my brain made this about scala because of the data type worms 

@vy A subtype of AnyVal! :scala: Kinda like a generic singular nothing or nil. Maybe a robot/sentient construct system could use an honorific like a UnitSet?

idea: “Unit” as a title/honorific for robots and sentient constructs (“U.” for short)

This is the story of someone in Europe writing a scraper I didn't notice and costing me 15x my normal bandwidth bill.

Unless Fastly can help me, this is going to cost in the region of US$3000.

I can't believe this still needs to be said, but don't scrape fedi.

Emacs on Android guide and overview 

Install Termux from the emacs Sourceforge first for userland tools. Your emacs app will share a shared app user id and signature with Termux to access its applications with a path variable in a shared home directory, so you get them both built from the same source to avoid package signature conflicts. You cannot do this with the F-Droid version of either app. Make sure your new Termux environment from sourceforge is up to date before you install emacs.

Next check out the README from sourceforge.net/projects/andro
for further instructions. But basically grab a Termux apk and a Emacs apk from the "termux" directory in this sourceforge project for your android version. The command 'uname -m' in an adb shell will tell you your device architecture. Install and setup Termux first, then emacs. Allow management of all files in both apps with app info. Configure emacs early-init config like the README tells you, and viola. Here is a screenshot showing It works, in my current emacs phone config. You pinch zoom to resize text per buffer, and the menus work on touchscreen. Keyboard pops up when a buffer is writeable, and can be configured to be always visible. You can have modifier key mode bar buttons too.

@vv Don't expect melpa repos or anything relying on external programs and libraries to work. I had to heavily prune my config to mostly builtin stuff and default package repo offerings. Evil mode is broken too, unless you use a system level shortcut that allows bringing up your keyboard. I'm going to invest some time into making it have more niceties through linking to termux's path.

Pinch zoom handles text size per window and you finger scroll vertically through buffers as you'd expect!

It really is emacs on android with touch controls and android menus. Have fun getting your default config into the app directory though.

Next step for me is letting it access the termux environment.

anarchist pol, re: all uncw'd usian bullshit in advance 

I just block anyone who argues that (distorted and filtered) demographics legitimize the violence of the state. I fled the south because of the repurcussions of that inane bullshit, so here's your bi-annual advance notice for stupid loud americans going on moral diatribes about elections. So you could say it is a bit personal given the impact this bullshit has had on my life.

Here's an anarchist critique of democracy, just another of many ways of "governing".

Deposit your vote in the replies and I promise I will give it the same serious consideration any government official would 🗨️➡️🚽.

This little rant is nowhere near as much a waste of time as an entire fucking "election year". The purpose of a system is what it does, not your immaterial patriotic bullshit.

A lot of people really like glitchy image aesthetics, but i've noted that image editing tools for adding glitchy effects, or at least what shows up in search results, are kind of bad. I thought I'd share a link to the tool which originally got me into glitch art back in 2012 by Paul Hertz. GlitchSort2 is a bespoke old school java GUI that simultaneously works with command line input/output with dedicated keybinds. It is not the most intuitive UI, but it offers the best array of databending and glitch art techniques in one tool I've ever seen, and certainly doesn't require uploading your image to a website! The original blog and download are either down or unreliable, so here is a wayback machine snapshot of the page. Take your time exploring everything it can do, nothing much better has been made since.

@packbat You can see it happening in this old graph from reddit. Yet bigots will reject any information that doesn't fit their predefined expectations.

Well I guess there isn't explicitly piss, but...

Anyways yeah I hate these talking flowers so much. I wish I could turn them off.

@riotmuffin maybe you would play one of the legitimate ones, idk if you'd play Forklift Simulation 24. It comes from a dev house, like many others on eshop, which ships the same game every two weeks with the main vehicle asset (under player control) swapped out for something slightly different. Below is an example from "Construction Ramp Jumper".

just get a look at this hot garbage. nintendo switch baby!
