Ukraine can win, even in Crimea. And if they do, the reverberations will be felt around the world. Jeffrey Goldberg and I reported from Mikolaiv, Kherson, Odessa, Kyiv:

@natharari I mean, if I'm working on a client-server project, I have a perspective called "term" for Alacritty (which goes there automatically), and either one perspective for the entire project or one for the backend and one for the frontend.

Essentially, the key difference is that a perspective is a group of buffers, while a tab is a view for the same global set of buffers. Since I wanted the former, I went with perspective.el.

...or at least this was the case when I made that choice, because tab-bar.el seems to have been inspired by Vim tabs. Since then, some 3rd party packages appeared that essentially replicate the behavior of perspective.el with tab-bar.

But perspective.el does all of that out-of-the-box, I have grown quite familiar with the inner workings of the package, and it got into a lot of things in my setup (such as this auto-assignment logic), so I'm not particularly eager to switch.

Another important thing to me was the integration between Treemacs and perspective, which allows to have one perspective = one instance of Treemacs = one or multiple git projects. However, I no longer use Treemacs.

@sqrtminusone I see. It makes sense. It's like tab grouping in Safari it seems.

I also didn't know that you can run Alacritty in Emacs?

Always worth remembering. The web could have been proprietary infrastructure.

"30 years ago this week… something called the World Wide Web launched into the #PublicDomain#CERN owned Berners-Lee's invention and the lab had the option to license [it] out…for profit. But Berners-Lee believed that keeping the web as open as possible would help it grow… [He] eventually convinced CERN to release the World Wide Web into the public domain without any patents or fees."

1) So, basically, just one single buffer with no tabs, right?
2) So perspectives replaces tabs for you. I used to do that too. It's a cool system. 👍
3) Nice.
4) I like that idea.
5) Yeah. I have one dedicated tab for it. It's useful that way.

I like your system a lot. It seems to reflect mine but with perspectives instead of tabs. Are there certain advantages for you in using perspectives instead of tabs? I'm curious.

I'm running my final through #ChatGPT and reading the replies I'm just...like, these answers aren't great but they're good. I would be entirely satisfied in my teaching and the student's learning if one could produce this

Maybe my standards are too low

@newsopinionsandviews@masto.ai They should refuse to let him in.

@natharari
To switch tabs, I use C-Tab or C-Switch-Tab, same key shortcuts as in Firefox.

Point 5 is in my TODO list 😜

I'm not the only one putting Googly Eyes on my wood chipper and calling it Cookie Monster, right?

The richest 1 percent grabbed nearly two-thirds of all new #wealth worth $42 trillion created since 2020, almost twice as much money as the bottom 99 percent of the world’s population, reveals a new #Oxfam report today. During the past decade, the richest 1 percent had captured around half of all new wealth.

1% of people captured 2/3 of all wealth.
