Compared to Emacs and my website, I have little patience for tech that's supposed to 'just work" and offers "affordable" rates and "expert support." Aka stuff you got to use in the office.

@hackernews once again folks: it's not a question of if, it's a question of when. Do you know where your data is? Do you have a backup?#cloud #privacy

If you don't know it by now, if you're curious or want to learn more about #emacs or #lisp then you should really consider taking lesson with Prot, the guy who built the #modus themes and #denote . About $20 USD a lesson or $15 if you're a student. Not just a prolific Emacs guy, but also a patient and compassionate teacher. You won't be disappointed. https://protesilaos.com/coach/(He didn't ask me to post this, he doesn't even use mastodon to the best of my knowledge)

@kev @victorvicpal @mairin It feels like people tend to scream "wtf?!" first, yell and flip tables, and then, maybe, look into reason. Another example of a person getting frustrated, and rightfully so. That part I understand. What I don't understand is when given a reasonable explanation, they respond in anger, and worse, other people who have little to do with what's going on are jumping on the wagon with angry comments. This is not the first time. This is sad.

@jtr makes me go and say "back in my day..." but back in my day, trolls like these were left and right, so I moved away from social media. I left Facebook, twitter, and slowly turned away from communities or Reddit. Yelling, it seems, was the default in those places.So I came to Mastodon and it has been good for me for years. Still is. But people are people, and as the number increase, so is the number of possible trolls. Unfortunately a human phenomenon.

@SwiftOnSecurity so you're finally offering yourself as a world leader. About time.

I found my first digital camera 📷 burried in my trunk of memories. I left the batteries inside so it’s probably not to be used again…

Happy Thanksgiving from NYC, everyone!We’ll have a vegan day, and I’m already drooling. My sister’s a magician, and my mom has unbeatable home recipes. Hope you enjoy yours, if you celebrate 🙂

Emacs and OSM (Open Street Maps) are a natural match, so it just makes sense they work very well together out of the box.Built-in search function, zooming in and out, and org-mode links with a single keystroke to locations. Amazing. If you’re an Emacs user, grab it now!GNU ELPA - osm: https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/osm.html#emacs #osm #maps #travel

Has anyone else noticed Reddit started blocking connections from VPN and prompts you to log in or turn it off? #VPN #Reddit

Mouse introduced me to their friend and a guard at a local pet store last night. I’ve walked these streets a hundred times, but I don’t see the things they do. It’s like discovering a hidden world in the world I know each time.

I haven’t used this coffee ☕️ beaker in a while. Very fitting when I’m writing about org-mode experiments.

I caved and bought a pixel 9a. It’s heavily discounted. Getting rid of grapheneOS just seems to be too much of a pain.

You know what, I like that I’m bald. I can always joke with other folks at work (“Are you sure you want to make this a regular meeting? You’ll end up like me!” - at which point I point my head and get a laugh or two).If there was any period in my life when someone judged me for being bald (say, a potential date) then screw it, I didn’t need them anyway. It’s a low-level “no shitty people” filter in that regard, kind of like being ... https://taonaw.com/2025/11/05/you-know-what-i-like.html
