@rbreich How much did Oracle save in taxes? Just curious
@AlSweigart That would've be ironic had it been written:
"One thing that weave all scene a lot so far: people that uses AI writing help all so seam hate proof-reading."
In Emacs, when you peel away the layers of frustration, you'll be rewarded with enlightenment.

NoMoRObo labels the following phone scam as "severe." The caller ID shows Bank of America and the number is the correct 1-800-432-1000 for US customers. However, the recording recommends that you call a different number "right away." You can find out more details here: 1-800-432-1000
@crk5 Nice! Now, let's see that done with Greek letters...
@mcnado But isn't that what Trump did to the Democrat years?
If you pay taxes to the IRS, you're paying the salaries of ICE agents.

Springsteen dedicated “The Promised Land” to the “memory of slain Minneapolis woman Renee Good, decrying the ‘Gestapo tactics’ that he said have resulted in a climate where citizens can be ‘murdered for exercising your American right to protest.’” https://variety.com/2026/music/news/bruce-springsteen-dedicates-renee-good-ice-gestapo-tactics-1236634267/

Legendary rocker
#Bruce #Springsteen delivered an impassioned condemnation of the Trump administration's immigration enforcement
during a surprise 75-minute performance Saturday night
at the "Light of Day" benefit concert in Red Bank, New Jersey.
Springsteen dedicated his 1978 anthem "The Promised Land" to #Renee #Nicole #Good, a mother of three and American citizen who was fatally shot by ICE officer Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis on January 7.
The singer slammed the administration's
"#gestapo #tactics" and echoed Democratic Minneapolis Mayor #Jacob #Frey's call for ICE agents to leave the city, telling the sold-out crowd of approximately 1,500 at the Count Basie Center for the Arts that
💯 "ICE should get the f*** out of Minneapolis," according to video viewed from the concert.
If an ICE agent tries to eat at a restaurant in Minnesota, does the proprietor say, "We don't serve your kind?"
"Whatever" is the mantra of those who prefer to remain ignorant.
Does Pres. Trump realize that the medal awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize features "three naked men embracing" on the tails side. https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/nobel-peace-prize/about-the-nobel-peace-prize/the-medal#:~:text=The%20reverse%20shows%20three%20naked%20men%20embracing

Love it!
Two weeks ago, I showed how I created an org file with all the times that Moon is void of course. But after playing with custom Agenda views, I found it better to add them to the diary file instead. Here's how I did it: https://ludditegeek.blogspot.com/2025/10/adding-moon-void-of-course-events-to.html

So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.
It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.
One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!
@austinkocher And he also said in 2023, "...Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty...I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

There is only one Udemy course on org-mode now. It is Rainer König's "Manage your life in plain text." I wish I could get paid for tweaking my instance of Emacs... #orgmode

@BrianJopek I like to think that good things are still happening, but journalists and news outlets have only enough capacity to report on the so-called "important" (bad) stuff.
