Did you ever post a project and think to yourself "wow that went way easier than I remember it being." And then realized 30 min later that's because you didn't actually do the work?
Yeah I posted the recording of Hannah and I and I COMPLETELY forgot to actually do any kind of video editting, which includes the intro!
So! I'm going to do that now and reupload it the VOD, but it should be the same URL, it'll just be swapped in place.
Thank you again to @haubles@hachyderm.io for joining me on this episode of Fireside Fedi.
I'm having some technical difficulties, so please go check out the episode on TubeFree.org

Big Tech are the new
Cigarette Industry
Sugar Industry
Drug Dealers
They feed off of your addiction and we're finding more and more evidence they knew and exploited this.
BREAK UP BIG TECH!
@firesidefedi Sure. Wait, do you like lisp?
@screwlisp@gamerplus.org idk if I've had the pleasure of trying it to form an opinion.
@firesidefedi I was watching https://tubefree.org/w/sTd3PQp4n8ryg8Ah2q9frw while painting to discover the show! Very cool.
See you tomorrow! Let me know via PM what link I can share on my TL today to invite people to follow the livestream tomorrow. Thanks!
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org @ozoned@stream.firesidefedi.live is the activitypub account to get notified live. stream.firesidefedi.live is where to watch when we go live.
Good day all! I'm going to have to reschedule my episode with @scottjenson@social.coop . I messed up! I sent Scott a meeting invite, then I changed emails! I deleted the old one, which he had verified, and sent him a new one from my new email and I don't think he saw it!
I MASSIVELY apologize to Scott and everyone. I'll try to do better.
Tomorrow though! @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org ! Very excited! Talk with yall then!
This SpaceX Situation: Not Good!

@firesidefedi ... you'd have to work on the name.
@andypiper@macaw.social womm.live or Works On My Machine .live. Also have Debug & Debrief .live. But I think womm is pretty good IMO. 😁
@firesidefedi Sounds interesting.
Title suggestions: "Works on my machine"...or something long those lines
@lqdev@toot.lqdev.tech I bought debugdebrief.live and I think yours is better I got worksonmymachine.live and womm.live.
