Sometimes, randomly, my #Firefox cannot connect to anything. I don't know if it's from my changing locations (wifi networks) or what; other things connect fine. I have to restart the FireFox process. I have no idea why. #Troubleshooting #Error #Problem

@worldsendless
couple of benefits that apply to both #nix and #guix: declarative configuration core to the OS, you can rollback a bad install, or even a bad boot configuration at boot time, you can have confidence your config will wont break for the same version, for example, my previous config is possibly 6-8 months hold, I should be able to just "switch" it and it will work. this is what i've experienced in my multiple migrations :D
I think I was able to use it as EMACS without much customization, but getting all my laptop fuctonality to work took some configuration (a good bit from the I3WM and Arch documentations).
I wrote about a bunch of such things when I was getting started, at https://orys.us/exwm . Battery, screen lights, wifi, etc

@daviwil ah, yeah. The instability while streaming would definitely fall under the "Glass" part of my analysis. Not doing that sort of content creation, though, I'm not sensitive to the shortcomings of the X (x-window) in EXWM. I feel as "impossible for me to change" about EXWM. It was you and your stream that made me aware and persuaded as to Guix, though
@daviwil Whoa! I didn't realize that you had moved away from exwm. Have you also moved away from Guix?

Would I recommend #emacs #EXWM as daily driver? No. But I also won't stop living in it. #GlassCannon https://orys.us/v6
It's hard to say how much I love the ad-free, bloat-free experience of #SafeTwitch #twitch . Thanks, #FireFox #LibRedirect #plugin
I just got mildly stung by the fact that #PHP is #DynamicallyTyped. Somehow on one #WordPress site a foreach over an array started choking because its datasource included a boolean, on our dev server only.

Hello World!
The Rust project now has an official presence on Mastodon! 
We'll be posting the same on our Twitter and Mastodon accounts, so you won't miss anything on either platform.

Hey folks, I've seen a lot of talk going around about adblockers lately. I worked in the advertising technology and security industry for five years and the one core piece of advice I have is:
Holy fuck never give an advertiser your data. You cannot believe how bad it is. Don't. I run three layers of ad block protection and I'd run more if it was feasible. If you want to support creators give them money.
@tek I have got to learn to sew... I have buttons missing all over the place. I've saved the buttons, but at this point it's been years...
Ugh. Just did a 1:1 #VideoCall on #MicrosoftTeams and it was awful; between the fact that I was on Web, and he was on desktop with a new update applied this morning, it was basically a photo with audio. We could hear fine, but his efforts to share a document were useless as I saw stale, 45-second old updates, and cancelling that, even video of his face was slow to update. I shared my screen and as far as I know it was fine for him, but the experience was clearly far worse than he wanted. I actually had a Team video call with him a couple months ago and it was ok, though we didn't do any sort of content/screen sharing in that meeting. Today was almost unusable; it was almost just a phone call, until I shared my screen.

When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers. Learn about them in the Guide: https://u.fsf.org/1lr #EndDRM #DRM
@freemo very, very cool! Part of me says "I want one!" and then part of me says, "it looks like too much work..."
