.@mhall119 is developing an ethical alternative to #MeetUp called #GetTogether.
There's already a flagship site up and running:
https://gettogether.community/
The dev is working on #ActivityPub support and is requesting feedback on what more needs to be done:

Working out of a cafe on Crete, with their site address hackerscafe.gr plastered all over.
Does the URL resolve? No.
Tried it on port 70 too, in the hope that they might be a bit traditional, but no luck.
I work remotely within a team.
One guy lost it because I spoke to him on chat, when I asked to see his work in a branch, based on his standup summary.
He wants to get a detailed spec prior to starting his task. At no point are you to talk to him about it. Or even ask about his work in progress. You're only to expect the final result.
Not sure how this will unfold. But it seems very odd.
The widespread verb vituttaa "to feel angry and depressed" originates from its meaning "to want vagina".
Years ago, Emacs Wiki would display national days on all its pages, on that day. I felt it was a nice way to celebrate our international diversity. One country, one day, one message. So, on Jan 1 it would show 'Sudan, National Day, Haiti, Independence Day, Cuba, Liberation Day'. And on Feb 11 it would show 'Iran, Victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran'. Once or twice concerned users told me that the site appeared to be hacked. Good times! 😂 #smallstories
There's a Richard Stallman message for every occasion.
The code from crossclj is now open source.
I'm guessing that this is in reaction to the release of https://cljdoc.xyz/
Thanks to Microsoft, GitLab will be the new go to place for open source projects.
Or if nothing else, at least there will be more a diversification of where the projects are hosted.
I get the impression that people who are excited by Linux on the desktop have just suffered intensely in a corporate environment and are now subjecting themselves to some form of penance.
An Emacs mode inspired by Atom mode:

Which reminds me of a mode inspired by a Vim mode which was inspired by an Emacs mode (whose name I can't track down!).

So the targeted-ads-industry is expected to lose 60% of revenue due to #GDPR. Of course this means massive loss of jobs. And people seem to be genuinely sad about this, even privacy minded people, even lots of people on mastodon. And I just don't get it. If you are working for the targeted ads industry, you're working for the wrong side. I'm not going to be sad for you. Especially in tech, where it's comparatively easy to find work, there's no excuse for going there.
A nice presentation on #clojure linters:
"They used a manual [...] which showed how to extend #Emacs, but didn't say it was a #programming. So the #secretaries, who believed they couldn't do programming, weren't scared off. They read the manual, discovered they could do useful things and they learned to program."

@rysiek Have you seen what vscode (and not only vscode) electron build does? It's even more scary... https://twitter.com/b1ack0wl/status/995123876404318208
