@npub15fe…x47v @npub1jfg…smjn It's often the case that modes start as third party projects and eventually are asked if they want to be included in Emacs or ELPA. However, that requires all past contributions to sign a copyright assignment which is sometimes infeasible or people just don't want to or have other reasons. And at this point it's probably better to accept that the mode is not built in instead of writing a second mode for the same language/markup. Not sure if that was the story of markdown-mode but it applies to others.

@npub1u2r…4urs cl-letf (suffix f) modifies places (generalized variables) like setf. That's how I memorize it.

It has been long on my todo list but finally I've tried out the #eat terminal emulator for #emacs and it's brilliant! I didn't try it earlier because the homepage only mentions shell integration with #bash and #zsh but it works nicely with #fish, too. One thing I can't get working is directory tracking. I think I configured my #starship prompt that it emits OSC 7 shell escapes (but how would I know for sure? They're invisible!). Doesn't eat recognize them, @npub1hy4…ka6r?

@npub1fzx…t6h3 Oh, (almost) official Arch support sounds great.
If @npub1hvw…3qzg hadn't mentioned netcup.eu where I could have twice as many CPUs/RAM/HDD for the same money, I'd be sold. ;-)

Dear #lazyweb
my VPS provider #domainfactory shuts down its #JiffyBox product end of May, so the machine I have since 2007 will be gone soon and I have to look for an alternative. Any recommendations?
My priorities are these:
chances of the new provider shutting down my machine in the next years is extremely low
I can install Arch GNU/Linux because I'm used to it and low maintenance time is key
enough CPU power & RAM that compiling normal-sized projects is feasible (i.e., compiling #emacs is a must but compiling #firefox is not)
located in the #EuropeanUnion
at least 150 GB SSD but the more, the better
at most 30€/month
Thanks!

@npub1fzx…t6h3 I've now muted @npub1nrn…u723 because I already follow the #emacs hashtag. Thanks! 👍

Dear fediverse, how do I follow a hashtag but filter out certain bot accounts which flood my timeline because they add that hashtag to every toot they make?

@npub1fzx…t6h3 @npub1gvp…uh4q The final words (pictures) are really good. 🙂
