You guys still didn’t get it. It’s not a choice between supporting or not supporting Ukraine.

It’s a choice between fighting Russia yourself or with money. And it’s not indefinite, if Ukraine loses you will have to fight.

Not because you want to. But because there’s only one kind of invitation you cannot say no to: “let’s go outside”.

France is smart: they are already discussing reinstating general military service. They are preparing. You should too. 1/2

✨ I spent 3 months writing the best interactive introduction to queueing I could, and it's live now!

You can read it here: https://encore.dev/blog/queueing.

It starts off by showing what happens when you have no queue...

A screenshot from the post. It shows the first visualisation, an orange circular button on the left and a black rounded square on the right. The button is clicked, and a request travels to the black square, the server, and gets processed by slowly disappearing in a clock-like fashion.

So I set up a new #pixelfed instance but my global feed is empty. #ActivityPub integration is enabled, I can find my new account from #mastodon. Do I need to do anything else for global feed to show up?

UPD: I also added a bunch of instances in the admin interface, including the biggest ones

Google search thinks you should use glue to stick together a pizza as its AI is trained on Reddit, where 11 years ago a user called “fucksmith” posted suggesting it was a good idea.

So while Ukrainians are dying every day to protect #Poland from Russia, the Polish are worrying about "economic interests". Not cool. Maybe Poland forgot that Soviet anti-NATO was called WARSAW Pact (ironic, isn't it). Or how nice it was to be a part of the Russian empire. Maybe they want to fight for their independence with Russia? Just a reminder: every country who's helping #Ukraine fight #Russia is amazing and we're eternally grateful. But we're the only ones paying with blood.

mykhaylo, 27 days ago to telegram

So, #telegram today blocked all Ukrainian bots that were used to gather information about the movement of russian forces and also the sightings of drones. All of that because seemingly they breach the terms.

At the same time all the similar russian bots keep working as usual.

I'm afraid it's official — telegram is under #russia. See the post where Durov announced this few days ago.

The world needs something as good as telegram, but independent, like mastodon.

Oh, cool. So it's ok if an enemy rocket is flying through #Poland airspace, as long as it's flying to #Ukraine. "We could have taken the rocket, but we decided not to, cause it was not threatening Poland". I thought the fact that an enemy rocket is flying through your airspace is enough reason to hit it, but no. Poland is ready to let #Russia use it to bomb us. As long as it's not Ukrainian grain coming into Poland — they're fine. #war

Made an #emacs library to easily define git repo specific #transient menus:

I use it a lot for #clojure projects

mykhaylo, 26 days ago to telegram

Talking about #telegram. Durov's new buddy Carson interviewed bloody Dugin, as seen on his channel with 250k followers.

I thought he couldn't do anything worse than interview putin. But I underestimated him.

Especially this "Ukrainian government murdered his daughter". Seriously? Of all the Russians we could kill in Moscow we would choose this crazy's daughter?

God I wish I lived in a world where I can just post about open-source software and interesting books.

@borkdude please advise, is it normal that #clj-kondo sees this as unresolved? It was ok until I updated to the latest version.

Tried installing #babashka on #asahilinux, when trying to run I'm getting Fatal error: Failed to create the main Isolate. (code 8). Did anybody get it working?

mykhaylo, 11 months ago to random

Launching #babashka tasks from #emacs. Took about 20 minutes to code. Let me know if you need this as a library. @borkdude

So a recent discussion made me remember, that I actually started a blog last year. So here goes "On small #propaganda tricks", an article on critical thinking at the time of #war in #Ukraine

So, I've been doing some #python development, and started a new project, first time since quite a while. I must say that using #rye and #uv makes it really fast and enjoyable.

The end of an era. ICQ was the first instant messenger I used some 25 years ago. Do you remember the "find a random person to chat with feature"? Or your ICQ number?

mykhaylo, 10 months ago to languagelearning

Thank you @kravietz for reminding me about the traditions of #russian #military. The #war crimes they are comiting in #Ukraine are the same dog pack behaviour their army always displayed. Here's an interesting comparison for you: https://keepthinking.blog/posts/war-crimes/

Question for #Emacs users & experts:

I have tried to use replace-regexp to replace ) at the end of
a set of lines with B).

For the matcher I entered: )$.
For the replacement I entered B)

And it did not work. Why?

(I tried the second time entering B) as a replacement and it worked though)

After blocking most annoying things on the web already, one of the main design anti-features that still annoys me is those login screens that default to entering an email address, and then it emails you sign in link to log in 🤦‍♂️.

Jeezus. Most sane people will be using a password manager these days with a hot key or autofill set up, and such a design just gets in the way of that secure instant login convenience.

#emacs

imagine if all the org functions that involve moving point around to do stuff programmatically had a common name prefix, e.g. org-nav- or org-move-. (as it is i have no idea how to discover what they are, which functions even exist...)

This is new version of the previous #emacs package. Context specific transient menus. This must be super-convenient.

If you listen to yourself carefully you might notice that under the usual load of regrets and anxiety there's an entire "quiet world". And in this world you can enjoy yourself as long as you like and almost for free. The only entrance fee is having internal silence of negative emotions.

Russian priests must daily pray “for the holy russia” (for the victory at war) or be exiled from the russian orthodox church. Like everything in russia, church is just a department of the government.

The prayer “for the holy russia”:
