I repeatedly tried IMs from Identi.ca days to Mastodon and always ran away soon, but I thought I'd give it a retry using #emacs with #mastodonel and when I looked for a server emacs.ch just had shown up and still had exactly 1 user.

Sometimes coincidence feels like a hint for doing the right thing at the right time.

Anyone know why org-babel-ruby adds an extra " for webs?

#+name: uname
#+begin_src sh :results output replace
uname -a

#+BEGIN_SRC ruby :noweb yes :result scalar
"<<uname()>>.split(" ")[1]

This workss, because uname() is a result of uname -a PLUS AN QUOTATION MARK

Interesting! I see no mention of "<< in the Org manual, but I'm famous for my 20 left thumbs when it comes to searching and I've not assimilated much of the emacs specific slang and jargon, so it might hide expressed in a yeti safe way in there. So I gave up and looked for a way to get rid of this "asymmetry" just for cosmetic reasons and landed in :post wonderland where often an elisp oneliner in a babel block solves lots of annoying things:

#+name: wrapAsString<br></br>#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var in="test string" :results output<br></br>  (princ (format ""%s"" in))<br></br>#+end_src<br></br><br></br>#+name: uname<br></br>#+begin_src sh :results output replace :post wrapAsString(in=*this*)<br></br>  uname -a<br></br>#+end_src<br></br><br></br>#+BEGIN_SRC ruby :noweb yes :result scalar<br></br>  <<uname()>>.split(" ")[1]<br></br>#+end_src<br></br>

...but maybe if it really isn't ecplained in the manual, that's a documentation bug?

Yes, but I see nor "&lt;&lt; without matching &gt;&gt;" there.

The prefix " may mean that the whole following &lt;&lt;...&gt;&gt; shall be converted to a string, but I just prefer the " to appear in pairs or not at all. The asymmetric use of " screws up syntax highlighting even more than plain noweb &lt;&lt;...&gt;&gt; insertions alone:

@mms

The newline is part of uname -a's output. At least where I tested it.

And I'm not claiming there is something wrong, but a) I did not find " mentioned in Org's manual and b) I do not like that asymmetry because it screws up syntax highlighting even more than NoWeb alone and c) even without (b) I think " always should appear in pairs and d) I'm old enough to legally use senile stubbornness as superpower! ​ :-P

New article:

"There’s a multitude of Operating Systems to choose from. You may have been using something like Windows or MacOS and be perfectly happy with it. You can step up and use Linux, Haiku or even Amiga OS. So, why do I think a BSD system may be a great choice?"

Why?
I see no problem there.
Fans of Invidious, Piped or similar will know how to translate that for their preferred platform or even will have automagisms in their browser to redirect YT URLs to those alternatives and sheeple will stay sheeple.

Doesn't that look really easy to translate?

I wonder if this whole AI thing will lead to a more siloed internet, and will actually drive most people off the 'general' web, and more into smaller groups with members that know each other or can only join via invitation.

Since it's now trivial to generate GBs of articles instantly about any topic, will people only want to read pages they know for sure were generated by humans? Will authors of articles start being more careful about where they post? Will more people want to host their own pages?

I was reading an article about this the other day, need to find the link and post it here. I think it's interesting to think about.

@yeti@emacs.ch avatar

@djrmarques

The few times I asked AIs for help I got BS answers. I'd prefer a
fact checked web. As long as they are correct it does not matter who
wrote those facts.

OTOH bots spitting out one prime after the other are producing facts
but aren't interesting to read. But at least they aren't dangerous
disinformation...

...better retry:

I'd prefer an interesting fact checked web with trivial facts in an
easy to query database.
