I overwrote all my #reddit comments using Power Delete Suite #razit. I don't think PDS overwrote them all, and the copy of them it exported was missing formatting and even some newlines.I saved the Reddit page showing all my comments with all their proper formatting, but it's HTML5 (so no XSLT), and all the classes have obfuscated names.My first #commonlisp program is trying to untangle them.

Help, lazywebs! I just tried out the Lem editor https://lem-project.github.io/lem-page/ and it's initially pretty cool but now I want to find a Lemmy community about it but people say "Lemmy" a looot on Lemmy, and "Lem" is a substring of that so it's entirely unsearchable.Know any Lem Lemmy communities?

@louis I read someone's opinion that the features of these two VCSes derive from their history: Git is made for the scale of the Linux kernel and for helping people get patches ready for various levels of review; Fossil is made for a small, trusted team, where every change is extensively thought through before committing.I've really enjoyed Fossil under Windows: one executable, one file with the repo data, no world of side utilities required.I've switched to Pijul for my .emacs.d, because the conflicts always caused when I install packages or customize variables make Git much less useful.Anyway, glad you have things to auto-deploy and people to share with! :)

@louis Oo, that's nice. I got used to sort of manually stashing to a .new file when necessary, back in the Subversion days; and when git stashing, I found I accidentally left things stashed for wayy longer than I intended. I liked darcs' interactive flow better: "do you want to record these lines?... these lines?" I think that may have been where the idea for git's --interactive came from. But whenever Pijul gets integrated with Emacs in a magit-like fashion, that'll probably be the best.

@louis @probono One of the reasons I use Firefox is that it isn't from Google. Perhaps Google also has an incentive to ensure that a browser not from Google continues to exist.As for the speakers and political organizations - with goals like "rally citizens" and "shape the agenda," I find such expenditures not "bizarre" but fitting. These political actions are claimed to "alienate a large portion of [Mozilla's] user base," but they will conversely welcome others, who are not mentioned. "Action research" is claimed to be a mystery, but I found a Wikipedia article about it in five seconds.Sadly my opinion of Mr. Lunduke has suffered more from reading this piece than my opinion of Mozilla.

@8petros https://www.printables.com/search/models?q=fidget is a start. Fidgets are switches, joysticks, gears, textured surfaces - fun to manipulate without any particular goal. Fidgets that make noises, like ratchets, will annoy some people quicker than others.

@ajroach42 Uhh, who was it who was talking about a community, like, bbs, in the 1970s, where they had public terminals around town and that was the only way to use it... Aha, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Memory"It needs to exist. I don't want to be the person responsible for it."So much this. :) #SomebodyOughta

@teajaygrey @thumb Great summary! The only one I don't see there is helloSystem, which I think is still a thing. https://hellosystem.github.io/docs/I've only used #FreeBSD and #NetBSD lately. FreeBSD has ZFS quite well integrated. When I was younger, the BSDs seemed yawn-worthy: Linux was where all the new stuff was happening. Now a few of those "new stuffs" have come and gone, and I appreciate the ability to store my stuff somewhere that won't break, whose goals are less beholden to corporate initiatives.In fact, of late, I've seen a lot of #illumos chatter on my timeline...
