More dead tree spam from the Conservative party addressed to my father (who has never lived here). This one was labelled "compliance request" with a red military stencil looking font that said "URGENT: CODE RED". This speaks to the way they percieve the intelligence of their supporters. I weep for the state of politics in this country.
Is there a way to tell #Emacs #org-mode to omit yhe TOC and headline numbers when exporting to a text or markdown file? I'm trying to implement a #JohnnyDecimal system, so I'm supplying my own numbers and the 00.00-index.org file essentially is the table of contents.
Edit: Because not all replies federate, here's the solution I ended up with:
Sorry I don't have an answer. Nonetheless as an Emacs user (albeit only rarely in org-mode) I'll be interested in the responses you get. Cheers, -Randy
I got a new phone because my old one was giving out on me. This one is a decided downgrade from the last one, but that's (mostly) fine.
Anyhow, the new phone doesn't support wireless charging. Because of this, I can no longer charge it on the night stand breside my bed. When I wake up in the morning, my impulse in my half-awake state is to just grab my phone and go, forgetting that it's now tethered to the wall. This was not going to end well for anyone, most especially not my charging cable/port.

I run a pretty tight budget. Twice a year, I get a fun surprise from my domain registrar (because I have two domains with them). They both come with a "free business card generator" that I have never used, but whatever.
Anyhow, every time a domain comes up for renewal, it's expected, budgeted, and paid for. All is good.
Then, about a month later I open my email and see an unexpected additional "receipt" from them. This sends me into a brief panic until I realize it's a $0 receipt for the business card bullshit.

Its been over a month since I was let go and I still haven't found a lot of prospects for a new job. If you know anyone who is looking for an #iOS Developer for remote work I really could use the contact. Please boost.

Aargh! I thought I'd worked out a system to help with my #ADHD, and it was working for a while. Unfortunately, it involved using the alarm on my watch, which my brain is now just starting to filter out as background noise.
You don't have to post yours openly. I think there are various forums for sharing in a more limited manner, i.e. direct with someone. You can find addresses and mail to them first.
Pretty sure even short hand written notes count, so you could leave some fancy notes for people in your life who you appreciate.
The argument that people are responsible for filtering their own feeds and so Content Warnings are unnecessary doesn't work when many of the ones arguing this also constantly make up new fucking nicknames for the people they're talking about, requiring the constant addition of new filters to block out unfunny snarky bullshit.
I don't (and won't in certain cases) CW everything ever but if there's something I know SOMEONE out there might want to filter I try to get specific keywords in my post they might filter
Like for instance I wasn't gonna CW photos of my gerbils, I'm sure someone out there absolutely doesn't want to see rodents though, so I tried to be sure the word gerbil was in there
To some degree it involves some level of mind reading but it's something
even moreso on a platform where 99% of the platform doesn't have an easy way to search the text of your post intentionally obfuscating words is silly. Like I don't recommend posting the words KiwiFarms on Bluesky but you don't need to find 500 new ways to put an asterisk in homestuck on here
I get both sides of the CW debates and I have my own personal lines on what I find sensible or not, and on this account versus my other one I also accept that I agreed to follow certain CW rules on this instance and that's part of being a community even if I may not feel the same way on my own where I make the rules
But imo the best argument for NOT having to CW certain things is making an attempt to make sure people's word filters will work. You may not always get it right since like I said it takes a certain level of guesswork, and sometimes you just forget in the moment. But if you keep coming up with new nicknames for the worst people on earth it becomes impossible to keep up.
@Demon Queen Lucretia 2025 Edition I end up collapsing (auto-CWing) all of the offending user's posts. I don't know if Mastodon has this functionality though. A block would also be effective.
Though even still, it's sometimes a game of whack-a-mole.
Reminder that intolerance of intolerance is not a paradox. Tolerance is not an absolute ethical stance, it is a social contract. If someone chooses to not participate in the social contract of tolerance, they do not get to benefit from it.
Who was the genius that decided that Cult Pens' search bar should disappear as you're typing in it on mobile? This person belongs in UX jail. #FountainPens
Hooray! I finally got my #BaystateBlue #FountainPen flowing properly again. It only took about a month of finicking with it. Now all I have to do is not leave ink to dry out in it for over a year again...
Iβm curious, what pen did you leave it to dry out in? Maybe a Preppy would be more suitable for you if youβre not going to be using this ink often?
Iβm not surprised that it was a Safari. Iβve had similar issues with ink drying out on my LAMY nibs (not as badly as Parker pens tho).
So that nib doesnβt dry out on me, Iβve started using that pen daily for journaling. Justttt in case, I also have a little water container to dip it in if it gets dry.
Okay, so I've seen a thing were people will send a box of #FountainPen ink samples around by mail from person to person. Individuals will add and remove inks from this box, recording the changes in a log book. It seems like a really cool way to get exposed to new inks, and I'd really like to participate in one of these. Is anyone doing this in Canada?
I've thought about organizing one. The trick is that I don't know how this would work without giving a bunch of random internet strangers my postal address, which I'm not sure I want to do.
Shaved my beard off for the first time in a while. I was definitely carrying a little less weight the last time I was smooth-faced. The beard was concealing it more than I realized.
Does anyone in the #FountainPen community know how to dismantle a LAMY Z28 converter for cleaning? I found a video on YouTube that supposedly demonstrates this
but my converters look different than theirs. I suspect mine are of an older design. I suspect they're just missing the metal part, but I want to make sure I'm not going to break them by trying this.

It seems they are the same design after all, it's just that the metal ring has some sort of coating on it for some reason. I've gotten the offending converter apart and am running it through the cleaner. We'll see if I can get it back together again afterward.
Fortunately, I have a few converters and don't usually ink up all of my LAMYs at once.
I got it cleaned, dried and put back together without incident. Probably not something I'd want to do on a regular basis, but a good thing to know how to do when necessary.
If the black band doesn't unscrew, it may be glued. Soaking and shaking with it half full of water should get it clean. Pen flush if it's stubborn. DIY flush is a cup of water, a drop of dish detergent, and a few drops of ammonia.
One of the things nobody tells you about wearing #glasses is how annoying it is to keep them clean. I had resigned myself to the fact that there would just always be some degree of smearing in my field of vision. Try as I might, I could never get them quite as clean as the day I got them.
Then I got an ultrasonic cleaner for my #FountainPen hobby and realized I could use it to clean my glasses as well.
10/10 would recommend. Seriously, if you wear glasses, I highly recommend investing in one. It was one of the best purchases I've ever made.
