Does it mean that at the moment of releasing 2.0.4 the Trezor team already knew there is a fake firmware circling around?

I wonder if Trezor team communicated that in some maybe different way than that line in the CHANGELOG. Not blaming them of course, just wondering.

916 Days of Emacs 3 years ago

I don't think the fact that Vim and Emacs were created a long time ago makes them inferior.

They keep developing and they are up to date with many/all programming-features. There are bunch of extensions that VScode just doesn't have despite it's huge extension store.

Also the main thing for me about these editors and especially Emacs is that you can program it. Not just configure it but actually program and do anything with it. You can hook into any piece of the code and change it. You can read the source code of any "extension" and patch it on the fly. I don't think I'm aware of any other editors that allow that.

It's huge power.

I love such readings, they often inspire me to start (at this moment "to keep") my "digital organizers" in shape but I always been wondering for how long people can keep such dedication to the process and how the process becomes useful later.

I started with GTD a long time ago, I don't even remember what digital tool I used at that time. Then I switched to Todoist, then Wunderlist, then some cli tools like Taskwarrior, then org-mode, then Evernote + various todo apps then Obsidian + org-mode (org-roam is awesome but I need GOOD mobile support) so my GTD is not even a GTD now in it the original sense.

And I still don't see any serious benefits from the process. Sure, tasks are there and I'm aware of them, I look at them and do them. But that's it. For some reason, I expected super productivity from myself while doing all this. I don't see myself productive still. Especially comparing to the author and many other authors of similar posts. I'm pretty sure I could track all those tasks in one Evernote note or Obsidian file or one Org file or even in one piece of paper (no mobile support though) and stay on the same level of productivity I am right now.

My question(s) is. Is there anyone who make notes or track tasks for a more than a year period? How often do you change your workflow? Do you find it all useful and how the tracking helps you now? Was there any time you thanked yourself for doing all this during a long period of time?

p.s. I'm of course not talking about a "project" tasks in Jira or issues on Github. I'm talking about tracking/notting of your life(todos) and thoughts(notes).

I looked at Logseq just yesterday exactly because I was trying to move somewhere from org-mode (due to its mobile limitations). Seems like Logseq just supports org-mode formatting but it actually lacks a lot of org-mode functionality. One of which is time tracking (did I miss it?). That's incredibly important feature of org mode for me.

So as far as I understand Hans (the author) is FreeBSD maintainer and he made the change in the source code. Community isn't happy about it (based on the email thread).

Is there any person who can actually revert the change ignoring Hans? How does it work in FreeBSD?

I'm quite unhappy with such changes. There are terms I used to and I never thought about those terms in any way bad meaning. Are people who rename Master to Main latent racist? Why, by reading "Master", they think about slavery?

It would be much better if we vote for such changes. Maybe give voice only to people who potentially may be offended by such words. Hans doesn't look as a person who can be offended by word Master though...

Very sad tendency is happening.

Actually if you install NoScript it should not eat your memory too much. Even if it eats something it will save your memory by blocking javascript which is pretty good trade off.

Interestingly it doesn't work faster for Vim+Tmux on MacOS. I always thought it's issue of iTerm2 and Terminal.app but as README states it's probably something related to Vim or Tmux.

Glad Windows is supported now.

EDITED: Just tried to run it on Windows and didn't get it working. I expect I should not have Rust installed, right? Error says something about winpty-agent - "agent executable does not exist"

Todoist for Linux 8 years ago

Hi Everyone.

Due to lack of Todoist client for Linux I've made one for myself with some important global shortcuts. I hope it can be useful for someone.

As far as I know, Emacs users are disabling Intro page at all.

Also I can't suggest to use M-x customize because it writes some code into your init.el file. For me, it's important to keep this file as simple as possible with my code only.

But, in case if you're using Emacs for some simple stuff then M-x customize is ok.
