AI gamedev discourse is so weird to me "Forced disclosure ruins sales" Then consumers consider it bad. "It's a couple noisy outliers" Then your bottom line shouldn't be impacted? "You have to use it or you'll be left behind" You admitted using it hurts your bottom line tho :/ Cult behavior.

"How do folk fall for that twitch DMCA scam?" I see people ask. I dunno. Why would people think that an email out of nowhere about the big scary thing might be from the org that set up the big scary system that just reaches down and tells you its decision with no involvement or recourse or warning?

When you set up scary, arbitrary systems with no transparency or ability to communicate back to that system, where your only interaction with it is when it decides to strike you? You create a big shadowy gap bad actors can hide in, and then that gap becomes SCARY and empowers those actors even more

When I got all the STUFF in my head about altstream out in that giant blog post I mentioned they didn't know SRS was leaning into AI yeah? They switched backends. Which is pretty impressive to just go "Oh that's slop, welp, yeet" I might see about moving my stuff to what they chose too actually

My vision for a streaming world that sucks less is about 40 sites like Altstream that all negotiate a common protocol for federating live-status data and passing raids around. Then the global discovery is a communal project. So if this sticks but is limited to, say, 50 streamers? Go from there.

Thinking about ASFF again... I feel like I haven't done enough to prepare it for RPG Limit Break because I haven't completely torn the game apart, know the stats of every ability, and can step route the entire game. That's just not how I speedrun but it means my run is probably not marathon quality

How many different ways can your process of getting your meds get screwed up before it's reasonable to bubble "Someone in the pharmacy is doing this to me on purpose" up to the top of your investigation stack? Because I am now on day 9 of "Your refill is delayed call us" and missing doses.

and yes y'all read that right: 9 days of refill delay, for a 14 day supply. The *entire* refill has been spent trying to get my next refill.

I'm swapping pharmacies after this no matter what but now they're stringing me along day-by-day with "We're out of stock, but more is coming tomorrow" and we're on day 3 of *that* with a different excuse each day. I shoulda just swapped 3 days ago I know but sunk cost and shite.

I won't ever tire of someone reminding me that building my own simpler hosted-service answer to NodeCG and RTMP servers for marathons has actually resulted in cool stuff already and will for some time to come yet. It was, arguably, stupid to do. Who would want that? Turns out, quite some people.

Something I think only huge events have done in the past: BBG's French restream used the same stream exhaust and broadcast graphic generator during their live portion. They didn't have to re-stream off Twitch. They got the source video exactly the same way we pushed it ourselves. That was cool.

TCRF's stance of "No AI on our wiki, no AI using our data" is not unreasonable no matter how much a small creche of people who sold to the slop mill say it is. Slop produces shitty workalikes of what people claim they made, and the details are paramount in preservation, recomp, and fan translation.

Near spent their ENTIRE MCFUCKING LIFE chasing the last 1% of accuracy. Oh what I think they'd have to say about all of this.

You know, rather than a chain of choked limited posts where people start accusing me of "Tone" that I literally don't have room to fit into bsky posts, I'll sort out this security disclosure thing then do something more longform

I checked out that "altstream" thing and I'm doing a concern. I haven't taken a deep look but it looks to be using WebRTC and serving from either a single SFU, or a single LB hosted out of maybe London in Oracle Cloud? Hopefully this is proof of concept cruft and they have a scaling plan...
