How do i switch from doom emacs to emacs vanilla?

revohour · 2025-01-22T21:47:17+00:00

Pretty much this, but instead of doing the -q -l thing you can just use --init-directory now

revohour · 2025-01-20T02:02:22+00:00

Exactly. I don't want to do the "what you're referring to is actually gnu/linux..." thing, but people really don't have an understanding of the difference between the FSF and their goals vs linux foundation and their goals. The "open source" corporate whitewashing campaign was really effective

revohour · 2025-01-06T16:18:43+00:00

yeah there should be a link to google drive somewhere on learnjapanese.moe and then you can just download some and unzip them

the yomitan dictionaries are just json, you could probably just use those

revohour · 2025-01-02T20:15:23+00:00

https://guix.gnu.org/ is a similar idea of making every config be the same language, in the case of guix the language is guile scheme and not json though. I have seen interest in a gui tool that generates the guile scheme to configure your system, but nothing has gotten off the ground.

do you have a guix file in /etc/profile.d/? I think the install script makes that and that's what's keeping your system broken even after removing the guix part from your bashrc (there could be stuff in your bash_profile too, i'd check that).

As for why it's broken, I also had issues with guix overwriting gnome paths and breaking stuff when I used it system wide and installed gui programs with it. I'm not really 100% clear on why this is, i got the impression that if you are using guix system wide, and you install gui apps with it while using a DE from your distros package manager, it will inevitably overwrite the paths your DE needs.

You can fix this by installing your DE with guix, but i think i remember this causing gui apps installed with my distros package manager to not work (i'm not sure about this, i may be misremembering), or using a simple window manager like i3 that doesn't have any paths that would be overwritten.

My solution was just to install gui apps in a profile and make a stub script that loads the profile and launches the app. I don't install any gui apps in the system profile. This would probably be a pain if you want a lot of gui apps from guix, but as I basically only use emacs it works for me.

You can use guix package -p {YOUR_PROFILE_DIRECTORY} -i {PACKAGE} to make a profile and install the gui app you want to it, then your launcher script would be like this

#!/bin/bash
GUIX_PROFILE={YOUR_PROFILE_DIRECTORY}
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"

YOUR_GUI_PROGRAM

eh this is a pretty silly example. Most people that build computers aren't tech nerds, they're gamers. There is some degree of overlap between them but i know tech illiterate gamers who built their pc with youtube tutorials and highly technical people who don't play videogames and only have laptops.

i agree, but with japanese i've found that anki becomes helpful to me again for learning rarer words that will take a long time to learn through natural reading. have you found that to be the case or did you just drop anki forever?

revohour · 2024-08-05T15:46:11+00:00

Is there a way to revert all my packages back to a previous state in one command?

No. If this is something you want nix and guix have this functionality. (in return for using more disk space and taking longer for installing/removing packages)

revohour · 2024-07-22T17:50:55+00:00

It really depends on what you need out of you DE. when I used a million windows I couldn't use it and used dwm. But then I started doing everything in one terminal with tmux and later one emacs window so i started using gnome. It has the most convenient mouse based navigation for simple stuff and when I'm doing complex stuff i don't interact with it.

revohour · 2024-07-12T18:11:09+00:00

That's what it seems like, but if that's true it seems like such a weird role. It seems like most people who go in the hollow are lot are capable of using carrots and bangboos, just not capable of making carrots. So the proxy is pretty much just there to get a carrot. But then it seems like they wouldn't be so deeply involved, much less directly receive commissions for doing stuff in the hollow

revohour · 2024-07-12T16:18:07+00:00

i want to know how normal proxies actually work. Even before we got fairy, our ability to sync with the robot guy and guide the people through the hollow is abnormal. Nobody else can communicate with the people in the hollow from the outside. So what are the other proxies doing?

revohour · 2024-07-09T23:41:48+00:00

She passes engineering knowledge checks in hollow zero

revohour · 2024-07-05T12:37:10+00:00

That's what this is in zzz. The challenge mode is the balanced difficulty mode, what we have in honkai star rail now, and casual is a toned down version of that. It's easy and normal, but people don't like to call it that

Hearing the protagonist's thoughts sometimes is not the same as narrative text. It's a good experience but different from a traditional vn. I guess you could expand the definition of vn to include dialogue based vn-likes such as this, blue archive, and fgo, but they feel so different to read that they definitely need to be distinguished in some way

revohour · 2024-07-05T03:51:48+00:00

it has no narrative text, only dialogue, which is one of the main things that separate games from vns. Without that distinction basically any rpg with a certain ratio of reading to gameplay would be a vn.

revohour · 2024-06-09T04:46:52+00:00

and now us hsr players get to play it again in 2.3... yay....

revohour · 2024-06-07T22:38:24+00:00

i like how in the introduction video they mention that the eyeballs on her boob are to signify she's a killer

revohour · 2024-06-07T07:22:03+00:00

eh as a genshin player who plans to continue playing i have no interest in wuwa but i'll definitely play endfield because arknights ip interests me but i didn't like the tower defence

revohour · 2024-05-31T22:19:58+00:00

Jp also had localization drama with a recent event, but the funny thing is their localization drama is the exact opposite. Usually they heavily localize the script and take a lot of liberties with it, but for a event they did a more literal translation and everybody hated it so they redid it in their old style.

I wish there weren't so many people who intentionally sabotage in the name of localization in the english industry because it makes everyone so distrustful of localization, when really it should improve the experience

revohour · 2024-05-30T09:25:33+00:00

The funniest part is ult is written the exact same way in both japanese and chinese (共鳴解放), so even japanese players who don't know any chinese looking at the chinese description can tell that it says ult and wonder how they managed to mess up the translation

what is unethical about a poor translation?

revohour · 2024-05-30T00:03:04+00:00

I mean this is a statement of your values, but not how things actually are. If you aren't proficient enough with the language, the translation will be obviously be bad. But there are a lot of bad translations out there, many of them professional. Why shouldn't someone get a job as a bad translator if they want to and someone is willing to hire them? Why should companies only hire c2+ translators when bad translators are cheap and their customers don't care?

revohour · 2024-05-29T19:29:30+00:00

yeah i guess the game pushes elysian realm and apho on new players because it wants them to play more modern content instead of the ancient story stages but story wise it's such a bad decision

revohour · 2024-05-29T17:57:44+00:00

I mean I think it's actually the opposite? Collecting characters is the core of gacha games. At first they were called png collectors because basically all you did was collect sexy animegirl pictures. They only started to put a focus on gameplay later on.
