Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.

  • Emacs RFC 2646 email flowing

    Jump

  • As I noted in my patch message and in the previous post, behavior gets a li'l weird when someone leaves mml-enable-flowed on (the default!) but forgets to turn on use-hard-newlines (not the default! And since it's buffer local, it needs to be turned on every single time, for example with a hook).

    So with these two settings kept at their defaults, separate paragraphs will get flowed together with my patch! So I sent a new version of the patch to the same #71017 thread that'll auto-harden according to markdown semantics as a dwimmy fallback.

  • Google CEO Sundar Pichai Warns Android Users Not to Sideload Apps

    Jump

  • That's rich when the Google Play store is full of malware while F-Droid is full of gems.

    @technology

  • A thread "Please don't use Lemmy :( Human rights, oppression" on Mastodon

    Jump

  • I believe it is a mistake selecting that particular instance for those communities.

    The risk isn't just that they shut it down, there's a much worse thing that could happen: pinpoint elision (or even editing) of reporting on the genocide.

  • Muslim nations call for boycott of Swedish products

    Jump

  • These bookburnings are a Nazi project. The guy who started them is a Nazi leader who wants Sweden and Denmark to be ethnically cleansed. And sickeningly, the entire Swedish justice system from cops through judges to politicians backed him up (and now that there are repercussions they have cold feet).

    People who are like "lol muslims can't handle a li'l free speech? It's only paper" have been deceived. They've fallen right into the trap as designed by the fachos. The classic tactic: do something that the target group understands as a hate-fueled threat but that onlookers misperceive as not that big of a deal.

    Free speech is vital to an open and just society. The exceptions need to be few and clearly defined. (Counterfeits and frauds being a pretty commonly understood one.) I hold that inciting hatred against the outgroup should be such an exception.

    Karl Popper put it perfectly:

    Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.
