You are posting as @screwlisp@me.dm , where you have 41 followers, as opposed to @screwtape, where you have 1.3K followers. I see that you also have @screwlisp@gamerplus.org (9 followers)
This is an excellent way NOT to communicate with people.
I asked you about today's show (@screwtape) 5 hours ago, which I guess you didn't see if you're only looking at @screwlisp at either of its addresses today.

Yes! Sorry about this. Once user-access to mastodon.sdf.org comes back up (it's been down for about 2-3 days, though the instance responds to external servers) I will migrate to this instance.

in reply to Digital Mark λ ☕️ 🕹 🙄 • • •I didn't understand that the problem was a server being down (in some sense or another).
Posting from an alt account that few follow isn't really an effective workaround.
Then again, I don't know what a good workaround would be.
Ideas?

in reply to screwlisp • • •I enjoyed this essay and the show, as always 😀
I am a big supporter of reinventing the wheel. It doesn't make any sense from a capitalist perspective, but most things of value are not actually valued by that system. Its not the "Wheel 2.0" that is important, it is the knowledge I personally have gained (and can hopefully impart on other novice wheel-builders). Ultimately, I am the "product", not what I make

in reply to Pat • • •Thanks for the kind words and additional detail. I think you're right should bring capitalism into the picture. It's sort of the driving force between why everybody has an impatience about just doing it a certain way. In an automated society, if we survive at all, we may need to rethink the purpose of people. I'd prefer a Star Trek kind of outcome, but we don't seem to be going in that direction.
