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

An interesting article on how to use #babashka in git hooks!

#AdventOfCode teaches you the rarely used parts of your language. I grep'd our ~100kloc #clojure code base and noticed that not a single time we use `reductions`. `frequencies` we use 4 times. When doing #AdventOfCode those functions are frequently used!
What began as issues with the routing became other blinding issues with our #logging apparently ceasing -- both to file and to database -- for unknown reason after just a few minutes. #TroubleshootingCascade
Gotta say, this is pretty cool. Finally some nice #json viewing in #emacs! https://github.com/iwahbe/jsonian
@bthalpin @publicvoit @mhd I've wondered why those "accept" buttons just work...
abruptly my three-monitor setup, which has been working for years, stopped because it couldn't find my 1600x900 mode. An hour later it is good again. #GhostsInTheMachine
I have never viewed epub before os thought I would try it. Because of dependencies and non-github repos, the #emacs #straight.el install had a few more steps. https://orys.us/uw

@jay@emacs.ch Were you using Nitter for the twitter reading?
I am a big fan of the browser webapps, but am trying out the RSS elfeed option as part of my war against doom scrolling
@publicvoit Well, I'm still in the process of having that experience :) I have RSS to everyone, but I don't have a way of syndicating my own content yet
I just added most of my qoto followings to my #RSS reader. Let's play with that a bit.

#introduction
Hi there! My name is Scott Starkey, and I'm a Clojure back-end developer for CataBoom, a gamification marketing company. In my spare time, I'm also a part-time professional magician and a probably psychic entertainer.
Other interests include the international language Esperanto, board games (design and playing). I'm an illustrator / cartoonist for my game design projects.

@veer66 By the way, I'm not sure if it matters to you, but #emacs has a GREAT #telegram interface, #telega. That alone would me on Telegram https://github.com/zevlg/telega.el/

Scittle: execute Clojure(Script) directly from browser script tags via SCI!
v0.4.11 released: you can now use re-frame from scittle!
You can play around with re-frame here:
@avelino interesting idea. I'm hypocritical here since I actually do no protection of my phone number, but the phone number itself is the weakpoint, right? I respect several commenters who hate to regard phone numbers as personal identifiers, and somehow dwell in burner phones etc.
Related to this topic might be #DeltaChat @delta , which has all the decentralized characteristics of email itself. The concept is beautiful, although I couldn't make the leap a year or two ago when I tried it.
