It's also in print πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ and there was that cute Japanese edition a few years back.

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.

Emacs RFC 2646 email flowing

Heck it Emacs!

A few months ago I fixed a bug in RFC 2646 handling where the last paragraph wouldn't get reflowed unless I remembered to add a hard newline (that is, a newline with the 'hard text property) after it, at EOT. I needed to hit one extra RET at the end. All other paragraphs would be wrapped, not just the last one.

(I even bugged @jas@fosstodon.org about it.)

But it still didn't always work and today I tried to get to the bottom of why, spending the entire day debugging it, finally realizing that... It's not even being called when there's only one paragraph in the email. I wasted so much time before realizing that! And then getting to the bottom of why that wasn't happening was the opposite of easy but it turnes out that Gnus by design doesn't call the fill-flowed-encode function when there aren't any hard newlines in the buffer. Which there aren't gonna be if it's a single-paragraph letter πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Use-hard-newlines is beyond useless since that's always buffer-local and the text-reflowing is being done in a temp buffer. Instead since 2010 we're supposed to set mml-enable-flowed to true. But don't worry, fans of the messages-are-flowing package, I'm gonna send patches there to reflect that. I have a bunch of other changes to that package too since I've been using that a lot this summer.

This is all in bug#71017 (cursed palindrome!) for people who wanna dig in πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ«

There's also cook's utensil rules in XGE.

I'm looking for monster lists for Journeys through the Radiant Citadel.

Like, for each of the planes in there, here's a list of appropriate monsters. It's OK if they're fan made. It's not always clear to me exactly which real-world–culture is the basis of which plane (maybe that's in the book or maybe it's supposed to be vague), but that's fine, I think these settings look awesome, but one of the main thing missing to easily expand them are encounter tables, which I could throw together if I knew like "OK, on such-and-such plane there are owlbears and stirges" or something like that.

I like settings where the players can play parties from all kinds of factions. I've seen 'em roll up members of the same cult their last party faught against etc. This isn't a complete answer but just one more li'l contribution to the thought palette around this.

Democracy Now are being lauded in the video in case you missed that πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I like Chris Hayes' take as clipped in this video 43 minutes in:

The way that so many prominent voices have focused so exclusively on colleges feels honestly a bit decadent to me. Like we're doing a paper doll version of conflict because the actual reality of what's happening in Gaza is so horrific, unceasing, and high-stakes, it's more enjoyable to argue about what college kids are doing than to confront the human misery and destruction that's happening in the actual conflict that is, of course, the source of these protests. What seems to be most worth debating isn't campus speech but whether the US government should contine to fund and support an Israeli war in Gaza that has pushed more than a million people to the brink of famine. A war that has damaged half of the buildings in Gaza. A war that has failed to bring home most of the hostages held by Hamas, that has in fact lead to the death of some those hostages.

This is a good video, thanks.
I'm not all onboard with the conclusions: "YouTube & TikTok good" (I believe they're overall bad. Fund Peertube.) and "Socialist sentiment is growing" (I believe the overton window has been slipping & skipping to the right for decades now.)

CY_Borg by @chrull is great. Feels more polished and playable than MΓΆrk Borg.

A commenter on the YouTube page said

Meanwhile the Free and Open Source community have holy wars over text editors.

😭

Is that still going on? I thought Emacs ruled supreme. Every monarchy a conquered sovereignity.

It's so weird that they didn't do this when they introduced the Primaris. Perfect in-universe opportunity.

But the Stormcast Eternals fixed it so πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Sweden has these. But I can't speak to how good or bad they are because I've never lived in one for more than a week or so at a time. I grew up out in the boonies.

As for the video, I like that it (unlike way too many of these video essays) doesn't bury the lede; he's up front about his perspective and then spend the rest of the video elaborating and explaining why. That's an oasis in the desert of "mysterious, let me hold you in suspense for the lede" style videos we see too many of. I get really distracted by his music, though. I can't fully listen to what he has to say since I get so into the heartbreakingly depressive synth pads.

Weird order of switch-to-buffer with packages that augment completing-read?

I'm using vertico, consult, consult embark, and orderless and it's OK but for switch-to-buffer specifically it kind of bugs me that the order isn't connected to the last-used-order (the order that list-all-buffers uses). I'm like "I just used that buffer three seconds ago and now I need to search for it?!"

Help please? πŸ™πŸ» β™₯ @emacs@lemmy.ml

 

Why does replace-regexp backwards work so differently?

C-u - M-x replace-regexp \w+

The - prefix arg replaces backwards but it hits one char at a time, as if the plus sign weren't there. The same replacement forwards (without the prefix arg) does hit one word at a time. What's going on, @emacs@lemmy.ml?

Huh? Is there an @emacs setting to get format=flowed?

Here are the emotes I wished existed on Arena:

β€’ Hello
β€’ Dang it, I made a misplay, but that's OK
β€’ I like your style
β€’ Noooo!
β€’ Good game

I don't wanna say "Oops". That just sounds sarcastic.
