CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@civodul Please Ludo, GNU Guix and GNU Hurd need to reject LLMs. I am going to request this to other FSF/GNU projects as well. I am in the process of writing a campaign where we actively pledge against this.

I know it's difficult for small scale free software projects to find contributions and support, but we cannot lose our ethics. I will personally donate and try to contribute more to projects who take the ethical stance. The hackers shall win in the long run! We cannot pollute our codebases with such code, we might inherit a lot of tech debt from this.

@rougier Do you have any thoughts or ideas on this? You're very experienced in building all sorts of nice graphical interfaces within Emacs

If others have ideas on how rich graphical applications can benefit from being composable within #Emacs we'd love to hear them. We'd be tracking this discussion at Pale:

On the Composability of Graphical Applications inside Emacs

pale - Picture and Animation Library for Emacs

Codeberg.org (codeberg.org)

I am very young compared to so many people who have been developing graphical interactions within Emacs. I think there's many possibilities to uncover and I'd like to hear other people's ideas.

Technically this shouldn't be a surprise since a canvas is just like an image and exists as a text property. But we hadn't realized the implications of this visually

Also, another sweet little thing I noticed while playing around is that you can literally just kill and yank a canvas while it's displaying something.

That is, you can have a video being played and kill it and go to another buffer and yank it. Imagine literally being able to do that and carry a video around in different #Emacs buffers.

Also, you see the video being played in the minibuffer as well when you check your kill-ring.

I believe we can make a lot of integrations to Emacs with this, that will make a video player inside Emacs feel much more natural. We talked about a few in the stream, such as having "chapters" between the videos as you do with timestamps and being able to switch between them using imenu or similar interface

Here's a demo of this:

This stream was a lot of fun. We had Aleksandr from MonadicSheep join us. We talked about his shader demo and @minad's also the new canvas API, the discussion in #Emacs bug tracker and also what to do regarding the different graphics APIs for Pale in the coming future.

I'm going to be talking about the recent changes to Pale, the Canvas API of @minad and what lies ahead for #Emacs Reader and Pale.

I'll also cover the ongoing discussions at bugs-gnu-emacs mailing list for the Canvas API.
