@askonomm@mastodon.social so both Clojure and TypeScript are doing "gradual typing." I guess the difference are the approaches.With Typescript that is in its name, and is all it is about. In Clojure[Script] it is an option but not a default

Key bit: "#Tumblr moving away from a growth strategy also aligns with the larger movement toward smaller and decentralized social media, characterized by the dispersal of Twitter’s users onto platforms like Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord, and even back to Tumblr itself.
'Every future for Tumblr that I’m involved in will include it being more open, supporting more standards, APIs, and open source.'”

Just got my @indivisibleteam newsletter, and I'm heartened to see that they're stepping back from Twitter. They're removing Twitter from their social media links on their website, phasing down on-Twitter content, and helping folks migrate to alternate platforms.
It's good to see large influential organizations finally drawing the line. It's awesome that they're not just doing so passively, but actively helping people leave. #Twitter #Indivisible
@simongray Latin and Ketchup. I can't argue with that!

Read the inspiring story of how Eyüpsultan, Turkey switched to free software, gained independence from proprietary software, and saved money ($$$) in the process! If they did it in their city, your city can do it too! | Read more at: https://u.fsf.org/3m9
@simongray I don't know that reference... but ad populum https://www.scribbr.com/fallacies/ad-populum-fallacy/
I always mentally wonder about #TypeScript vs #ClojureScript, knowing that #Clojure's decision to avoid #types is very deliberate. But TypeScript is conquering the world; is that an ad populum sign that Types are really a better way to go? Or does ClojureScript offer other things instead? If so, what are they, and to do the benefits of each option find value in different situations?
One of my biggest peeves is people spending time and effort "fixing" problems that have already been solved. I don't need you to fix my copy-paste! Stop coming up with replacements for email, planning, doing the dishes/laundry, etc. Unless your complaint is more substantive than "it's just hard for me," or "I'm used to something else".
If your complaint is inconvenience or difficulty, the answer probably doesn't require a disavowal of previous solutions, just a refinement for you (let's give you shortcuts, or reconsider the problem we are facing).
@RyunoKi@layer8.space @alcinnz@floss.social @Seirdy@pleroma.envs.net @alilly@solarpunk.moe ah! Sorry. I shouldn't have missed that. The big technical difference, then, would be the ability to in-line a spoiler, which isn't possible with a details block. It also carries different semantics and is used differently.
I didn't actually read it....

I strongly recommend this book to anyone who thinks about current events or who thinks in general.

don't we already have that in html with `<summary>` element? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/details
@simongray @seancorfield In my case it was not blackmail but a thinly veiled threat like, "I know where you live"
I received an unexpected "encrypted" email from my lawyer that includes the phrase, "If you have received this message, then you are the intended recipient. It is impossible to receive this message by error." It links only to a website, marcord. Now, the original message from him has all the trappings his emails always have -- do not share disclosures, intended recipient stuff, etc. The same footer. All-in-all, it looks like a rare breed of high-brow scam artistry.
@simongray @seancorfield The trouble is with bad actors (which can include companies). I have had people say threateningly, "Good thing it's so easy to find you!"
I probably cared less about this back when I didn't have a family I wanted to protect

I seem to have put my chips in long ago on the awkward "#privacy vs #publicity" thing, before I actually knew much about data privacy. it is an interesting debate in this era of content creators and social media. Are those two things both incompatible with privacy?

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
