And like Emacs core, eglot is missing important usability features. lsp-mode may not be pretty, but it fulfills the needs of its user-developers. Ie, last that I looked, eglot had no equivalent to lsp-install-server.

It's entirely possible that nothing good comes from this effort. Do you have anything in particular in mind that you expect will emerge as useful in the very long term? IMHO, federated networks are about the only promising tech in the

I'm not sure why you're proudly displaying your repetitiveness.

by dleslie 5y ago
As someone who claims to be concerned about the effects of repetition on curiousity, you do seem to repeat yourself an awful lot.

Crypto is all speculative value, it's no more similar to fiat-in-savings as shares in Meta or Tesla are. The speculative value of all that crypto is a reflection of the most recent trades for fiat; and if there is a run on crypto it wi

Anecdotally, I would love to stop using Messenger and WhatsApp; however, the social friction in doing so is too great. Far too many friends and family are using those services exclusively for me to abandon them. If those services suddenly c

That's from 2007 and the magazines are still around; and since then, the digital marketplace for such magazines has grown. Enough to support a number of new magazines: https://weightlessbooks.com/category/format&#x

Young Adult and Speculative Fiction are experiencing similar bubbles, I think. Not quite at the point that they're writing to their peers exclusively, but that does seem to increasingly be the case.

And to wit: speculative fiction, fantasy, and horror periodicals are doing quite well. Asimov's, Analog, Clarkesworld, Lightspeed... Perhaps worth noting is that these failing literary magazines are tied to colleges? Perhaps without re

An example they gave is TikTok stealing OBS, which is GPL'd. Moreover, the author appears to not use MIT for their FOSS work.

The author brings up some rather salient points and supports with compelling examples; I think the compelling points they raise about writing FOSS are: 1. The work _will_ be stolen, in parts or in whole as proprietary software, if it has co

The GoG and Steam sources I mentioned don't have any copyright circumvention prevention, at least as far as I could find, and so DMCA provisions against circumventing those digital locks shouldn't apply.
