I'm a developer out of academia that loves learning-from and sharing my knowledge with others on their programming journey through live-coding on Twitch. Oh, I also make OBS plugins. https://f15y.com

Applied for an Apple Developers account under my LLC to keep my full legal name off the signing cert on my plugins. A legit LLC that has been in business for years, has a DUNS number and all the things. Apple just rejected it, because my website isn't good enough. Each iteration takes weeks...

There is no actual reason in the rejection or any kind of indication of what to fix. Just "Your website is insufficient" with a list of things like "no domain parking pages, or social media pages, it has to be a dedicated website with your own domain name." None of which applies to my site.

Just released an update for my Advanced Masks @obsproject.com plugin! It fixes a bug that kept it from loading in OBS 33, and adds the new OBS 33 structure (along with legacy packages for older OBS versions). Go grab it now! obsproject.com/forum/resour...

I'm excited to announce the release of version 1.1.0 of my Retro Effects plugin for @obsproject.com. This release adds OBS 33 support, and is now distributed with both OBS 33+ compatible installers/debs, and legacy installers/debs for OBS 30-32. obsproject.com/forum/resour...

OBS 33 compatible releases of my other plugins, starting with Advanced Masks and Composite Blur will be coming out in the next few days.

Very excited to have the new version of my Plugin Manager code merged into the @obsproject.com codebase for v33! It has a bunch of behind-the-scenes changes in how plugins are loaded/stored in OBS, and will enable a bunch of amazing new features for OBS users. And huge thanks to @warchamp7.ca for...

... giving the Plugin Manager an amazing UI facelift. I'm pumped that we're now ready to implement all of the user facing plugin management features we've been planning for years. As @shindigs.bsky.social would say... Big Things Coming to a future OBS version!

Proud dad moment. Finite Jr. had his first game as the starting varsity kicker on his HS team. Only got to kick once last night (tough game for the team) but it was an incredible kick!

2-years after the old 28” iMac panel I was using died, I got my DIY digital picture frame back up and running thanks to a nice discontinued 27” IPS monitor on clearance. I forgot how much we liked sitting on the sofa watching memories cycle through.

Had a package coming today via FedEx that I needed for work tomorrow. Watched the FedEx truck pull up to the end of my driveway, stop for 5 seconds then drive off. Then got this email:

Twitch and Amazon are being sued in a class action over claims that the tech companies harvest creators' video streams without permission or compensation to train Amazon's generative AI program. Story: www.courthousenews.com/online-strea...

A wild @andistone.uk appeared, and shouted out both Stroke/Glow/Shadow, AND Advanced Masks in one short! Today is a good day. Thanks Andi!

A lot of you asked why I don't just hold Alt and crop in OBS. One of the reasons: crop a source and filters still work off the original bounds, so a stroke only lands where OBS thinks the edge is. Advanced Mask crops it properly, full border. Stroke filter by @f15y.com

Riding on a relatively rural road in Wisconsin. No speed limit signs since we got on the road. Apple Maps shows it is 25mph, Google Maps shows 35mph, and Wayze shows 55mph. 🤷‍♂️

My elderly mom is currently going through Homeowner Association hell. The installation of a system where neighbors can wield seemingly unchecked power over other neighbors is yet another reason why the concept of community is circling the drain in day-to-day life in the US.

People bemoan "Steam Game Backlog" and always thought to myself "Why do people buy games if they're not going to play them?!?" Last night, my youngest asked to see my steam games, and I realized I had 380 games purchased, only about 100 of which have ever been played. #steam-sales-are-predatory

In case you missed it. Something else to keep in mind, I'm sure many many companies are just going to LOVE their game etc being played on a site and their assets etc being use to train AI without permission..no issues there AT ALL /s

Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default. You can opt out of some training here: www.twitch.tv/settings/sec...

Some day, I'll get my streaming momentum back.. unfortunately, today is not that day. Internet has been going in and out all morning. If I get a call that it is all fixed by lunchtime, I'll fire up the stream.

New microwave acquired and installed. Kind of disappointed in the lack of fireworks when it runs though, NGL. Also, its always fun when the new microwave's cabinet mounting holes are 3/4 of the hole diameter away from the old ones. The install process was not fun... 🫠

In 100% related news, guess who just ordered a new Over-The-Range microwave...

Apologies for the lack of any streams over the last month. Between my family trip, and a crazy busy work schedule, I needed to step away a bit for my sanity. That said, I'm excited to get back to it, and hope to see y'all on the stream tomorrow (Wed)!

I met Mrs. Singularity 29-years ago, when she worked at the Minnesota Zoo. It was love at first sight, as I realized something in the very first moments: She's a keeper.

PSA: If you're in Minnesota (or any of the other areas with flat-out toxic air today), and you have an air exchanger in your house- now would be a good time to unplug it/turn it off until things improve.

One of the biggest changes to the UI and user workflows that we've made in a long time. The goal is always to make things better ofc but PLEASE for the love of god, test it out and give us feedback before we release it to millions of people. P L E A S E
