That "smart lighting" from Philips is about to spy on you in new ways you can't control -- naturally the company is claiming it's to protect you. This is Trump-level lying.

I made a #static site using #ShadowCLJS #ClojureScript . The last step was to remove the #CLJS. But I still use Shadow to start up a local server and explore my static site in-browser. It works nicely as a quick server. #clojure
I used #emacs `find-and-replace-regexp` to reformat my todo list to include the #github issue number (also featuring Anzu) #regexp https://orys.us/v2

With all due respect to projects like cinelog, #OpenSource is just the first step -- #MovieReviews should be both free and #decentralized. In the absence of a solution like bookwyrm for movies, I'm doing it the old-fashioned way with the #moviestodon hashtag.
I just had an unexpected error with a #babashka VPN script I run every day. I was re-using a shell that was in a directory of a #Clojure project and got a NPE and "java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working directory." It never occurred to me that Babashka might care about my pwd... I suspect I've been missing something valuable.

Procrastination for Strange Loop presentation is peaking.
Made a cloudflare worker with @bunjavascript and squint:

each day I have a "personal study" #emacs #orgmode #agenda item. Part of it is daily reading of a text file book. I bookmark my progress and then link to the bookmark from the orgmode entry; each day I just follow that link, update the bookmark when I finish reading, and the next day I can just follow day's link to pick up my reading. With #spray.el speed reading, btw.

Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act now to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice: https://u.fsf.org/40a #EndDRM #Enshittification #Google #WebStandards #DefectiveByDesign
Current state of #debugging: #GithubAction experiences a timeout that I do not -- checking for timeouts on something takes a whopping 30+ seconds, when I have no problem getting it done under the 5-second testing timeout limit. Next stop: figure out WHY. Suspect: I'm doing something that the server's PostGres version is bad at?

With enough users, SOMEONE will depend on observed functionality of your API, regardless of whether it is "supported" or "deprecated" or simply unknown to the author(s). See also https://xkcd.com/1172/ and some deeper explation at https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1172:_Workflow .
@freemo @tech.lgbt oi. Doesn't seem like anything there should have led to a server block, or to it continuing
@freemo @tech.lgbt I'm definitely curious. What's the link?
@freemo @tech.lgbt so bizarre that the tech.lgbt person would have bad behavior against their namesake group...

Infrastructure as code with Clojure

@freemo why is there a disconnect so that I am having trouble following or being followed by a friend on the @tech.lgbt instance? I hear that #qoto might be on people's "bad" list?

This is a @w3c Community Group. This means W3C provides the mailing list and forum, but does not endorse the group. It has no formal standing.
It is *not* a standards-track document.

• https://w3c.social/@w3cdevs/111029741997150960
Regardless, there is value in reading through the list and exploring what you can do to reduce the emissions footprints of your web projects.
#emacs #Bookmarks are a super power I never hear mentioned, and BookmarksPlus is a full-blown application that highlights and brings all that power to your finger tips. Annotations, URLs, directories, files (like my PDF library), and full integration with dired. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus
