Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

On #macOS Tahoe, Emacs.app GUI from Mitsuharu Yamamoto's emacs-mac 29.4 build was consistently freezing using 100% CPU, as was emacsformacosx.com build. Recently started using Doom, but w/ no config same issue (ran ok in terminal)
Seems to be solved using d12frosted/emacs-plus 30.2 build #emacs

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Tech discussions are a lot more lively / active on Mastodon and I might post more tech stuff there going forward: hachyderm.io/@nileshk
This place is still great as a more general Twitter replacement though.
I’ve been trying to use Openvibe to do both at the same time, but doesn’t vibe right to me

iOS Bluesky client bug. Shows “1mo” for both but the post I’m reskeeting is 1 month before my post (should be “2mo”). It makes it seem like they were both 1 month ago from now, which detracts from how I was trying to show that Max correctly predict an event that happened about 1 month after his post

Started the #vim built in vimtutor and that is helping. Years ago I got better at #emacs by starting with its built in tutorial and I would recommend that as a starting point.
August 16, 2025 at 4:17 PM
Trying to get better at #vim has been a struggle so far, and I'm a long ways off from learning the equivalents of things I can do quickly in #emacs / mg. But its only been 2 days with sparse usage. I also have expectations of what vim is capable of, and constantly looking up how to do things.
