JCS from Irreal is an addict.

I can sympathise because yesterday (coincidentally when he was having problems booting it up), I also had a problem booting it up - hence my quip here on about how wise it is to use git on your config. I had erased a few things which I shouldn't have (I was paying less attention than I should have).

It's a panicked feeling of dread because everything is tied to it. Notes, links, journal entries, and the way you function in so many other ways.

The good part is that it's all in text files so there is literally no problem reading it in any other application which can open a text file. Nano (yeaaahhh no), vim, TextEdit, BBEdit, Byword, Pages - and the list goes on. On iOS, I even have Beorg and Plain Org which work wonderfully for that purpose. I had two little linux servers in my office - each with Emacs installed.

But it's not *your* . It's not the one you use all the time.

You know what I mean.

If you're reading an message, then you know /exactly/ what I mean. 😀

@mykhaylo Yeah, but using just to git config.org is kind of silly I think. Unless it's not and you can let me know how wrong I am - something to which I'm not adverse at all. 😀

🦉 Words of Wisdom: Learning to quickly use git can save you from thoroughly fucking up your config. 😀

@natharari

1) 6 2) no 3) M-[2-9] 4) tab-line + config 5) not yet

I have things set up so the most recent buffer is always the left-most tab, and the tabs are sorted by most recent usage, up to 6 shown. Makes it quick to switch among several recent buffers. I usually track this in my head for 2-4 buffers, the tabs are a crutch for more than this or when I am not sure.

@maikelthedev@vmst.io I've said much worse about the right-wing. 🤣

Sigh. LLMs don't hallucinate. They assemble words. They know nothing, understand nothing. They are being misused by tech platforms and misrepresented by media.

Of course, the article has mention of the 1978 chidren's book "The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek", which is a book I grew up with as a kid and love (it was given to me when it was first published).

@mph Got it. Thanks! I didn't think to just put the URL into Reeder. I just was looking for the RSS icon on your site and trying /feed or /rss and that didn't work.

I should remember to make technology work for me. 😀

@mph Just saw your blog posted by Sacha and I was wondering if you have an RSS feed for it? I found it very informative.

@natharari I use project-tab-groups mode. So I have:
1) a tab per git project open + 1 garbage tab for scratches and other stuff.
2) tabs get named based on project dir
3) M-page up and M-page down
4) already answered

@sqrtminusone Ah yes. Good point. I'm on a Mac and I use Warp terminal with AI built in so, I'll have to pass. 😀
