Db0 has an extremely active ADHD comm. Try asking there.

You can subscribe, post or comment to the hexbear comms through the magic of federation. You don’t need a separate account. Just like I can do for this lemmygrad comm from hexbear.

I believe if I write the link this way you should be able to click through to see: [email protected] from any instance, but this is this specific link for lemmygrad: https://lemmygrad.ml/c/[email protected]. You can always use the search bar at the top of page (in web browser) to find comms on other instances.

Have you considered a reading group? Online or IRL if it is available. Or just keep posting here or other places. Try to apply your theory to analyze an event or situation. Create homework assignments for yourself.

hexbear.net/c/theory used to have regular reading groups, maybe they will restart if there is interest. Or you can post your thoughts there as threads.

Even if you dont share, writing helps to clarify ideas.

There are all kinds of guides that include self reflection questions, for example https://hexbear.net/post/7689647

Even if you find the best most communist LLM to help you, you’ll have learned to understand things in a robot way. How will you be able to talk to people about it? What is your goal with theory? Personally its my idea that the way you learn is also the way you know.

No offence, but that list is nothing but pathetic honestly. a few dozen projects out of millions? it suggests lack of seriousness, because at the very least they could scrape together a list of those who haven’t been updated since 2024 (or some other arbitrary date) where it was impossible to have been. When I see “last commit 13 years ago” I have some confidence.

This thread… I can’t make heads or tails of it. I don’t think LGPL->MIT, but if you do a “clean” rewrite, isn’t it “technically” OK? Isn’t that what BSD is? GPL Linux re-written? I am not sure what authority an original creator from 10+ years ago should have, because sometimes those people are jackasses. Just because someone started some simple thing doesn’t mean they have moral ownership indefinitely. What if they are a jackass? If it’s the case, then linux and git are both limited to the moral horizons of linus torvalds. That is bleak.

This sounds reasonable because a lot of single (human) dev projects stay at 0.x or 1.x for years/decades as they slowwly plod along.

no tables?

I assume someone who really wanted to fool me probably could, because I’m not very sophisticated. I’m just looking to discern the simple stuff.

thank you I didn’t know about agents.md

I have been looking at the contributors in the right-hand sidebar but I don’t see anything LLM even when I am really sure it is LLM.

it raises my suspicions but I have seen it for many years before vibe coding

my collective house crica 1999 lolololol the dishes har har har

it makes me suspicious when it’s fast, but since before vibecoding, i would come across projects that were uploaded all at once, updated quickly and then often never again.

i always thought it was probably people uploading their school projects or something.

usually for those the commit would be something like “upload files”

ascii art tables? like markdown tables?

i don’t suppose you have an example?

I’m sure I saw an app exactly like this on f droid.

Edit: maybe it was this https://github.com/alxgnon/PostWriter

But you could make it for yourself by spinning up an instance of Lemmy or mastodon or one of the other libre socials.

Yes

Ive never heard it. Literally do not know what genre he does. I assume pro english fiddle reels.

It has happened to me also, that I have my nerdy good way of doing things, but then when forced to work with more common tools, I am stumped. Even when the supposedly less techy people around me have no problem. (Sometimes it is because they don’t known enough to attempt an advanced feature like automatically generating a TOC. They don’t know about how to apply headings, therefor do not encounter the incorrect behavior.)

Suggest that you just need to apply the same skills that enabled you to learn your fancy latex, to use the pedestrian Word. Read the documentation and/or web search. MS generally has good documentation available. And since it’s very popular, there are a million 3rd party resources.

I think this is the solution to your problem: How to turn off automatic creation of bulleted and numbered lists - Microsoft Word 365.

I’ll be honest, at home and for my own purposes, I use LibreOffice. But when using communally-provided non-linux devices, or to facilitate collaboration, I will use mainstream products pragmatically. MS Office tends not to be too bad, not nearly as noxious as Windows. Word kind of grew on me. The UI has some advantages. But I haven’t used it in a while so who knows what AI has done to it.
