every leftist i know is very excited about technology but unfortunately they want tech that improves society and makes people's lives easier and that's harder for wealthy prdophiles to build a trillion dollar industry bubble around

As everyone is looking for discord alternatives, I'm seeing a lot of talk about stoat and root. Please do not choose root. Bluesky is a federated version of Twitter, and stoat is a federated version of discord. Federation is better because the creators can't ruin it for everybody.

Got my steam deck back from the repair center the other day, and realized as I was setting it up again that my steamos-rw install script was broken because I had the arguments to ln reversed. its one of those commands I use just rarely enough that I have to look it up every time.

Remember: LLMs and bots and AI-generated things should always be called ‘it’. Regardless of the style or tone of voice, there is only an ‘it’ there. Don’t humanize it.

SugoiTTS had a series of bugs that would cause a mismatch in the unique IDs used internally and by twitch, which would result in broken browser source urls. That has now been fixed, so if SugoiTTS wasn't working for you before, give it another try now. sugoitts.sugoidogo.com

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Pngtube has moved to pngtube.sugoidogo.com and your downloaded pngtuber is now fully functional offline

All of my software has now been moved over to gitea. Goodbye Microsoft, I never loved you.

I forgot that I added the TTSAvatar options to SugoiTTS, but as I've been moving all my software off of GitHub, I discovered that TTSAvatar no longer actually works. If you were using/considering using TTSAvatar, SugoiTTS is it's replacement. gitea.sugoidogo.com/sugoidogo/Su...

For anyone using my browser sources: I have been migrating all of my software off of GitHub and I'm about to start redirecting the github pages to cloudflare pages. If you experience any issues at all, let me know so we can get that fixed ASAP.

Speaking of discord alternatives, what the hell happened to rocket chat and mattermost? Their websites are almost identical, marketing themselves to governments and militaries now? Did they get bought out by the same company or something?

Was typescript the right choice for my cli program? No, absolutely not. That shit is 100mb for like 4 functions.

I've been using packwiz to manage a few custom modpacks, but it lacks a few features I wanted, so I made packwiz-utils to provide those. It has a better cf detect and adds mr detect and mr merge, which adds modrinth metadata to curseforge files. github.com/sugoidogo/pa... #packwiz #packwiz-utils

Someone asked me "If you could be any mythical creature, what would you be?" I replied "A well-adjusted human being."

I have converted my web services from js to ts, and it has already pointed out a small slew of mistakes I've made in the JavaScript modules, mostly involving forgetting to use await. I've already sent out the updates so if you have any issues with my software, please let me know.

If you're thinking about trying Linux on anything besides a gaming PC, get OpenSUSE KDE. It comes with an app store called Discover, preconfigured for system and flatpak software, aka you don't need to touch a terminal to install 90% of the software you can get on Linux.

A long time ago, I was supposed to update PNGTube and SugoiTTS to be an easy replacement for TTSAvatars, but life happened and I never got around to it. I do still want to do that, but something that just works is long overdue, so I've updated TTSAvatar to use the set-and-forget refreshing tokens.

I just had to say no to no less than 10 different services, including AI slop, offered by google on my new phone just to get to the oem unlock button so that I could install @grapheneos.org. None of these services seemed to be features of my phone or phone service.

Twitch has updated their API, and now any clip player will require the consent of the broadcaster to play their clips. It needs a server-side component, so I've released my own to help quickly get everyone's clip players working again. github.com/sugoidogo/tw...

If you're having issues with any of my software, it may be due to overzealous anti-virus. Comcast/Xfinity is apparently now blocking some of my domains as potentially unsafe, so you may need to go into your xfi advanced security and unblock it.

SugoiClippy stopped working temporarily due to an outage at unpkg, it has been switched to jsdelivr to fix the issue and is now working again.

SugoiClippy wasn't playing clips again, not sure what happened to the url server but restarting it fixed it, so it should be working again

I've now published the source code for VideoLink, the service I set up to get working mp4 links for twitch clips. If you're a developer looking to restore your clip player's functionality, you can get the code for yourself here github.com/sugoidogo/vi...

SugoiClippy can now play clips again! This isn't a permanent fix, just a temporary workaround until we get twitch to bring back mp4 urls in the API, but in the meantime I've created my own service for resolving a working url from an embed url. I'll be posting the full source later. (1/2)

If you want shoutout clips to come back, go vote for the request on twitch's feedback forum twitch.uservoice.com/forums/31021... #twitch

If you're using my subathon countdown timer, go back to the setup page, accept the new permissions, and get a new URL. Twitch's old event system is shutting down on the 10th, and I'll be pushing an update to switch to the new system that morning, but it requires new permissions to work.

So the new SugoiTTS is limited to 3 instances at a time due to Twitch API limits. To get around this, there's now a combined source that will handle every configured TTS instance, minus the avatars. You'll have to choose between having up to 3 tts avatars or more than 3 tts configurations.

SugoiTTS v2 is out now with new features: - Use channel points or chat commands - TTS Avatar / TTS Pet - Allow anyone, editors, mods, vips, or only specific users - SSML This is the easiest TTS widget you'll ever add to your stream. Get it now at github.com/sugoidogo/Su...

Don't get too excited about Spider Man 2 on PC not requiring PSN login. God of War Ragnarok didn't either until months later, and we all saw what happened with Helldivers. Don't forget they restricted game purchases to PSN regions. Just because it doesn't require it now doesn't mean it never will.

Shoutout to Aegis Authenticator for saving me from Authy. Also calling out Authy for not only not letting me export my tokens, but making it as hard as possible to switch to another authenticator. Nobody should use that service, if you want online sync for your authenticator use AuthPass.

Coming soon: a version of SugoiTTS with a proper voice selector

discord dracula is fixed, if it fails to send a reply for whatever reason, it doesn't crash the whole bot anymore

So I made bonnicula's dracula flow into a discord bot discord.com/oauth2/autho...

Microsoft is now sending out emails that Windows 10 is EOL and you should upgrade. I'm here to tell you there's another option, and no I don't mean linux. massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc...

👏 FLAG 👏 YOUR 👏 NSFW 👏 ART 👏 This isn't Twitter, you don't get pushed down the algorithm for it I understand forgetting sometimes, but I see way too much here on my sfw account with porn disabled

Game devs. Useful answers when asked if work will be done in time: - Really anything is possible - Why not? It's a free country - What am I, Nostradamus? - I have no objection to the work being done on time - If it pleases the gods

For anyone who sees my tweets without context, and because I hear discoverability is better here, I'm a software developer in my spare time. I make free software, mostly for twitch streamers, and mostly to fill in the gaps where I see something missing.

Fixed an issue with Clippy where the "user not found" error handler was capturing token expiry errors. Invalid tokens on any API call will now trigger a token refresh and return a fresh api call with the new tokens. If Clippy stopped working for you every couple hours, that should be fixed now.

Just discovered that after reddit started charging for api access, a bunch of the 3rd party reddit apps simply continued development for Lemmy instead (lemmy is a federated reddit alternative like bluesky is for twitter). Just got back on sync for reddit and it's as beautiful as the day I lost it.
