  • I remember seeing someone play a Steam Deck in an airport awhile ago and the 3D game had a HORRIBLE frame rate.

    To the person playing to their credit they didn’t seem bothered but I couldn’t look away for a couple of seconds it was so shockingly bad. It made me think that a lot of people may have not really had the importance of framerate explained to them and what the relevant numbers are (film is 25, 30 is generally minimum for games and 60 is best).

    Almost by definition we aren’t going to know those people but that is because if you are here you are probably a nerd, so this is good for all those blindspots. No one deserves a poor framerate if they don’t have to, unless you are Mitch McConnell.



  • I used to post a bunch of articles there, I love that community but I recently had a bad experience with the way the Lemmy World team treated my concerns (and many others’s concerns) about Jordan Lund and the selective, problematic moderation of the Lemmy World politics and gobal politics communities. See this post here.

    Also see the post I made on the Lemmy World Support community and it was locked for frivolous reasons.

    I know this is a strong reaction, but I stand by it, this is very important for the health of the Fediverse.

    If I were part of the Fuck AI community on Lemmy World I would be concerned that once more and more news articles and journalism comes out about how some US tech companies were knowingly complicit in the Palestinian Genocide as a profit seeking venture I would be nervous that the Lemmy World team wouldn’t begin to become pretty uncomfortable with the Fuck AI community.

    I would love love love if y’all migrated somewhere that was more willing to confront the ways in which AI has become a tool of obfuscation for complicity in a globalized system of violence that transcends the confines of any one single country.


  • I agree they feel different, in my opinion the difference between Bastard and the use of Fucking here is people usually use “Bastard” to punch down at others whereas people usually use “Fucking” as an attempt to punch up at an overwhelming force or entity.

    In otherwords, it feels off for Trump to say “Fucking” because it comes off like somebody who has lost it trying to open a door and is now screaming at the door saying “Open this fucking door!” in a tantrum.

    It doesn’t feel off for Trump to use “Bastard” because it is much more commonly used to assert power by punching down, the entire origin of the word being a label used to punch down at “illegitimate” children.

    The established decorum doesn’t care about the President looking violent, it cares about the President looking weak by resorting to language “weak” powerless people use.

    To the Trump mindset, weakness is guilt.



























  • At some point you might want to print your notes, publish them on the web, or share them with people not using Org. Org can convert and export documents to a variety of other formats while retaining as much structure (see Document Structure) and markup (see Markup for Rich Contents) as possible.

    The libraries responsible for translating Org files to other formats are called backends. Org ships with support for the following backends:

    ascii (ASCII format)

    beamer (LaTeX Beamer format)

    html (HTML format)

    icalendar (iCalendar format)

    latex (LaTeX format)

    md (Markdown format) odt (OpenDocument Text format) org (Org format) texinfo (Texinfo format) man (Man page format)

    Users can install libraries for additional formats from the Emacs packaging system. For easy discovery, these packages have a common naming scheme: ox-NAME, where NAME is a format. For example, ox-koma-letter for koma-letter backend. More libraries can be found in the ‘org-contrib’ repository (see Installation).

    Org only loads backends for the following formats by default: ASCII, HTML, iCalendar, LaTeX, and ODT. Additional backends can be loaded in either of two ways: by configuring the org-export-backends variable, or by requiring libraries in the Emacs init file. For example, to load the Markdown backend, add this to your Emacs config:

    (require 'ox-md)

    https://orgmode.org/manual/Exporting.html

    There you go, maybe try reading a bit about the thing before commenting on it?


  • It objectively isn’t bothersome, it only takes a handful of keystrokes to export to markdown or to any other format you want.

    I am sorry complaining about Org mode’s markdown format not being used elsewhere is absurd given how many extensibly options there are for Emacs built in even without adding in anything custom.

    No, the org mode file format is the most extensible, open, powerful file format for primarily text based notes ever made. You are simply wrong here, I am sorry.

    There are also apps that directly use the org mode file format such as Orgzly, Beorg and Orgro.
