Events of late have gotten me to reconsider (again!) my usage of social media, in particular what I give to it. If you follow me on Instagram, I've routinely posted photos of my goings about town there. Henceforth I’m only posting those moments here on this blog and sharing them on Mastodon (@kickingvegas.sfba.social) and Bluesky (@kickingvegas.bsky.social). If you follow me on Instagram, I invite you to do likewise on either my Mastodon or Bluesky account. I will be severely curtailing my usage of Meta platforms from now on.

For readers who use RSS, I invite you to subscribe to the main feed of this blog. Readers interested in only certain topics can find feeds for specific tags I’ve put on blog posts. Two such feeds are for Photo (my slice of life photos) and Emacs (posts I’ve made about my Emacs journey)

Readers looking for my rationale in doing this are invited to do a deep reading of “History in the making: Whistleblowers and big tech” by Mar Hicks. The article captures many of the events that inform my thinking on social media today.

Finally, if you are new to my website, welcome! This website talks a lot about computers but not exclusively so. Hopefully you will find something of interest.
