think that’s it. use-package sadly has moved to learn some other day.

#OrgMode’s back

#orgmode


got distracted and installed Manjaro and upgraded Mint on two other options instead 😂


for now, trying to triage the old files and moving over only the stuff i want into the new init file




Original: https://toots.dgplug.org/@jason/111170868953299991


now that i inadvertently formatted the main system because of a combination of a weird driver crash, sickness and inattention, i decided to move to #Emacs 29, using the ubuntu-elisp ppa instead of the venerable kelleyk (will move back whenever they release 29)


i get a “pure-gtk” warning, about crashes that might occur during transfer of large selection data. but i have no choice now. i want the new hotness. So in for a penny, in for a pound.


(I did check the system-configuration-options and the package seems to be compiled with both x --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 and wayland --with-pgtk=yes support. so let’s see how stable it is)


also decided to rewrite my init file and the way I install packages. (learning use-package finally.


Looks like a good way to noodle around while recovering from this dastardly viral.
Let’s see how it goes.

#NoteToSelf make sure the machine is backed up before you do any sort of driver update on the desktop


At least you will have the latest versions of your stuff when the machine goes wah

Taleb’s, “I write with my scars” just as easily applies to Daniel ( @bagder ) Stenberg’s, Uncurled.


The language is gentle, the passion is fierce, the wisdom is timeless.

“All bugs could in theory eventually be found. But only if you stop adding new features and you have a large amount of users *for an extended period of time*.”

This corollary to ancient open source lore 2 can only come from a person who has skin in the game and the scars to show for it.
