Is ellama the recommended package to use for code assistance on emacs? @emacs

I'm getting some useful results when asking questions to Mistral (via Brave Browser) when working with programming languages that I am learning. What is the current recommended approach to get it working with #emacs?

So many cool posts about #emacs recently but I am not sure the microblog UI is the best for them. Ideally, I wish we could group AP actors to announce any activity by a certain hashtag, so they could become posts in something like #lemmy instead.

In the meantime, how do I get more of this emacs conversation on @emacs ?

Its been a few weeks, but I didn't see any post about it here. In case you aren't following the emacs-devel list, Eli Zaretskii, the current MS-Windows maintainer, is asking for anyone to take over day to day issue management and supporting the port as he's wanting to step down from the role.

Hi there,

I've been chugging through trying to do my bit for the project by creating subreddits and providing alternatives for them. However the subreddit process seems to be a little buggy (unless I've done something wrong, which honestly isn't unlikely).

As an example, I want to suggest !sydney@aussie.zone as the Lemmy alternative to r/Sydney on Reddit. All was mostly fine, I added the Lemmy community to Fediverser, categorised it as local groups, then went over to the subreddits page, tried to create Sydney. It didn't let me, as "Reddit community with this Name already exists."

I figured someone else must've done it, but it hasn't been linked to !Sydney@aussie.zone, so I went to https://fediverser.network/subreddits/Sydney, and just got a 500.

I'm not sure if that's the intended way to access subreddits or not, but it's how I was able to create and suggest alternatives to a few other subreddits. I'm not sure whether it's intentional or not, but the subreddits page is completely empty, so there doesn't seem to be a way to search for subreddits, or to see if one already exists, except by trying to create it and seeing if it errors or not.

I'm also having the same issue with r/AustralianPolitics as well, and I briefly had the same issue with another subreddit (though I can't remember which one). That one resolved itself after 15 minutes or so, auspol and sydney have been broken for around 24 hours or so

This week a new version of the Fediverser project was released and is now ready to get more users helping to reach out to people on Reddit who are willing to migrate to the Fediverse.

This new release allows users to send DMs to select reddit users via DM with an invite code. Users on reddit will get a message from the "Community Ambassador" and will be able to accept or decline the invite.

A lot of work has also been done to let new users to find a new instance directly. Users can simply say what are their interests and their primary location, and the system takes that into consideration when choosing an instance.

The default option will redirect them to any random instance that is running the fediverser software (currently only alien.top), so if there are any other admins that would be interested in joining, please let me know.

Take a look at the python code above. Because the word filter is a builtin function it gets highlighted differently than the rest of the code. The problem is, none of the occurrences of the word here relate to the builtin function and it semantically should not be any different from any other decorator or callable.

I honestly think that this is a bug with the syntax highlighter (as it should be easy to discern between a built-in function call and a method from another class, but if I could just disable syntax highlighting in python-mode for the specific keyword, it should be fine? Is that possible to do in elisp?

If you've seen my videos about Japan, you may have wondered why it looks the way it does. Today I'm going to explain it through zoning.

Special Thanks to Lisa for her guidance on the topic.
