@liw @n8 also in other projects! Including some I’d never expect to find them

@jbouter @kev there’s a vim plugin “taskwiki” that integrates task warrior with another vim plugin “vimwiki”. That’s been my work notes-and-tasks solution for a while. Probably not interesting if you’re not already a vim user. There’s a bit of jank that drove me to write an alternative plug-in in lua (not public yet though)

I don’t automatically fall into camp Kermode but even when I do, he’s forced to really justify his position. Jones keeps him on his toes. And it’s really invigorating to hear a very different perspective

Ellen E Jones (who I wasn’t previously familiar with) really holds her own. They frequently seem to have polar opposite takes. And that makes for really interesting chat

I’ve long loved Mark Kermode and this is Mark Kermode. But

@fred I’m going to blame Google rather than Debian for that :) https://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2025/07/msg00070.html and

@lasombra_br similar aphorism to “never go to bed on an argument”

I’m so angry and disappointed with the Debian web team. I shouldn’t have checked my mail last thing before bed.

@azonenberg @mcc I use nemo (cinnamon’s fork? Not sure) entirely because of the type ahead find thing, and none of the rest of cinnamon (or gnome)

Can LLMs delete code yet?

@metacosm Ah I'm sorry! I considered buying tickets for the Lyon show as well, but didn't before it was cancelled.

Travelling home from Paris after an overnight stop to see Nine Inch Nails. Good show. Still processing it. Feeling my years.

My recent tech-life has enjoyed utter separation between the abomination that is Slack and the dream that is the Remarkable tablet. Until now.

@ross I once put an order in for the tonic (ti escapade variant) before realising I hadn’t paid off the escapade yet so couldn’t use a cycle to work scheme for the tonic. The one that got away…

@ross can you explain the key differences between Cascade and escapade? Besides no drop bars. It’s too subtle for me!
