My recent posts about AI have been optimistic. I still mean them. After spending the past couple of months rebuilding my workflow around agents, I hardly interact with the colleagues I used to study with, and working has become so rewarding that I find it hard to stop. Neither has made me want my old workflow back. ...
Two years ago I was a skeptic about GenAI. Now Emacs has become my agent cockpit. ...
I am deleting my Codeberg presence: accounts, mirrors, the lazy habit of treating a “nice” forge as neutral ground. Not because self-hosting got trendy. Because a slice of FOSS I once assumed still meant free software has turned into purity theater, copyright panic, and harassment of anyone who will not cosplay pre-industrial labor. ...
Is contributing to FOSS worth it?...
Since I had no interesting books to read today, nor interesting films to watch, I decided to scavenge for the most intriguing content one can find online. I ended up reading the Linux kernel mailing lists, but those discussions seemed to be 18+, so I settled for the comparatively civil emacs-devel. For those unfamiliar, emacs-devel is the primary development discussion list for GNU Emacs – where design decisions get made, patches get reviewed, and occasionally where people spend 200 messages arguing about version control software. This is the story of that last one. ...
jabber.el is an XMPP client for Emacs, originally written in 2003. Development slowed over the years, though contributors kept the package working across Emacs releases. I took over as maintainer with the goal of modernizing the protocol support. Now, jabber.el is the most XEP-complete text-based client in existence. ...
You can now import Anki decks into gnosis. The entire Anki ecosystem, thousands of community-maintained decks across every subject, is accessible from Emacs. I can finally keep track of the AnKing deck changes. If you can’t beat them, import them. ...
The more I use gnosis, the more I notice design faults inherited from the software I was previously using. ...
I’m excited to announce the release of version 0.8.0 for gnosis. Finally this project is now evolving into the “all-in-one” knowledge system I’ve envisioned. This version allows for viewing of linked nodes of org-gnosis and their linked themata in a tabulated-list via the gnosis-dashboard with excellent performance. No more external browsers needed to view my collection. This means the org-gnosis-ui project should be considered deprecated. All functionalities can now be performed within Emacs. ...
I’ve been looking for Patristic content for my Bebliotheca project, a digital recreation of the library of Constantinople. My best bet was finding the work of Migne’s Patrologia Graeca but almost no free sources have the original Greek text in proper condition. ...
