I'm from the US and I don't order hot tea in a place that might do this. I wouldn't trust them to make it, either, though. My reason is that the water they'd bring just isn't going to be hot enough to steep with.

I love black tea steeped in water that started close to boiling when the tea was added and poured (or teabags removed) before the bitter tannins get too strong. Even cheap black tea can be decent if it's brewed well.

If they bring me a pot of water, it probably came from the hot water thing on their coffee maker and it already started not hot enough even before they put it in a non-insulated metal pot. If it were hot enough, I'd actually prefer to put the bag in myself so I know when to take it out.

On average, folks in my country have never even had hot tea brewed well, and I think that bad tea is worse than bad coffee.

If I'm in, say, an Asian place, I'd be more likely to order tea since I reckon the staff are more likely to know how good it can be and how to make it.

We were definitely doing it on forums/newsgroups/listservs and in chat at least as far back as the early 90s. Using full keyboards.

Beau of the fifth column does 3-10 minute videos doing political analysis in what looks like a garage.

He said on a longer FAQ video that he's set things up to hide his channel's income from himself. He draws a salary that's enough to take care of his family, but he doesn't know how much more the channel earns -- he doesn't want his content to be influenced even unconsciously by which videos The Algorithm say paid better.

You can use keepass in multiple ways where the password never touches the clipboard. I usually use it with a Firefox extension that fills in the fields. You can also have it swap back to your last window and autotype (not sure exactly what the mechanism is).

If you do copy, it clears it from the clipboard history ~10s after copying. I'm pretty sure that's configurable.

Both fit under the definition of genocide.

I did also, because my feed is mostly coding stuff and I actually use lisp.

Finland? It is.

What in that article do you think contradicts what they said?

Yeah... I may have to do the same. I had plans this weekend that this slowed down. Thanks for your help. I hadn't seen the other thread or the mastodon post.

I started by checking emacs --version and confirming that it reported 29.1. The file at which emacs (/usr/bin/emacs) is not a symlink, it's a bash script that was ultimately running emacs-gtk, which is a binary in the same directory.

If I run emacs-gtk directly, things appear to work, but I get this warning:

(emacs-gtk:15168): dbind-WARNING **: 11:28:59.261: AT-SPI: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

This appears to be related to screen reader support. My repos do have packages for at-spi, but I don't reckon that hiding a warning I might see once per reboot is a strong enough reason to install it.

If I run emacs-x11 directly, things seem to work, though if I turn on menu-bar-mode or check the menu with F10 it looks awful.

If I set and export EMACS_TOOLKIT to x11 and run the bash script, it seems to take longer to load and spams hundreds of lines in the shell as it announces that it's loading things. I'm not that bothered by long loading times as I'm seldom restarting, but I don't know why it's so spammy when I start it through the script.

I'd like to better understand what's going on. For now, I think I have a working setup again if I just skip the script and run emacs-gtk directly, but I'm sure there's something wrong with my setup, and I hate not knowing things. I'll include the bash script in a reply to myself here.

Thanks, I'll try and look for that when I get the chance. I got called away from the computer right after making my post
