 @488cf7e2 @59893ad8 I can't tell if you're joking 😭 
 why does everyone call them arrow functions in #javascript instead of lambdas or closures? is it there to not scare devs off or is there another reason 
 fedi, what's a girlfailure

 @2a48eef0 welcome to me freely speaking about how much nazis suck lol 
 https://merovingian.club is a nazi instance, look at @shortstories@merovingian.club @mrhorsetwat@merovingian.club . Perhaps the name itself is a dogwhistle. Also their instance emojis say a lot: https://emojos.in/merovingian.club

 @488cf7e2 I didn't mean this instance!! emacs.ch is a bastion of hope and love. I was referring to the claims that trans women on fedi are very often n*zis which is a frankly insane thing to say 
 everytime someone's mad about trans people, even in more "liberal" places like here, it's only about trans women specifically. Y'all just hate women. 
 was hitting issues in my #emacs config which manifested due to using use-package and straight.el along with setting straight-use-package-by-default to t.

Using use-package for built-ins like org-mode would error out since straight would try to download a package by that name.

Simple resolution was setting :straight to nil manually in that use-package form, so that it wouldn't be downloaded. 

Hope this helps someone (or maybe it's really obvious and i was just clueless). Blog post I wrote about this, with much of the same content
