That’s some great work! It’s interesting to read the LLMs translation of the yoga sutras

It’s a crime against humanity if the only way to retrieve the digital version of the works is through an LLM.

The web getting flooded with slop and drowning all original work is one way to go about that.

Another is paywalling and gatekeeping en masse.

A third is shutting down shadow libraries.

A guy I was hanging around with in India (Himalayas) asked me why I was peeling the mango. He said you should eat it with the skin. So I continued doing that. One day, at the top of one mountain, I sat down to eat my mango. This Indian guy with his girlfriend walked by and asked why the hell I was eating the mango with the skin on.

I’ll not buy a new iPhone until they release a new mini. No, this duo is not worth it.

Would be fun to load text from some book from Gutenberg.

Edit: found that functionality. Nice!

It’s remarkable functional.

I’ve gone weeks using no other browser than Dillo. Usually also disable CSS for most sites.

Built in custom CSS for all sites is also a treat.

No. Why should I find you repulsive?

You might find something I wrote interesting. Then whatever public info there is on me helps you to get to know me a bit better. You may stop there and forget about me, or you may try to reach out.

There is nothing wrong about that.

My brain cannot process these AI generated websites anymore.

I’ve hit the back button within 1 second.

Side-by-side didn’t do it for me but flicker made all the difference!

This is great, wish that browsers would implement a better algorithm.

Also good execution with the demo page.

That’s hilarious. I hope to see some fun spinoffs.

Ran comic chat on a freshly installed Win98 (or 95, don’t remember) Pentium II.

> kill-region-dwim fixes a decades-old papercut. Set it to 'emacs-word and hitting C-w with no active region kills a word backwards instead of signalling an error.

Thank you! No more:

(defun cutregion-or-killword (beginning end) "Kills region if marked else backward kills word." (interactive "r") (if (use-region-p) (kill-region beginning end) (backward-kill-word 1)))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-w") 'cutregion-or-killword)

This weekend I installed Haiku on my old Thinkpad X40. It’s fast and surprisingly stable. Emacs, VLC works like a charm. Computer to slow for web browsing. The BeProductive office suite is a masterpiece of application at a 9MB download; although not open source.

Then I installed Haiku on my XPS13 under KVM/Qemu. Everything runs blazingly fast. I’m thinking of maybe using that install for organizing my photos. The metadata functionality built into the BeFS is great for that.

I must say that I am really impressed.

Well, having both girls and boys, I can concur.
