Very interesting exploration of non-Git* solutions. I particularly liked his point warning of vendor lock-in.

GitHub is so breathtakingly anticompetitive when you consider the integration of Dependabot, GitHub Actions, and other infrastructure and integration nobody else is allowed to even get close to providing.
Today I have over an hour fighting how one WordPress thing inserts an extra containing <p> on plaintext vs wysiwyg, and a theme sticks inline width into some images. In both cases we were fighting the Framework instead of benefitting. All I could think of was how I've never appreciated more the #Clojure community dislike for frameworks. Frameworks make it so the beginner can do it but the pro cannot.
Just introduced this classic talk to some of my #clojure devs, when introducing David Nolen and why his perspective is good to hear besides Rich Hickey. https://youtu.be/8o01g6C7jWg
"We see that with the rise of clojure-lsp and tools like clj-kondo some people are starting to question the tradional Lisp ways, but we remain convinced that they are just as powerful and as relevant as they have always been. And as simple and elegant as Lisp."

#Facebook's reply here is a near copy-paste of the Obama administration's response to the revelation of the NSA's unlawful mass surveillance program.
Mark seems unaware that the "false picture" defense did not do well in court. It did not do well at all:

Do you use #Java ?
Stop. 🛑
If you are a real developer, you need to
be developing with #Clojure
Clojure holds you accountable to the hammock time model.
Java does not.
Java is a delusion. 🔮
Clj is reality.
Have a great day. 🤩

Today we're launching the Tor Project's annual fundraising campaign.
The message is simple: privacy is a human right, and Tor helps millions of people around the world exercise that right.

Email is something of a pleasure with #emacs + notmuch + gnus + getmail. A dozen addresses all funneled and sorted in one mail client, quickly created, replied, removed, searched, or added to my daily agenda. After years I would feel handicapped to go back to a web interface.
VR is dystopian in many ways, one of which is that it hates the environment. Ready Player One didn't quite get this right: there, VR was the escape from a ruined world. But it wasn't one of the things ruining that world.

I had a look at the implications of the Facebook Metaverse on emissions from computing. It is scary.
For the ideal VR experience, you need a network bandwidth of 1.6Gbit/s. To watch an HD video at 4K currently, you need 25Mbits/s; 8K would be 100Mbits/s.
So VR requires 64x more bandwidth than 4K video!
Ignoring the infrastructure emissions, purely running this from a cloud data centre effectively means a 64x increase in energy consumption and therefore in carbon emissions.
When I researched my talk about Frugal Computing, I did not discuss VR, as none of the studies I referenced considered it. But with a giant like Facebook behind it, VR might become a very considerable part of our lives.
That would be a disaster: already, emissions from computing are dominated by video. VR will make this many, many times worse.
The only bright side is that with current technologies, there is not enough electricity in the world to power this ideal-experience VR revolution.
