@nprofile…0pqp Oh, those... ok. Didn't connect earlier. Story:
My partner recently ordered a chair that was on sale (not on Amazon but something similar, I forget, I think wallmart) and got nothing but the shipping slip in the mail. No chair, not even a a piece of wood.
The most annoying part was that he waited for weeks because the chair delivery was "stalled" by customs because terrifs or what not. He got nothing but a piece of paper.
The money was refunded, thankfully.

@nprofile…0pqp is there an example you can share? particularly if it's something she likes (and why if possible)?
Did the AI create something for her that she wants or needs and she can't get by other means?

Seems like some of the pages on my blog are now working as they should. There’s supposed to be an introduction for the Archive page and the Emacs page. I’m using Tiny Theme, and the HTML for those micro-hooks is in place, which makes me think something went wrong with the update I did about a month ago.
I guess rebuilding the blog is the next step - which usually breaks the movies page… stand by….

Yesterday morning, I imported an old-blog post of mine, which discusses org-id and UUIDs in org-mode. It’s a bit of a deep dive into how org-mode works. I find that I don’t do those as much anymore - probably because I mostly use Emacs “as is” with a few packages I use day to day, and my workflow has been pretty much the same (capture templates not included) for the last two years or so. https://taonaw.com/2022/03/15/org-id-org-attach-better.html

Second, I have a story how I joined a yoga place, realized it was some sort of a cult, and ran away. Yoga and meditation attract cultists like magnet. I guess it's part of its nature, unfortunately, and there are many who approach yoga and already have issues (which is why they want to try it) so it's a circle like that. At least that's my opinion 🤔

Did you know: You can insert images you included with org-attach by using org-insert-link; they’re there already by default. You just need to delete the suggested description to have them display inside your org buffer. I didn’t know that.

Ah ok. KeePassXC doesn’t work with Waterfox or Zen Browser because these two come as Flatpak on Linux, and these are restricted in a way that prevents connection to KeePassXC. I do have FlatSeal… does anyone have any idea what permissions are needed?

I think I’m going back to clocking in and out of sub-tasks, even though I said I wouldn’t. It’s easier not to, but the end result, I think, is messier, and I can’t get the clock reports right… on the other hand, it’s kind of an overkill. 🤔 https://taonaw.com/2025/11/14/handling-project-in-emacs-the.html

Finished watching: Better Call Saul S6E3, Rock and Hard Place 📺 Ouch. This one hurt. I liked this guy.
Well… a bit more and I’m done with this show. Good stuff. https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/60059/season/6/episode/3

I couldn’t finish Primitive War 🎥. The story is just too… cliche? Hard to believe? Don’t know. Wasn’t my thing. https://letterboxd.com/film/primitive-war/

Is it just me, or is Apple Workouts acting up? Since the update, it ends walks without prompting while I’m still walking home. During weight training, it aggressively asks if I want to finish after pausing of over a minute I think. I’m multitasking dude, chill!

Sometimes a short nap is all I need. A bit of a snooze and the battery is full after a short night sleep. And in this cold weather… Even more inviting.

Went a bit overboard with spending on gifts. I bought things for myself (the biggest one was the keyboard, without a doubt), but also for my partners and friends. There are also two birthdays around this time, and the look on one of my partners' faces when they saw what I’d gotten them was worth every penny, if you ask me.
All these people adding color to my life, which would otherwise be a constant grumpy gray and dark to navy ... https://taonaw.com/2025/12/10/went-a-bit-overboard-with.html

Manton mentions he likes to work from coffee shops. He doesn’t care about the coffee’s quality that much.
In my case, some places in the city are better than my homemade espresso, and others are worse. Those who fail this test don’t get a second visit from me. It’s about a 50/50 chance. https://www.manton.org/2025/12/08/i-like-this-blog-post.html

Today I figured out how to play the very first part of Fur Elise without writing down the notes. It takes me forever, but I think something gets through my thick skull.

18 In New York City today, and this office is so hot (it’s an old building with steam heat), I had to turn on an AC, because it was going over 80 in here, and I’m layered like an onion… 😒

I got a musical keyboard. Because I need yet a new hobby.: https://taonaw.com/2025/12/07/i-got-a-musical-keyboard.html
After an alcohol-influenced conversation with my brother-in-law, I “impulsively” decided to pursue learning electronic music and buying a keyboard.

Tried HoptoDesk from Linux to my Mac. It works… until I close the lid to my Mac. With the new large desk I just got, I’m thinking maybe it’s not just so bad to slide over to the Mac and work on it as needed…

Here’s a visual of why I love KDE Activities.

And meanwhile, on my work instance, while listening to it:
Love it!

@nprofile…a555 Hmm very possible I installed it on the mac this way before I got your package, yes...
But, why wouldn't dwim just have it? Out of curiosity. Shouldn't it have the command listed, but then it won't work since I don't have the external (out of Emacs) tool installed?

@nprofile…a555 ok I will follow up in email.
It gets weirder.
Your Exif tool is not available on my Linux Emacs, but it is there on the Mac. I think I installed both of them through package-list-package on Emacs.
