I want to migrate my account from bookwyrm.social to a different instance of bookwyrm. How can it be done?

I oversaw the creation of a app for room five years ago. It has been good, and has been in heavy use since then -- but suddenly has some issues, probably from logic -- and I desperately want a a la .

Another great function: because it supports to post, it is possible for me to send my same daily standup message to the three different groups to which it applies. You can multi-post when the recipient groups don't share a view.

I use the excellent app; then it's easy to open a given link in a text-browser is pretty nice for avoiding annoying ads (could also use Spray mode to speed read it, if I want, instead of the two-pane reading view).

The data coming through the pipeline on one view was missing a crucial piece. It was sweet to be able to add it to the back-end function that is gathering the data, evaluate the form, and boom! It was there for my front-end view as soon as I used my usual endpoint.

@worldsendless Muting users is the best. You can mute for a short period of time or indefinitely.

You can also set up filters on your account settings to remove it.

Or, just keep your live-tooting in a thread and make all but the first toot "unlisted". That way people can turn off replies in their Home and they'll only see the first in the thread.

seems to be a practice that is uncomfortable to some users, who curate their feeds to avoid noise. How do you feel about of events as they unfold?

Every time I have to resort to using a string selector in , I feel dirty.

I have my to both a file and database. It appears to just STOP after a few minutes of operation -- but we have no idea why. Restarting fixes it for a few minutes. WHY?

In the coming weeks I'll be live streaming implementing ActivityPub using Clojure! Planning to stream a few times a week.

I'll probably do my first stream tomorrow morning (somewhere around 7~8am UTC), but it will be episode zero, i.e. a messy stream where i sort out my setup and other prep work. First proper stream will be on Friday!

I'll post updates and stream times here. Official hashtag: #ActivityPubInClojure

Ah! I got an Android rss feed reader that can pull in my opml files cleanly. What's more, it holds free² values, so no adds or centralization! play.google.com/store/apps/det

emacs, lisp, guix, guile, scheme excitement thread 

@cwebber Yay! Power and freedom! #emacs, #guix and #lisp allow me to bend reality to whatever looks good to me and gets the job done. No weird contraints imposed by language designers to hold me back or make we feel like I'm "doing it wrong". Both #emacs and #guix have some weird point of no return and passing it is almost a physical experience. #clojure for business hours and #scheme for spare time.

Remember when always-listening Amazon Alexa was going to be inevitable?

How about Google Glass?

Big Tech PR always tells us that each new #SurveillanceCapitalism technology is somehow going to be inevitable until…it isn't.

Today's "inevitable" surveillance is #adtech built into web browsers. Maybe it will be the next ALPR and actually get widely deployed, or, maybe it will go the way of other once-inevitable surveillance systems
