I had some wrist pain building up during typing, which stopped since I switched to the ergodox. But it is a bit huge in my opinion.

Had to use Office356 recently, because libreoffice kept putting strange, large, unremovable rectangles in the spreadsheet I got handed. I wished, i would not have to touch this Microsoft filth, but I had work to do and libreoffice kept bugging.

I switched to my own xmpp server instead. Never going back.

Regarding drawing: have you seen org-krita? https://github.com/lepisma/org-krita

But it is worth the struggle. I can now create links to emails inside of my todos, or even better: capture mails with org-capture into todos.

That one is a bit confusing, yes. I had to read some manuals and exaaples, but now it is working fine with mbsync. The arch linux wiki was helpful i think.

Switched to emacs(spacemacs) from vim last year, because I wanted to know what the craze with org-mode is all about. Am using mu4e, elfeed, rcirc, magit, org-mode and started using org-roam this week. I still suck at elisp, but emacs with org-mode really is a blast. I love my agenda: whenever I get confused what I was about to do, it is only some keystrokes away. I feel insanely organized while forgetting everything all the time.

Another translation:

> Whoever then wishes to be free, let him neither wish for any thing nor avoid anything which depends on others: if he does not observe this rule, he must be a slave.

But is it really? I just read a german translation, which says to neither wish to have, nor to wish to avoid. Does anyone here know enough greek to clarify this?

What reasoning is behind the question?

Back to the good old times of ie6.

Gopher still exists. There is even a new protocol, which is similar to gopher: gopher://gemini.circumlunar.space

Nice to see something new on the blog this month. Wish you best of luck with your games.

I can understand the stance of "master" being unintuitive. The racism part i do not understand. It seems very narrow minded, to bind words which have roots tracing back thousands of years to one special meaning in recent history.

I am confused. By content you mean audio/visual content in contrast to textual content?

Simultanous Multithreading is the actual term. Hyperthreading is just Intel SMT in marketing language.

This, or a union of access rights in a case where roles may be defined in a database.

There is not much difference between smelling cigars and smelling my neighbours smoking weed, is there? It never occurred to me, that being able to smell this might indicate danger.

I got into emacs because of org-mode. Transitioned from vim to spacemacs with evil-mode. Can recommend. :)

Looks really interesting. :D

I wished i knew how to do this.

I moved to xmpp only for instant messaging over a year ago. At first it was met with great resistance by my contacts, but by now my family and almost every relevant friend installed conversations on their smartphone. I helped with the setup and provide them with access to my personal server. The growing public knowledge about privacy violations of the big services has made it very easy for others to grasp the reasoning behind my preference for decentralized services.

I actually thought about using matrix, but it apparently "modern" means "resource hungry". My xmpp instance server runs on a small server with 2GiB Ram, with more than 1.5GiB being unused.

I am quite happy with xmpp being unpopular, as it means governmental pressure against E2E encryption will most likely never reach this place.
