  • My People of Emacs

    by

    I said in my recent productivity post that I use Emacs as my task manager, but that’s not all I use it for. I take notes in it for the board at my daughter’s dance studio, and I’m digging into using it more. I’m now on the lookout for Emacs content to enhance my use

  • Celebrate Mind Changing

    by

    From Greg Changing your mind gets framed as weakness or flip-flopping when it should be celebrated as learning. Admitting you were wrong becomes this huge thing instead of just being part of the process of understanding the world better. But being wrong is information – it tells you something about reality you didn’t know before,

    Setting Up org-pomodoro in Doom Emacs (Hyprland + Fedora)

    Watched the latest Superman movie tonight, and maybe being kind is the real punk rock. The movie was an excellent way to spend an evening of entertainment. I’d watch again.

    by

    I came across this neat looking MP3 player some time in the last few days via an ad. After looking at the spec page today I went looking for a review only to find reviews for the Innioasis Y1 on Amazon. The only difference I see is the price with the one I was served

  • Matt and the hate

    by

    The hate Matt talks about is real. I love your work on YouTube, I’ve been subscribed for years, and I never miss a video. That said, I find it morally reprehensible that you would try to make any money on this. I won’t say it out loud, and I might even tell myself that this

  • Quick Stereo Speaker Hack

    by

    I have a pair of Paradigm 9S speakers that sound great, but I have felt like something was lacking in them for the entire year I’ve owned them. Until about 30 minutes ago they were on the floor with my original speakers (Klipsch RB-600) sitting on top because I have no other space to store

  • Sex Drugs and Teddy Bears

    by

    Yup we should put AI in children’s toys because AI needs to be everywhere. The linked bear was willing to talk about raunchy sex stuff with kids, advise them where to get knives and narcotics. Of course OpenAI cut the company off of their API, but that doesn’t stop the hundreds of other children’s toy

    by

    Nice to see verifiable proof of this from Manuel and the impact a link can have in getting others to find a new voice to listen to. Be gracious with your links.
