Wouldn't it be easier to have e.g. Orgzly on the phone and add todos straight into the Org files? Then have them synced to desktop via Syncthing, for example, once you're on wifi. That's my setup, and in fact I have Orgzly po

Afaik Guile is now persistently in the state of ‘kinda done’—it got bogged down in lexical scope or something like that, and no progress is seen for a quite a while. Remacs seemed to be the next hopeful, but apparently is also abandoned for

by aasasd 4y ago
In issues for Orgzly, support for org-crypt was mentioned as a wanted feature, so I guess that's what some people use. However, it sounds like it encrypts text inside files, maybe on per-note basis. On desktop, encrypting files is usua

I'm on Doom Emacs, which uses the current Org from Git, and uppercase for ‘BEGIN_SRC’ works for me just as lowercase, which I normally employ myself. Maybe it didn't in the past, but at least it's fixed now.

Emacs packages, and Org specifically, tend to have a hands-on approach to editing files: Emacs' API relies on moving around the cursor (‘point’) and doing stuff in its vicinity, and Org has rather little abstraction on top, basically j

Difficult to imagine the size from a photo with a phone (maybe it's due to me being a user of Android, idk). I'd prefer to see it next to previous small power supplies—because I'm vaguely sure I've seen some of comparabl

If you like that feeling, you might enjoy the old game Vangers. It's not quite ‘take these completely foreign things and do barely understandable tasks with them’, but the mood is definitely there.

‘Space Rangers’ does a bit of what you describe, though not much. In fact, I learned about SC2 much later after playing SR, and realized that SR borrowed a lot from SC2. But perhaps SR can satisfy some of the itch for a new game in the ge

I feel like you might've heard of ‘Space Rangers’ (just ‘2d space trading with pirates’ does rather hint at it), but if not—it's about a third to a half of what you described, plus some other stuff on top. IDK if they ever made it

Just FYI, China doesn't care about the ‘common ground’ with Russia, and their cooperation mostly comes to China wanting Chinese companies to build infrastructure projects in Russia and receive fat checks for that. China keeps Russia aw

As we saw after the invasion of Ukraine, the West can mount a swift, concerted and effective response, that deals a lot of damage to the offending country's economy. I'm sure that evidence of Xinjiang crimes will invoke the same k

Yeah, in regard to bike lanes between the road and the sidewalk, some note that passengers are even less likely than the drivers to look in the mirrors or just back out the window when getting out, since they expect mostly walking people on

Another such example is drivers or passengers opening cars' doors without looking in the mirrors. A car's doors are reinforced plenty while having relatively sharp-ish metal ‘lip’ on the butt end, and you really don't want to

Holy crap, someone knows about DJ Sharpnel—who are of course in fact a duo and are producers, not DJs. The music is truly a ‘cure for ADHD’, though (in the spirit of https://youtu.be/DDFNgs7gp8M ). Plus they have a whole lab

Though apparently the song itself is just entirely regular rap bragging, with nothing at all about chess, boxing, or the movie.

Only now learned that FB has videos about the ‘metaverse’. I'm five minutes into FB's video, and it feels like a recreation of both late-80s' explainer infomercials and early-90s' pop hallucinations about the computerize

Funny enough, both seemed to have carried their haircuts through all, or at least most of life since late adolescence (dunno about earlier). Perhaps so that they could be told apart by that detail.

From what I heard, at least at some time McDonalds profited more from trading real estate than from selling burgers. As in, buy a shop, wait for the district around to develop, sell the shop. So I would expect them to continue buying shops
