@mjausson @w7voa are there countries without skin in the game? Interesting.

@mjausson @w7voa which will be the end of the current world order as we know it. And US will have to fight China and Russia and Iran and North Korea. Then we’ll see whose skin was not in the game.

@noelreports the problem with these images is that when people see it they don’t compare it with the “before” picture in their mind.

@khrystynamatviyenko do you have a sense of how much Ukrainians are switching from Twitter to Mastodon, and what their motivations are?

It seems to me, more Americans than Danes are switching, but I do not know about Ukrainians.

@randahl @khrystynamatviyenko twitter was never popular in the first place

Yesterday’s air bombing of DIY supermarket in from CCTV. Russian media explained the hits targeted a “military storage”…

@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

@kravietz daily bombings of Kharkiv clearly show they want to destroy the city and get the people to leave it. It’s heating infrastructure is completely destroyed so winter there will be unbearable. We can observe one of the largest city destructions ever. And it’s a beautiful city too.

Second photo shows one of the oldest concrete buildings in the world, built in 1920s.

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?

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...)

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.

mykhaylo,
@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

@vjprema it’s actually much more secure than passwords for people who don’t use password managers, which is almost everybody.

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)

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.

@GossiTheDog we didn’t troll on reddit all those years for nothing.

✨ 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.

@samwho this is very well made!

It's nice that Scarlett Johansson can hire a legal team for that. Meanwhile the rest of us just has to live with all of the things they've created being used to train those AIs without seeing a cent.

@brejoc so she’s creating precedent for all of us?

extenebris, to emacs

Trying out Gnus is a humbling experience that also provides a perspective on why people might not want to deal with Emacs, preferring alternative editors: it is not immediately obvious that overcoming a steep learning curve would bring benefits compared to an easier solution (like using a different news client). I just want to read my RSS feed, presented in a concise, elegant fashion, I don't want to battle with an UI that might've made sense back in the modem era

@extenebris elfeed is zero effort

Now that my unRAID server has 64GB, I could set up a couple of VMs.

Already got an Ubuntu desktop VM purely so I can run an instance of the server for my accounting software, but that's hardly exciting.

I'm trying to create an user interface where the user should be able to edit a list, including the adding, removing and ordering of items.

Unfortunately, with the ordering requirement, I'm a bit stuck - how is it usually solved in Emacs?

mykhaylo,
@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

@hajovonta @screwtape in terms of reordering, always think about searching/filtering first. It’s more natural in Emacs.

mykhaylo,
@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

@hajovonta @screwtape also check out prior work to be within the same paradigms: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DiredSorting

mykhaylo,
@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

@hajovonta @screwtape I understood that. But order is not that important when you have search+filter. Anyway, you just need to implement commands and let user run them easily.

mykhaylo,
@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

@hajovonta @screwtape ah, ok. If you want this to be totally zero-elisp, you can use the customize interface and set some columns variable there.

mykhaylo,
@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

@hajovonta @screwtape you can also make a myapp-reorder-columns command, which opens a separate interface for that.

mykhaylo,
@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

@hajovonta @screwtape or select a column, and there have moved-right, move-left and hide-column commands.

mykhaylo,
@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

@hajovonta @screwtape that’s easy, just use completing-read
