Shit that drives me nuts about #emacs :
I use lsp-mode to have modern niceties for editing code, and which-key to aid in remembering hotkeys.
lsp-mode has a bunch of prefix keys, but somehow Emacs just displayed "g +prefix" and the like for them. It didn't tell me what each group is.
Turns out there is "which-key integration" in the lsp-mode docs: emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/p…
So you *have to enable integrating it with the thing you already have enabled*. Now it displays "g +goto" as expected.

@Keev Zpovědní tajemství je církevním právem stanovený a církví těžkými tresty postihovaný závazek mlčenlivosti o věcech, které se kněz dozví v rámci svátosti smíření, což je obřad s jasně ohraničený začátkem a koncem. Na běžné pastorační rozhovory se zpovědní tajemství nevztahuje.
Nedává smysl, aby se zpovědní tajemství vztahovalo na jiné osoby než na duchovní se zpovědní juristikcí (právem udělovat svátost smíření). Není důvod pro nějaké tajemství obdobné zpovědnímu pro jáhny nebo pastorační asistenty a asistentky, kteří a které nemají žádnou jurisdikci obdobnou zpovědní jurisdikci.
Není důvod, proč by církev měla zavazovat stát k ochraně něčeho, co sama svými předpisy nechrání.

#Slop is low-quality media - including writing and images - made using generative artificial intelligence technology.
Quelle: Wikipedia.
Open source projects have to deal with a growing number of low-quality vulnerability reports based on AI. See for example this comment from Daniel Stenberg, maintainer of #Curl:
I'm sorry you feel that way, but you need to realize your own role here. We receive AI slop like this regularly and at volume. You contribute to unnecessary load of curl maintainers and I refuse to take that lightly and I am determined to act swiftly against it. Now and going forward.You submitted what seems to be an obvious AI slop "report" where you say there is a security problem, probably because an AI tricked you into believing this. You then waste our time by not telling us that an AI did this for you and you then continue the discussion with even more crap responses - seemingly also generated by AI.

So a crazy thing happened. In a crime thriller film called Les chambres rouges (Red Rooms, 2023) there is a scene where the hacker protagonist is attempting to purchase a snuff film in online auction. The auction happens via IRC or IRC-like chatting environment and to my surprise there's actually me @rolle and my wife @mustikkasoppa who are one of the bidders.
1) The nickname of my wife is mistakenly written as "mustikasoppa" (with one k) but if I recall correctly she has used a mistakenly written nickname in the past
2) We are both operators and on the same IRC channel as we've been for the past 17 years
This is not a coincidence. One nickname can be made up by accident but not two with these features and definitely not in a French movie. My wife's nick "mustikkasoppa" is Finnish and means "blueberry soup".
Our IRC logs are more or less public because of open source and statistics so I presume the scene has been made with chatgpt which has scraped our nicks from the Internet so that they ended up in the movie. We still chat via IRC every day together.
The era of AI... Do your background check, folks. I'm glad this wasn't a dramatized documentary film but a complete fiction. However my wife and I are real. Mixed feelings.

Just released a new version of wcurl:
github.com/curl/wcurl/releases…
There's 3 new exciting features:
* New option "-o|-O|--output" for those who would like to choose the output filename.
* Automatic percent-decoding of output filenames, especially handy for URLs which are not written in Latin-based languages.
* Default filename set to "index.html" for those cases where wcurl/curl couldn't identify an output filename from the URL. You can now download everything with wcurl!
New parameter -o|-O|--output|output= which allows the user to choose the output filename. Default to index.html as filename if none can be inferred from the URL. Percent-decode output filenames by ...GitHub
