Prot Asks: Dimos about Emacs interconnectedness, collective work, and The Conspiracy Club

In this new video series, I talk to anybody who is interested to have a video call with me (so do contact me if you want!). The topics cover anything related to Emacs, technology, and life in general. More here: https://protesilaos.com/prot-asks/.

In this video, I talk with Dimos from Greece about Emacs as an integrated computing environment. I learn how Dimos started using Emacs 10 years ago while studying mathematics: what is the appeal of Lisp and how that opened the way for using Emacs as an integrated computing environment. We also discuss the work Dimos does, which is part of a technology collective called "Stin Priza" that provides a variety of web services. In this context we explore themes of ownership and of belonging to a community or a place. I then ask about personal interests and other activities, to learn about some of the naturalist activities Dimos does as well as the podcast that Dimos co-hosts called "The Conspiracy Club": it is a show that has been going on for five years now, which discusses conspiracy theories and other mysteries with an open mind and a playful attitude, neither adopting the theories nor debunking them.
