I always remember to check my agenda. But I have a cheat "catch all" perpetual task that I spend hours on when I'm really reading articles or doom scrolling...

Mastodon is another example of a service that works great in Emacs. I'm posting this from mastodon.el!
Is there a good way to post to a #mastodon instance via email?
last week my #orgmode started having severe issues (which is a major work issue), apparently not loading a crucial file. Today I was having problems with my bluetooth headphones, too; connected but not seen as an audio device. Suddenly everything is working again. I don't know why. #GhostsInTheMachine #emacs #guix #bluetooth

Well, lets see if they care anymore if I expose this shit on twitter. If you have an account there feel free to show some support:

I don’t understand why people think Mastodon is difficult. It seems pretty straightforward, and the separate servers are no biggie. I’m enjoying this fresh start here, like moving to a new apartment!

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

My favorite hashtag is #HugOps and I'm glad it's made the transition to Mastodon.
It's used by engineers to express empathy and support for production engineers battling a system problem.
Engineers often give #HugOps to engineers in other companies, often competitors. It's the exact opposite of schadenfreude.
Right now, #HugOps to the mastohost folks keeping that ship afloat in the face of a huge influx of new usage.
But also #HugOps to the remaining production engineers at Twitter.
I've been looking for certain #clojure swag. I finally found some! https://www.teepublic.com/mask/8637677-clojure-programming-language #FaceMask #ClojureMerchandise

Seeing people with coding ability commenting on features they want in Mastodon, many of them framing their insights as if there is a bug.
Almost all ideas I have seen so far could be implemented in a client or a relay. For ones that can't, there are pull requests. For ones that are declined, downstream forking is feasible.
It's #OpenSource & based on a truly open standard, #ActivityPub. How about we frame ideas positively & look for places to contribute? This is not a walled garden run by VCs.

I just connected to a #vsjoyride REPL on @pappapez's computer via @Tailscale with "lein repl :connect <ip>:<nrepl-port> 😅 and controlled his slides for the upcoming presentation at London Clojurians #clojure
Accidentally left my Dvorak keyboard at home, am using my old one. Going back to QWERTY is slow going, especially with my emacs muscle-memory.

A really nice talk relating data to radioactive material. A bit of a spook show, but with some really good points. https://idlewords.com/talks/haunted_by_data.htm

In the past weeks I had fun with biff. It taught me a ton abt backend programming. I upgraded my project several times with no problems. Only problem was me trying to fight the framework bc I'm only used to do SPAs. Time to remove the printlns. #Clojure https://biffweb.com/
Sick day after sick (and computer-sick) weekend. Yep; 317 new emails, split between the categories.

As a gnus user and an rss aficionado, this is cool. However, is my experience, elfeed is understandable champion of RSS reading it emacs.
RSS is wonderful if you are a "stalker" (aka "lurker") on social media, but what if you are a Browser or like to join conversation?
Having been pointed to the Mastodontic #RSS facility by @Tupp_ed I've discovered that you can read RSS as a group in #Emacs #Gnus (yes, the zombie ...
