hello #Emacs #Python friends, if I install this do you think it will make kill/yank code movements in python buffers at different levels of indentation more or less annoying https://github.com/jimeh/yank-indent

I will be streaming on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/glyph_official/ in a bit over 18 hours; i.e. at 10AM US/Pacific. Writing some more #Python code, talking about #Emacs, and doing some #macOS development. Or maybe other stuff, if folks have questions.

Seeking advice for FreeBSD as a daily driver on an ASUS X580VD

(Intel HD 630 + GTX 1050 Optimus)

Five questions at <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1r9j67j/advice_for_running_freebsd_as_daily_driver_on_an/> (replies there, if you can – thanks).

The writer's use case and goals:

― web dev stack: Java, Node/React, Python, Go

― occasional virtualization and Linuxulator for Linux-only tooling

― prefer GNOME, but open to recommendations if another DE/DM is more reliable here

― Intel as primary + NVIDIA for on-demand/offload use (if possible).

The #HugoAwards nominations opened today. For the third year in a row, I'm proud to be responsible for making the software that you'll use to nominate and vote, which is open source and free software.

It is built on #Python and #Django. I don't take donations for my work, but the foundations behind those libraries (and the others that NomNom depends on) certainly do!

Consider a donation to Django (https://www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/) or the PSF (https://www.python.org/psf/donations/) to support my work!
