In the coming weeks I'll be live streaming implementing ActivityPub using Clojure! Planning to stream a few times a week.
I'll probably do my first stream tomorrow morning (somewhere around 7~8am UTC), but it will be episode zero, i.e. a messy stream where i sort out my setup and other prep work. First proper stream will be on Friday!
I'll post updates and stream times here. Official hashtag: #ActivityPubInClojure
Ah! I got an Android rss feed reader that can pull in my opml files cleanly. What's more, it holds free² values, so no adds or centralization! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nononsenseapps.feeder.play&gl=US #Feeder #RSS #NoNonsense #opml

emacs, lisp, guix, guile, scheme excitement thread
@cwebber Yay! Power and freedom! #emacs, #guix and #lisp allow me to bend reality to whatever looks good to me and gets the job done. No weird contraints imposed by language designers to hold me back or make we feel like I'm "doing it wrong". Both #emacs and #guix have some weird point of no return and passing it is almost a physical experience. #clojure for business hours and #scheme for spare time.

Remember when always-listening Amazon Alexa was going to be inevitable?

How about Google Glass?
Big Tech PR always tells us that each new #SurveillanceCapitalism technology is somehow going to be inevitable until…it isn't.
Today's "inevitable" surveillance is #adtech built into web browsers. Maybe it will be the next ALPR and actually get widely deployed, or, maybe it will go the way of other once-inevitable surveillance systems

An interesting article on how to use #babashka in git hooks!

#AdventOfCode teaches you the rarely used parts of your language. I grep'd our ~100kloc #clojure code base and noticed that not a single time we use `reductions`. `frequencies` we use 4 times. When doing #AdventOfCode those functions are frequently used!
What began as issues with the routing became other blinding issues with our #logging apparently ceasing -- both to file and to database -- for unknown reason after just a few minutes. #TroubleshootingCascade
Gotta say, this is pretty cool. Finally some nice #json viewing in #emacs! https://github.com/iwahbe/jsonian
@bthalpin @publicvoit @mhd I've wondered why those "accept" buttons just work...
abruptly my three-monitor setup, which has been working for years, stopped because it couldn't find my 1600x900 mode. An hour later it is good again. #GhostsInTheMachine
I have never viewed epub before os thought I would try it. Because of dependencies and non-github repos, the #emacs #straight.el install had a few more steps. https://orys.us/uw

@jay@emacs.ch Were you using Nitter for the twitter reading?
I am a big fan of the browser webapps, but am trying out the RSS elfeed option as part of my war against doom scrolling
@publicvoit Well, I'm still in the process of having that experience :) I have RSS to everyone, but I don't have a way of syndicating my own content yet
I just added most of my qoto followings to my #RSS reader. Let's play with that a bit.

#introduction
Hi there! My name is Scott Starkey, and I'm a Clojure back-end developer for CataBoom, a gamification marketing company. In my spare time, I'm also a part-time professional magician and a probably psychic entertainer.
Other interests include the international language Esperanto, board games (design and playing). I'm an illustrator / cartoonist for my game design projects.
