#Defn #clojure has a new episode out. Apparently soundcloud doesn't make RSS links obvious for everything, so I grabbed theirs from reversed the URL from Apple Podcasts and plugged it into my readers. https://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:220484243/sounds.rss

Solution: take the link https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/general-conference-podcast/id1490483249 plug it in to https://www.labnol.org/podcast/ . The result will come out https://psd-podcast.s3.amazonaws.com/XML/1-audio-eng.xml , which you can give to your #RSS app.
The language #Clojure and #ClojureScript languages are so stable, with breaking changes being frowned upon in the culture. But breaking in the (frankly, awesome!) tooling has been my difficulty as I maintain a dozen projects of varying ages. It is a real problem. #cider #nrepl #figwheel #piggyback
Sometimes, randomly, my #Firefox cannot connect to anything. I don't know if it's from my changing locations (wifi networks) or what; other things connect fine. I have to restart the FireFox process. I have no idea why. #Troubleshooting #Error #Problem

@worldsendless
couple of benefits that apply to both #nix and #guix: declarative configuration core to the OS, you can rollback a bad install, or even a bad boot configuration at boot time, you can have confidence your config will wont break for the same version, for example, my previous config is possibly 6-8 months hold, I should be able to just "switch" it and it will work. this is what i've experienced in my multiple migrations :D

Would I recommend #emacs #EXWM as daily driver? No. But I also won't stop living in it. #GlassCannon https://orys.us/v6
It's hard to say how much I love the ad-free, bloat-free experience of #SafeTwitch #twitch . Thanks, #FireFox #LibRedirect #plugin
I just got mildly stung by the fact that #PHP is #DynamicallyTyped. Somehow on one #WordPress site a foreach over an array started choking because its datasource included a boolean, on our dev server only.

The Rust project now has an official presence on Mastodon! ✨
We'll be posting the same on our Twitter and Mastodon accounts, so you won't miss anything on either platform.

Hey folks, I've seen a lot of talk going around about adblockers lately. I worked in the advertising technology and security industry for five years and the one core piece of advice I have is:
Holy fuck never give an advertiser your data. You cannot believe how bad it is. Don't. I run three layers of ad block protection and I'd run more if it was feasible. If you want to support creators give them money.
Ugh. Just did a 1:1 #VideoCall on #MicrosoftTeams and it was awful; between the fact that I was on Web, and he was on desktop with a new update applied this morning, it was basically a photo with audio. We could hear fine, but his efforts to share a document were useless as I saw stale, 45-second old updates, and cancelling that, even video of his face was slow to update. I shared my screen and as far as I know it was fine for him, but the experience was clearly far worse than he wanted. I actually had a Team video call with him a couple months ago and it was ok, though we didn't do any sort of content/screen sharing in that meeting. Today was almost unusable; it was almost just a phone call, until I shared my screen.

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

I feel like linkedin islike that ex who is obsessed with you so they just keep sending you messages every day and you dont even know she still exists cause you had all her shit redirected to the spam folder since you broke up.
Meanwhile Twitter/X is like that ex who gets hooked on meth and you just feel sad for them but keep your distance more cause your scared for your life.
