One thing this article doesn’t talk about is that a lot of the countries in the ‘likes both’ camp had a lot of their mobile phone adoption happen after the introduction of smart phones.

No, you don’t understand. The child has magical powers that make you love him.

Yeah, if they did more than just make “she’s a woman who likes man things” jokes it could have been great, it even ends by saying Douglas was in the wrong. It’s honestly not even that bad by 2000s sitcom standards, it came out 2 years before that Family Guy episode. Which makes Glinner destroying his entire life over it all the more morbidly fascinating.

It’s honestly funny that he’s destroyed his entire life over what was fairly mild criticism of an single IT Crowd episode. Well it would be, except the entire British media class and the bloody government comes out moaning about ‘freeze peach’ because he got talked to for incited violence against trans people.

Sorry, I don’t use Latex and am entirely unfamiliar with it, I mostly use org-mode to export to HTML where CSS would be used for this. This Stack Overflow thread says you can add :align |c|c|c| to #+attr_latex to get columns. Apparently column groups also will add these lines, which works in the ODT export but not the HTML one so may work in the Latex one.

This blog post has a walkthrough on using an alternative table extension that may be helpful.

Weird, are they getting overridden by something else in your config (a package or something). In an org-mode buffer, what’s the output of C-h v org-export-with-sub-superscripts?

Edit: worked out the issues, I wrote the one of the variable names wrong, it should be org-export-with-sub-superscripts not org-export-with-superscripts

You need to use a symbol, not a string:

(setq org-export-with-sub-superscripts '{}
      org-use-sub-superscripts '{})

write something like this: log_{critical}_{error}

That’s what you’d need to write to have subscript, with the above set:

• log_critical => log_critical
• log_{critical} => log_critical

Edit: org-export-with-superscripts => org-export-with-sub-superscripts

First of all: how can I turn of the need to manually stop the code execution for code blocks when exporting

From the docs:

You can prevent Org from evaluating code blocks for speed or security reasons:

• To speed up export, use the header argument ‘:eval never-export’
• For greater security, set the org-export-use-babel variable to nil, but understand that header arguments will have no effect in this case.

The next thing is, that my function names include underscores, which in orgmode translates to making the following text lowercase.

Do you mean subscript, like HELLO_WORLD? Also from the docs:

If you write a text where the underscore is often used in a different context, Org’s convention to always interpret these as subscripts can get in your way. Configure the variable org-use-sub-superscripts and/or org-export-with-sub-superscripts to change this convention. For example, when setting these variables to {}, ‘a_b’ is not displayed/exported as a subscript, but ‘a_{b}’ is.

Gender as a term has existed since the 14th century, the distinction that gender = social/cultural aspects and sex = biological aspects is a recent phenomenon, but still predates the internet. The problem with ‘biological male’ is it actually doesn’t tell you anything, it’s just a way of calling someone a man with plausible deniability. Are you talking about chromosomes, sholder-to-hip ratio, hormone levels or any of the other biological stuff we conceptually tie to sex? And what is the BBC referring to when calling this unnamed woman a ‘biological male’ (they’re not referring to anything biological, they are calling this woman a man).

also, right from the article disproving your annoyance…

They’re referring to the nurse, not the trans woman. The part I quoted is literally the only time the article refers to the trans woman.

transgender woman - who was born a biological male - after she addressed them as “Mr”

The BBC sure have got the ‘not technically misgendering’ thing down to a science, calls her a ‘biological male’ (nonsense term made up by internet activists) and refuses to use she/her pronouns for the trans woman.

Firefox is now exclusive to ternary computers.

This is two weeks out of date, the attack isn’t even being treated as a terror incident. I don’t know about this Ashab group, they could be a fabrication for all I know, but the reasoning here that the ambulance attack itself must be a false flag operation is very spurious.

GNOME isn’t actually based on GTK, the shell has its own widget framework called the Shell Toolkit: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/gnome-shell/st/index.html

Most people downvoting almost certainly only read the title. I do agree with what’s being said, I just don’t like the style, but that’s just a taste thing. The title is bad though, it’s not relevant to the article and is factually wrong, unless I’ve missed an announcement of Valve have given Flatpak/Flathub guys money.

I don’t think I’ve ever read an opinion I agree with expressed this disagreeably before. The title is also weird given Valve doesn’t officially support the Steam flatpak and AFAIK hasn’t given any money to the flatpak devs.

Left is Yukari from Girls und Panzer.

Right is actress Małgorzata Niemirska in an old Polish TV series called Four Tank-Men and a Dog.

Yeah, the whole race bioessentialism, especially the concept of evil races, that is so endemic to D&D and fantasy as a whole.

They’re true believers on the whole ‘AI is the next stage in computing’ thing: https://bsky.app/profile/pfrazee.com/post/3mid65y6jws2j

I have this pet theory that the reason tech companies have gone all in on LLMs is that they’ve given up on innovating in traditional interface (GUI design and suck) and see a natural language interface as the only way forward. Seeing what Frazee is saying in that thread makes that thought harder to dismiss.

Getting into Esoteric Ebb. Enjoying it so far, though I do dislike some aspects of it (the combat fucking sucks and the D&D racism is tiring).

Mouthwashing.

You could do a durge run in Baldur’s Gate 3. Maybe also Hitman, but I think that’s more anti-hero.
