Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.

    As I noted in my patch message and in the previous post, behavior gets a li’l weird when someone leaves mml-enable-flowed on (the default!) but forgets to turn on use-hard-newlines (not the default! And since it’s buffer local, it needs to be turned on every single time, for example with a hook).

    So with these two settings kept at their defaults, separate paragraphs will get flowed together with my patch! So I sent a new version of the patch to the same #71017 thread that’ll auto-harden according to markdown semantics as a dwimmy fallback.

    I like Chris Hayes’ take as clipped in this video 43 minutes in:

    The way that so many prominent voices have focused so exclusively on colleges feels honestly a bit decadent to me. Like we’re doing a paper doll version of conflict because the actual reality of what’s happening in Gaza is so horrific, unceasing, and high-stakes, it’s more enjoyable to argue about what college kids are doing than to confront the human misery and destruction that’s happening in the actual conflict that is, of course, the source of these protests. What seems to be most worth debating isn’t campus speech but whether the US government should contine to fund and support an Israeli war in Gaza that has pushed more than a million people to the brink of famine. A war that has damaged half of the buildings in Gaza. A war that has failed to bring home most of the hostages held by Hamas, that has in fact lead to the death of some those hostages.

    This is a good video, thanks.
    I’m not all onboard with the conclusions: “YouTube & TikTok good” (I believe they’re overall bad. Fund Peertube.) and “Socialist sentiment is growing” (I believe the overton window has been slipping & skipping to the right for decades now.)
