[[Updating to Emacs 28 on Linux Mint]].
I updated packages on Mint like a good boy, and now I’m getting complaints from composer when building a project.
Kickstarted the [[spacemacs]] / spacemacs packages update dance.
I created a [[quick function to help extract bold sections from text into bullet points]].

[[Concept map]]s seem like something I’d be interested in. A visual way of organising knowledge focusing on the relationships between concepts.
[[Vulpea]] and [[publicatorg]] look like they might be useful for my [[org-roam]] life.

Been having fun looking at [[repairability scores]] from the [[French repair index]] as displayed on Amazon.fr.
Claim: [[The free software movement is an example of neo-Luddism]].
Claim: [[The right to repair movement is an example of neo-Luddism]].
Both sound defensible - both movements are clearly not anti-technology, just anti the political economy of how software and hardware are controlled and commodified to the detriment of society.
US PIRG has a short report on what it considers to be the best laptop brands for repairability.

A ‘trick’ I use when I have some issue with a particular file in my [[org-publish]] pipeline on my remote server.
org-publish-project-alist
, set :base-extension "foo"
.:include
to include the file that’s got the issue.:include ("file-with-a-problem.org")
Nice, I replaced a cl-loop
with a mapconcat
in some of my output formatting, e.g. in [[Well-connected]]. mapconcat feels a bit more functional style, and it also gets rid of the superfluous parentheses I had in the output.
I might try and add [[Pagefind]] to my published garden.

How repairable is a [[Vision Pro]]?
