50 years ago had an anti-fascist . That started a complex and turbulent period. This will be about it. Hopefully we will finish editing on time to release it today.

7 countries now generate nearly all of their electricity from renewable energy sources. A further 40 countries generate >50% of the electricity they consume from renewables – including 11 European countries.

@janrosenow great news, awful infographics. Who can easily distinguish 4 shades of green on a map?

@dziban transient is awesome, this is just a minor convenience. But thank you :)

Reading some of the media coverage you get the impression that EV sales are down.

See the pattern?

Update on moving .md file into .org on for . Several suggested pandoc, but for some reason I couldn't get that going. Googled how to install, etc., but no joy. So I opened my big old .md file in a buffer, selected All, copied it, and pasted into my big everything in one file org file in the section where I wanted it.

That part worked, but then had to clean up headings. Did it all manually and took about 30 minutes. Oh well. At least now I've got my daily note in orgmode.

@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

@birv2 shit, it’s a shame I didn’t see it earlier. The way was to copy it into org like you did, and the run a bunch of replace-regexp commands or to use keyboard macros for complex cases.

Unpopular opinion: I really dislike the UI style of the magit pane, which is taking over for everything. It gives no feedback on location, the evil bindings don't work well, and it uses a different paradigm from the rest of emacs.

Wtf of the day so far: I finished reading a book, went to open the Goodreads app on my Kindle Fire. And all I get is a screen that says "We no longer support the Goodreads app on Fire tablet." and tells me to go to the website.

So...like...Amazon's own tablet is no longer using the app that they bought? But the website still exists, and my (old) iOS version still works...why just their very own platform? The Google Play store just says that the app is not available for this device.

Kind of pissed off because I liked having it on a portable tablet-sized device. But mostly bewildered because it makes no sense.

(And Bookwyrm has no Android app or I'd switch to that...)

Another text for today - " Why you shouldn't run a BSD on a PC"

"Changing GNU/Linux distribution can be done on a whim, as underneath all of that you’ve got the same basic operating systems. With BSDs it’s not the same. One should try to understand the downsides, as not to waste the next 20 years exploring an OS that simply is not a good fit."

@jtr@fosstodon.org avatar

Getting used to Edge again means trying to duplicate some of the productivity tricks Arc gave me.
Having a collection of work-related tabs in one accent color is nice, and being able to customize their icons and rename them is also important. Here’s what I have so far. https://gitlab.com/taonaw/taonah/-/blob/master/public/20240416T085958--customizing-edge__microsoft.org?ref_type=heads&blame=1

While Republicans claim, Putin will not attack NATO, EU politicians are meeting to discuss the new plans for an Iron Dome air defence system over the EU, similar to what Israel has.

That is how real this war is!

We European tax payers will now have to finance some of the most expensive military hardware, to protect us from the dictator, Republicans refuse to fight.

@randahl I wonder if the stalling by congress is a result of political turmoil in the US, or a policy aimed at keeping the war going to weaken the EU.

There was a German or Austrian guy who because well known because he managed to publish a large database showing conclusively that many special offers in supermarkets were rigged nonsense ... anyone remember who this was and whether there is a website for this?

I think I know why I like so much. It’s very anticapitalistic in the sence that I get to own the services I host instead of just paying rent on them.

Are there other things that are similar to this?

@hmiron owning your tools. Like Emacs lets you.

Falling further down the RH adventures.... just discovered and that might be the clincher for me. My writing is very much outline-driven, and I've always wanted an outliner with movable sections (had something in the early PC days that did that). When you combine all of the other functionality, gets more and more attractive. Key binding memorization is overwhelming but just saw some good advice: use M-x and functions at first. So we continue.

@birv2 @cdenesha I made obsidian.el for emacs in case you need it. But I would also ask you to take a look at denote.

@birv2 check out system crafters videos on youtube then if you feel like it. Called emacs from scratch.

@mykhaylo@fosstodon.org avatar

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

@sossalemaire @bert_hubert thank you for telling! At the moment Macron is the only one at least talking about the possibility of military intervention. But that’s probably just him creating strategic uncertainty.

@SrEstegosaurio in order to be able to get rid of it we need to get rid of imperial wars of conquest. Otherwise it’ll be like in the ancient saying: a country not willing to sustain its army will sustain somebody else’s.

@petrescatraian @VoordeMus @elCelio @petit_suisse I agree with everything you said except the part about the great Russian culture. And this is coming from a native speaker of Russian.

As Professor Epstein correctly noted, Russian culture has been disqualified. It has consistently produced monsters that jeopardize everything good in this world.

It is not by accident.
