What’s made you unlock twitch.tv?
A couple of events where my only choices for watching them are: Twitch, Youtube or Fartbook.
What are you doing differently?
TL;DR: I stopped going there unless I have to for the reason above.

I used to spend Waaaaay too much time on the platform. I had a whole setup using Streamlink, MPV and Chatterino where sometimes, I’d have up to 10 concurrent open streams all day long on a secondary monitor (thanks to tiling window managers’ magic), some I was interested in watching, some I moderated for a couple of friends and some I’ve had open just for support (helping new streamers in the community with their numbers till they take off and such). Theeen something happened to one of my loved ones, so I had to stop all the nonsense and spend that time and attention with the person who deserves it the most. I blocked the platform at first since I had a habit to type twit... as soon as I opened a browser 😅 (addiction is real) and now I don’t. (That reflex got replaced with typing twtxt... instead 😂)

In-reply-to » I'm getting way too comfortable with editing twts and fixing Eff' ups... I gotta stop auto-syncing my twtxt file, at least I'll have a breathing room for quick fixes when needed. I know, Michael Lucas might not approve of this but, I wouldn't want the @yarn_police in the middle of the night, right?

@bender@twtxt.net Nobody would notice if stopped auto-syncing my twtxt file 3:) and If I’m careful enough I’d have plenty of time to fix my mess

In-reply-to » @movq Unfortunately I'm on vacation from the 26th Nov to 7th Dec in another country, just relaxing, etc and taking a break from ya know, the long ~50+hr weeks of a demanding job. Over the xmas break I'm taking a few days, mostly just over xmas, so yeah I'll try to participate in Advent of Code again, but I'm not confident I'll get much further than I have in the past years. I do always find it quite fun though! I'll do 'em in Go again of course 😅

@bender@twtxt.net My opinion of Ruby is basically this:

“Everybody get out!!!!!!!!!! (… unless there’s not a fire)”

“It’s the wrong way around.”

Everything in Ruby is just ever so slightly different than I would expect. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net you should do it in PHP, or RoR. It is supposed to be a challenge after all, no? :’-D

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com What’s made you unlock twitch.tv? What are you doing differently? For some reason that I don’t recall, I don’t trust twitch.tv – Who owns/runs it anyway? 🤔

In-reply-to » @wbknl Btw is a digital garden like a CV or something you put online or what? I'm not even sure I know what one means 🤔 😅

In which case I have one that is offline (work) and one that is online, but not public (personal). 🤣 I could publish some of them, but I haven’t figured out how I’d like to do that yet…
