As you can see in the video, we're continuing to have hooting, hooting, hella time playing around with using Discord as a real-time streaming/messaging platform. This week we started allowing server members to drop by live during the podcast. Once we get all of those bugs worked out, hopefully we can add real-time chatting and feedback from the community!
Two stories I'm still thinking about: CRDTs on Matrix, and web3/blockchain allowing gamers to get paid for playing games. The next decade is goiing to be a really cool future in tech!
This should work in iTunes. (This link http://danielbmarkham.com/podcast/rss is a podcast feed) If it doesn't work, here's a direct link to the mp3: 2022-01-21 Nerd Roundup!
