I'd love to start using WebCite for blog posts to avoid link rot pain, but they're on the verge of shutting down: http://t.co/INBIWgDgij

I've written a website that archives all my posts/tweets/toots/skeets across different microblogging platforms! It's fun to be able to see similar posts that I wrote at completely different times. It also lets me edit links that have bitrotted.

On the challenge of writing accurate source spans on Unicode source code: https://reedmullanix.com/posts/unicode-source-spans.html Also (see footnotes) a fair number of LSP clients assume UTF-8 despite early versions of LSP mandating UTF-16!

Today I learnt that Emacs 28 shipped a context-menu-mode! https://oylenshpeegul.gitlab.io/blog/posts/20230129/ This seems quintessentially Emacs: deeply hackable, but building UI features in an order very different to the mainstream.
Context menus in Emacs 28!
Today I learned that Emacs 28 added context-menu-mode so that we can easily add context menus. This is a minor mode which you can toggle with M-x context-menu-mode RET but I added hooks to enable it for text mode and a couple others (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'context-menu-mode) (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'context-menu-mode) (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'context-menu-mode) I did not hook prog mode because some of the fancier lsp things already use mouse-3.
