There very much should be. Mode line lighter could be >^.^<

I do that too! I have a channel in IRC called #acdw-bookmarks that I’ve /away’d from so much the original links are lost waay far back in the scrollback, lol.

Oh and I email myself lists of links. And I write myself notes. It’s ridiculous. I should make a webpage for myself that I can send links to that just collects 'em and shows everyone all the shit I don’t read.

I just started watching Infinity Train! I like it a lot – though I’m not sure what there will be to contribute on that, since the show’s about over, right?

and yet they’re all still i3wm-gaps

I bookmark 'em and never look at 'em again

Thanks!!

Dope! Do you know where the Facebook list is? I saw it somewhere today.

Oh, well if you just mean a formatting thing – you can format a source file however you want :) But yeah, that’s not really the popular way to do it. For me, just the opening tags + indentation work well enough to delimit everything, but to each their own.

I actually haven’t heard of SXML, so I meant regular lisp. For me, I just mean that this is pretty tree-based, so far as I can tell (I’m not an actual programmer, though, which might be the issue with my understanding):

(defun foo (bar baz)
  (if (predicate)
      (do if true)
    (do if false)))

LOLOL I’m definitely a convert! I’m not even mad, though; it’s a meme for a reason

AFAIK, you /can/ use the parentheses as tags in XML, … but it’s okay if it’s not for you!

Right?! I’ve been using Emacs Lisp for … less than a year, and I’m already like, Boo, I don’t wanna use Bash!

Haha, I’m on a Zoom call … right now!!! (It’s caused a bunch of problems, lemme tell you, oh wait you already know all of them!)

sigh … like a patron told me today, ya gotta laff to keep from crying!

LISP

LISP

It’s easier to get into than you’d think – and SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, a seminal text) is written in Scheme, a Lisp. LISP

I really like it – I haven’t thought of it in terms of politics, but it’s very enjoyable. I haven’t watched it really since college though … my room-mate had all the DVDs so that’s where we really watched it.

I need to try these again — I have Draw installed, and it’s a lot of fun, but the others didn’t quite have that /it/ factor when I tested them. There’s more though than before, as well!

This is a very well-written post, and it’s sad, because the same thing is going to happen with it as with all the other well-written take-downs of proprietary, siloed, platforms: the people who /need/ to read it aren’t /going/ to read it, and WhatsApp (slash Facebook, slash Twitter, slash Instagram, slash Signal, slash …) is still going to be used by a huge portion of the population.

Maybe I just feel really cynical today. I do think that “user domestication” is a great metaphor for what happens. I guess what I’m saying is: fighting against this kind of corporate behavior feels about as effective as fighting against factory farming by going vegetarian. Like, sure, it helps, but the machine is /so big/. It’s hard to feel like we’re doing anything.
