RT @GergelyOrosz
Paul Graham - founder of Y Combinator, and someone who was supportive of Elon Musk since the Twitter takeover - announced he’s taking a break from Twitter, and suggested people can find his Mastodon account on his website.

He was banned a few hours later.

I cannot believe it…

Just discovered the Zotra package (github.com/mpedramfar/zotra) from a reddit post. Its a way to use the backend of #Zotero from inside #Emacs. Zotero is for my needs a necessity as it makes capturing bibliography trivial compared to other solutions, but this might finally be the chance for me to have a 100% Emacs based solution for this as it uses Zotero's magic but inside Emacs.

Super excited as this is so far the only part of my workflow for working with literature which is not in Emacs!

My yak shave of the weekend is trying to get back into my irc bouncer.

I don’t remember what my raspberry pi is named on the local network (and sometimes it randomly changes and adds a number)

My network sniffer to find the name, Fing, no longer works on Mac (any desktop download is immediately marked as damaged and dumps to my trashcan).

Nmap, an alternative to Fing, is giving me no end of shit about openssl even when I point to my home brew install of it.

Bring blogging back! ✊ 

Microblogging was designed to be ephemeral purely out of capitalist interests. We need a more permanent solution to share it thoughts, and link people to them.

I see the same points shared in here over and over. Whether they're about racism, or open source, or walled gardens, or capitalism, people keep repeating them because this place has no capability for history.

We're trying to decide the future of the internet but it's as if we had lost the ability to write. Without a permanent medium, there is no history. We're days away from becoming the online version of Göbekli Tepe.

I recall reading an old cyberpunk comic about a city where they replaced dates with "N years ago", and this was by design. Without history, people can easily lose their collective identity, which can easily be replaced by the current day's fads. This is what happened to Twitter. A ban and boom, all your post history is gone. And here we inherit the design faults of that platform. We are writing on the sand, on the dunes of short-lived server caches.

We need to claim our voices back and have permanent, calendared, searchable places to share our written thoughts. Even with activityPub, even with democratized moderation protocols, microblogging won't cut it.

We need to resurrect the blog.

@derickflorian Unit testing is very worthwhile. Even if you don't use a formal testing framework in C, you can still code methods just for testing your code and use a #define to change the flow of your code to invoke your test functionality.

#define UNITTEST
#ifdef UNITTEST
void assertEqual(...)
{
...
}

main(..) /* unit test main */
{
assertEqual(10,foo());
...

#else

main(...) /* real main */
{
...

Okay, so holy crap: earlier today @permagriculture recommended this browser extension for Mastodon, and IT IS A GAME CHANGER: github.com/lartsch/FediAct#ins

One of the more annoying things on Mastodon is if you end up on a page on a different server.

This solves that!

It's fantastic.

I know that some people hate browser extensions, but if you're cool with them, check it out.

"You think twitter should be destroyed for depreciating rss? Who is rss? Are they still ... deprecated now?"

This was a conversation I had maybe 5 years ago, when twitter stopped serving tweets as rss breaking all of my cool electronic devices that pulled text from the internet.

No one understood what the heck I was so mad about. And leaving twitter over it was even more absurd to them.

I'm trying to learn from that uh... failure of communication.

(I'm still mad about the rss)

beyond "link tax" is "banned for linking" twitter.com/TwitterSupport/sta

What authoritarian governments sometimes dream of-- the BigPublishers are doing.

I think I am in violation-- we will see when it comes.

Using #vim is easy once you learn a few basic keybindings.

h and l - move left and right
j and k - move down and up
η and λ - move backwards and forwards through time
ξ and κ - translation through additional temporal dimension (if applicable)
ᚻ, ᛄ, ᚳ and ᛚ - moving left, down, up, and right through celestial spheres
𐤄 and 𐤋 - switch deity to pantheon member to left or right
ᛄ - supplicate to chosen deity
ᚳ - challenge chosen deity (dangerous)
:q - exit

Talk on Zero-cost deserialization in #Rust, by @manishearth

> ICU4X has [gone] all-in on zero-copy deserialization, a technique that ensures that data loading involves fast validation as opposed to slow allocation. To help with this, we have built a suite of crates (yoke, zerovec, zerofrom, and databake) that make zero-copy deserialization easier to work with and more broadly applicable.

Gotta love open source. I started using an open source code forge called gogs several years ago for personal projects.

Not too long ago it feels.. gitea forked off of it. I believe due to gitea maintainers being unwilling to work with people.

Gitea then went through some big backlash due to deceptive practices of transferring things built by a community to a for profit.

So community forked... and seems @forgejo is now the latest incantation.

I've just transliterated another function (without pulling in a dependency on any particular graphics library, dependency injection) from FcFt (codeberg.org/dnkl/fcft) into my FontConfig language bindings.

So now it knows to retrieve & render glyphs from a font for a given index. Compiles successfully, none of this is tested yet. I need more infrastructure for that.

So if there's any other functions I want to transliterate Saturday...

What I did to get basic treesitter going for ruby:

Install libtree-sitter-dev from debian.

Build emacs with --with-treesitter

Clone github.com/casouri/tree-sitter

Add ruby to batch.sh

Run ./build.sh ruby

Move so file to ~/.emacs.d/tree-sitter

Eval: (treesit-parser-create 'ruby)

Then I'm able to invoke treesit-inspect-mode and treesit-explore-mode respectively.

#treesitter
