Achetez la Grotte pour 4euros ! fan2laboard@pm.me
Sur un coup de tête, Fanny décide de claquer la porte à son quotidien tourmenté, pour ramasser des abricots pendant l'été.
L'aventure, foireuse ou heureuse, se trouve au bord de la haie, du parking d'une boîte de nuit, des meubles en agglo, et jusqu'aux parois illuminées d'une grotte qui pue le 14 juillet.

Couverture @lasserusse
haven't been on here in a hot minute because life has been CRAZY… but i’m popping back in to share that, with some gen-AI assistance, i’ve built **neovim-anywhere**!!
neovim-anywhere is fairly straightforward – one bash script and one shortcut (allows quick launch + input of selected text + keyboard shortcut). it takes selected text, puts it into neovim and copies the output (:wqq) to your clipboard. similar to vim-anywhere, it is unfortunately unable to paste directly into the original text field upon closing.
currently, the neovide GUI is a dependency, but i’m sure it can be adapted to a terminal
it solves a personal pain point in dealing with laggy text fields. sometimes i just want the convenience of nvim when i'm writing, say, an email – without having to open an entire terminal window and launch nvim.
hoping to get a github repo up and running soon for anyone interested. also hoping to get a more detailed blog post up, discussing the process and further thoughts, though that may come later
#InkscapeAbenteuer
Die #Vektorzeichnung meines aktuellen Versuchsschemas ist fertig (bis zur nächsten Änderung).
Fazit:
a) #Lernkurve vorhanden (wie erwartet), hätte aber schlimmer sein können.
b) Kernfunktionen super, teilweise besser umgesetzt als bei Corel.
c) schmerzhaft vermisst: #Verbinder zwischen beliebigen Knoten
d) reichlich holperig: #Textediting, seltsamerweise brauchte ich im Keyboard-lastigen #Inkscape hier mehr die Maus als im Maus-lastigen #coreldraw
and finally, this is very much a kakoune thing, but i don't think selection and navigation should be different things. and more so when im working with blocks of syntax. i'm not working with characters, no do i think in characters. i think in expressions or statements or identifiers or literals.
this is very much a personal opinion, but there's so much room for improvement in this field, i don't see how we've been more or less stagnant for so long. i don't want to use a lisp just so i can use paredit. i want paredit in every language i use.
and doubly finally, you're welcome for me hashtagging every single post in this thread/rant entirely differently. if you're following any of them, you get randomly exposed to some subsection of my thread, without any of the previous parts.
Great talk by Brendan Rodhes (of Pyephem and Skyfield fame) about how Tools, Ecosystem, and importantly, Community, are key to lower the "activation energy” required to tackle problems in programming.
The talk can be well generalized into other fields, but I think it is particularly apt for computer science.
Very much worth the watch, and it works well at 2x speed with subtitles.

(Linux Tip?) Works for me, hopefully for you too:
If you're struggling to get an app working with an old graphics driver, you can try using an older version, but sometimes it doesn't always work with modern OS's.
In the terminal, open up the folder that the executable/launcher is in (mine was: cd /opt/[APP FOLDER]) and type the following:
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./[APP NAME]
This forces software rendering on the app, so see if that works.
If it does work, (if installed) you can edit the text file [APP].desktop (in my case) with nano, gedit
etc (i.e nano/opt/[APP FOLDER]/[APP].desktop)
and drop in the following line:
/opt/[APP FOLDER]/virtualenv LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 [APP].desktop %f
'virtualenv' worked for me, although you may need to replace it with 'env, venv, pyenv, pyenv, virtualenvwrapper, pipenv' etc
env = environment variables. Here it's used to run a utility or command in a custom environment.
Hope this helps

Let's say I wanted to have a (paid) chat with an expert on accessibility, who should I talk to?
Bonus points for knowledge of text editors / how you might design an accessible editing experience.
Fantastic post from @scottjenson on why text editing is so difficult on phones and a possible way to do it better.

Does anyone know of an LLM that I can easily run locally on my Linux PC to do simple text cleanup tasks, like removing unnecessary line breaks and the same word twice in a row, capitalize names, etc?
