12·28 days agoThe point is that there’s going to be no difference, soon Google search will be just another chatbot interface.

TechTakes@awful.systems•Google is replacing search results with only the AIEnglish
33·29 days agoInformation-gathering agents are an evolution of Google Alerts. Beyond spotting changes, they can make sense of them, too.
… Links will become an afterthought with the coming changes to the Search results experience.
Web publishers should honestly just block googlebot at this point. Why should they provide credibility to whatever Google’s stochastic parrot hallucinates if Google won’t even give them any kickback?
So what do we search with instead of Google? There isn’t a lot of choice. There’s various flavours of Google or Bing.
Microsoft deprecated their Bing API back in August, instead telling people to use some Azure AI thing. DDG and the like weren’t affected because they have contracts, but I can’t imagine they’ll be renewed.

Emacs@programming.dev•Exporting from orgmodeEnglish
2·2 months agoSorry, I don’t use Latex and am entirely unfamiliar with it, I mostly use org-mode to export to HTML where CSS would be used for this. This Stack Overflow thread says you can add
:align |c|c|c|to#+attr_latexto get columns. Apparently column groups also will add these lines, which works in the ODT export but not the HTML one so may work in the Latex one.This blog post has a walkthrough on using an alternative table extension that may be helpful.

Emacs@programming.dev•Exporting from orgmodeEnglish
2·2 months agoWeird, are they getting overridden by something else in your config (a package or something). In an org-mode buffer, what’s the output of
C-h v org-export-with-sub-superscripts?Edit: worked out the issues, I wrote the one of the variable names wrong, it should be
org-export-with-sub-superscriptsnotorg-export-with-superscripts

Emacs@programming.dev•Exporting from orgmodeEnglish
2·2 months agoYou need to use a symbol, not a string:
(setq org-export-with-sub-superscripts '{} org-use-sub-superscripts '{})write something like this:
log_{critical}_{error}That’s what you’d need to write to have subscript, with the above set:
log_critical=> log_criticallog_{critical}=> logcritical
Edit:
org-export-with-superscripts=>org-export-with-sub-superscripts

Emacs@programming.dev•Exporting from orgmodeEnglish
1·2 months agoFirst of all: how can I turn of the need to manually stop the code execution for code blocks when exporting
From the docs:
You can prevent Org from evaluating code blocks for speed or security reasons:
- To speed up export, use the header argument ‘:eval never-export’
- For greater security, set the
org-export-use-babelvariable tonil, but understand that header arguments will have no effect in this case.
The next thing is, that my function names include underscores, which in orgmode translates to making the following text lowercase.
Do you mean subscript, like HELLOWORLD? Also from the docs:
If you write a text where the underscore is often used in a different context, Org’s convention to always interpret these as subscripts can get in your way. Configure the variable
org-use-sub-superscriptsand/ororg-export-with-sub-superscriptsto change this convention. For example, when setting these variables to{},‘a_b’is not displayed/exported as a subscript, but‘a_{b}’ is.

Fediverse memes@feddit.uk•A PSA to any meme poster of PieFedEnglish
4·2 months agoconversely, feddit.uk is a LEMMY instance. They run a custom UI frontend and backend both currently based off of version 0.19.17 (UI: 0.19.17-2-g4f0da5f5 & BE: 0.19.17-feddit).
For anyone curious, the modifications aren’t that significant. The two UI changes are adding an explicit
referrerPolicyto iframes and detecting avif files as images. Backend has more changes like blocking NSFW stuff, enabling image proxying for lemmings.world and some user agent stuff.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Nurse wins settlement in trans pronouns disputeEnglish
73·2 months agoGender as a term has existed since the 14th century, the distinction that gender = social/cultural aspects and sex = biological aspects is a recent phenomenon, but still predates the internet. The problem with ‘biological male’ is it actually doesn’t tell you anything, it’s just a way of calling someone a man with plausible deniability. Are you talking about chromosomes, sholder-to-hip ratio, hormone levels or any of the other biological stuff we conceptually tie to sex? And what is the BBC referring to when calling this unnamed woman a ‘biological male’ (they’re not referring to anything biological, they are calling this woman a man).
also, right from the article disproving your annoyance…
They’re referring to the nurse, not the trans woman. The part I quoted is literally the only time the article refers to the trans woman.

The BBC sure have got the ‘not technically misgendering’ thing down to a science, calls her a ‘biological male’ (nonsense term made up by internet activists) and refuses to use she/her pronouns for the trans woman.

2·2 months agoMost people downvoting almost certainly only read the title. I do agree with what’s being said, I just don’t like the style, but that’s just a taste thing. The title is bad though, it’s not relevant to the article and is factually wrong, unless I’ve missed an announcement of Valve have given Flatpak/Flathub guys money.
