I've found my old CD #music collection and have been ripping them. Serious question: is online (Spotify, Pandora, etc) more shareable than having the digital files on your machine?

There’s a lot of consternation in the fediverse lately about instances blocking each other, admins fighting, blocklists, and the like. If you’re on an instance that blocks other communities you want to participate in, politely ask your moderators/administrators to reconsider. If they disagree, I recommend moving to a different instance rather than a prolonged argument. Some administrators prefer erring on the side of over blocking and protecting their user base than being permissive and expose their userbase to riff raff or, in some instances, just to avoid the appearance of being too permissive to other instances.
Life is short. Find an instance that works for you.
Found it: `guix install opus-tools` which includes opusenc, which was the command I need for abcde to rip my audio to opus.

That "smart lighting" from Philips is about to spy on you in new ways you can't control -- naturally the company is claiming it's to protect you. This is Trump-level lying.

I made a #static site using #ShadowCLJS #ClojureScript . The last step was to remove the #CLJS. But I still use Shadow to start up a local server and explore my static site in-browser. It works nicely as a quick server. #clojure
I used #emacs `find-and-replace-regexp` to reformat my todo list to include the #github issue number (also featuring Anzu) #regexp https://orys.us/v2

With all due respect to projects like cinelog, #OpenSource is just the first step -- #MovieReviews should be both free and #decentralized. In the absence of a solution like bookwyrm for movies, I'm doing it the old-fashioned way with the #moviestodon hashtag.
I just had an unexpected error with a #babashka VPN script I run every day. I was re-using a shell that was in a directory of a #Clojure project and got a NPE and "java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working directory." It never occurred to me that Babashka might care about my pwd... I suspect I've been missing something valuable.

each day I have a "personal study" #emacs #orgmode #agenda item. Part of it is daily reading of a text file book. I bookmark my progress and then link to the bookmark from the orgmode entry; each day I just follow that link, update the bookmark when I finish reading, and the next day I can just follow day's link to pick up my reading. With #spray.el speed reading, btw.

Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act now to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice: https://u.fsf.org/40a #EndDRM #Enshittification #Google #WebStandards #DefectiveByDesign
Current state of #debugging: #GithubAction experiences a timeout that I do not -- checking for timeouts on something takes a whopping 30+ seconds, when I have no problem getting it done under the 5-second testing timeout limit. Next stop: figure out WHY. Suspect: I'm doing something that the server's PostGres version is bad at?

With enough users, SOMEONE will depend on observed functionality of your API, regardless of whether it is "supported" or "deprecated" or simply unknown to the author(s). See also https://xkcd.com/1172/ and some deeper explation at https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1172:_Workflow .

@freemo why is there a disconnect so that I am having trouble following or being followed by a friend on the @tech.lgbt instance? I hear that #qoto might be on people's "bad" list?

This is a @w3c Community Group. This means W3C provides the mailing list and forum, but does not endorse the group. It has no formal standing.
It is *not* a standards-track document.
