@janneke given how carefully it is made, i have to assume the guile makers know what they are doing (and i know them and know that they do), and don't doubt that there are good reasons. but i'm very used to nil punning like the blazes, i find it elegant. without it, when/unless become unusable to me.

i also don't see why we need three nonentities. can't your queries be satisfied with 2? calling (unspecified?) on something is a monstrosity.... why not return false for a failed when?

but anyway, guile v v good :), maybe one day i will see the light re holy prohibition on nil punning!

man, #guile #scheme is v cool, v v good.

(but also, i really really struggle with the absensce of nil punning. instead of nil everywhere have '(), \#f, and the dreaded \#<unspecified>. why on earth would i want my when clause to return the latter when it could just return nil? i can't fathom it.)

but guile v cool, v v good.

(now i'm gonna turn into one of those folks dreaming about guile emacs, coz it if worked out you'd imaging writing all your extensions and packages and hacks in this elegant motherfucker of a lisp...)

man, the tope is so dissed right now, i'm feeling like we are living through the deepest dissing of the tope, the tope is hella dissed, it's dissing its head off, tope is dissed af yo, dis levels of the tope are constantly rising, the topic is Dis, which is another word for hell, we are failing to prevent the tope from being ever more dissed, it is dissed, it is saying it is dissed and continually dissing, and we just let the tope go on getting ever more dissed, the tope is dissing its fucking top off right now as we sit in it collapsing, the fucking gutters are in flames

@ramin_hal9001 @anthk interesting discussion.

i would also like to believe it is true, but don't really believe it is.

John McCarthy (inventor of lisp) was an angry arsehole of a republican, a hawk on the middle east, hater of supposedly lesser peoples, believer in US supremacy, you can go read his blog to find out.

but also, recently, it dawned on me that the free software idea was just interactive programming translated into social terms.

lots of people like to hack the good hack (cf. guix, spritely, ramin yourself), but also the lisp curse can possibly align with more of a libertarian lone wolf attitude, no? (obviously not always, i'm just free associating.)

basically the politics of most of the entire IT world is rank, ever since eugenicists invented transistors... (computers are basically microfascism, cf. IBM / nazism, racial terror in the US likewise)

yet at the same time, making stuff by programming rewards curiosity, open-mindedness, self-reflection, humble persistence...

it's something that accompanies me in all my programming misadventures...

@hakan_geijer great line from an awful text, imho

@aral the goo?

how telling that "emancipatory" is not in the LibreOffice spellcheck dictionary.

@daviwil data is in! who-hoo!

@daviwil let us know when it is up!

does "uncanny" have a standard nominalization?

uncanniness?

#emacs

am starting on making a little interface to the google drive API, using the gdrive CLI programme (which handles auth and requests).

but my thought was, has no one ever bothered to do this before?

(i know i can browse gdrive via tramp, but my interest here is different: i want to programmatically upload and download files and directories, without minimal file tree navigation. moreover gdrive over tramp, last i checked, is mind-meltingly slow.)

gdrive: https://github.com/glotlabs/gdrive

gdr, gdrive in emacs: https://codeberg.org/martianh/gdr

(PS: while doing this last night i was reminded of my little nextcloud share-link package (https://codeberg.org/martianh/nc.el) the existence of which i had *completely* forgotten! shocked at mind-empty self.)

too scared to update

#emacs #emacsConf

wait, did Robin Tempelton say spring 2025 we can run guile-emacs?!

I don't even know what guile is and I can't fucking wait.

@mdhughes @screwtape yeah i was gonna say, else do shadowing. glad its working

but hey, it's still weird: if you have no conflicts, it shouldn't error at all? you cd just :use :use :use to your heart's content.

(i suffered quite a bit w getting going due to useless pkging related errors, until i found my 1 mousey little way that works..., sigh)

@mdhughes @screwtape i def a pkg like so:

(defpackage #:altext
(:use #:cl #:uiop)
(:local-nicknames
(#:dex #:dexador)
(#:n #:ningle)
(#:s #:spinneret)
))

if you don't want any nicknames/prefix, you can put the package in :use, but you may get name conflicts that way. which is the error in your first post.

#emacs #mastodonEl

overhauling notifications display, to handle grouped notifications.
necessitated overhauling bylines display, to handle not being a complete piece of splattered shit.
sloooooooooowly achieving byline singularity/spagettification/enlightenment/making a complete mess of everything.
realizing that notifications display was actually always broken, but it looked nice so never realized... 😁
one day soon maybe we'll even have the possibility of bylines before posts! like every other single fedi client in the world!

DMT brain meme!

edit: a pic

#emacs #mastodonEl

pushed a stack of stuff to main, release tag 1.1.0.

- display link card authors (masto 4.3)
- grouped notifications / notifications overhaul (masto 4.3)
- overhaul of byline code
- function to return unread notifications count
- add trending links view
- add links timeline
- add update user settings transient menu
- add update user profile fields transient menu
- lots of fixes/code molesting
- don't render images in fave/boost notifications (render link)
- fix image rendering in thread views
- new dependency: tp.el, for the transients

please report any issues you encounter on the repo, or @ me. there'll likely be a few breakages lurking around somewhere. esp. given code audits.

please consider donating if you appreciate the time/energy i spend on mastodon.el: https://paypal.me/martianh. (even a small amount helps a lot.)

thanks to the recent donors too!

#emacs #mastodonEl

- adding widgets to views that can be cycled, such as profiles and search. easy to port from lem.el, hurrah.
- trying to make the poll transient (live) adjustable for numbers of options (a server setting).

#emacs #mastodonEl

trying to fix the awful clash between content warnings and folding of long toots. they should now work independently of each other, and more importantly, respect each others state.

fix is in develop.

(the clash was god awful, but i never noticed due to personal settings so never fixed. apols for that.)
