FIXED! Element, Matrix Chat Client, Goes Blank After Sitting Idle For A While
This may apply to many setups, but my specifics are: Fedora (Linux), Gnome desktop running Wayland. I have a self-hosted Matrix server and connect with an Element client from my Fedora machine. The Element client would work when it first opened but after sitting idle for a while, when I’d pull it up again, the… Read More »
Love Never Fails
God is love, love never fails. So if Jesus fails to save anyone, is that failure? Infernalists say no, it’s not failure because the unsaved have rejected Jesus so it’s their choice. But Jesus came to seek and save the lost, so how could anyone remain lost and unsaved while saying Jesus succeeded? If anyone… Read More »
FIXED! Left Audio Only on OBS with Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD
If you’re recording your voice-over into OBS through a Behringer UMC204HD, or probably many audio interfaces, I would guess, you might be annoyed with all of your sound being isolated to one side (all left or all right).

A common response to tracking is “so what, they aren’t going to do anything bad with that data”. Somehow, people think that since they don’t understand, or even know, what Microsoft would do with the tracking data that there’s no risk in letting them track us. Many people are that trusting.
