emacs users horrified to discover that "meta-x" now means two awful social media companies
@ahihi why would you do that to me
@th4 some pieces of knowledge are too heavy to carry alone
@ahihi we could start spelling it ◇-x and forget meta ever happened.
@ahihi why do you hurt me like this
@ahihi vim write in since those companies are full of shit: why not "Escape Colon"
@ahihi Well, they've already got Stallman's cooties on them.
@ahihi that’s brilliant and horrible. Thankfully I was raised in a meta-free environment so it’s always been ESC-x for me.

@waider @ahihi I heard OpenAI is changing their name to ESC next year.

Yeah, yeah, silly joke, innit? But think again, are you sure it's not going to happen? 😏

@ahihi I’m going to try very hard to forget this
@ahihi speaking as a many-decades emacs user, I'd say that makes perfect sense. one labyrinth of unfathomable evil deserves two more. :)
@ahihi I've been using emacs long enough I still sometimes type facebook-twitter
@ahihi ...but "control-meta-x" sounds like you can fix it.

@ahihi Nada seguras, y por tu libertad de expresión te bloquean.

No así si se publica pornografía o drogas.

Hay niños y adolescentes en esas malditas redes.

¡Son un asco!

@ahihi A lot of people prefer alt-wayland.
@ahihi Thank you. Now I’m sad.
@ahihi Good thing there's escape.
@ahihi just think X as the X11 logo.
^^^^ Yet another reason to stand by vi.
@ahihi
@ahihi mark zuckerberg buying ctrl-alt domain right now
@ahihi Not horrified at all! Means I get to stamp them out with my fingers all day, everyday!
@ahihi Be honest, @lkundrak. Since jls is no longer here, did you boost it just to ruin my evening?
@ptesarik yes sir

@lkundrak Let me inform you that the command execute-extended-command, which is an interactive native-compiled Lisp function in ‘simple.el’ is also bound to <menu>, <execute> and <f9> by default.

Got you! Hahaha!

🦶 🍷

@ptesarik /me presses <menu>, <execute> and <f9>
