22h agoRecently I joined copilot.el's team and my biggest contribution to date is that we have the first ever tagged release https://github.com/copilot-emacs/copilot.el/releases/tag/v0.1.0 The AI tools for #Emacs keep getting better!
The release notes are huge, as they contain the entire dev history, but things will get better from here!
#WritersCoffeeClub 02 April: International Children’s Book Day! What makes for a good book for children?
I dunno!
I'm 60 and childless. Don't write for kids, either. But …
Kids are resilient readers and will ignore stuff that icks them out or they don't understand. It's the parents and other gatekeepers you need to pay attention to: people who'll stop kids reading "inappropriate" stuff. (Usually because they didn't read widely enough when *they* were kids.)
DO NOT TEACH 'git add .' to new #programmers start working with #Git. This is so bad! Adding Subdirectories (including .) should not be accepted by the 'git add' command. I have seen so much shit over the years commited by junior devs not reviewing what they doing. It's not the fault of junior #developers but Gits and everyone who's teaching 'git add .' #programming
Tried a new ramen yesterday, not amazing.
The supposedly pork belly wasn't. I don't think I'll repeat.

“Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wants to strategize on provincial sovereignty with Quebec's premier”
Quebec has a unique society within Canada. Alberta is just full of assholes.
No offense if you live in Alberta. Definitely not all of you are assholes. Just enough to form an asshole government.
"Solution finale", c'est le terme utilisé par le délégué RN de l’Aveyron Jean-Philippe Chartier pour réagir à la condamnation de Marine Le Pen pour détournement de fonds publics. Une semaine avant, c'est le député LFI Ugo Bernalicis qui utilisait cette expression en pleine séance sur l'examen de la loi narcotrafic (il s'en défend mais le compte-rendu de séance fait foi). Les mots ont-ils encore un sens? https://www.centrepresseaveyron.fr/2025/04/01/les-juges-ont-choisi-la-solution-finale-pour-marine-le-pen-le-derapage-du-delegue-rn-de-laveyron-12608425.php

Mastodon "official client" doesn't have a language selector when writing a post...
#Discord is a terrible communication platform with all its distractions and malfeatures. I've used it to stay in touch with #lisp programmers that are not on IRC nor on fediverse. But today they've crossed the line - they've shown me an ad, an ad that has obfucaed the chat at that. I've disabled the account and not going to use it anymore. Good ridding I guess.

And... I don't mean that I'm a "good fatty" so please be nice to me, uwu
(more on Good Fatties here: https://stacybias.net/2014/06/12-good-fatty-archetypes/)
Like, being fat is fine. All body types are OK. There are many many reasons why people are fat. There may be some small number of people who do choose and try to remain some level of overweight, for many reasons. So what.
I just hate that when I'm trying to improve my life and go seeking help, or sharing what's going on, I have to bat away *so many* assumptions.
The U.S. exports much less to these countries—particularly China (with whom its trade deficit was almost $400 billion in 2024)—than it imports from these countries. Tariffs today or any day, when administered across the board, will hurt the U.S. consumer much more than anyone else. #tariffs
Relying on recent SCOTUS precedent, 10th Circuit upholds ruling that a baked-goods distributor works in interstate commerce and is thus exempt from the Federal Arbitration Act and that allowing for state arbitration would be “inconsistent” with that act. Zounds.
Three scholars point out similarities between the religious right's efforts to ban books whose content they don't like and the Science of Reading campaign whose false claims about research underpin their demands for restricting the curriculum materials teachers can use: https://rethinkingschools.org/articles/why-we-cannot-go-back-to-basics/
