Or, we could just build our own Mastodon client with Common Lisp.

Took me less time to build this with #LispWorks #CAPI than desparately trying to fetch that data in the Web UI.

Who knows what this will morph into. :p

if you clicked on a "Facebook uses a VPN to collect your app usage data" story, might I suggest "normal companies dump your interactions with them to Facebook"

#CAPI is hard to see with client-side tools, so a bigger deal than the #privacy media usually covers. But lots of legit and other companies doing it no matter what software you have

(that headline is probably an understatement -- companies send your info to $FB whether or not you have an account there)

It's just so much fun to play around with CAPI from LispWorks while watching StrangeNewWorlds. I'm making my first steps - but it's just so rediculously well thought trough and documented! I'm planning a little math game for my kids where they have to solve challenges and can collect nuts (points). Can't wait to showcase it here, at some time in the near future 🙂​

Many immigrant workers face a grim future without retirement benefits. A California bill could help (www.latimes.com)

California AB 1536 would make undocumented immigrants eligible for the Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI), which aids elderly, blind and disabled residents.
