S3 E6 Rife with Sexual and Reproductive Coercion: The Way International
This conversation delves into the coercive practices of The Way International, focusing on the sexual and reproductive control of women, financial exploitation,Spreaker
So, for the last few days, #Emacs has been glitching out on me. When I'd try to do certain things, it'd complain about an undefined variable and then just refuse to do the thing I asked it to do. Today, it started doing this when I tried to list the manuals.
I deleted the cache files and restarted it. Everything's fine now. I'm glad it's fixed, but... really?
Our garbage can broke. It's one of those ones with a foot pedal and a soft-close lid. They're normally over $100, so obviously I'd rather fix it than replace it, but the damn thing is deliberately designed not to be repairable.
I've identified the issue though. I'm going to try to design and 3D print a brace to reinforce the broken part. It won't be a pretty fix, but I think it'll work, and it'll be on the underside so nobody will ever see it.
I'll have to get some epoxy to fasten it, though. I hope it works and I don't make it worse.
Yup, it's been a long day 😢
Honestly, I have a script that tells me when I should be tired. And it was pulling from that online data. And I was without internet for a while so I made it all offline and forgot to get back to uploading.
Was only really useful for people who can just ask me anyway 😁

TIL that #Emacs' built-in web browser is named eww.
That seems an appropriate name for a web browser, tbh.
One of my favourite marketing weasel words (weasel phrases?) is "clinically studied".
It really means nothing.
"This product has been clinically studied.""Neat, what results did those studies yield?"

TBH, most of the moo programming I do is directly through tintin++. I'm considering switching to using emacs as a moo client, but I'd have to find a way to port over the rather heavy customizations I've made to tintin++. Things like managing the sushi bar are done via local scripts.
The org-mode stuff I'm doing right now is kind of separate from moo.

I've been an #Emacs user for a long time because it's just what I got used to. I had no particular loyalty to it.
The more I dig into org-mode though, the more I see it as its killer feature though. This alone is enough to keep me from ever switching to another editor.
Please note: if you like another editor better, that's perfectly fine. Use what works for you. For the love of God, I'm not trying to spark an Emacs vs. vim flame war.

I keep not-quite fully embracing org-mode because I spend too much time outside of Emacs (e.g. on mobile devices). I probably just need to work out some scripting to dump into an inbox queue.
Plus work being absolutely inflexible about not letting work sync to anything else, though it helps enforce life boundaries. 😀

Since we broke the pens out of storage, Katy's been taking up calligraphy. She's rather good at it too.
Anyhow, I cautioned her against using cheap paper with a #FountainPen because I've found it to be an unpleasant experience. Despite this, she's using a notepad from the dollar store. As it turns out, the paper is surprisingly good quality. No feathering or bleed through whatsoever.
Colour me impressed.

@Seven ✨🍂✨ For me, it's part practical, part just because it's cool. I have ADHD and sometimes my brain runs faster than my hand can write. I tend to type notes, but I don't always have a keyboard handy.
I also like being able to write notes without having someone read over my shoulder... unless of course they happen to be a British journalist, which is unlikely in Canada.

Eat a snack specifically because I have a medication that needs to be taken with food.
Forget to actually take the medication.

Is there an easy way to collaboratively work with org-mode files (especially from mobile devices)?
Note: I said easy. It can't involve git.
Not want you want since it involves syncing to a remote Git repository but I discovered ZettelNotes recently which supports Org files, much more feature rich than Orgzly-revived or Orgro.
Once setup to sync with Git repo it does so in the background.
Not tried collaborating yet though as only I write my org/org-roam notes.
ZettelNotes : znotes.thedoc.eu.org/
Orgzly-Revived : orgzly.com/
Orgro : orgro.org/
@slackline :emacs: :orgmode: If the frontend is simple enough maybe. The idea is to be able to share notes (like our shopping list) with my partner.
I already have a Gitea server set up, but if the frontend is simple enough to abstract all the git nonsense away, it might work. I've never seen that simple a frontend for git though.
Our current solution involves Markdown files on Nextcloud.
Giving qutebrowser another go as my default browser.
Now I just have to remember how in the hell to use it.
