At some point yesterday I stumbled upon this video from David of System Crafters explaining how to customize the famed Modus themes. I want to use these themes Ebecause they are so detailed and thoughtful, but I disagree with the main idea behind them: the sharply contrasting colors.
I worked out a way to write blog posts almost every day. At this point, I have more posts on the blog each month than I did before. I’m going to share what I do, but know this: it involves a lot of writing.
For the longest time, I wanted to have grammar check inside Emacs. I finally figured out how to use Emacs-langtool. It’s pretty easy to set up; It’s just that finding basic instructions is hard to find.
I recently wrote about dating apps and the large quantities of personal data they suck up and send over back to HQ. My new Phone, a Pixel 6, is a horrible Google spy already. I don’t need yet another greedy cooperation selling juicy bits of my private dating preferences to the highest bidder. What to do?
Pushing to GitLab with my SSH key stopped working a couple of months ago. Every now and then I tried to do a bit of troubleshooting but I didn’t manage to solve the problem… until today.
“…information about your mobile device, such as hardware model, operating system information, IP address, mobile network information, and device identifiers….”
On my TODO list yesterday, I had “C-z > narrow subtree.” Translation: Make C-z, which minimizes Emacs (which I only press by mistake and curse when I do), to narrow to the subtree I’m on instead. What is narrow to subtree, and why should you care?
I was playing around with subtitles for MPV with limited success. It seems the package this project relays on, Subliminal, does not work or is perhaps abandoned.
I keep trying to write shorter posts more often, and I keep failing. When I sit down to write, I think I have a few paragraphs ahead of me at most, but an hour later I have a whole article completed with referencing links and footnotes that I had to continue the next day.
I’m disabling comments on this blog and will add a brief contact blurb at the end of each post instead. Why and how come? I’ll tell you about Commento and why disabling comments on this blog seems like a good idea.
