pet the cat, walk the dog

Well, firstly, I’ve seen the Piefed code.

Secondly, I doubt it that you have some magical accurate AI-detection tools, and Digg and Reddit don’t.

check any post or comment for LLM-generated text

Presumably with about the same tools that gleefully give false positives when checking school assignments.

MacOS’ kernel is derived from Mach, though with with some BSD code, and is Apple’s own work since then. Its API is compatible with FreeBSD, but it’s not FreeBSD. And the FreeBSD userland tools don’t have effect on systemwide memory management.

in the Linux world, 8GB is fine

So I presume you’re saying that the entire system shouldn’t slow down when Firefox starts swapping?

MacOS doesn’t shove the system UI components into swap when Firefox uses too much memory.

Interesting. I’m unfamiliar with the purpose of that file as originally intended, but if I understand it right, it probably can be used to detect PRs with ai-made code. Tell Claude to write a particular string in every PR, and then reject all PRs with that string.

Interesting, thanks. This Silverbullet thing turned out to be more complex than I originally imagined, I thought it’s a hierarchical notes app as usual.

I have a bad memory so I create a LOT of lists

I’m the same way, but that led me to Org-mode with local files (synced to the phone) and loads of nested outlines, like thousands of items.

But since it’s programmed in Emacs Lisp, I’ve made me some custom commands like logging taken medicine with the current time and date, adding an episode to the log of series watched, etc. I also plan on hacking together a brother extension that would send the page title and address to one of specific places in the outlines, but I keep putting that off.

It’s remarkable how you continue to trudge ahead while being objectively wrong about everything. Your opinion is absurd, and everything you cited is incongruous to the discussion. Try saying anything in any way relevant next time. Again, not sorry in the slightest.

You’re objectively wrong there, sorry not sorry.

Firstly, I don’t need my entire four-thousand-notes file be exported to Markdown.

Secondly, that doesn’t mean that if Org used Markdown, exporting would be impossible.

Copying from Org is objectively bothersome, because Org’s markup format is only used in Org and nowhere else.

includes a Lua interpreter so you can get scripty with it

Any examples of what you’re doing with scripts? I use some custom programming in Org-mode in Emacs, but curious about what other people are doing in different apps.

Org-mode is especially great for people who like branchy outlines as their notes. It allows to jot down a note quickly and to move them around in the tree as the heart desires. I have thousands upon thousands of notes, mostly short one- or two-sentence long.

Plus both Emacs and Orgzly allow some programmatic fiddling with the notes.

The downside is that copying anything with links or formatting out of Org requires converting its markup to Markdown or whatever.

Use Doom Emacs.

It has Vi bindings with Evil, and a nice scripting language with Emacs Lisp.

I recommend Doom Emacs as a readymade packaging that also eliminates the need to strain the fingers for the annoying modifier keys in the vast majority of cases.

It so happens that stuff useful for criminals is sometimes also useful for political dissidents or simply people who consider the country’s laws too oppressive. Encrypted communication is another example of this.

series homeland pissed some ME people off because how inaccurate and stereotypically they were portrayed

No need to specify a title when it’s a running trope in USian films.

If politicians decide that it works, the world might see a lot more insults, dishonesty, and such.

Republicans have been competing in emulating Trump since 2017.

Also, @[email protected], another factor in learning the CLI is that it gives you power in automating your desktop workflow. Using Bash with a bunch of Unix tools is the most basic automation script you can have, and Linux is very nimble about it (invoking processes is considerably more costly in Windows, so apps tend to do everything in a single process with threads).

For example, a file manager like Double Commander can have custom actions for files defined in the options, and you specify those as a terminal command to invoke.

A more advanced example is a launcher like Alfred (for MacOS) that can run scripts on custom keywords. I’ve had it doing stuff like connecting/disconnecting bluetooth headphones without mucking about with the mouse and tray menus, or handing the headphones over to the phone. Haven’t found anything like that for Linux yet.

Generally, a programmer that knows multiple languages and paradigms is better than one that sticks to a single one, because they’ve encountered different ways of doing things. Particularly, for desktop automation, learning Lua is a boon, because it’s small and fast as hell and finishes scripts before Python can start up. I’m in perpetual mourning for absence of anything like Hammerspoon for Linux, which allows scripting in Lua and has lots of APIs to interface with the OS.

Of course, one milestone in a programmer’s career is learning Lisp instead of the usual stuff.

As a seasoned torrenter myself, I don’t observe the ‘≥1 ratio’ rule, but instead delete torrents that have enough seeders and keep those which have just a few. This maximizes utility for those who might want the same torrents as I did.

Of course, this inevitably runs into lack of endless disk space rather than bandwidth. And if you seed something other than Linux, you might want to research the authorities’ attitude toward that in your area.

All the big companies crank out a dozen patents every day, that cover everything under the sun, just in case they ever have to engage with each other in patent warfare. For the simple reason that the competitors are doing the same.

Somehow we never hear about the vast majority of these patents.
