@Joel I'm a "do everything in #emacs" guy, so my mail is via #Gnus, #Getmail, #Notmuch, #BBDB, and integration with #orgmode todo items. So, it took me a while to get my email setup configured, but now it fits like a glove. As I write this on Mastodon, I am one key chord away from creating (C-x m) or checking my email (f9) or searching my email (s-m) or searching my contacts (C-c b b).
@reddit_lisp@mstdn.jp none of these reddit links are working. They all come back with a "301 moved permanently"
I am beginning to think that my #email client setup is too good. For me, writing, reading, and searching email is easier and more pleasant than #Slack or any other messaging platform, and I forget that not everyone has such a positive experience with it. I get baffled when people express email fatigue rather than anything else fatigue.

I hit #unsubscribe and went to a page that said "it looks like you don't want to receive emails from us anymore." Then the actual unsub place was 3-clicks deep. Is that passive aggression?
Call me crazy, but I sort of love #Clojure stacktraces. They are so incredibly useful for debugging. #refactoring
The Beauty of #Clojure as a #DataOriented language really shone for me yesterday when I was data crawling -- nay, slogging -- through a big #PHP multi-type nested blob.

Was it an #AprilFools that #Spotify made autoplay on my home screen as I browse in supposed silence? Scathing responses: https://piunikaweb.com/2023/03/30/spotifys-autoplay-feed-on-new-homepage-ui-annoys-some-users/ . Found a sort-of official work-around. https://www.reddit.com/r/truespotify/comments/12a8fd9/why_do_i_have_playlists_autoplaying_on_my_home/
#github your "abundance of caution" is super annoying, and costing us lots of time and broke our CICD. Still, probably better than hacks. https://github.blog/2023-03-23-we-updated-our-rsa-ssh-host-key/

The simple beauty of modulus arithmetic extended to 3D, coded in #clojure. Inspired by some of @guidoschmidt recent renders :)
Finalizing a project, #emacs with #dired and #kmacros was the right tool for bulk replacing per-file CSS https://orys.us/uL

Here's a first: did a Google search on something and one of my own Mastodon posts came up as a result.
Beginning to think that the cultural norm here of not allowing search isn't going to last all that much longer.
webxdc: at least 200 times more interesting than Web3 :)
I am really interested in this tech, #decentralized and #libre #webxdc #deltachat
@zulip Good to know. Thanks for the reply!
@Jerome That's true. All I know is that stuff "finished" and unmaintained now breaks because of Java...
@souldessin actually that does make me wonder if it had something to do with the hour -- perhaps the email service on free tier isn't 24/7?
@zulip and... it's back now, and all my queued messages went through at once 😂
One of the big downsides to being a hosted language like #Clojure is that, regardless of how awesomely stable the ideology with the language itself, you can't avoid problems if your host decides to make breaking changes. I am still doing damage control on the painful #Java 9+ #CoreChanges, where they decided it was time to shrink Java's core library and various dependent packages broke.

I remember seeing some research about productivity and remote work--they studied both telemarketers and customer service reps handing inbound service or support calls.
The employees taking inbound calls did better working remote, but the telemarketers did better co-located (because they could pump each other up in between getting hung up on or yelled at)
Anyone else remember this and have a link?
