My main issue with Emacs Lisp at this point (due to my own ignorance, of course) is not knowing about possible existing functions that could solve my problem. I'm used to searching documentation visually, reading over docs where I can see namespaces of classes / functions that handle my desired task.
Is the workflow really to call M-x apropos and hope that whatever I need will be matched by my search query?
Is it more recalling some function after reading others' code?
@powRSS got a small shout out at the Düsseldorf Homebrew Website Club meeting from today!
Another HWC Düsseldorf has taken place this week, where we shared what we’ve been up to with our personal sites. Nina continued to write more and more for her homepage as well as work on the code. She started adding music to her blog posts. Jochen continues to make selfhosted tools and recently added a (private) “Archive” site where he adds podcasts episodes to, and transcribes the audio into text. I recently added the latest Polaroid to my homepage.

The Lurking LLM on Usenet
Yukihiro Matsumoto:
“The computers don't care. We humans care about the effort we pay. Often people, especially computer engineers, focus on the machines. They think, ‘By doing this, the machine will run faster. By doing this, the machine will run more effectively. By doing this, the machine will something something something.’ They are focusing on machines. But in fact we need to focus on humans, on how humans care about doing programming or operating the application of the machines.”
I wonder if syndication on Gemini made the protocol always feel like an afterthought.
There is no incentive to prioritize Gemini when your content is a mirror of www / gopher.
Same goes for subdomains. It’s not a vote of confidence.

Text is no longer the primary medium of the web. The majority of people favor richer multimedia like images and videos, so advertisers have put the full weight of their marketing budgets behind the platforms that facilitate the distribution of this type of content.
The result? On large sites it doesn't matter that articles are inaccessible and unreadable. Written articles on newspaper websites are nothing more than a vehicle to serve advertisements and capture clicks.
