Sure, I started using (emacs) org-mode about a decade ago after deciding I wanted to get my notes out of Evernote. Obviously I wanted to avoid migrating again in the future, I want…

funnily enough it's something I've been working on for my personal dotfile setup but instead unfortunately decided to go with ansible for now despite being a big fan of both nix an…

the next release of Crystal will also be 1.0 too. https://crystal-lang.org/

> Qt is lovely but the company that controls it is in a bad place financially and it's not clear what will become of Qt if they go under. this part has always been clear: "Should T…

I also had the benefit of being able to walk away from my stupid early deceptions instead of them being massively successful. I can't relate to him because I honestly don't know wh…

Yep, it's close to how I see it. org-mode is great tool for emacs as an environment. If the idea of having such a tool so close so tied into how you're working then it's the best t…

following the cigarette example though at some point the trend seems to stop declining and the black market fills the gap in some sense tax havens are kind of like black market ban…

> That's precisely what the government does on sensitive topics. That's why there's no anti-vax and conspiracy theory bs. What "we" want isn't always a good thing for running a cou…

It's a public broadcaster, WE own it. The idea that the government should set the agenda for it either as an organization or via intimidation is insanity. It should represent the d…

but an evil that isn't going away, so now you have two. I'm not anti-cryptocurrency, but we should be striving to be better than what we're creating an alternative to.

I kind of wish my parents had never been told this. I think being told I was "gifted" might have blinded them to a much more important problem - that I had severe ADHD.

the idea is for it to be a troll and a signal with plausible deniability more along the lines of the "okay" gesture https://www.adl.org/blog/how-the-ok-symbol-became-a-popular-...

port blocking is a whole other problem. I'm referring to the rapidly growing number of people behind CGNAT.

> This might actually be the future of running net-accessible stuff on your own devices I sure hope not, demand ipv6.

I feel like that's starting to happen in Australia, we got streaming services a decade after most other places so it's not as ingrained and piracy is starting to look like a superi…

whats the USD price showing in the store? can't see it from here: "Not Available In Your Country"

I tried a wicker basket as a test mesh this week and had a great deal of trouble with the handles. For closed objects though the results are probably better than I've found in comm…

Neither, Emacs takes an everything and the kitchen sink approach and org-mode embraces that.

I don't know that is bad. Without Emacs, org-mode is just weird markdown. The way it can quickly link between different types of unrelated content just doesn't make sense outside E…

Depends, personal freedom or more of an ethical freedom? At some point, unlimited personal freedom begins to look like taking away the freedoms of those you're targeting.

interesting, "incompatible with all your devices". Wonder if it's a region or android version thing.

about 50-60 miles off for me too

it's not in the same place as the rest of my data is the feature to me. If you can do it at a price competitive to what I can buy storage (and everything that comes along with hous…
