    I wish I could pop out chats in #Slack. I want all my active chats visible at once. It's really easy to lose a conversation when I have several going at once, or I'm waiting for a reply that might not happen for hours.

    Aaron Parecki
    That is such a good idea! I constantly lose DM threads because it doesn't even sort the DM list by most recently contacted.

    I wrote a thread discussing the mathematics of accurately assessing risk. But I deleted it. Don't have the fight in me.

    We really need to fix the education system in the US and require Probability and Statistics instead of Calculus.
    Aaron Parecki
    Seriously! I took (and later taught) Probability and Statistics in college and I was like omg why did nobody ever tell me about this earlier!

    Oh that's funny... I was going to drop a link to his at-home streaming setup, noticing that he uses a Lumix. I gather it has the "will provide a clean HDMI output forever without overheating" feature. That's my back-up option right now... looking at the Nikon Z50 first.
    Aaron Parecki
    yeah I run it off the "dummy battery" connected to USB power. I've run this thing for hours at a time, no issues at all.

    The Lumix G7 was recommended by my coworker @aaronpk who knows waaaay more about cameras than I do. I’m sure there are better options available, but probably more expensive. I hear lots of folks are interested in the new Sony ZV-1 that’s now available for preorder.
    Aaron Parecki
    also you get diminishing returns on camera bodies, I'd spend more on a nice lens before getting a fancier camera than the G7 if you're just getting started.

    The Lumix G7 is a fantastic camera for streaming. There's definitely "better" cameras, but it's one of the most affordable, and especially if you want more than one camera angle, you can actually do that with the G7 whereas it's a bit harder to justify 2x $1200 cameras!

    @aaronpk It sounds like it only affected phone calls at least? Data on AT&T and Verizon I think were fine. All the more reason to use other apps for communication, and treat it as a dumb internet pipe.

    Well, as dumb as it can, with all of the video stuff not being metered depending on which one you have.

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah phone calls and SMS. Ironically I was trying to make a phone call at the exact moment it was down. Switched to using google hangouts to call via WiFi and it was fine.

    Nice! It’s a LITTLE too small for my 32” monitor (partially covers the Qi charger now), but anything smaller should be fine. I use the USB ports all day every day either way.
    Aaron Parecki
    My monitors are up on arms anyway, I just want to cover up this mess of wires on my desk and also have USB ports that are easier to access.

    Dunno if you saw my comment on the actual video, but we have the same desks, lamps, mic, even that wooden stool, so my suggestions may not be so helpful. I do, however, really like this: https://amzn.to/2MXStAz My audio interface sits beneath, and I love the Qi charger on top
    Aaron Parecki
    this thing looks awesome! I'm getting one right now!

    I thought corona was the name of a haircut.
    Aaron Parecki
    Corona is a haircut, a unit of measurement, a beer, and a state of mind.

    @aaronpk Is this a common occurrence? I don't keep track of the goings on with Facebook since deleting my profile many years ago, so just curious if there are examples of this happening to anyone.

    Aaron Parecki
    It's happened to people I know. There's also a variation where someone makes up a fake person and starts friending people from the same high school or college to get into a network.

    Want: For every ounce of water I drink, I want to move $1 into an account. At the end of the day, the difference from my goal should be subtracted from the account (making it necessary for me to be consistent, lol). I’ll never be able to make up for that lost water.

    @aaronpk Hi Aaron! How do we sign up to volunteer for @indiewebcamp ? Not sure if the webchat stream is the best place...
    Aaron Parecki
    Hi! Yep chat is the best, that's where we all hang out and coordinate this stuff! The web chat is kinda awkward, but you can join from Slack or IRC or Matrix as well! https://indieweb.org/discuss

    You’re right. That hit home. And to the original point, change of product terminology is a minor thing in itself. I think it’s the concern about setting precedents - you have to then apply same logic to everything.
    Aaron Parecki
    Yes, we should remove racist and other problematic terminology from everything. It's mind boggling how many different industries terms like these have been embedded in for so long.

    I would recommend tombstoning instead of deleting, just to make sure nobody else can make an account with your name. Delete all the posts, disable tagging, etc, leave a single post up that says where to find you elsewhere.

    That’s why I hope a true FCPX iPad app comes. Trackpad changes everything.
    Aaron Parecki
    doesn't adding a trackpad to the ipad and not using the touchscreen make it... a laptop?

    @aaronpk oddly enough that csv export option only exists in my US amazon account, not in my Dutch amazon account. In the US it also only contains physical books, not e-books

    Aaron Parecki
    Well that's strange. I wonder if GDPR has something to do with that.
