    @jbaty hmm. I think mapping Caps Lock to Control is confusing, because the focus seems to be on Caps Lock. So, I’d say, mapping Control to Caps Lock, or even better, mapping Control to the Caps Lock key (this is how I’d write in a post or instructions).

    As for the mapping itself, yep, that’s what I do too, that’s a totally normal behaviour for us Emacs weirdos.

    @kev hmm what NAS? Don’t you have Synology? I had Pop OS for a while (just recently switched to Kubuntu), and I did browse with SMB. That said, I think I had some r/w permission issue, but could have been inside Emacs (dired).

    @kev Wait wait wait… what’s wrong with that…?
    Or.. wait, @jbaty are you actually RE-mapping capslock, so you actually DO have a capslock key, as the control? OK, in that case…

    @jack I’m somewhat similar. Dark mode in Linux just looks better. More organized, better accents… Especially on KDE for me now.

    @eludom Not sure where you have issues.
    I export to markdown, and then copy and paste directly into micro.blog. On that Mac, I use the mb app, but on my Linux machine, I just use the web interface on Firefox. Works fine; the only issue is ellipsis (it writes it in Unicode instead of the actual …).

    @jbaty I kind of like the abstract. Works Nicely. If you head a series of this, it would be kind of like a Rorschach test :D

  • @manton mentions he likes to work from coffee shops. He doesn’t care about the coffee’s quality that much.

    In my case, some places in the city are better than my homemade espresso, and others are worse. Those who fail this test don’t get a second visit from me. It’s about a 50/50 chance.

    @manton I usually make coffee at home, where I have a simple espresso machine (simple is a tricky word when it comes to espresso machines), and most of the time, I enjoy the coffee at home the most. But I think it has to do more with the fact of my work setup (standing desk, large screen, ergonomic keyboard) than anything else.

    @jack yep! I have a USB switch, which works ok, until I close the lid… Do you? I find it distracting to have the mac open next to me if I’m working on something else…

    @jbaty what’s the appeal…? I can’t see anything without registering, looks like. Is it another sorta federated thing hosted by Cloudflare or AWS? I’m very skeptical of these things…

  • Replying to: @slison

    @slison I was the same way, until I read through their documents. I was like “wait a minute… I can do my own bangs?? and yes, yes you can.

    While on Kagi, another “gem” of theirs I like is their news site. Give it a try. I find that it has just the right amount of news I need (you can always dig further), and you can add topics. Me, I have game news this way :D

  • Replying to: @slison

    @slison It’s a quick way to run a search directly from your address bar without going to the website. I use it on my blog all the time. For example, if I search !blog kagi, my browser will take me to my blog, and run the search in my built-in search on the blog for Kagi posts.

    Even more useful: running @blog kagi will run Kagi search (with all its features) narrowed down just to my domain. I can use it, for example, to summarize my own posts. You can do the same with any website you’d like.

    @manton I thought you’ve been using it for a while now. Have you been on the starter plan? I’ve switched to the professional plan early on as I ran out quickly, and these days I use it all the time to test different LLMs. The integrated bangs (for my own blog) and being able to ask their assistant for so many things…

    What tasks have you noticed LLMs fail at, or don’t do as well? I’m curious :)

    @BrandonsJournal already on its way to my disco…er… Home. Thanks for the suggestion!

    @TheRealChadwick that’s what I’ve been thinking too, until recently I saw a couple of folks using the white ones…

    @joel, do you have any live videos showing the process? Maybe you know with speed x2 or x4? that would be cool :D

  • Replying to: adders.blog

    @adders I always wanted to get into this game but it’s too… overwhelming. Plus, I think I’m more of the role-playing person with less physical things, but Warhammer stuff looks so cool, and the lore and the stories… dunno.

  • Replying to: @Miraz

    @Miraz there are a lot of juices a d smoothies that include kale, cucumbers, spinach… and also peach, strawberries and banana. I find thr combination nauseating. But this me… apparently that’s what’s popular.

    @eludom make sure you check dwim-shell-command (also on Melpa). It comes with many useful built-in commands, and you can always add your own.
