Hello #emacs

Is there a convenient built-in function that works like cycle-spacing, but for blank lines?

I told a colleague that logistic regression is AI and they got mad at me, so I made a chart. Find yourself. I am "Tinder is AI".

It really is the gateway drug to all sorts of unpleasant bullshit.

Whenever I finish a library book on my #Kobo #ereader, Kobo will offer to sell me that book at a discounted price

A better play would be to offer me a different title from that same author. Just saying.

So if DJ Trump shot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue, and were indicted for it, would that count as "weaponization of the legal system"?

Seems to me that after the first indictment, the subsequent ones are not unprecedented

Calling on folks in or around #NewHaven #Connecticut,

Anyone got a dentist in the area they like and would recommend? I'm willing to drive a bit, so they would not have to be right in New Haven.

Hi #emacs folks,

I'm wanting to show/see svg graphics in eww

(image-type-available-p 'svg) returns t

eww, works, but svg images are not shown, though eww does not complain about them and other image types are shown as expected

to be a bit more specific, I want to show svg graphics created and served by the httpgd #rstats package

I am able to connect to the server and view graphics using firefox, so the httpgd service itself works

I'm running emacs 28.2 on linux mint

What am I missing?

"Nowadays, though, things are getting out of control, both with the climate and with extremists and wild takes in news and social media and in politics, and I imagine that it’s more difficult for the Freakonomics team to feel comfortable as rogues. They no longer have a stable center to push against."

Just cleared out more than 2gb and 36000 files
