@souldessin I think I have a solution (checking this morning). This isn't as trivial as the Toasts we implemented recently because autocomplete needs to interact with data binding and with APIs, and support keystrokes and fuzzy matching. I am trying to avoid re-implementing all that.

@rml `geiser-no-values`. I'm having big issues with Geiser, too.
I just want an autocomplete select on my site that will play nice with React. So I choose react-select. Over 3300 NPM dependencies downloaded and I feel sick.

with @moaparty getting killed by Elon's API closure, it looks like cross-posting to Twitter is gone. and I don't really care much anymore. What good is Twitter Just full of p.people who want to broadcast and no one who I want to broadcast to. Good bye communities.
@freemo AH! That explains why I was emailed that I'd received a message from a mastodon.social user (which was a spam solicitation), and now I can't find it. Thanks for that!

To make anyone of you go ballistic on how bad this currently looks, put it into context to what current-gen Qualcomm smartphones are doing:

A phone that calls home on hardware level with always-on mic AND cameras and the ability to analyze that data using the inbuilt NPU (Neural Processing Unit)? Oh boy, do I feel safer now.

@BTowersCoding Ah! I've only been listening to him for a few years and had no idea of the AI roots of the show. I just knew he liked jiujitsu :)
At work we manage a "farm" of #WordPress sites. As they age or go derelict they become a maintenance liability, but may have valuable historical data. Some great #static WP examples here:

I have been listening to #LexFridman and his run of #AI thought leaders. A big question hit me today that seems unaddressed: instead of focusing on how AI might wipe us out, why do I not hear any questions about whether AI can prevent us from wiping ourselves out? #GlobalWarming #WorldHunger #Poverty #Pollution
@LouisIngenthron @icedquinn my virtual number which was detected has the same area code as my primary number (which hasn't changed in at least a decade)
@rikylinux_ar I use #guix . Why is #Parabola? Are they in the same space?
@LouisIngenthron @icedquinn but there is no rhyme or reason, no way that virtual numbers identify themselves?
A great discussion going on here. Because of the location (#Clojure thread) there is a bias in the demographic, but good reasons are provided either way and no thoughtless "it's just better" answers. https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/12wmx51/why_do_you_use_clojure_instead_of_other_lisps/
@icedquinn wait -- so you're telling me it's basically static?
@reddit_lisp@mstdn.jp The redd.it links are all broken

Yearly #GitHub sponsorship bill just paid. My goal for next year is to double the amount, and will try to identify a few more devs whose work I depend on either for work or for fun. Bonus if they have a presence in the fediverse, as I enjoy following their work. It's not much, but it's something.
Only @borkdude is on Mastodon currently (that I know), and if you've done anything in #Clojure in the last few years, you'll most likely have encountered his work.
