One point that was raised in the #Nobreakspace recently: If we have devices capable of constant voice recognition, LLMs and a disregard for intellectual property could that mean when you say you had an idea and someone says "someone should patent that" that this could get "AI washed" and result in these big tech companies automatically filing a patent before you?

.o(Could we create some honeypots for that? And prove if/that they stole patent ideas?)

New song: die ärzte - Ist das noch [a statically generated website]

... if you let the Git CI regenerate it every 10 minutes?

(in reference to the song "Ist das noch Punkrock?" by Die Ärzte - trans. "Is that still punk rock?" and some infrastructure at the #Nobreakspace)

Another small oddity I notice playing with #LinuxMint 22.3 on its fresh M.2 SSD is the no-break space. I used to have that configured in Keyboard to be "Non-breaking space at the 3rd level," which for me meant hitting CapsLock+Space produced a hard space. That doesn't work now. Nor does trying other possibilities like 2nd level (Shift+Space).

However, since I use Espanso (a text expander), I can fix that indirectly by defining a third-level key in the Typo file to produce a unique character (I let Caps+a be ␠) and having ever-watchful Espanso quickly turn that into a real hard space.

(Note that defining the #NoBreakSpace directly in the Typo file by UTF-16 Encoding has never worked, though it does for other characters. Systems are weird, and one must work around them.)
