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 wanted something as close as possible to plain text that wasn&#x

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 and nixos. Nix was just a bit too heavy for some of

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 what that does to a person.

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 tool I know of. If you just want a markdown-is

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 diversity of people that it in itself is there for. It

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.

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

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 superior service again.

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 commercial software.

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

by sdwisely 7y ago
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 Emacs.

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.

that last paragraph is something I've naively never given much thought and you're right. The rise of facist groups has really made me realize how disproportionate 'free speech' can be. The first example that comes to min

Sure, some won't. We had 13 mass shootings in the 18 years prior and then 0 the 22 after. We don't much mind what they think.

I really really liked hopper. it's probably the one app I missed most switching to windows. x64dbg eventually grew on me and I like it nearly as much.

Taking up arms against a government in your lifetime? Yes I'd call it unlikely.

It is so strange to me the effort people will go to with things like guns to protect themselves from the highly unlikely. Yet we're having these debates about what to do about climate change which is looking very likely. We should be w
