According to Owncast’s documentation, object storage services can be used to distribute live streams to viewers, even though it’s arguably an abuse of object storage for streaming.

Absolutely indeed! I’ll never buy an Nvidia card because of how anti-customer they are. It started with them locking out PCI passthrough when I was building a gaming Linux machine like ten years ago.

I wonder if moving people towards the idea of just following the companies that don’t treat them with contempt is an angle that will work. I know Steph Sterling’s video on “consumer” vs “customer” helped crystallize that attitude in me.

I use it with DuckDuckGo and startpage, it can be configured for a few search engines.

Firefox has uBlacklist, might be on Chrome too.

It’s usually tracking protection breaking the site, in my experience.

It was a genuine question, because I’m honestly not keyed in to the marketing buzz, and I’m generally disinterested in big publisher marketing. Also, “Daggerfall in space” wasn’t a dig; I absolutely love No Man’s Sky, but that game to me, in terms of ethos and mechanics, is Space Daggerfall in all the best ways.

I should also stipulate, I’d say “creativity” to me means exceptional aesthetic qualities, writing, or mechanical novelty. There are many very good and fun games that I wouldn’t call “bursting with creativity”. I love Skyrim, it’s an incredibly entertaining, beautiful, and compelling game; but it was a step back for the series in terms of innovating the genre the way Daggerfall and Morrowind did.

But yeah, to be perfectly honest, with small developers who treat their workers well like Motion Twin, Supergiant, or Hello Games, I can’t really get invested in any Bethesda games beyond being kind of curious.

I haven’t followed the hype cycle but is it looking like it’s going to be anything more than Daggerfall in space? Which is a great core concept, but it’s not exactly “bursting with creativity”.
