Love this: I’m editing my slides for tomorrow’s talk at PrivacyWeek using slides.com on my elementary OS daily driver and getting an almost real-time preview in the Atem Mini Pro multiview from my Pop!_OS laptop that’s playing the presentation.

Photo of the scene described in the post. Two laptops and two external screens. One screen is on my desk and showing the slides.com editing view. The other is on a stand behind the laptops and showing the Atem Mini Pro multiview.

Also, note that the MacBook is absent in the setup.

With slides.com, I don’t need Keynote anymore and I’ve decided I can live without macros on the Atem so I ditched the Elgato Streamdeck as well as the software for those only runs on Mac or Windows. So my streaming/presentation setup is 100% Linux now: one machine for demos & to stream via the web and one to run the slides from.

Damn it, I do need the Atem macros after all so the bloody MacBook has to stay.

In the meanwhile if anyone knows of alternatives to the Atem Mini Pro and Elgato Stream Deck that don’t lock you into Windows or macOS, please let me know.

Absolutely love the Atem as a video switcher but their lack of support for Linux will eventually make me give it up if there’s a viable alternative.

Oooh, now doing something I can ONLY do because the slides are web-based. Real-time composition/tweaking of chroma-keyed objects on top of my live video… can’t wait to create a video about that after tomorrow’s talk is over.

(And to see the effect, tune in tomorrow at 7PM Austrian time to watch my talk at PrivacyWeek: fahrplan.privacyweek.at/pw21/t)

fahrplan.privacyweek.atBig Tech is a virus, Small Tech is the vaccine PrivacyWeek 2021Big Tech and Covid have the same success criteria: exponential growth. [Fueled by venture capital and right-libertarian Silicon Valley ideology](https://ind.ie/excuse-me/), Big Tech is a virus that [drains us of our rights, freedoms, and agency](https://ar.al/2019/05/02/slavery-2.0-and-how-to-avoid-it-a-practical-guide-for-cyborgs/). While we must [fight Big Tech directly with legislation](https://ar.al/2019/11/29/the-future-of-internet-regulation-at-the-european-parliament/), we can also vaccinate ourselves against Big Tech [by funding and building Small Tech](https://ar.al/2020/01/01/in-2020-and-beyond-the-battle-to-save-personhood-and-democracy-requires-a-radical-overhaul-of-mainstream-technology/). [What is Small Tech?](https://small-tech.org/about/#small-technology) It is the exact opposite of Big Tech. In this talk, Aral Balkan will introduce [the concept of Small Tech](https://small-tech.org/about/#small-technology) as [easy to use](https://small-tech.org/videos/ux-talk/) personal technologies that are non-colonial and non-commerical by nature, private by default, zero knowledge, peer-to-peer, interoperable, and inclusive by design, and share alike in licensing. He will also give a sneak peek at [the current state of development](https://small-tech.org/videos/small-is-beautiful-11/) of the [Small Web](https://small-tech.org/research-and-development).
