Was mostly successful at this today. Winding the night down with some tea and a good book.
We'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow.

"too much mental load? Simply reduce your mental load by writing a to do list"
It's like they don't know that writing a to do list exponentially increases mental load for someone with ADHD

"eniko why won't your studio support mac anymore"
well, this might have something to do with it: hackaday.com/2024/11/01/apple-…
"Now it would seem that to distribute MacOS software you need to have an Apple Developer Program membership, costing $99/year."
if anything apple should be paying *me* $99 a year to put up with their bullshit. i'm not locking myself into development-as-a-service where every year i have to dish out $99 to even be allowed to make programs for mac and then every 4 years also have to buy an entirely new overpriced piece of trash laptop because apple arbitrarily decided the latest version of macos won't run on older macbooks

Typesetting question:
I've noticed that in many novels there will be a scene change within a chapter that is marked by a larger than normal gap between two paragraphs. Is there a way to represent this in a #LaTeX document?
@mattskala not internal,, as they are user level commands. But yes, it's part of #TeLaTeX without any package
NewDocumentCommand is the modern replacement of newcommand. (see `texdoc usrguide`)
The hook with OmitIndent allows to set the \noindent for the following paragraph, while \noindent has to be called at the beginning of that paragraph.(`texdoc ltpara-doc¸`)
Online links of the documentation:
texdoc.org/serve/usrguide/0
texdoc.org/serve/ltpara-doc/0
@mattskala Oh and I of course I agree there are document class which support that by default. Just sometimes one may not use those or can't or whatever. So I wanted to provide a general option. Of course you should check the documentation of the document class first.
memoir's plainbreak is defined similar. But what I don't like about it, that it does not have a default value for the size. So I'd still define my own \chapterSep to be like \plainbreak{1} to be able to adjust that globally.

If you're a Jew - hi! I made lots of nature inspired Judaica jewelry for you. Some have not been uploaded yet but if you see something you like please don't hesitate to reach out!

At a time in which hate crimes against us are rising so extremely fast, it's never been more important to be proudly, unapologetically Jewish. Only wear those where you feel safe, but wear them proudly. We are here to stay. ❤️

Setting timezone of org-mode
I'm just getting started with org-mode, and really like it so far. I work in London with xemacs running on OpenVMS based on the East Coast US. Is there any way to get org-mode to use a timezone otherStack Overflow

I am my own legal department: the promise and peril of “just go independent”
Independent publishing is one important facet of the media ecosystem, and while I love it, I know it is not the path for everyone.Molly White (Citation Needed)

One of the big benefits of being your own legal department is that you actually have your own interests at heart.
Anyone who thinks a corporate legal department or a corporate HR department is looking out for the interests of the employee is living in fantasy land.
HR and Legal are there solely to protect the corporation. Never think otherwise.

A few years ago, a Podcaster was wanting all their listeners to boycott Home Depot because the CEO hates Democrats. Guess who the same CEO endorsed this time? Kamala Harris!
A Democrat!
Every time I go to Home Depot to pick up some electrical wire, I can always depend on finding the podcaster's empty parking space, I chuckle to myself.
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?
@mocom I think this is what broke it.
I think the problem started when I installed the org-mode package fromM-x list-packageseven though it was already installed viaapt. I removed it again, but I think it broke things.
org 9.5.5 built-in Outline-based notes management and organizerSo no reason to install it
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?"

We have a word for someone who pursues their own obscure, non-prosocial goals while skillfully pretending to be a prosocial person. That word is “psychopath”.
When we make anthropomorphic AI agents, we’re making psychopathic systems.
Worse, these systems do not fear the retribution of society like human psychopaths do.
Happy Friday!

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.

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.
