@zardoz helm's problem is that thierry volpiatto is a prick https://circumstances.run/@hipsterelectron/117441114505968470

@zardoz so all of these plug into completing-read and shit. the reason this is confusing is because if you M-x helm-mode it takes over all your completions everywhere and it has some incredibly half-assed defaults (i personally find it unusable for C-x C-f, which i use ido for, which also has fantastic LRU ranking for this while otherwise going by lex sort)

@zzt this is why i stopped being polite and just started flaming people outright

@zzt @Lunaphied @clayote @Colman @techokami helm also tends to just break shit every so often for fun i just need to get my act together and move to something else. never heard of vertico before tbh i'll have to check it out

@zzt @Lunaphied @clayote @Colman @techokami if you mean vertico for general completion then yes, it will pull in helm as a library and use it for the UI but that won't infect anything else. tbh i'm incredibly pissed off at helm after they tried to tell MELPA to delist my package since they made one themselves. thierry volpiatto can fite me irl

@theorangetheme @Lunaphied @zzt @clayote @Colman @techokami @jamiejennings highlights include https://circumstances.run/@hipsterelectron/113680457433333172

@theorangetheme @Lunaphied @zzt @clayote @Colman @techokami emacs 2024 talk on regex and text as an interface featuring copious citation of @jamiejennings if you're interested https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/regex dr. jennings does https://rosie-lang.org

@zzt @Lunaphied @clayote @Colman @techokami 100 stars on github somehow although the byte compiler is weird about my macro bullshit sometimes lmk if you want any features or shit breaks https://codeberg.org/cosmicexplorer/helm-rg i used to recommend deadgrep by wilfred hughes which was a really thoughtful bit of UI i was too lazy to do better than but he's a slopper now. if you can convince me to work on this again i would feel better about actually defeating him in the marketplace of ideas though

@Lunaphied @zzt @clayote @Colman @techokami my emacs package makes ripgrep matches editable and it is strictly more powerful and useful in every possible way along with not tying me to a specific compiler or build system and even working for projects i don't have to build in advance as a result

@fiore @ug i trust tor more than TLS but the false illusion of privacy is an insightful argument

@ozzelot @zzt he's the xkcd guy in nebraska

@clayote @techokami @zzt my emacs package does this

@Colman @clayote @techokami @zzt THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

@ozzelot @zzt yet another reason why i stan eli zaretskii to the fucking moon and back. absolute master rms wrangler

@ozzelot @zzt mostly he just concern trolls emacs-devel

@zzt MIT AI lab fuckboy is not going to lead us into the future

@zzt after stallman pushed back on me in the weirdest possible way when i proposed fixing the emacs configure script and bootstrapping known-good deps instead of LLM-riddled and actually backdoored shit a couple weeks ago i'm still evaluating whether he's controlled opposition the whole damn time

@charlotte @ug @Flaky and just btw intellectual "property" is directly a function of the ability to reassign rights away from the creator. if you can't transfer it then it's not property. getting played by capitalists calling a human right "property" and letting them define your terms is basic bitch behavior. bodily autonomy is a human right even if the matrix wants to use your body for energy

@charlotte @ug @Flaky the reason i keep mentioning it in the context of LLMs is because the LLMs directly marketing their usage as a replacement of the original work they consume for training is the exact reason they are (1) widely considered to be "evil" (2) emphatically infringing and not covered by fair use. i literally do not care about someone using a transformer model as a slower and worse search engine because they don't want to learn about indexing and compression, except that the models not citing their sources directly replaces the originals

@charlotte @ug @Flaky also mentioned in hachette vs IA was the clause in the transformative fair use multi-factor balancing test in which the existence of a secondary market for the books scanned by the IA (which certainly exists since the same copyright covers the physical and ebook versions) was basically the single major factor that made the IA's farcical little scheme clearly infringing and not covered by fair use
