After receiving $30K I went live to share the news with my community. I didn't go to sleep until after 8 a.m. our first day here that's why no one saw me.
I am NOT an introvert.
I am NOT afraid of the students here. They have all treated me with respect.
I was NOT starving.
I regularly stream 12-24 hours without napping or eating.
I'm younger than I look and older than what has been reported, but my age has no relevance on my ability to stream and I have proven that.
I am NOT fragile.
To everyone who criticized Kai for inviting this frail old lady to Streamer University...
"Yo Mama!"
MeesterKeem asks for Kai Cenat's approval to host a charity event at Streamer University where streamers will be opening a $40,000 First Edition Pokemon Booster Box and donating all the proceeds to Alveus Sanctuary ❤️
We are DELIGHTED💖,
over-the-moon🌛,
ESTATIC 🎉,
(did we say delighted already?)
to introduce to you Emberville's FULL VOICE CAST!
Speechless, enamored, humbled by the sheer talent involved in this game!
Download the offline installer of any of your games on GOG, save it to a disc and it's yours forever.
You don't need a storefront's permission to play what you bought.
Red Hat might have committed the biggest open source betrayal in Linux history.
CentOS had been the backbone of enterprise Linux since 2004. Disney, Toyota, Verizon, GoDaddy. All running on it. All completely free.
In December 2020, Red Hat announced CentOS 8 would die eight years earlier than promised.
Gregory Kurtzer, the original co-founder of CentOS, was still watching.
Hours after the announcement he committed to building a replacement. He named it after Rocky McGaugh, his CentOS co-founder who died in 2004 without ever seeing the project succeed.
He called it Rocky Linux.
Within two months Rocky Linux had 10,000 contributors. Within half a day of its first stable release, it was downloaded over 10,000 times. AWS backed the build infrastructure. Within a year it was running in production across the industry.
Red Hat did not stop there.
In 2023 they restricted access to RHEL's source code entirely, aiming directly at Rocky Linux and its rival AlmaLinux. Without the source, neither project could stay compatible.
The community's response was bigger than one distro this time.
Oracle, SUSE and Rocky's parent company CIQ formed an entirely new alliance called OpenELA specifically to keep enterprise Linux source code public. Their actual tagline: "No subscriptions. No passwords. No barriers. Freeloaders welcome."
Red Hat tried to kill CentOS once. The community rebuilt it.
Red Hat tried to cut off the replacement. The community built an alliance to protect it.
Some companies think open source means you can take it back whenever you want.
The community keeps proving them wrong.
Whoever thought only having digital locks to our apartments in my building was a great idea with no physical back up. Come fight me I had to use a 9v battery to jump the electric lock to get into my apartment after sitting outside my unit for an hour.
Introducing EllesmereUI's New System: Settings Overrides
Consolidate your multispec profiles, save yourself tons of time and increase your performance. This is the next evolution of addon profiles. Only maintain one profile, simply override any setting in the entire suite based on spec, content type, or even toggle via keybind. Check out the video to learn how it works!

---- Full Patch Notes ----
**Headline Features**
- **NEW: Profiles & Presets: Settings Overrides** - Change any setting for a group of specs (all your tanks, your healers...) or based on a condition: Dungeon, Raid, Arena, Battleground, Solo, or an out-of-combat keybind toggle. Click the class glyph next to the search bar, pick who or when, and everything you change applies only there.
- **NEW: Modular Visibility** - Every Visibility dropdown is now a checklist. Combine conditions - In Combat while In a Raid, only When Dragonriding, and more - and add Mouseover to reveal on hover only while they pass. Both Dragonriding options are now available for every module.
- **NEW: PTR Ready - One Version for Both** - EllesmereUI now ships as a single version that runs on both live retail and the Midnight 12.1 PTR. Install once, play anywhere - the same addon loads on either client, with full support for the PTR's reworked aura system. No separate PTR build to download or keep in sync.
- **NEW: Character Sheet: Socket Panel** - Gem sockets from your equipped gear now line the bottom of the character sheet. Click a socket to see every socketable gem in your bags with its stats, and click a gem to socket it instantly - no Blizzard socketing window needed.
- **NEW: Unit Frames: Player Private Auras** - Boss-mechanic icons (private auras) can now show directly on your player frame. Opt-in per-slot icons with size and position controls, so you see your assignment the instant it lands - no more hunting Blizzard's floating icons mid-pull.
- **NEW: Cooldown Manager: Global Tracking Bar Groups** - Tracking bar groups can now be Global: build the group once and its bars, layout and position follow you across every spec, instead of rebuilding the same setup thirteen times.
