Using use-package the right way in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Personally, I flip :defer around by setting use-package-always-defer and :demanding packages that I want loaded at startup.

Emacs 30.1 released in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Cool small features in Emacs 30 that I really like:

  • If you have ever tried to create a custom modeline, you may have discovered that right-aligning elements was a massive pain. Emacs 30 adds a new modeline element mode-line-format-right-align which makes all subsequent elements in mode-line-format right-aligned.
  • When Emacs prompts you about recovering an auto-save file, you can now press = to show a diff between the buffer and auto-save. No more guessing whether you had done anything important.
  • E in dired opens a file with the default program for that file type (via xdg-open or OS equivalent).

Emacs 30.1 RC1 is available in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Emacs 30 is a more low-key release compared to heavy hitting features like native compilation in 28 and Tree-sitter in 29. Probably the headline change is replacing the libjansson based JSON parser with a homegrown one that is several times (~8x) faster, which will significantly benefit features like LSP. This will also mark the official release of the Android port, as well as the usual scattershot of improvements across the board. The NEWS file has the full changelog.

The first release candidate for Emacs 30.1, the extensible text editor, is now available at:

https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-30.1-rc1.tar.xz

Please give it as much testing as you can. If no problems are reported, this will become Emacs 30.1 this Sunday.

Experience with sdl2-compat? in c/[email protected]

I found that sound was completely broken in MAME, in the extremely loud kind of way. Not a fun experience. I'd like to look into it more so that I can file a bug report, but I don't yet know where the blame lies.

Every other program that I use seems to work fine so far.

Emacs 29.3 released (lists.gnu.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/27699104

From the NEWS file: Emacs 29.3 is an emergency bugfix release intended to fix several security vulnerabilities described below.

  • Arbitrary Lisp code is no longer evaluated as part of turning on Org mode. This is for security reasons, to avoid evaluating malicious Lisp code.

  • New buffer-local variable 'untrusted-content'. When this is non-nil, Lisp programs should treat buffer contents with extra caution.

  • Gnus now treats inline MIME contents as untrusted. To get back previous insecure behavior, 'untrusted-content' should be reset to nil in the buffer.

  • LaTeX preview is now by default disabled for email attachments. To get back previous insecure behavior, set the variable 'org--latex-preview-when-risky' to a non-nil value.

  • Org mode now considers contents of remote files to be untrusted. Remote files are recognized by calling 'file-remote-p'.

This might be the first time I've ever seen something productive happen in the Phoronix forums. I love that place. Go to any topic with more than about a dozen posts and it's almost guaranteed to be a flame war. Genuinely one of the funniest places on the Internet.

Check out this one. It took like three posts!

What is Hexbear and how its story intertwines to Lemmy's? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

r/cth was originally a subreddit for the podcast Chapo Trap House, but it eventually bloomed into a general-purpose leftist space. IIRC, the sub was around 160k members at its peak and had a distinct posting culture.

It was quarantined by Reddit for violent speech after calling for the death of slave owners and later banned for no particular reason at the same time as r/the_donald, presumably as a "both sides" sort of thing.

Hexbear is an instance formed mostly by former r/chapotraphouse users after that sub was banned from Reddit a few years ago. Hexbear used to run on a custom fork of Lemmy so that the community could add extra features that they wanted (like custom emoji) but it was recently ported back to mainline Lemmy after merging or reimplementing as many changes as possible.

Currently, Hexbear does not have federation enabled, and there is discussion about who to federate with or even whether to federate at all. The community is very active and self-sufficient and some members prefer the isolation.

Content-wise, it's a leftist-focused instance. Some shitposts, some serious posts, and a lot of inside jokes.
