I'm using this shell shortcut a lot - you can use Alt+. to insert the last argument from your previous command into the command you're currently typing.

#cli #shell #linux #unix

I can't tell y'all how much I love #Emacs. It was the first interface that really intrigued me. It was the first interface where I felt like there was so much I could learn about. And Emacspeak brought it to life for me. Headings spoken by a deeper voice. Italics spoken by a higher, rather fuzzy voice. Bold spoken by a deep voice, almost like headings. Because headings are bold, and large. A calendar where I could move around the actual calendar, not just a list of events. Want to know what date next Friday is? Find Friday of this week, and simply press Down arrow. Or C-n if you're really into Emacs. And there it is. Oh and Nov-mode (nov.el). I can't say enough about that package. An EPUB reader that doesn't choke on a huge book. And Markdown-mode and Org-mode, and even HTML-mode. With Emacspeak, I could hear the syntax highlighting. That way, I knew if I didn't close a bracket pair, or quotes, not only by the punctuation itself, but how the voice sounds.

And now Emacspeak hasn't been updated in a year. Luckily, I think T.V. Raman has made fixes up to Emacs 30. But beyond that, I don't know. I hope it's not abandoned forever. I maybe could use Emacs through Orca, or BRLTTY, or maybe Speechd-el, if I can figure out how it's supposed to be set up and used well. But it feels like such a pail imitation of Emacspeak. But then, unconfigured Emacs doesn't feel all that special either.

Isn't it about time we start rallying against #proprietary #firmware already?

From every #EV and #car being a glorified #telemetry machine, to every chip out there basically harboring #SecretSauce with the "trust me bro" guarantee attached.

Neither #US interests, #Chinese interests or private interests should hold so much power. No one should.

All firmware; I repeat, ALL FIRMWARE should be #OpenFirmware. The firmware isn't open? #Ban the #product outright.

For all you cis folks. Feel free to boost.

I'm so happy it won't fade into obscurity on reddit and will instead find new eyes! The community behind #Linux, #SteamDeck and #Foss on #Mastodon is such a lovely one!

Lutris is a free, open-source launcher for games, emulation, redeemed #GOG and #EpicGames which runs on Linux and incedibly well on your #SteamDeck

Thank you for sharing the Q&A, Liam. Its very kind for #gaming <3
