I don't know why but I keep rewatching this edited video of an anime where @gentoo-official gets installed on the entire school network.

why org mode? why not laτeχ? more fics need more latex! (other (non fic) types of writing are avalible.) (unfortunately.)

Alright guys I NEED to get my writing off of google docs (fuckin ai sellouts) and into a proper writing app / website.

Anyone have good suggestions?

MUST list:

Must be subscription based so I can access it from multiple devices.

Must have online saving in case my device breaks.

Must have a decent filing system (I like to put folders inside folders if that makes sense)

Must be compatible with Apple products.

Preferences:

If there is a payment requirement I worked vastly prefer it to be a one time payment rather than a monthly or yearly subscription.

I would love for it to have ‘goals’ as one of the features. Especially if it can send me notifications and pester me to write on days I’ve chosen. Percentage tracking is great.

Dark mode works be lovely. Dyslexia bothers me less when I can adjust the ‘page’ color display.

Timers. I’d love if I can do writing sprints in-app.

Hit me with your top recs??

I appreciate you all!

oh for sure

they should invent tech issues that other people have experienced and solved

If you know AWK without looking anything up, you are more powerful than 70% of the Linux population.

good take 👍 regex with more bullshit on top? unconscionable.

the last song you sang aloud: your god (god's dick) by Laura Jane Grace. its just a fun song to sing! yesterday (ish) i sang so many shitty songs that i cannot remember at a bar with other people though. that was fun.

your favourite crisp flavor: eh, cheese and onion or prawn cocktail. both are fine, but im not the greatest crisp fan. as a kid we had marmite crisps that were good. and by good i mean not crap and not any of the big 4 flavours.

the last book you opened: Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique by Sa'ed Atshan. i didnt have the opportunity to read much of it, and i no longer have access to the book, but it was good what i read!

earbuds, headphones, or nothing: depends. i prefer silence to music, but music to any other sounds. headphones > earbuds though.

the last place you went, other than home: like i said earlier i went bar yesterday with mates. actually god like i said the other day doing shit irl is tiring, and god have i done shit irl recently. (yesterday i also played board games with furries and helped clean a room full of protest stuff)

a color that looks good on you: fuck if i know. so long as my clothes aint too worn to shreds ill wear em. (i think a few years ago people have said pastels dont look bad on me) (i may be misremembering though)

the last trailer you saw: minecraft movie lol. great film to watch while drunk. even better to watch while sober but surrounded by drunks who memorised all the memes and shit like steves lava chicken lyrics

i never have any idea who to tag, so uhh @q4os-tde-official, @kde-plasma-official, @wayfire-official, and anyone else who sees this, feel free to join in

a fun lil catch up tag ! ❣️

thanks for tagging me @thearcaneuniversity ☺️

the last song you sang aloud: “last time (i seen the sun)” from sinners, i think ? but i sing aloud so much that another song might have snuck in 😭

your favourite crisp flavor: salt & vinegar !!! it’s gotta be. 😤

the last book you opened: Persuasion by Austen; i’m at the very end once again !!

earbuds, headphones, or nothing:

headphones, for sure

the last place you went, other than home: my best friend’s graduation party !! & before that, the uni library heheh 🙈

a color that looks good on you: grey ! especially warm greys. light blues also look pretty good.

the last trailer you saw: mmmm, it might not have been the last one, but the one my friends and i talked about most recently is for the movie Him (the horror movie about a football player?)

tagging: @bone-dyke , @notesbyash , @coffeemrk , @academicfever & anyone else who’d like to join ! 🩵

as an example of how sed is more than just regex: regex cannot find palindromes. a regex can only deal with finite information, but words can be arbitrarily long. it is mathematically impossible for a regex to find palindromes (of arbitrary length.)

but sed is more than just regex, so you can find palindromes like so:

sed -nE 'h ; :x ; /^.?$/{g;p;d} ; s/^(.)(.*)\1$/\2/ ; tx'

and if you want to remove whitespace and punctuation then just do

sed -nE 'h ; s/[^[:alnum:]]//g ; tx ; :x ; /^.?$/{g;p;d} ; s/^(.)(.*)\1$/\2/ ; tx'

sed 's/[rRlL]/w/g' is the same as sed 's/[rl]/w/gi'. but why not just do sed 'y/rlRL/wwWW/'?

[sed-official]

#what on earth is the y flag?

the y command is a command to change letters, so y/abc/xyz/ changes a to x, b to y, and c to z. therefore y/rlRL/wwWW/ changes hello to hewwo, and HELLO to HEWWO, while the original ones would change it to HEwwO.

as for learning more sed, please do! but be aware that sed is more than just regex - it is a fully functional scripting language. point being: learning regex and learning sed are related, but different.

now, preserving case is always a bastard. and i cannot really help you much there. but thatll always suck unless youre using a proper programming language instead of a turing tarpit.

sed 's/[rRlL]/w/g' is the same as sed 's/[rl]/w/gi'. but why not just do sed 'y/rlRL/wwWW/'?
