Clojure is an interesting language that will improve the way you work and think with other languages. A passionate community, but there are very few "starter" Clojure jobs; they mostly expect you to have years of experience.

I don't think anyone could go with doing the "Clojure For The Brave And True" book which is online and available in dead-tree form. I liked it so much, I bought the book.

It's a Lisp language which is the oldest kind. Instead of "object oriented", I think if it as verb oriented. Each statement is a verb (function) possibly followed by all the nouns you want to apply it to. Easy peasy, right?

People complain that there's "too many parentheses". People like to complain about dumb stuff.

Wiz ,

Clojure is a Lisp and a damn fine one,

Every time someone says LEMMY IS JUST LIKE REDDIT a puppy dies.

I'm not OP, but Chromium-based and Gecko-based might be the duopoly?

An update regarding the future of m/AskKbin (where we are headed towards) - AskKbin - kbin.social ( kbin.social )

Hello everyone, check out my announcement post linked above and if you don't know who I am, check out my past post to learn more about me and It would mean a lot of you show your support for my future iniatives inside the fediverse!...

Wiz ,

Why use a discord when you have ... Other tools?

Wiz ,

Okie doke. Carry on, good sir/ma'am/other.

Mastodon Incorporates as a Non-Profit in the US ( wedistribute.org )

As a project, Mastodon has operated under the umbrella of Mastodon GmbH, a German company that benefited from non-profit status with the German government. Despite all indications that they were doing everything right, Mastodon GmbH recently had its non-profit status revoked, resulting in the team to seek an alternative....

Wiz ,

Thanks for the link. That's an interesting community!

Wiz ,

We need to up our stats. Get some AI bots in here posting content!

Wiz ,

Thank you. I'm glad you could see my vision. Now please give me money for my new Lemmy IPO idea.

Wiz ,

Fedilab app is now free, and it works on PeerTube (and many other Fedi platforms). I paid for it previously. It's good.

Wiz ,

Linux Mint Debian Edition is 32 bit

No ads ... Yet.

It was funded by venture capitalists that demand payback.

They are currently in enshittification stage 1 where everything is wonderful and free. The users have not been monetized yet.

Wiz ,

That would be nice for the Fediverse. I'd follow that.

Wiz ,

I read their posted business plan, and there is no way on God's green earth that what they have in their business plan will raise the money they need.

Wiz ,

It sounds like you will only run Chrome on it anyway.

You misspelled Firefox there!

Wiz ,

Yes, and Codeberg just announced that they forked Redis.

https://social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg/112139742595817683

As it turns out, nobody needs Redis now!

Wiz ,

Redis is dead.

Long live Redict, which is a Redis fork maintained by Codeberg.

Wiz ,

What happens when the LLC runs out of money to run / administrate the server?

Wiz ,

Phanpy.social is a great frontend for Mastodon that looks even better on a phone.

Wiz ,

And yet, bsky still lacks basic functionality that Masto had years ago.

Wiz ,

What if there was a class action lawsuit against Discord from the Mastodon admins?

Wiz ,

I just discovered it recently, and started adding stuff. I feel a lot more comfortable about my coffee here than other places. I like it!

However, I'm worried that future employers may ask me to "share my GitHub" with them, leading me to try to explain to a potential employer what "a Codeberg" is.

is making the watching experience worse on and Microsoft Edge.

I didn't believe it the first time I heard abt it, since it sounded more like a conspiracy theory than a actual thing, but it's true. Google does add 5s timeout specifically to Firefox and Edge users when they try to watch a video on YT. If you want to know more about it, Mental Outlaw make a very good video abt it (Link: https://youtu.be/v4gXhmzQztE ). I think Google did this, to get people moving to Chrome since the majority will think this is a browser issue, nobody would expect YouTube to purposely doing this. In the attached Screenshot you can see that YouTube checks the user agent of browsers to see if it's Edge, Firefox or not. You can bypass this by changing your User agent to chrome.

Edit: Due a lot of people saying a lot of different things abt it, I want to say that I'm not 100% sure abt how exactly this works, there is a inbuild delay by Google, but who is actually affected, there are a lot of different opinions abt it. I wasn't able to verify this myself in LibreWolf, but this could be the case due my intensive hardening I did and this is just a result of what I found in the code and what Mental Outlaw and others shared across social media, if you got different or additional infos abt this feel free to comment and I suggest everyone ti also check the comment section.

Yes, but omg that font and color scheme.

Wiz ,

Have you checked out Pixelfed lately? The main developer is going like gangbusters over the last couple of months. It’s maturing quickly. I don’t think that guy sleeps.

Wiz ,

Mostly an Insta clone. Every post starts with one to ten pictures, with text below. So it’s more suited to posting photos than text.

I actually think it’s better than Instagram in some ways now. That being said, some of the instances are a little slow, but that’s not the fault of the software.

Wiz ,

never make unconscious purchase decisions. Consciously set a list of what you want, and follow it.

Yes, but how do you become aware of product you consciously want?

Wiz ,

My question would be: When should we expect the Fediverse version of Stack Overflow?
