Elves are of a culture that's long familiar with magic yet respects magic and its ways.

Weird order of switch-to-buffer with packages that augment completing-read?

I'm using vertico, consult, consult embark, and orderless and it's OK but for switch-to-buffer specifically it kind of bugs me that the order isn't connected to the last-used-order (the order that list-all-buffers uses). I'm like "I just used that buffer three seconds ago and now I need to search for it?!"

Help please? 🙏🏻 ♥ @emacs@lemmy.ml

The wrong thing was that "It doesn't matter what the US does" when the US is exceptionally culpable on the demand side, the drill side, and the policy side.

And looking at per capita, consumtion based, the US is ten times as bad as China. US: 20 tons per person. China: 2 tons. I think the world average is 4t.

China still needs to cut down because 2 tons is a lot more than what is OK but holy shit saying

But the problem is, even if all of the US came together and stopped 100% of our emissions, China would still continue to pump out 90% of the world emissions

is the wrongest thing I've ever heard. There are very few countries on this planet who arr doing worse than the US:

Oh, that is wonderful!

Yeah, I've been reading Nick Bentley, he's like been wary of even simple abstracts, let alone a full euro. I'm still gonna cut down overall (not buying new hardware is better than buying harm-reduced hardware) but I'm glad they're trying to harm-reduce! 👍🏻
Makes me more interested in the game.

I guess I see pandemics as still an unsolved and dangerous issue, although of course not as bad and important as climate change is, so I still have a hard time seeing the difference.

I didn't mean to rain on your parade and I hope you end up enjoying the game.👍🏻

For me, buying new board games is something that's riddled with climate guilt. It's one of my own biggest footprint leaks. And this theme, I feel, would remind me everytime I'm playing the game about that. Which I guess is a good thing.

I already have nine co-op games so I'm set for a while*. If peeps in my part of the world need to fill up seats for Daybreak I'd be willing to give it a spin on someone else's copy. 🫡
Leacock has made some great games.

*: Actually I kind of needed this thread because I've been eyeing Unfathomable today but I guess I don't need a tenth coop game right now. This is the irony of Daybreak's theme—it's meant to inspire the fight against climate change and as such it reminds me to not buy games much more than a plastic pile like Unfathomable can.

Climate change has the same "going through it in real life" trait as Pandemic has.

That's rich when the Google Play store is full of malware while F-Droid is full of gems.

best: play games with them

Yes! I was just about to say the same thing.

It's something most boardgamers really want, it's something that they can't buy, and it's lower impact on the planet than buying a bunch of plastic and cardboard.

 

Why does replace-regexp backwards work so differently?

C-u - M-x replace-regexp \w+

The - prefix arg replaces backwards but it hits one char at a time, as if the plus sign weren't there. The same replacement forwards (without the prefix arg) does hit one word at a time. What's going on, @emacs@lemmy.ml?

 

Thinking of packing light and only bringing a Dalmuti deck!
