Selecting packages in Emacs Doom like serving up your first plate at a buffet.

telega.el is pretty nifty. Let me log in via QR code, and shows my recent conversations.

But I’m gonna try tg because I notice some reluctance from my brain on keeping Emacs open all the time.

You might think this chain of actions is ADHD-driven, and you’d be right. But not necessarily in the way you think.

realized vtubers are in the same family that contains furries and relaxed my apprehension about talking anime avatars

somewhat

though if motivation and patterns in the wild are sufficiently different maybe less the same family and more the same order

further study is required

@tithonium this one popped up in my job alerts. You may have seen it already, but just in case:

@ceejbot well no more of that other stuff means you’re gaining a single point of failure, so there’s that.

hackers.town: 2023-08-09 Wed 09:46

@ceejbot Zope!

Sorry that’s not a thing you’re gaining or a punchline. I was just trying to figure out what “it’s a server and a database!” reminded me of.

@ceejbot but that would make it like an expeditionary journal, or PBS wilderness documentary. I think that would be awesome.

Can you do a posh British accent? Or better yet, that Melbourne-area Australian accent? It’s up to you.

Mind you I can see why middle management types are so enamored by LLMs for content generation, since so much of their required communication is opaque nonsense in the first place, unfettered by logic or verifiability.

Arc is plenty featureful, but going back to Safari as default browser on macOS for the sake of one less Chromium app on my desktop.

Next up: the Electron apps.

@independentpen @bright_helpings incidentally this can also be considered a gentle nudge for folks to stay focused in alt text.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but that doesn’t obligate us to use a thousand words describing it.

I notice I complain about a lot of tech trends from IoT to NFT to AI to adtech to the constant push for the modern mainframe that is the cloud and ponder whether I should be a little more accepting and immediately my internal advisor responds “no. All that stuff sucks.”

Pups are being rambunctious and rowdy. I take them outside so @IamMrsGeek can have her meeting in peace, and of course:

@zkat I process “users” as a sort of generic default, when you don’t know what to call them and “customers” seems inaccurate but “people” sounds too respectful.

@lilithsaintcrow Heck, even “a lie” gives super-mega-autocomplete a lot of credit.

But if we submit it as a legal brief, that’s a lie.

@christian It’s weird how brains work! Every time I split things into multiple vaults I end up with a primary vault and a bunch of neglected domain vaults.

But I’m tracking a timeline more than topics. “What was I doing last year? Hm interesting. Six months ago? Interesting. Five minutes? Oh yeah. Hm. Interesting.”

hackers.town: 2023-08-02 Wed 06:32

@christian Oh lord that is a painfully familiar path.
