@holgerschurig Done! Thanks for the tip. I love GraphViz. I export an SVG file with tool tips to show note titles. Not as interactive as JavaScript, but still useful.

I have inherited 25% of a house in the Netherlands. But my dear uncle was a bit of a hoarder, so I have my work cut out next week.

Question for users:

How can I prevent Emacs from creating ~/.emacs.d when running emacs -Q?

When I run my configured Emacs afterwards it tries to use ~/.emacs.d instead of ~/.config.emacs

Reading up on tonight. @danderzei posted https://lucidmanager.org/productivity/taking-notes-with-emacs-denote/ with some good information on using it. Looking for more resources to understand how it works before I take the time to set it up.

@greg hi Greg, I use the Denote file naming convention for almost everything now. It goes far beyond Emacs

If all I gotta do is flash flesh or hole to get Zuck fucked, great.

That Genocidist is not worth my time. Nor are his enablers.

As piracy is a radical act of the preservation of art, so too is Christian/normie defined "indecency" a radical act of preserving actual decency & integrity.

Oh and solidarity with my sex worker siings out there.

Capitalism is the problem. Not sex work/ers.

@kinyutaka @paninid @hannu_ikonen bootlegging is also the only reason copies of the original Star Wars still exist.

@kinyutaka @paninid @hannu_ikonen the key to archiving electronic content and keeping it available for future generations is to have as many as possible copies. It is a favour to humanity.

Funny how white people who migrate to another country are expats, but brown people are migrants or refugees. An expat is somebody who is sent by a company or a government to another country. If you voluntarily go to another country, you are an immigrant.

Voting NO for a voice to Parliament with the excuse of not enough information is a cover for hidden racism that makes you sound like you care about details.

@taylorlorenz In the 1990s I used Flight Simulator to fly between the Twin Towers. I did crash into them occasionally.

Mind maps are not a recent invention. The insightful book Lines of Thought by Even-Ezra shows how medieval authors used mind maps in the marginalia of their books to help them understand what they read.

Fun cat: The curly braces { } were derived from this habit. They are not parenthesis but branches of a mind map.

I'm thinking about Mastodon in a wide view, in the world of social media, this feels a little outsider, while at the same time it also feels like it might be the future. So, let's talk about it!
What do you get out of Mastodon?
Why are you here?
How has it compared with your other social media experiences?
What do you see for the future of Mastodon?
What do you want to see?
And basically anything else about it you want to say about Mastodon.
LET'S TALK!

I'm so excited to share that my book, HOW INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS: INSIDE THE SYSTEMS THAT SHAPE THE WORLD, will be out on October 17th of this year, on Riverhead Books. It's about the globe-spanning systems we've built to meet our needs: what systems like electricity, water, transportations and telecommunications have in common, how they work, and what needs to change to make them resilient, functional and equitable.

You can preorder it now at:

@debcha looks like a great read. I am a water utility engineer and we do our best to stay invisible. Good infrastructure is like a magic show, lots of hidden activity to make life easier for people
