got it working with ymuse and mpd!!! thanks yall

to be extra clear:

many things can support reading and writing to relative-path m3u files (including strawberry, what we currently use)
we would like something that automatically does this, much like how music players automatically scan your music library and pull in newly added songs

so, we have a music player on android (vanilla music player) that does a neat thing. it can synchronize playlists to relative-path m3u files. this means, we edit the playlist, add a song, etc, it saves that to a local file in your music folder.

we uh, find that neat and useful

is there a media player with a similar file for desktop linux, which will update the playlist when the file changes and such?
we use syncthing to keep our music synced between devices, so this would be amazing

hear ye, hear ye! in seven and twenty minutes, we shall be playing Astrologaster, and seeing the doctor Simon Forman to cure our aching wrists!

tonight! in less than 1 hour, at 18:00 eastern time, we will be playing Viscera: Cleanup Detail, in multiplayer!

(note; that game uh, as per its title, has a fair bit of sorta-cartoonish gore. it's about being cleanup after video game levels from shooters happen, basically)

oh it wasn't clear: the loopbacks are to point the null sink monitors back to our actual headphones so we can also hear

also, side question, is there a way to arbitrarily pass environment variables to OBS' browser plugin so we can tell them to use a specific sink, or do we just need to pass an environment variable to OBS as a whole >.>

okay this has been giving us heck for a while

we want to load 2 null sinks and 2 loopbacks at startup.
specific usage: we have them set up to be named "games_null_sink" and "voice_null_sink", and we redirect all video game and voice chat audio through them, so that

1. we can generally control more globally the volume level of games we play
2. we can separate out those audio sources for streaming, so random desktop audio not going to those sinks doesn't get heard on stream. eg if we start playing our own stream for an audio check, it won't infinitely loop.

we have the commands for it (pactl load-module blah blah - can copy exactly what we run when at a desktop again)
trying to put this into a fish script to run at login with xfce's "session and startup" tool? it seems to load them before some other sources, which leads to the loopbacks just looping back our microphone instead, making us manually edit where they go in the pulse audio controller GUI program
(we have the commands set up to set the source for the loopback to be the monitor of the null sink, which works 100% fine in a normal terminal session, so we suspect the timing is the issue, maybe our usb microphone is getting that "oh you just plugged me in" priority on boot but after the script runs?)

using the /etc/pulse/default.pa file just doesn't load the sinks and loopbacks at all when we try??

https://twitch.tv/fidgetcetera iiiin just a few minutes, hang out and enjoy the tunes and get ready for the return of the parry pros!!

mastodon.social
ppl have had serious issues with the way dot social has been running for like, a fucking while, but quite frankly, seeing a staff member post that ppl are "babybrained" and have "dents in their brain", and then their response to being reported for ableism is to mock it because they're an admin? fucking gross and we're sick of this kinda shit being acceptable

https://mastodon.social/@LuigiEsq/104950079681765497
https://mastodon.social/@LuigiEsq/104951054840104612

while we're at it we'll note that this isn't super new for luigi, see also: his past forays into, uh, mocking the very existent disability spoons theory because it's "baby talk"
https://mastodon.social/@LuigiEsq/104442053963795933

there are probably more examples.
mastodon.social also just outright does not have rules against ableism. like, at all. presumably no one running the garbage site saw the need for caring abt ableism
