I find it funny that you call Lisps and Emacs obsolete and dead, when they are more alive than ever. I agree with most of the article, but I think you ignore what makes these two great

no question is a bad question friend! a lot of people like me, and other power users, have keyboard driven workflows in their computer, and as such find title bars and window buttons to be of little use, and not justifying the screen space they take. This is mostly a window manager (WM)/ desktop environment (DE) dependent thing, regardless of distro. this is specially true when you have a tiling WM, like Hyprland.

@triplenadir thanks for the heads-up, I edited the title, since I never meant any negative message with this

There are many reasons why a Lisp is a great fit for most software. More specifically, websites are tree like data structures, and you really can’t beat Lisps at that, due to homoiconicity and so much more. some thoughts here:

v0.0.14 now uses libcurl and works nicely :)

         (file-port (open-input-file the-file))
         (handle (curl-easy-init))
         (_ (begin
              (curl-easy-setopt handle
                                'url
                                (format #f "smtp://~a:~a" access-server
                                        access-port))
              (curl-easy-setopt handle
                                'verbose #t)
              (curl-easy-setopt handle
                                'use-ssl 1)
              (curl-easy-setopt handle
                                'username access-key)
              (curl-easy-setopt handle
                                'password access-secret)
              (curl-easy-setopt handle
                                'mail-from from-address)
              (curl-easy-setopt handle
                                'mail-rcpt
                                (list to-address))
              (curl-easy-setopt handle
                                'readdata file-port)
              (curl-easy-setopt handle
                                'upload #t)))
         (r (curl-easy-perform handle #t))
         (rr (catch #t
                    (lambda ()
                      (bytevector->string r "utf-8"))
                    (lambda (key . args)
                      r))))

i understand the mixed feelings about AI, but I think we should stop and think that we sometimes have nice and fun use cases, like image generation

Sorry you feel this way ! my code is completely artisanal you might say, I only use AI for code comments and docstrings that is all. in that regard it is useful as a tool. i understand the world has now very mixed feelings about it, but it’s just another tool for us digital carpenters.

nice idea! it is definitely a better approach that i will consider, thanks

it’s quite a good idea actually to have inter-instance communication! i will have to put more thought into it, but definitely added to the TODOs

the like system is a sort of trust score, kinda like stars in ultimate guitar, so the community can downvote entries and that will help filter out bad content

I think it is certainly possible to do , but I think it is not really something interesting for most people. I therefore think that it is easier to handle it all on wikimusic side, also considering permissions and content per instance, etc

i am in the same boat, also got banned without apparent reason, think i commented too quick… have heard nothing back from my appeals so i will soon also delete my Reddit, viva the free fediverse
