In other news, #Emacs Newsticker seems to forget the status of some of the feeds between restarts.
It might not be its issue. I haven't seen this with RSS reader apps though.
After two days of excitement, I'm entering the trough of disappointment with RSS in #Emacs.

I'm pleased with myself. I'm trying to fake animation in Beamer slides using overlays. Fiddly, 1 line per each of multiple images. In org-mode.
But I've discovered org-mode macros, which can handle arbitrary emacs-lisp, so I can do it with one macro and a single invocation (with the number of images as a parameter).
Layering 3-ish languages (org-mode, e-lisp, Beamer-latex) isn't ideal, but it works. I just put

My reading of this is that for this (truly horrible) attack to get you, you'd need to run an app in which it's embedded for an extended period of time on your computer. So the bad guys could hack me if I downloaded an app from a sketchy source (unlikely) or they managed to hack any one of Adobe or Mozilla or Microsoft Office or Chrome or Safari or Apple Music or Emacs or YouTube or or or … (less unlikely).

Random question. Usually, #Emacs tracks the column position when you change lines. If you're in column position 37 on line 4 and you move down to line 5, you'll be in column position 37 on line 5. Every now and then, this behavior randomly stops (I say randomly, I must accidentally trigger it somehow.) Moving up and down always moves the cursor to column 1. Saving the buffer, killing it, a…

When did Enriched mode come to #Emacs?? This is the first time I'm reading about it.

I have used mastodon.el to write quite a bit, but seldom read. Mostly because my brain could never see the boundries between toots. mastodon-alt (https://github.com/rougier/mastodon-alt) really fixes this for me. It's not just pretty, it makes it parse-able.

It’s been about 3 weeks since I’ve took my tasks from Workflowy to Org in #Emacs.
It took me quite a bit of tweaking to get it as simple as I like it.
This is not my first experience with #orgmode and the learning curve is pretty steep.
For my usage the results are pretty good so far. …

Elfeed and mastodon.el are fun.

Follow-up observations of a subset at higher resolution and greater depth with the Chandra X-ray Observatory are used to map the gaseous intra-cluster medium, while strong-gravitational-lensing features identified in Hubble Space Telescope imaging allow us to constrain the total mass distribution.
