@GossiTheDog it certainly makes them productive in saying how productive they are. They simply won’t shut up about their prompts and how many learning opportunities it saved then from.

There's a new sndctl(8) util comming to #freebsd

ok, I'm hyped.

@feld I have o idea how it works. Ut you can not change audio device for a running program

Is there anything technically blocking OSS on #freebsd from supporting multiple sound outputs ?

@antranigv Come one.

As always: #emacs tabs management (C-x t) is hugely overpowered.

ok:

- multi tabs
- multi widows (which are splits in vim-terms)
- milti frames (which are windows everywhere else)
- multi project (based on version control root)

that's a lot ways to manage one #emacs instance :-)

Commodore 64 Assembly, part 6 - substracting numbers and other math

I am very close to actually drawing stuff on the screen.

Is the term "buzz coding" already coined? If not, I'd like to coin it.

Basically vibe coding, but instead of using a llm you're drinking. The result is the same - new code that no one understands. But more fun!

#Duolingo Will Replace Contract Workers With AI

Can someone explain https://github.com/emacsmirror to me? For me developers *choose* not to be on microsoft github for a reason.

(the reason being often microsoft)

#emacs

What is "best" learning material for asm for #commodore64? Some great book or something else?
I have never asm-ed before, so it should be gentle with me.

also - #emacs comes with nice auto-formatting for asembler mode. Noice!

the one thing I had surprise problems in #emacs:

ever since I returned to vanilla keybindings, it's difficult to find bindings for my global functions (like consult-find) that will work in all modes without problems.

First I assumed C-c, but C-c is *for* major modes.

How do you approach it?

This is what they took from you

#licesing question.

People share (a)gpl code on github. Github is not available everywhere (even read access I think).

Does that break the GPL?

"...must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software"

(AGPL 3, section 13)

#opensource #gnu #gpl

The most important Vim bindings is "." as it repeats last command (think "I;;" to comment current line). I can then "j.j.j.j." to repeat it for some lines.

What is the closest equivalent in #emacs native bindings? A full makro?
