@Azure Primarily, yes, though I think there's a swath of other possible light-to-human heavy-to-machine stuff surrounding that.

@Azure Things I can imagine off the top of my head:- The transcript should look completely consistent between multiple users.- Shared-space exomemory expectations regarding being able to delete other people's logs. (Yes, you can argue that this is stupid because the HardSecurity form is infeasible. That won't stop people who are used to it from thinking you're really creepy and feeling unsafe. Look at what happens to “being able to block specific people from viewing public posts” desires.)

@Azure The second plays into the first, of course. And so does ‘message editing’ in general. I'm not sure how Matrix handles this client-wise, but I expect it uses the more-common-in-the-2020s model at the core of its server-side setup.Jabber servers being light and functional and easy has _partly_ been a function of not having to do any of that. I haven't looked for an “ejabberd _with all bells and whistles out of the box_” config thus far… I should see what's available.

@Azure Yeah, but that's not what it _looks like_ on the screen, and guess what?Is it even their memory? Often yes, because that's the path of least resistance, but the social norms haven't updated—and I expect them to fall on the _other_ side; that's much cheaper than convincing enough people to record in a more privately-scoped fashion (and risk looking creepy because that's not normal) or rely entirely on neuronal memory (with attendant social handicap).

@Azure Even if you ignore that, if it requires a button-press to turn on as opposed to not, the intentionality sort of screws everything up if there's _also_ a persistent record that doesn't require that.

@Azure FWIW, I find the backlink desirable anyway, because occasionally you wind up reading a footnote without having just come from its source location in the text.

@Azure It's not how you get knocked down, it's how you get back up.

@Azure There are times and places for ignoring implementation-aesthetic, and that is not one of them. Bletch.

@Azure You might be missing a verb.

@Azure @KayFaraday Oddly enough, I find myself in the opposite situation. I'm sort of waving my hands at doing greenfield-ish personal stuff, partly because it's stuff I want but partly just to get things out there, but what I really want is an established base I can fix things in.(You'd think the obvious solution would be “then go find one”, but decision-making is difficult. Maybe posting this will encourage me to do just that…)

@Azure Interesting. I imagine that's probably a variable that affects redisplay somewhere. I wonder which one.

@Azure Via apropos, brief experiment, and link-chasing in describe-function, there it is:(define-derived-mode prog-mode fundamental-mode "Prog" "Major mode for editing programming language source code." (setq-local require-final-newline mode-require-final-newline) (setq-local parse-sexp-ignore-comments t) ;; Any programming language is always written left to right. (setq bidi-paragraph-direction 'left-to-right))

@Azure I found the main reason to be more dependent on the desktop environment—I had to specifically poke Pulse and give it an audio file to use before I had a working bell, since otherwise there's no classical PC speaker to drive. I know some desktops come with a default one, but it seems hit-or-miss.

@Azure Ah, is your X bell known to be bound to specific hardware and functioning then? Because that's the one I was talking about Pulse having to handle in my case.

@Azure Which emulators is it that you're finding bellless? I'm curious now.
