I think I learned the MySQL tidbit recently from an episode of the podcast Libre Lounge. What you ask for is not a bad description of what the hosts of that podcast do: deep dives into open source technologies and discussions of how they ca

I use it in Firefox all the time with no difficulties. The only thing that doesn't work for me is selecting an external (USB PnP) microphone, but apparently that's due to a longstanding bug in Firefox that Jitsi is doing its best

Can confirm, 10 minutes is all it takes to go through the steps in this quick install guide on a Debian system: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/quick-in...

Another thing that's great about Jitsi is how easy it is to self-host it. If you are using a system with the apt package manager (such Debian or Ubuntu), you basically only have to run two commands: https://github.com/j

Maybe some of the stuff Fractalide is doing? I vaguely remember some impressive stuff from a FOSDEM talk.

Don't dismiss Racket too soon, I would say. The developer of ActivityLog2 has been doing a lot to integrate charts and graphs into Racket GUI applications, and the program itself ( https://github.com/alex-hhh/Activi

Cool, thanks for chiming in here. > I don't think I could ever go back to working in a non-democratic workplace. I would love to read a bit more about that sometime.

Thanks for this! Didn't know about the watermark extension, that looks useful. I just started working with the Guix kernel for more easily reproducible and reusable notebooks. I suppose that's an alternative to using a conda envir

I used to assign a short piece by Luhmann on how to read that describes his note-taking technique with some concrete examples. At the time I used my own translation (based on the text in Short Cuts published by Zweitausendeins), but I see

Of course there was disinformation ("fake news") before 2016 -- nobody would dispute that -- but it wasn't really framed as a crisis yet. So I would suggest you don't just dismiss this whole essay on the basis of seman
