke up as normal without the alarm

[karmic tiger]

but like I'm not gonna be bitchy about it, just I prefer it

[vernal current]

there is someone i know that i deal with for 10+ years and he likes to remind people not to call him

but he has no problem calling others lol

[sudden adder]

And that is fine

I dont have my phone so anyone can contact me when THEY feel like it. I have it so i can contact the rest of the world when I feel like it

[karmic tiger]

yeah, not impossible to have issues with getting called, but not with calling others

[vernal current]

i once called him (after not calling him for years and forgetting about his rules) and he didnt pick up but almost immidiatly messaged me back asking "whats up?"

then i remembered how he was like and was like "fuck that"

[open rune]

If he's responsive it seems like you still win
Doesn't seem like it causes any problems so who cares

Work on that empathy!

[vernal current]

he lost on an oppurtunity to speak at a conference

[sudden adder]

!ad how about no

[wise bay]

Self-advertisement or advertisement for others is not allowed on this server unless it's directly relevant to a discussion or question. Please read the rules in the #rules channel.

[open rune]

Speaking at a conference would be like a real life nightmare for some people

[vernal current]

considering he is a speaker and its his job, its not a nightmare

[open rune]

So how did he miss out on the opportunity?

[vernal current]

because he didnt pick up the call

[open rune]

lol and they didn't leave a message?

[vernal current]

they did

[open rune]

So he just didn't want to speak at the conference then or what

[vernal current]

i just asked someone else

no no no

he didnt return my call

so he had no idea why i even called

[open rune]

So he didn't check his voicemail

[vernal current]

no voicemail

speaking of voicemail...i started to use voice messages now

anyone do that? going by what i see here, probably no

[open rune]

Okay so up until this point everything seemed like a total non-issue but if you're going to be text-only you have to at least let the people whose calls you don't answer leave a message

I don't know what "I started using voice messages" means in this context

[vernal current]

i honestly dont know anyone who uses voicemail for the past 10+ years

[open rune]

Anyone with a phone and a job that relies on calling them?

[vernal current]

sometimes they are called voice notes

you have it in applications like whatsapp

[open rune]

Oh, like recording voice snippets and then making people sit there and listen to it instead of reading a message

Yeah I fucking HATE that

[prisma dove]

My wife and I tried voice messages, but the drawback is she can't always listen to them right away (at work), unlike glancing at the phone to read a text message.

[vernal current]

😂

I didn't like them at first, but then had to use them and got adjusted to it

but i try to keep them under 30 seconds

[open rune]

I just find it super inconvenient if it's more than a one off message

A conversation of voice bubbles is worthless

[vernal current]

oh not a conversation

more like i use it for a set of instructions

so its like 1-2 voice notes maximum

[karmic tiger]

horrid

hate that fkin shit

[open rune]

Instructions in an audio message instead of a few typed out steps also sounds terrible

[karmic tiger]

I can understand it if someone has to communicate smth quickly in a situation where they can't type

[open rune]

I guess it depends on what you're doing/conveying though

[karmic tiger]

but otherwise fuck no

[vernal current]

when the person you are communicating with cant read your langauge but can hear it and understand it fine, then you have to rely on messages

[open rune]

Another very important but late to arrive contextual detail :P

[vernal current]

😅

[sudden adder]

ADD 👏 CONTEXT 👏 PEOPLE

🙂

[vernal current]

i use it mostly with people who cant read the langauge

[open rune]

The use case I think of is opening a WhatsApp group chat to two pages of voice bubbles and wanting to throw my phone out the window

[vernal current]

nah i dont do that

[open rune]

Where it's just my friends recording rambling stupidity while driving

[vernal current]

i usually use voice note for work, not friends

and if i use it for friends it means im driving

anyways im gonna go for a walk

thank you sapiens for being a cool mod

[amber sparrow]

Worst

Mod

Ever

[open rune]

You probably like those voice messages too

[amber sparrow]

Nah

I despise them

Had a friend send me 2 dms in a row the other day that were voice messages

Wanted to throw my phone at him

[karmic tiger]

banned

[amber sparrow]

Don't threaten me with a good time

And some extra sanity

[sudden adder]

@prisma dove enjoying a local amber today.

[prisma dove]

oooo an amber ale, haven't had a decent one in a very long time.

[sudden adder]

This used to be their popular one until they released their Blood Orange Honey one

And i do NOT like the flavor of blood orange

[opaque halo]

oh.. I'll have to keep an eye out for that one

[oblique bobcat]

i need help with setting up a weather alert system for severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings

[opaque halo]

Within OBS?

[oblique bobcat]

yes

[opaque halo]

That would be through a 3rd party plugin. I'm not sure if the National Weather Service has something... they might, or do you already have a source for the alerts?

[tall vapor]

find a website that does that, and capture that into obs/put it into the browser source

[opaque halo]

Cookie got the easier solution 🙂

[oblique bobcat]

ok what was ur solution

[tall vapor]

.

and then clean it up with some css if needed, but that's abt it yeah

[prisma dove]

There are several websites that help you customize weather widgets and are easily used a browser sources.

[tall vapor]

yeah. Those widgets are meant to be embedded on your own website, but nothing stops you from putting them in obs

[oblique bobcat]

ok

[prisma dove]

METAR and TAF data.

Lots of airport and airplane-spotting live streamers use METAR data in overlays, lower thirds, etc.

[oblique bobcat]

ok

i stil couldnt find anything

[tall vapor]

aye, what I'm suggesting is pretty much exactly what they be doin

[prisma dove]

yep

although, for specific weather alerts and warnings, that may take an National Weather Service (if in USA) or whatever the region's official service is for alerts and warnings.

[opaque halo]

which is?? 🙂

You would have to edit the overlay itself. Check with the overlay provider. They usually provide instructions on how to do this.

Wonder when we can kick up the bitrate 🙂 https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/internet-speed-record-of-420000000-mbps-achieved-using-standard-optic-fibre-cabling-fast-enough-to-download-baldurs-gate-3-in-less-than-four-milliseconds/

[rancid charm]

i made my own video player in roblox. kinda hard but concept is simple. audio and video are completely seperate so i made a system that adjusts audio playbackspeed and video playbackspeed to make it match

[prisma dove]

Yes, you mentioned earlier today.

[rancid charm]

dont remember

[opaque halo]

Nope.

It's been years since I've edited an overlay. Check with the overlay provider.

#off-topic message

[rancid charm]

ok

but still something epic

[sudden adder]

in other news, super happy that I got my 3D printer (Ender 3 V2) upgraded and fully tuned. Finally getting to some larger prints bigger than a keychain fob, lol

[rancid charm]

and roblox has alot of systems to prevent people from making custom videos so it was like smuggling spritesheets in

[prisma dove]

Anything notable yet?

[rancid charm]

do the walker thingy from star wars

its called the AT-AT i think

[sudden adder]

Keychain Fobs

• Hazbin Hotel keyfob (looks like an old, diamond shaped, hotel fob)
• Flex Capacitor
• Fallout 4 logo
• Stargate Cartouche with the address of Earth
• DOOM Logo
• SteamDeck (yes, a keychain fob of a whole (scaled down) steamdeck)
• Aperature Science logo
• NES controller
• Sagitarrius symbol

[prisma dove]

NES controller, nice

[sudden adder]

Drink Coasters

• Nuclear Symbol
• Sea of Thieves coaster with skulls
• "Beer" coaster (just says BEER on it)
• Star Gate coaster (also has a holder that looks like the steps and platform)

now i am printing a drink-holder, dice roller mug with coaster

its gonna take a day and a half to print

[livid plover]

3d printers nice

[sudden adder]

this is what is printing right now

just different designs on it

having trouble find the specific one on Thingiverse

[prisma dove]

interesting dual purpose

[sudden adder]

yee, and its a nice large project to attempt

nothing fancy material-wise, just basic gray PLA

[livid plover]

hope the inside roof slopes within your overhang angle capability, or it's a bit sucky to have support inside there

[sudden adder]

i looked at how the overhangs and supports were handled in Cura before saving out the file, and the tree-supports look pretty easy to deal with

[livid plover]

cool

[sudden adder]

i tend to go with the tree-based ones more than standard

i tend to not break apart the trees as much, and they just kinda look cool

[livid plover]

yeah they're pretty great if you need them, but i try to design within the overhang capability of mine

[sudden adder]

i need to make a forest of overhang supports

[livid plover]

i split this in 2 so both sides print face down, otherwise you got that gnarly look inside or the supports were awful to get out

[sudden adder]

yeah, im slowly learning the different tricks with printer management. once i get into making my own models, those are going to be the types of optimizations ill be looking at

[livid plover]

i'm educated within subtractive manufacturing(CNC machining), but the CAD is the same for parts, so got a good head start there

[sudden adder]

whereas i made ALL the rookie mistakes with this printer when I first got it

(didnt know the bowden tube needed to be butt up against the hot-end nozzle)

[livid plover]

i started on a direct-drive extruder printer luckily, the entire bowden arrangement seems awful

[sudden adder]

its not bad, and both have their positives and negatives, i did look into that

i did swap out my extruder with a dual drive one

had to raise my eStep value from the default of 93 to like 410

because before I did that i was asking myself "why is this thing barely pissing out plastic?"

but everything seems to be level, tightened up and running well now

im hitting up different resale shops in the area looking for an old CRT TV cabinet to retro-fit and use as a 3D printer enclosure

[livid plover]

haha, nice idea

[sudden adder]

and knowing the places up here, i can probably get one for the same price as 1 or 2 IKEA Lack tables

[livid plover]

mine's a CR-10 so a bit too tall for that

[sudden adder]

my plan is to paint the inside white, add a vent on the side with a PC-style magnetic filter on the outside, and a few PC fans on the inside.

I -may- have the fans blow over the print bed to help keep dust away, but im not sure how that would effect the bed temps. Will need to test before setting things up in a final position.

Then have fans blowing toward the top and out maybe.

Regardless of fans, i would LED up the inside, set up a camera, move the control panel external to the cabinet, etc.

All of this is based on finding a good cabinet first though, lol

i ALMOST had a good one, but it wasnt deep enough, and honestly it was just too good of a cabinet, i wouldnt have wanted to drill or cut into it

[sudden adder]

man, if there is one thing i miss from Coda on the Mac (web dev software) that isnt in VSCode or an extension of it; The Books panel that had an integrated browser for going to different programming documentation

i dont know why a speed-dial extension in my browser doesnt feel the same 😦

probably because i have to leave the editor :/ ah well

[tall vapor]

I mean it makes sense, I tried mac for a bit back in the day and multitasking/multiwindowing funct was like.....atrocious

dunno if that's still the case these days, but it wouldn't surprise me

[sudden adder]

i was fine with MacOS, but I had been using it since OS 6 or 7, so i got used to the visual and technical language of the platform before I even used Windows

[tall vapor]

fair

but ye, window management&such seems to still be a pain point there

hence me sayin that it makes sense for there to be things inbuilt into an application cause application switchin be painful 😅

[sudden adder]

yee

gimme Delicious Library for my programming websites

ALL OF THEM

[tall vapor]

I think that has more to do with the death of skeuomorphism

[sudden adder]

still saddens me

[tall vapor]

I don't mind honestly

I mean yeah, some modern design concepts do indeed be atrocious imho

just look at win 11

[sudden adder]

the overall "lots of whitespace" and negative space designs really grind on me, because i lose track of what app i am using at times

[tall vapor]

I mean there be reasons as for why I'm so fond of kde plasma, many many reasons in fact. This be def one of them. pretty much everything me computer shows me actually has a use and isn't just blank space that is there because geometry worked out like that

which also makes it very nice to use on low res / small screen devices like me thinkpad x220, funnily enough

[sudden adder]

I use Plasma here on my linux systems 🙂 i keep testing out the other window managers, but just cannot get into them. But that also says the type of PC user I am to some degree and how I use them

[sudden adder]

i kinda count Twitter/X and BlueSky in that category (negative space), and they look like carbon copies of eachother (i mean, they are, but i think it would have been funny had BlueSky went with the original Twitter design from like 2005, or a modern-take of it)

[tall vapor]

me plasma does have it's unix-y quirks, of course. But those I have where it makes sense to me and not just because 😅

overall pretty damn classical still, tho. There's a reason as for why that has stayed pretty much the same for eons by now

[sudden adder]

i dont use the plasma widgets enough. Just the ones for the panels/bars, but rarely any on the desktop proper

[tall vapor]

desktop widgets? Yeah, I don't really use em either. In panel? cool. But since I never really get to see me desktop anyway.....

[sudden adder]

true lol

[tall vapor]

good thing that desktop widgets&the one you can put in le panel aren't separate

cause that would be, well, silly

stares win vista&7 cause they used to have widgets

[terse helm]

OSX used to have widgets

I used them all the time

mostly the clocks and sticky notes

[tall vapor]

clock I prefer to have in panel, and sticky notes.... I never got used to them. I just use a bunch of textfiles

lol

[sudden adder]

the Dashboard ones on the left side

i DID use those a lot

[terse helm]

I had them overlaid

I never liked having them as a separate desktop

[sudden adder]

i want to say they started out as an app

Konfabulator, before Apple did their own, as Apple does

[terse helm]

that sounds familiar

sherlocked

[tall vapor]

yet they still haven't invented their own actually workable window management

[sudden adder]

I cant even manage the windows in my own house, damn birds fly into em lol

[tall vapor]

Window snapping? Apple be seethin

why'd you ever want to use more than one application at a time?

[terse helm]

fun fact osx windows have snapped to other windows for ever

[tall vapor]

last time I used a mac was back when spotlight just got introduced

[terse helm]

if only we had Mac OS X Kraken

[steep kite]

hey sherlock

[tall vapor]

okay but the window management still mustnt be all that great otherwise there wouldn't still be window management apps that add, like, basic ass functionality

[terse helm]

meh

first off apple has to cater to absolutely everyone including people who don't understand shit

[sudden adder]

what did Sherlock basically replace again?

[terse helm]

secondly not having everything and the kitchen sink baked in like that enables independent developers to make apps instead

watson?

[sudden adder]

... it had to have been that simple for me to forget it

I remember SoundJam though

[terse helm]

too

took me a moment ngl

[tall vapor]

not exactly expecting for them to include an automatic tiling window manager 😅

[terse helm]

oh yeah but apple bought soundjam and turned it into iTunes

[sterile flower]

Elementary, my dear Watson

[terse helm]

so not quite the same as sherlock vs watson

Can I make a Windows version called Moriarty?

[sudden adder]

i think i found something to watch during my travels, a show called clipped

i am already aware of the story and they even literally tell you what happens in the first few seconds, but i guess the behind the scenes and stuff will be interesting

also racists fascinate me. How can you hate black people when part of your job is literally being surrounded by them lol

So WB stands for “wholesale bargains” now?

And it still may not be worth it

[carmine ibex]

most people say $20-30 is worth it

but that's only if you love the franchise and type of gameplay

You could buy Darktide with that money

@silver fable wasn't a dig at you

[sudden adder]

In regards to WS, a good use for display cap: capturing photoshop and all of its tool pallets that window capture wont grab

[smoky rapids]

Only good use

[silver fable]

Oh, 100%, Rob. Anything with child windows, as well. Even some games that I played back in the day that had child windows.

I remember there was one game... I cannot, for the life of me, remember it's name, but in it, your character used surveilance cameras. When you opened a camera, it opened a new window, and it wasn't part of the main window. Neither Game Capture, or Window Capture, would work with it.

[sudden adder]

There was a twin stick shooter i played recently that used multiple windows for its gameplay

[copper pasture]

I use display capture

It’s fine if it’s within your use case

[sudden adder]

basically, Display Capture is useful when the other two capture methods just wont work logistically

[copper pasture]

Most people are better off not using it unless you know you need it

Or want to specifically capture the whole display for what you’re trying to do

Also if you use display capture you need to be pretty cognizant of what you’re doing and what not to show

[sudden adder]

yupp

[copper pasture]

Can’t just alt tab and do a bunch of stuff that people shouldn’t see

[karmic tiger]

show your bank info to stream, you won't regret showing your bank info to stream

[smoky rapids]

That actually happened Sunday night while someone I watch was doing a rescheduled D&D session.

Granted it was the chrome password manager but at least there were ******** out the ass.

[copper pasture]

I use display capture but I don’t recommend it unless you know what you’re doing. Also a good reason to think twice about doing a 2 pc setup

[sudden adder]

this is where a secondary, personal account, on the PC you stream from can be useful

[copper pasture]

Yes absolutely

Anyone remember the streamer who had watched ai generated porn of another streamer? Aside from how messed up that was I was utterly shocked he was just casually looking up porn on his streaming computer and not even on another account

Off stream that is but in a way that, obviously, put him at risk of giving it away later when streaming

[hearty stirrup]

game -> window -> display is our general recommendation order unless it's a paint (photoshop/illustrator), video editing (premiere, vegas, resolve) or 3d rendering program (blender, 3ds max)

at the local park / playground burning the back of your legs on the metal slide or puking after a ride on the merry-go-round

[compact lark]

my local park didn't use mulch or sand, they used pea gravel, so you could throw it on the slide and slide down the flesh melting slide even faster

[opaque halo]

That's just soo wrong 🙂

[tall vapor]

I mean the slide already be the "butt burner 9000" model, soo

[compact lark]

imagine your body as a stone block, and pea gravel as the wooden logs.. they'll reduce friction and rotate as you float across them

[pulsar flame]

Wait I have an idea
If I bind the recording pause/unpause to the same button, will it pause/unpause extremely fast or just pause when I hit it once then unpause the next time I hit it?

[smoky rapids]

It's a toggle.

So press to switch each time.

[marsh helm]

anyone got tests of OBS on those snapdragons?

[jaunty fulcrum]

depends, you can only really test the x64 build at the moment

so it'd be under emulation

unless you want to try that unofficial ARM 27.x OBS build from ages back
(I wouldn't even know where to find a download)

[marsh helm]

i heard it has far better direct x emulation

vs intels

when it works that is

and apps that it does emulate do work okay

i dont know what encoders it has

[jaunty fulcrum]

as in direct x pre-11 on dx12?

and in terms of encoders, that depends on what encoders OBS supports.. so on snapdragon, you're looking at... x264 I guess? as it's CPU-based

[terse helm]

not on a snapdragon but I tried obs in a Windows VM on an Apple M3 and it worked perfectly

[reef summit]

^probably still the fastest Windows on ARM machine out there :p

[jaunty fulcrum]

certainly possible

[copper pasture]

Is OBS getting an ARM native build now that Windows on ARM is becoming more of a thing again?

ARM native Windows I mean

But yeah, on my M1 I've been using Windows 11 ARM and it's kinda incredible how well it works, including totally foolproof support for some very old software written decades ago

[marsh helm]

if you had a cheap gpu added on

it could be an okay ssetup

$300 goes to my mom to pay her back a little bit for some stuff

Then $110 is gonna come out for car insurance soon

Then $100 of it going to be "forgotten about" so it sits there like a cushion.

Another $150 is supposed to go into savings.

That leaves me $40

But I get paid weekly. So the $40 needs to last until next week then I'll get paid again

Sounds expensive.

[prisma dove]

All I got going are some ribeye steaks and oysters.

What you doing with 20lbs of meat, selling it

[brazen thunder]

That has to be his birthday or something, right?

[amber sparrow]

IRLs coming down for the weekend. They've been DYING for some of my smoked meats

And fortunately the ribs were buy one get one so not stupid expensive

[sweet anchor]

Oh right, what's the decade one then? 😐

[gray cypress]

gay nt good

[sweet anchor]

Guess it's still an anniversary, just a "aluminum/tin" one. Ah well, the more you know.

[jaunty fulcrum]

just slap a bigger sticker on it

[sweet anchor]

Increase the metal rarity/value.

[jaunty fulcrum]

spread the love more aggressively

[sweet anchor]

Jeez, OAK

[jaunty fulcrum]

takes 80 years to get wood?

[silver fable]

Let's be honest, if you live to your 80th anniversary, that's probably the only wood you'll be able to get.

[sweet anchor]

I love how you go through all the gems and rare metals.

Only to be slapped by OAK

OBS has had its 3rd Fruity anniversary

[jaunty fulcrum]

maybe instead of metals we should go with fruits!

[sweet anchor]

I've got no idea what would even be perceived as a more prestige fruit.

[jaunty fulcrum]

you'd go from least juiciest to most? 🤔

[sweet anchor]

I don't know, all I know is strawberry #1

Doubt I could even mention 25 fruits tbh.

yougov consumer ratings for US

[livid plover]

Fame rating lol

[terse helm]

What is the most prestigious fruit though

[sweet anchor]

Strawberries, clearly

[copper notch]

My #1 would be cherries. Any kind of cherries. All the cherries.

Berries, mango, pineapple are all up there though too. Especially on pizza!

[jaunty fulcrum]

I would confirm cherries are up there. As is mango.

[opaque halo]

Miss the mango and papaya trees we had living in Hawaii. Used to make some amazing mango salsa for the grilled fish 🙂

[uneven sluice]

When I visited my family in Mexico, my aunt asked me and my brother a question in Spanish. I looked at her blankly. She asked in English "you don't speak Spanish?"
"Dad never taught us"
She throws this look at my dad, her younger brother, and it was one of two or three times in my life I can remember him being scared

Her husband steps in and takes me and my brother out back, where he hacks a mango straight off the branch and cuts it up for us. Best goddamn mango I've ever had in my life

Meanwhile my dad's getting dressed down loudly in very angry, very fast spanish

id be enjoying dragonfruit more if they werent so expensive around here

Never had dragonfruit, what's it like?

[sudden adder]

i prefer the white over the red, mostly because the red stains quite a bit.

the white is like a mild melon flavor to me.

[sweet anchor]

Since I was a kid, and the neighbours toddler lost some of her vision when a piece of rock flew through her protective eye glasses due to fireworks going off - I've had little lust for handling or being near explosives if I can avoid it.

Definitely chill & steak over colors. But I still watch them from the safety of double layers of glass windows every year

[opaque halo]

I don't mind the public fireworks displays that are done by towns / cities. It's when people decided to set off fireworks in close neighborhoods that injuries happen - along with scaring the crap out of the pets. I have PTSD and tonight (as well as New Years) I put in my earbuds and listen to music to drown out the sounds.

[sweet anchor]

Yea 4th isnt a thing here - so we only have to deal with New Years - and the eventual football match we win where people decide they wanna break the law.

Thankfully our national team sucks, so that's a rare occasion.

[opaque halo]

One of the downfalls of the state I live in. Only "grounded" fireworks are allowed but we live close enough to the stateline where people will go to get the aerial ones and shoot stuff off all night.

[smoky rapids]

Can't be as bad as ours

[vernal current]

so i need to download something to watch and the best options i have found so far are the bear and the acolyte..

i have no idea what the bear is about except that it is something with food

and acolyte is well...recent star wars stuff is bad

i have a feeling i will like the bear more

but not sure how much it is drama/comedy

[amber sparrow]

The bear may be the best tv series released in the last 10 years imho

[civic quarry]

i have tried to watch that show 3 times now

[amber sparrow]

Sounds like a skill(or lack thereof) issue

[open rune]

I've gotta watch it more often

[sterile flower]

Do you guys get a day off for July 4th? Like a bank holiday or something?

Meanwhile in Britain it's just another Thursday and you guys in the US are partying and having firework displays. I'm jealous lol

[full fern]

Yes, basically. An awful lot of workers don't get the day off tho

[sterile flower]

God forbid employers allow their workers to have lives and celebrate things

[opaque halo]

Some employers have given tomorrow off as well. I'll be working 🙂

[sterile flower]

A day to recover from the parties I guess lol

[silver fable]

I don't work today, but I get paid for eight hours of it.

Of course, it's my normal day off anyways. If I did work, I'd get the eight hours of pay, plus all the time in my shift would be paid at 150%.

Also, which should I start, if I've watched neither? The Wire or The Shield?

[amber sparrow]

Both simultaneously

Tho I personally like the shield better

[full fern]

They both have a lot of dramatic tension. I've watched all of The Wire and love it. Would be willing to watch again anytime. I only saw sporadic episodes of The Shield but it was great

[hybrid stream]

[amber sparrow]

Our neighborhood had been going ham on fireworks for the last 2 hours

This is our 8th year in this town, and for some reason, this year seems like the last 7 combined in firework volume

[full fern]

When I lived in the city, every year for a two to three week period there were fireworks going off every night. And it was illegal, but we were always told police consider it the lowest enforcement priority. It was kinda torture for me and the cat. I'm glad they're illegal and enforced out here in the boonies. National forest takes this shit seriously

[civic quarry]

heh, it was worse when they were illegal here....legalization was the (partial) solution as in the case for many things.

Already planning on throwing a rack or 2 in oven when I need to wrap em in 3 hours

[amber sparrow]

Probably won't be any left by then 😦

[opaque halo]

2nd batch then??

[amber sparrow]

They aren't bogo any more 😦 but if you are making the trek I suppose it can be arranged

When I do make that trip, I'll be sure to bring some of NC's best ribs 🙂

I moved back to making steaks now

i think i perfected it

friend said its better than resturants who specialize in steaks

only issue is that it is quite expensive to make xD

making 1 steak is roughly $50

[amber sparrow]

Didn't realize 20lbs of ribs was a low amount 😦

[sweet anchor]

Define this for me please.

[dim raptor]

Just keep it as is, it looks timeless

back in the day, if something could show images in color, the manufacturer would be sure to let you know at least half a dozen times, now a days b/w is a feature

[dim raptor]

Please tell me you can record on betacam

[jaunty fulcrum]

You can certainly try

[dim raptor]

we all know this is the true dual monitor setup

ofc ya can, ya just need to connect your computer to the recorder and there we go

[tall vapor]

wait.... aren't those the b/w CRTs with a colour lcd filter in front? Or is the one I'm thinking of the later model

[dim raptor]

No, this is a trinitron

[tall vapor]

okay yeah, the one I'm thinking of is the later model cause those be trinitrons

Was just memeing on you, that it is there, in the picture 🙂

[amber sparrow]

Buy me either a bigger smoker or a 2nd Traeger. Then I'll smoke some meat for you

[sweet anchor]

I'm just anxiously sitting here waiting for Naar to post his 25kg rib smoking.

[vernal current]

you use traeger? get oklahoma joes

[sweet anchor]

That's like, a kilo at max.

Where's the rest

[vernal current]

in my belly

[sweet anchor]

Ah, you ate 24kg of meat, about 1 third of your body weight? That's hella impressive must say.

[vernal current]

its actually 6kg

or was it 5

[sweet anchor]

I think we need a banana for scale there champ.

[amber sparrow]

Traeger better(especially since was free)

[sweet anchor]

Quality per $ goes up when it's free.

Infinitely, even.

[amber sparrow]

1000% hahaha

[vernal current]

do you know oklahoma joe?

[amber sparrow]

Yea

[vernal current]

ok

[amber sparrow]

They have them here in home depot I think(maybe lowes, don't remember which one)

They are usually less than Traeger on cost

[vernal current]

really? I thought they were more expensive

[amber sparrow]

Nah

Traeger is the better name brand here

[civic quarry]

i think it is generally agreed that traeger is better

[amber sparrow]

Oklahoma Joe's has some nice models though

Several have some really good bluetooth control

[vernal current]

.>

[amber sparrow]

They also have some good smoker/grill combo units

[prisma dove]

I prefer the Traeger's wifi connection, so I can monitor in it from anywhere.

[amber sparrow]

I don't have any fancy remote control on my current one

But I do think OJ has wifi control too

[vernal current]

i dont have fancy anything

i cook like a man

with nature

[prisma dove]

That's what my Weber's for, charcoal and wood grilling. Traeger is for smoking and full meal/volume cooking.

[vernal current]

For quick stuff I will use my blackstone

for things like smoking I will use joes

both manual

I have been in love with my blackstone

ive been able to cook so many things so much better now

[sweet anchor]

Wifi controlled grills, this is the most american conversation I've seen in OBS discord in a while.

[amber sparrow]

Manually controlled heat is over rated

Sure a smoker that handles temp 100% on its own is cheating, but I don't have the patience to fuck with making tweaks

I just want my meat done right

[civic quarry]

if this is a strictly american concept than i am proud of my country today

[amber sparrow]

I'd agree(though I don't think it's an American only concept, just a "outside of lindenkrons bubble" concept)

BTW all 5 racks wrapped and made it in smoker. I do think bone was right and I could have fit a 6th

For something like a smoker where it's running for many hours and might need only slight adjustments it seems kinda smart

[amber sparrow]

^accurate

Like an 18 hour brisket

[open rune]

If you were just throwing hotdogs on there for a few minutes then yeah that's silly

But the "I have to get up at 4am to start the smoker" crowd could probably appreciate it lol

[amber sparrow]

I have been that "up at 4" more times than I'm happy with ha

[vernal current]

one time i had some party at night and was making a roast and during the day i had meetings and went back and forth between my house and meetings xD

i didnt mind

but was hectic

and put hair on my chest

[open rune]

I would be too nervous to leave more than a crock pot running while I was at work

[vernal current]

well i knew i had a couple of hours between 2 meetings

i wouldnt have done it otherwise

btw today i started replaying the zelda oracle games and my god they give such a cozy feeling

the gameboy zelda's all have that cozy feeling

[brazen thunder]

[amber sparrow]

Half have been demolished already. Literally falling off the bone

[copper notch]

WHY?????

[amber sparrow]

Why what? Were you not invited? Head on down

[livid plover]

man's gotta eat

[copper notch]

Just winding down for bed and now I'm frothing at the mouth craving LOL

It just made me come up with what might be the best idea ever

[opaque imp]

Lookssss soooo gooood!!!!!

[copper notch]

bacon wrapped ribs

maple smoked bacon wrapped baby back ribs

[sweet anchor]

Glad you're having an awesome time with ribs

[civic quarry]

didnt this discord have a self promo channel once. wth

[livid plover]

nawh

[copper notch]

Not in the time I've been here (since 2017)

TBH though, I think promo channels on Discord servers are totally useless, because they are basically low quality spam that nobody wants to look at and probably most people mute them. Then 1-10 people are the only people that use them, and post low quality drops like just a link to their stream with no message, or a poor quality message telling people what they can do for the streamer, rather than what the streamer can do for the viewer. Like "GOing live, come help me get a million followers" rather than "I will be entertaining you tonight with A, B and C, it will be an exciting show!". I think self promo channels give people the false impression that they will somehow grow by posting in them, when in reality they will see very little to no uplift at all. It's much better for people to watch tutorials on YouTube on how to properly promote themselves on a given platform, and put in more effort than just dumping links in a channel nobody reads.

[amber sparrow]

It's prob just my friends being nice, but they have been racing over how good they are

And the smoked cream cheese is really good too

[sweet anchor]

I doubt you of all people went wrong with the ribs that are falling off the bones

[hearty stirrup]

negative

[amber sparrow]

Fax.id throw them in the garbage before letting people eat bad food

[sweet anchor]

Mah man.

[brazen thunder]

[distant forge]

[sweet anchor]

[sweet anchor]

https://obsproject.com/kb/post-production-tools Look at this list for alternatives.

[sweet anchor]

When it's illegal activity, yes it is.

[distant forge]

ight

[amber sparrow]

DO IT!!!!!!

Smoker is the 2nd greatest piece of cookware we have. Air fryer is the best

[brazen thunder]

I just started looking around. Looks like I can get a used traeger for like $200-$300

[vernal current]

I am relaunching a website in a few days and found out a few things missing/out of place

nothing crititcal or serious and stuff that can be fixed in a day or 2

but man...its so stressful before launch

you always find these small things

[vernal current]

how many people?

[amber sparrow]

7 adults, 3 kids

[opaque halo]

What "sides" you serving that meat with? If you don't have homemade mac & cheese - you need to rethink your life.

and if you were REALLY good.. you'd do smoked mac & cheese 🙂

[amber sparrow]

No mac n cheese. But we had tater salad,macaroni salad, Cesar salad, smoked cream cheese, Buffalo chicken dip, Mississippi pot roast meatballs, street corn dip and some other stuffs

[opaque halo]

ok.. made up for it with the smoked cream cheese, mac salad and street corn.

[hybrid stream]

TGIF!!

[marsh helm]

is that with the dr pepper or cola?

[amber sparrow]

Cola which turns out doesn't work as well as Dr pepper

Caused some extra caramelization that caused meat.to stick to foil a bit

[marsh helm]

i see

[amber sparrow]

Still turned out really damn good but a little extra work

[marsh helm]

we made some shish kebab

lemon chicken

i would like to make more ribs tho

its cheap here

[amber sparrow]

Chicken is OK. But I'm a big fan of red.meat and pork

[marsh helm]

pork ribs

[amber sparrow]

We wait til ribs are buy one get one free

[marsh helm]

ooh did you see what i posted about amazons

[amber sparrow]

Then stock up a bit

[marsh helm]

sat internet?

[amber sparrow]

Nope

[marsh helm]

tthey launching it this winter

[amber sparrow]

Ill.have fiber soon so F satellite internet

[marsh helm]

oh woo

[amber sparrow]

Fiber >>>[

[marsh helm]

i got cable

it seems stable

but i think my gpu is dying tho

videos randomly become pink

in firefox

and on chrome my whole browser pixelates

[amber sparrow]

F in chat

[cunning pine]

Nice

Fiber is good

[marsh helm]

i pay that much for 400 down

15 up

as theres no fiber here

theres little to no fiber anywhere tho

uts a smol city

[vast coyote]

hi

[cunning pine]

Glorp

@marsh helm as it stands, having an that speed only does on thing for me and it's just that it allows me to not wait as long for stuff to download and I don't have to plan ahead for downloading something and can instead do it on the spot cuz it won't take long.

400 down is really good too.

What's more important really is the ping.

[sudden adder]

city of about 4000 folks here, we just got fiber in the area this year. Gig up and down for about $80 a month. Local power company lighting everyone up in more ways than one 🙂 @marsh helm

[opaque halo]

Nice - I'm paying about $85 for 500 down and 25 up

Very rural community - the "city" has about 17K people

Brightspeed is available with 1GBps up and down but their support is bad from reviews I've seen.

[full fern]

We're paying around 60 for 250 down 15 up. Population of less than 500. I consider myself very lucky we have cable internet at all

[full fern]

I'm so excited for you!!

[cunning pine]

I was paying $85 but I called customer care and dude got me the pricing for new customers that's advertised on the site

I started with about $65 to $70 originally lol. But over time it crept up

I only just recently stopped being lazy about it

[amber sparrow]

Once they run lines to this side of street I'll be paying $65 for 900/900

[cunning pine]

I am realistically only getting about 900 out of my gig on average lol

[cunning pine]

Is it with frontier?

[full fern]

Xfinity crept ours up like that and for years we would call once a year to complain and get the new customer pricing.

It was always "taxes and other fees" they changed. I told em I want to set my autopay for a specific amount and have it stay there dangit

[cunning pine]

Yeah, my ISP doesn't do none of that lol. They just raise the actual internet price cuz the promotional discount has ended

They aren't being scumbags about it, just being like "this is what it costs without the promotion"

[marsh helm]

i dont really need fiber

ooh

across the street they have fiber

just not here

Quantum Fiber

https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/home

wait

@amber sparrowthey are century link O_O

usually

Charges before work begins

[amber sparrow]

Quantum/lumen

[cunning pine]

Hmm, never heard of them. They must be exclusive to the East

[amber sparrow]

Nah they are nationwide

[cunning pine]

Pfft, they aren't over here

[marsh helm]

quantum is north westy

check that webiste

fcc

[cunning pine]

Oh so like Washington where nobody matters?

[amber sparrow]

Lumen is a pretty big commercial build out with quantum being the residential sector

[cunning pine]

[marsh helm]

us otters matter!

[cunning pine]

I had considered moving to Washington at one point

[marsh helm]

i like it here

where i live you dont really need a car

[cunning pine]

As long as you are aren't in or right next to Seattle it's fine

[marsh helm]

and theres not 14000 homeless ppl

like seattle has

[amber sparrow]

They are targeting 12 million potential customers by end of 2024

[marsh helm]

they have a food truck that gives out food

[silver fable]

Quantum also in AZ.

[brazen thunder]

certain areas are like that, most are not

[marsh helm]

sometimes you get COOKIES

[amber sparrow]

It's a pretty decent fiber network

[marsh helm]

i got cookies from traders joe

[cunning pine]

I live by the beach in Orange County so I don't deal with homelessness and drugs and the ghetto

[cunning pine]

I literally live next to a Trader Joe's. Like literally can walk out my door and be there in two minutes on foot

[marsh helm]

ooh nice

they are cheaper than the other grocery place now

[cunning pine]

It's convenient lol

[marsh helm]

i really hope they dont approve the merger

food prices will go up soo much

oh i went to walmart

1 cola is almost $3

[silver fable]

What merger? Did I miss something in the convo?

[marsh helm]

yuh theres a major grocery chain merger

between the 2 biggest ones

its going to make food soo much more expensive

the one who wants to merge has their prices 20% higher for most of the stuff i buy

[cunning pine]

That's weird cuz I went to Walmart recently and a 12 pack of mountain dew was like $7

[marsh helm]

yeah it was super expensive

everything was 20-30% more vs getting it on sale at my local place

and its on sale 2 weeks a month

oh i meant my dumplings not the cola

i hate cola but i was thirsty

i forgot to bring water

[amber sparrow]

$9/12 pack of coke and whatnot here 😦

[cunning pine]

I was gonna say bro. $3 for a Coke is more like what you pay at a gas station for a 20oz bottle

[marsh helm]

it was the only option

i walked all around the store

T__T

[cunning pine]

$3 at a Walmart seems weird

[marsh helm]

well it was 2.60 cents

with tax its 3

[cunning pine]

That's still too much

[marsh helm]

yuh! i agree

but everything else in the store was super high

and online the same dumplings i get for 10 not on sale

[cunning pine]

Walmart be trippin

[marsh helm]

was 19$

[cunning pine]

Buy your dumplings at Costco
