Using #emacs bufler to group my browser windows (NOT tabs!) https://orys.us/vC
Filling this out for a former employee -- what's the difference between "Fired" and "Laid off"?
What #containerization solution is recommended right now for deployment, say of #WordPress? I understand #Docker is dwindling, but it's the only one I know. I know Guix has some nice features, but it's not portable enough for my student devs and my production environments.

I'm trying in vain to figure out how that nice, concise little blog "comments" section works. I am pleased that it doesn't seem to be Disqus, but noticed that it does seem to use one of my centralized images from somewhere. Any clues to what web comment system (I am NOT talking about academic comments on the papers)?
@seancorfield @mykhaylo I just came across the old mailing list discussions they (Crux) were haviig with you in their early days about this. Thanks for summarizing and filling me in!
It's funny how a little, long-standing #QualityOfLife improvement can make me feel so much better! Getting my interface to be always up-to-date and therefore trustworthy
@mykhaylo mrmm.. I didn't see that anywhere. But, to be fair, it's been a while since I've worked on my XTDB projects
A Bitemporal Christmas https://juxt.pro/blog/bitemporal-christmas #clojure #clj #cljs !clojure@lemmy.ml @clojure
At some point (I missed the memo) #xtdb stopped espousing #datalog and invented #xtql. I'm guessing this was to step out of any annoying dependencies of datalog and dampen comparison with the other major datalog approaches in #Clojure.
https://docs.xtdb.com/intro/what-is-xtql.html I especially enjoy the side-by-side Clojure/JSON comparisons here

Just wanted to pop in and say how much I love #mastodon, the #fediverse, #activitypub and all the great things arising out of the social media dumpster fire of late.
Love seeing the re-wilding of the internet, the rise of blogging and RSS again, people posting things they’re interested in versus trying to take advantage of some algorithm…
Looking forward to seeing where this is all going in 2024 and doing my best to help along the way.

what is #TMSR? I clicked the hashtag and am still not sure. Something about Sodium?

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

@worldsendless @kramo Here you are, I've submitted a brief feedback on the #Hyperplane concept as far as I understood it without trying the Flatpak on https://github.com/kra-mo/hyperplane/issues/2

No matter how it shakes out at OpenAI, one thing is clear: all of the leading AI companies are firmly for-profit entities and the illusion of OpenAI as a nonprofit optimizing for humanity is gone.
My latest for New York Times Opinion imagines what it would take to truly build AI in the public interest (spoiler: it could look like public libraries, but for compute):

@freemo and now I am good on the mstdn.games server, so I assume that all QOTO is unlocked!
@kramo this seems like the kind of thing that @publicvoit probably has a take about, and might even support (based on his #PIM thoughts)
this reminds me of the "1 percent" quote that hurt Romney's run so much. Too bad Trump is probably immune
Whoa. I just followed someone and their instance said how many followers I have. I didn't even know that could be counted on Mastodon

I really loathe when people say blanket statements like "Learning from X is not effective"
People learn differently. Saying "Learning from books is not effective" may be true for you, but not for someone else
I don't learn well from video content
I learn great from exercises and small tests and yes, books
You *should* learn what your individual team members styles are and enable them to have resources that work for them
Yep; just verified. Weeks of annoying error message (actually probably years, but I didn't have a viewport on the output) and it was all ended with a `exit 0`
