Any other modus theme users think modus-operandi sounds like a dark-theme and modus-vivendi sounds like a light theme? It's kinda like a kiki/bouba thing methinks.
Because I decided to KISS and just serve assets from the application, I went to delete the unused Webflow account I just made earlier to day. To delete my account I first had to find the not very visible delete option in security settings, where it said I had to file a support request to delete my account. I jumped through some more hoops and filed a deletion request. Now I got an email saying I have to answer a bunch of question to delete my account. I know virtually nothing about the product itself, but making it that hard to just delete an account leaves a very sour taste. I can't see myself using this again.

What do people use for a SaaS website these days?
Emphasis on website, I already have a webapp stack.
I've used Next.js and Vercel in the past, which is great, but also feels overkill 😅. Honestly, I think I might just go for some WYSWIG solution. Heard good things about web flow... hmm
I'm a pretty heavy filter user and I have two orthogonal ideas for improving them:
The first one is to have a soft-filter in addition to the actual filter. The soft-filter is just like the normal filter except instead of removing the posts from your content stream, they are tinted red. This would be handy so that I could dump words in there willy-nilly without accidentally blocking my entire feed. I don't know how many new posts I'm filtering, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's in the 30%-50% range. This would be especially useful for fuzzy filters where it's unclear what exactly will be filtered:
The second one is to have an LLM filter where you insert the post text into a template, say:
Does the text below the line contain either
- Discussion about X, previously Twitter
- Discussion about Threads by Meta
- Discussion about American politics
- Discussion about JavaScript frameworks
- Excessive swearing
If it does, respond "yes", otherwise respond "no". If you are unsure, respond "no". Your response must be exactly one word, which must be exactly "yes" or "no".

<<post text>>
and filter the post based on the answer. There would be one template for the normal filter and one for the soft-filter.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea and I'm certainly not asking anyone to implement this, but what do you guys think? Would you use it?

Seems like this is a common error right now. In any case it makes me curious about discord alternatives.
What's the state of the art in #FOSS discord alternatives?
@fd10fae8 Well, I want to go to India because I''m part Indian. I have some relatives that I visited when I was a kid, but that's quite a while ago so I don't remember exactly where it was 😅.
I've been using pretty much the same note-taking system for over 7 months now. I settled on org-roam in a git repo. I used to be rigorous about linking, committing at the end of each day, processing yesterdays diff in the morning and all that jazz, but now I just kinda find use it with no system. I use consult-rip-grep for searching which works pretty well.
Linking and looking at the knowledge graph is pretty fun, but I hardly ever use it tbh.

I have a Git repository ~/Knowledge where I put most of my knowledge (notes, code, datasets, etc) aside from work stuff.
I used to have the remote URL be a hardcoded directory path /Volume/Backup/Knowledge and every now and then I would plug in a memory stick which mounted to /Volume/Backup, and push to the memory stick. My memory stick just died a few days ago so I had to find a new backup location.
I've had so many memory sticks and external SSDs die on me by now so I've bit the bullet and moved to a cloud service, that is to say a Hetzner VPS. I set up a bare Git repo on ~/Knowledge on the server and now I just push to there.
I guess I need to make sure that my Hetzner server is accessible in case my Mac's disk is inaccessible 🤔.

The main thing I miss about static typing is being able to look at a function in isolation. When working on a function in a dynamically typed language it's so hard to know what exactly is valid input to the function and what in the world the input actually means in human terms. You basically just have to know all the call-sites by heart. Not ideal imo.
While transitioning from #golang to #clojure, I really missed being able to hover over any variable and field and learn what that thing actually means and what the different variants of a thing are. I found that Go code is exceptionally well documented. Exported names are almost always documented, so finding out what a thing is just consists of going there and reading it. In Clojure I have to do code archeology to find out what I'm dealing with.
iirc there is an #emacs mode which draws a line from the top to the bottom of the screen to the bottom of the screen and the column on the cursor. Like hl-line-mode, but rotated 90 degrees.
What is this mode called?
Emacs master broke org-roam for me, so I switched back to emacs-mac brew package, which has been rebased on top of Emacs 29. smooth scrolling feeling good as ever :)
@25e55e77 my chatgpt says 0 which is technically a valid answer, since it doesn't say whether sally and the brothers are half or full siblings, but the reasoning chatgpt made doesn't make sense:
Sally has 0 sisters. Each brother has Sally and another sister, making it seem like there are 2 sisters, but they're counting Sally herself.
