I self host and use mumble daily with my friends. I absolutely love it. One small tip I can share is to enable RNNoise noise cancelling on the client, because it is very effective.

Chipped in what I could spare. Best of luck.

Difficult to recommend specific channels as I don't know what you'd like, but I've found high quality content hosted on these instances :

• https://makertube.net/
• https://tilvids.com/
• https://video.hardlimit.com/

Other creators host their own instance. For example there's @ozoned doing interview of fediverse people at https://video.firesidefedi.live/

I thought it was interesting, unlike your comment.

I see your point, but installing your usual linux distro on a new device is quite easier than switching to linux for the first time, which is what people don't wanna do.

I've seen it first hand recently with a friend who sought advice regarding a low budget laptop purchase for school work and multimedia use. While he was open minded about what hardware to choose, there was no convincing him to ditch Windows. I told him he'd be better off using a lightweight linux distro on such modest hardware, but he insisted on Windows 11 based on questionable arguments ("I need office"), even knowing it'd be slow, bloated, full of ads and AI features no one care for. Old habits do die hard.

I guess Amber is not a fan of toxic masculinity.

Loops, like everyone rightly said, but while this initially peaked my interest, at this point I'm a little skeptical about this project. Dev seems very keen to overhype and tease new features, but usually fails to deliver, like the webUI that was supposed to be days away last year but still doesn't exist. For a fedi platform, not being able to access it via a browser on a desktop is the most bizarre thing to me. I'd hate for fediverse tech to follow this mobile-only trend.

For me, it started when they took the non-standard maps out of competitive play.

I'm guessing you're talking about the old neo-tokyo map. I felt it was a bit chaotic for ranked myself, so I liked that change. But Epic is still trash, don't get me wrong 😂

There is now enough interesting content that I find myself spending more and more time on peertube. The trick is finding it I guess. Sepia search does help but it's not perfect. I've found that following the #peertube and #livestream hashtags on mastodon is a good way to catch a livestream or find people promoting their channel on fedi.

I use a flydigi vader 3. It's a very good gamepad and works nice out of the box on linux, either wired of wireless using their dongle.

Seems nice, count me in! (PC)

Thanks for another great edition. Since you asked, I'm currently playing Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and it is crazy good.
