CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@vapaad @sharkNserg Speaking for myself, but also a common experience among autistics: it took me a very long time to get a sense of what the average person considers to be "too serious for someone I just met".

It didn't help that it's pretty common for people to universalize their own conversational "weights"; so, for instance, the dictum "never talk about politics with someone you've just met," even construed narrowly to refer just to partisan electoral politics, is still a bad rule! I don't want to be friends with Trumpists, and using a vague "orange man bad"-level slogan as a feeler is also small talk. I recommend it.

Yet people advised me against that all the time, honestly believing they were being helpful, when they were really offloading their emotional baggage on me. It sucks if your own politics small talk made you unpopular, but that's either your problem, or theirs.

@hipsterelectron oh shit the TODO feature is available as a plugin! this rules

@hipsterelectron huh. I pointed Logseq at my notes folder, and there are my org files, presented like normal bulleted lists in a word processor or whatever.

I guess this is the thing!

It doesn't support everything I want from an org file editor, notably inline TODOs with priorities... which makes sense, since it's not 1.0 yet. I am a little confused that, though it's written in Clojure, they didn't actually embed org-mode itself--surely, they could write a translator from the one Lisp to the other in Emacs Lisp itself?

@hipsterelectron well if orgmode's website is to be trusted, I'm asking for https://logseq.com/

What a weird name, though

Is there, like, a distribution of #emacs or some other graphical app for working with #orgMode files on the desktop? I feel like a lot more people would benefit from org-mode than are up to the task of configuring Emacs.

https://www.deepdwn.com/ is frustratingly close, but uses its own, Markdown-based syntax...

@futurebird Because it was a press event, all the Media People feel like it could have been them; after all, for around two hundred of them, it was

This results in a breathless quality to the reporting...because they can empathize with the nearly-victims this time, where they couldn't do that with, say, a million Gazans

@juergen_hubert @gatesvp @ced Which has been done! You have to put up with the model's capabilities being a couple years behind the state of the art, but then, if the state of the art can only be achieved by labor theft, maybe it shouldn't be the state of the art. https://www.engadget.com/ai/it-turns-out-you-can-train-ai-models-without-copyrighted-material-174016619.html
