In the latest video I talk about my experience with System76 technical support, my exit from work related to the Coffee Skills Program, the book I'm writing, and a preview of stuff that I needed to push to the next episode.

This time I'm guessing it's some idiot shooting. Ugh.

12:01AM, time to play everybody's favorite ghetto game, guess the sound: fireworks or gunfire!

Render went faster than estimated, but audio levels were bad. Let's fix that and try again.

Waiting for my next video to finish rendering. It's estimating an hour and thirty-eight minutes using 6 cores, which seems excessive. Now I'm going to eat chocolate and wait for midnight while replaying Virtue's Last Reward and petting the cat.

The strange thing here is that now that I'm checking to see what the notification was, there isn't one, so what was even the point of that? Is the phone so desperate for me to pay attention to it that it's inventing phantom notifications in hopes that I'll play a game or something?

And I'm back. Forgot to silence my phone and I decided not to do a retake over that so there might be one notification sound from that in the background of the next video. Boops while I edit are okay so it's fine to keep boosting my cat.

Going to do some recording. Logging off so cat pic boosts won't boop at me during that.

@Taweret@octodon.social Someone should trace the moral decay of the youth as told by old folks and figure out why we're not all having drug fueled orgies and murder fests right now.

@Taweret@octodon.social Some of the earliest known writings are old people complaining about kids these days and their newfangled whatever making the world scary. You'd think humanity would learn that they've always been full of shit, but this appears to be a timeless trope with no cultural barriers.

#cat wants chin rubs tonight

@cardassianvole My shop is a weird combination. Some things we're very no-tech on and other things we're literally inventing the future.

@cardassianvole Coffee association stuff. I'm going to stop working on curriculum development because the direction association leadership is taking on education is wrong.

Still no official response to the letter I sent a while back so it looks like tomorrow I'll be taking my ball and finding a park that doesn't want an obscene entry fee.
