“Defaults files” are a convenient tool to store, group, and combine related command line options.
E.g., instead of typing
pandoc --pdf-engine=xelatex -V csquotes
one could create a file `pdf.yaml` with
pdf-engine: xelatex
variables: {csquotes: true}
and use it with
pandoc -d pdf.yaml
We've just posted our November 2022 Progress Report along with a bunch of big package, installer, and OS image updates!
Teaser: USB3, headphones jack for all machines, display brightness and resolution switching, sleep mode, and more!
We're also switching from PulseAudio to PipeWire for desktop users, so don't be alarmed if you get prompted about that!

One of the things I do for a living is reviewing gadgets. Right now I've reviewed the Xiaomi Notebook Pro 120G, which is a powerful compact laptop with a pro-grade screen and a couple of suprises up its sleeve. Do have a look in case you're in the market for a laptop. And I'd be grateful if you could Boost for reach!

Ik merk dat ik steeds minder plaatjes post. Dat komt doordat ik niet altijd de tijd en aandacht heb om er een beschrijving bij te verzinnen. Bij cartoons is dat namelijk best moeilijk. Maar als je het nalaat, krijg je steevast commentaar dat je geen omschrijving hebt gepost en dat je daardoor blinden en slechtzienden (en mensen met andere handicaps) discrimineert.
Maar doordat ik nu minder plaatjes post dan ik zou willen benadeel ik vooral de mensen die graag een Fokke en Sukke willen zien.

Been following this critique with a lot of interest & have a hot take.
Mastodon is unbearably white only if you're unbearably American. It's refreshingly not yet Americanized for many from the Global South with American Discourse™️ all over our TL.

I get that Black Twitter is uninterested in Global South encounters with racist, fascist hate speech, but that also reveals Black Twitter's fundamentally American gaze.
Even more American is this framing of "Marginalized users self-moderating will subject themselves to violence." Who is currently moderating violent content on Twitter? Marginalized Global South workers, employed in highly precarious Big Tech fronts in far-flung corners of Asia.
