#emacs #orgmode help needed testing org-remark’s new nov-mode (#epub) support https://github.com/nobiot/org-remark/issues/66

“The dev branch contains a lot of refactoring. I have been trying my best to make this change as smooth as possible for existing Org-remark users. I believe there is no break changes in the eye of users. My tests have been good so far. My old notes file work with no adjustments.”

Build your own #TweetDeck with #Emacs... as a split frame, where every window has a buffer with one of #mastodonel's timelines, tags etc. Leveraging Emacs' abilty to further split w a window hichever way one might prefer. I set this as a seperate tab, to which I can switch when I need to.

Drafting and researching in emacs, while tooting or searching from the same UI, is incredibly efficient. The second screenshot shows #emacsdoom's built-in lookup service used to search the thing-at-point/selection from within a mastodonel buffer, as I would from any buffer.

Wondering if others are facing issue tooting from #mastodonel to this instance. Seeing this error when trying to post a mastodonel buffer with a couple of attachments.

Something is wrong with your uploads. Wait for them to complete or try again.

I've seen the #Microsoft #OneNote hype and warned the users of long-term lock-in effects. Then OneNote failed and people lost (parts of) their data.

I've seen the #Evernote hype and it happened again.

Now, I see the #Obsidian hype. (At least the file format is an open one.)

🤷

If you want to spare yourself some effort, think of starting with a solution with no lock-in: https://karl-voit.at/orgmode/

#ux I only tried once to have a look but couldn’t figure out how to stream line Nicolas-Rougier’s sexy Nano tweaks into something I’m comfortable with. It does look very impressive, but is it brittle or can you have a working configuration around it that doesn’t break?

@histodons @israel @palestine #histodons Had to lookup “baronet” 🫢 … the #Sephardic “Montefiores” are a household name in #Israel. We all learn about these (anti-#Zionist) philanthropists, albeit with some disdain. Luckily for the proto-zionist movement, though, they were there to help the failing early settlement attempts outside the established historically Jewish centers in Palestine.

These “pioneers” were mostly Russians, with no experience in farming and totally alien in Palestine. They started arriving in very small numbers in the middle of the 19th century, escaping violent pogroms in the Pale of Settlement. In #Palestine they lived apart from the indigenous #Jewish communities of Jerusalem, Jaffa and elsewhere. Luckily for them though, when the first attempt was just about to go under, and right before they started packing, someone stepped-in the to help.

One famous such fail was of the so called “First Aliyah”. Avraham Muyal (Moyal), born in Morocco in 1847, stepped-in. He was a businessman who lived in Jaffa, and unlike them, spoke Arabic and had good working relationships with the local population, as well as Ottoman officials. He was also Baron Edmond de Rothschild’s business partner. Rothschild was persuaded to finance and transform the almost abandoned first agricultural enterprise…

When the Zionist movement retroactively wrote its own teleological narrative of pioneering and hardship in the “deserted” and “empty” old land, they couldn’t completely avoid mentioning these families’ contributions, unlike Moyal’s…

@bookstodon /science/religion: Am I a Monkey?

Loved how Nidhal Guessoum quickly shuts down a lame attempt by a religious scholar to appropriate Bjorn Kurtén's #creationist friendly title "Not from the Apes", of which he might have only read the title.

... also interesting was that surveys show that Americans and Saudis without college degrees are equally skeptical of the theory, while more educated Saudis than Americans reject it.

Thought it'd be a nice anecdote to start off a discussion about Islam's view of #evolution through the perspective of a couple of medieval scholars for a paper I need to write....

@israel @palestine it’s a staple of Israeli kitchen (the real one, not the one we stole from the #Palestinians). Spread white cheese or #cottage, eggs (omelette or boiled), olives, and freshly cut vegetable salad. Possibly the only food combo we can claim as our own https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/07/well/eat/cottage-cheese-health-benefits.html
