So the university encouraged the students to build this tool, and then punished them for it? Can it even get worse 🤦

@Jennifer @racingdaily @aral wow, the US really doesn't care for justice huh 😮

@badrihippo@fosstodon.org avatar

Just learnt how to use in ! :emacs: 🚀

badrihippo,
@badrihippo@fosstodon.org avatar

@aru hmm let me actually try 😉

More "how to" than explanation though:

🔑 Press Ctrl-X, Ctrl-( the second one is open parenthesis

⌨️ Make whatever keystrokes you want to record

🔒 Press Ctrl-X, Ctrl-) to save

🤖 Press Ctrl-X, E whenever you want to run the same keystroke sequence, and then keep pressing E to run it once more!

The reason that worked for me though is I've seen people use keyboard macros before (albeit on vi, not emacs 😅)

@badrihippo@fosstodon.org avatar

@aru yep, that's essentially it 🙂

And it leaves the cursor wherever it ended up. So one gotcha to watch out for is, if your key combination needs to start (for example) at the beginning of a line, then make sure to put it back at the beginning of a line when you end it (ready for the next round of replay) ➰

There are also ways to name the macro and save it, etc., but I'm yet to get to that stage...

Sigh, website for one of the local indie radio stations is now behind "Deflect," a Cloudflare-like DDoS protection thing. Which means their show podcast feeds now serve HTML "Verifying if your connection is secure" pages (which require a cookie store and JavaScript to pass) instead of RSS.

Hate these things so much.

@ieure if It has Cloudfare it's not a website ⛔

(If it has something like Cloudfare then something that isn't like a website)

@yogthos yes, I'm yet to find an LLM that doesn't have this bias. Shows the power of propaganda?

badrihippo,
@badrihippo@fosstodon.org avatar

@yogthos ...because LLMs are essentially a regurgitation of the media they're trained on 🤖

What I meant, though, was that all the AI I've seen seem to have this specific bias of being very vague and "it's complicated" when asked about anything relating to Palestine. Which perhaps tells us where the biases of the majority of media lie (or at least lay)? 🇵🇸

Do we have a for public repos? :git:

Right now my "default" is to go to GitHub, and then maybe GitLab and Codeberg...but that leaves out all the other hosts out there. Once happens we'll need it even more :fedi:

(By the way, I say "git" because that's where most code is, but if other kinds of repos are supported, even better! 🔍 )

@farooqkz same; I'll keep it on my list to do someday. Although if anyone's up for stealing the idea in the meantime they're welcome 🕵️ :git:

badrihippo,
@badrihippo@fosstodon.org avatar

@farooqkz my projects are always "is it even going to happen" so I haven't got to the stage of thinking which ones are better 😅 what you say makes sense though! And now that you mention it, the things I've worked with over a period of time (software or otherwise) have usually ended up being very satisfying 😇
