Hugely disappointing and scary to see Emiru was assaulted by a “fan” at TwitchCon, especially when you remember she was one of three streamers who was stalked and threatened during an IRL stream earlier in the year.

Twitch cannot survive without its talent, and yet it doesn’t protect its talent.

Someone assaulted Emiru at her Meet & Greet at Twitchcon.

Security pushes the perpetrator away, but then turns back and allows the man to walk away. (???)

Emiru comes back shortly after to continue meeting fans.

Why would anyone want to put bad Lumines gameplay on the internet?

Because he really wants attention and he had the day off from work.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

I got into the Twitch 2K (1440p) streaming beta last month, but figured I'd test it out before the next streams go into production.

There are still some issues that need to be worked out, but we'll get there.

So, another thing pissed me off and motivated me to move.

#Rebrandly has decided to gate my access to my own URL shortening which I was only made aware of when trying to update majors.house/ttt to techtalkthursdays.net.

Finally moved over to #Shlink for more #SelfHosted goodness!

They aren't even telling me which songs are triggering the removal so I don't even know which ones to bring to NCS's attention to possibly get fixed!

I'm not even going to blame NCS for this shit!

This is all on #Spotify for their bullshit detection system that refuses to work with the creators!

Marcus "MajorLinux" Summers @majorlinux.com · 1d

Just fucking great!

20 episodes of Tech Talk Thursdays have been removed from Spotify because of music!

I'm currently using NoCopyrightSounds (NCS) playlists on YouTube!
