I’m not 100% sure what you’re referring to, but having #' before a function is is to tell the reader/compiler that you’re specifically referring to the function of the name that comes after it. You could just do ' and that works in Emacs Lisp, but it’s more technically correct in this case to do #' as org-deadline is a function.

If that’s not what you’re referring to, I apologize.

Interesting. Do you enable the auth-source backend for pass as well?

Funnily enough, it seems Nicholas Petton (creator of the pass.el library) contributed to this. :)

2060 - The True and Definitive Year of the Linux Desktop (maybe, probably not but hopefully)

Yes, should’ve mentioned that in my post.

I don’t know about your second question, but with almost every proton-ge update I’ve gone into Steam and switched over to the new version with no issues so far.

Maybe that’s a no-no for some games but, again, no issues so far.

EDIT: Same goes for wine-ge whenever I have games I bought through GOG and play through Lutris.

I only sample the finest 10/10 works of art

No? I’ll admit that something like Enderal: Forgetten Stories, while very fun and better than Skyrim in a lot of ways, is still like an 8/10 even though I like it a lot. If we’re going on the game alone and not how great and generous the developers are to the community, Deep Rock Galactic is a 9/10.

have no time for lowly 7/10 slop that the peasents enjoy.

7/10 for Starfield is incredibly generous. It’s a 5/10 if we’re all being honest and not circlejerking about Bethesda.

If only they’d accept that I know better what they should be allowed to enjoy

You can like and play whatever you want.

But if you share the opinion that overall quality of games, especially triple A titles, has gone down in the past 10-15 years, and you can sit here and give Starfield: Yet Another Wide as an Ocean but Deep as a Puddle + Boring Experience from Bethesda ™️ is a 7/10; I don’t think you really have the right to complain about the declining quality of video games when you’re essentially contributing to it by claiming incredibly mediocre games are above average.

If you feel good that you paid $70-100 for what’s really feels like a $40 barely out of early-access game, hey, I can’t change your mind.

Todd Howard has even said his favorite mods for Skyrim were UI ones, lol.

Plenty of people have enjoyed this game and found things to like even if it’s not perfect.

“People enjoy the slop so the slop must not be that bad.”

but you can’t dictate to other people that they also shouldn’t enjoy it.

Yes but we can absolutely point out they’re enjoying slop and are probably the biggest contribution to mainstream games becoming more and more soulless slop.

It’s a nepenthes Diana.

Ah yes! That’s a great little hybrid. This plant, no?

It was winter and I assumed it would drop all it’s pitchers and go dormant. However its leaves are also a bit brown.

In cooler times in nature they don’t go dormant, they just make less pitchers.

Here’s my suggestions

• Let the medium get almost dry between waterings

When it does, fill up the tray and let the water be absorbed or evaporated.

• Move it to an east facing window, or outside during spring

Maybe it needs more light. New Zealand has a fairly tropical climate IIRC so outdoors in the spring might be a great idea. Here’s an interesting read about light.

• If you tap water has a PPM above 50, repot

I don’t think you’ll have to do this as looking at your governments legislation the water is a lot better than some parts of America.

Here’s another guide to repotting from a reputable grower. They even have suggestions of when to repot.

Other than that Nepenthes ‘Diana’ is a pretty vigorous and hardy hybrid.

If your plant looks similar to this or this then yea then that’s an entirely different plant genus than nepenthes and it’ll do fine wetter conditions. I would still like the water in the tray get soaked up before filling it again, just make sure the medium doesn’t get dry.

Are you growing this indoors or outdoors?

Also, if it’s winter then keep in mind sarracenia are perennial, meaning they go dormant starting in the mid-late fall and all through winter.

What do you think we should actually do about those problems? Ask nicer? Vote harder?

I think your rent should be due a week early this month.

Bog plants are more like Sarracenia (American pitcher plants), some Drosera (sundews) and Dionaea muscipula (venus fly traps). They’re plants that like more wet soils and don’t want it to dry out, and, obviously, their native habitats are bogs.

Nepenthes, or tropical pitcher plants, are tropical plants. Some species grow on the sides of cliff faces or more in the mountains of tropical areas. They like wet air more than wet soil.

No they don’t prefer sitting in water. From the RedLeaf Exotics site:

Nepenthes like being kept moist, not wet. Think of a moist sponge. They appreciate a well draining potting mix and dislike standing in water constantly. They should never be allowed to completely dry out. You can keep them in saucers of water indoors, but they must be allowed to evaporate in between waterings.

And from Carnivero:

Nepenthes like to remain moist but not flooded. This is best accomplished by top watering them 2-3 times per week. The shallow tray method can be used when going out of town. Fill the tray with about 1” of water and then allow the tray to dry out for a couple days before refilling.

Just to give you info from some professional and reputable nepenthes growers!

because these topics are de facto censored on most of the internet

Complaining about capitalism, landlords and US Politics are censored on most of the internet? Have you been to Reddit or Twitter?

Also aren’t a bunch of other websites specifically dedicated for discussing specific topics? I.e. modding video games, agriculture/horticulture, etc?

Are there like a bunch of bloggers complaining about living in the West that are being censored, or are they just not popular because they’re terrible writers and have 0 reach?

Also no one talks about Linux besides weird and niche communities. It’s not censored either. I say this as a Linux user.

It sits in water so it’s always wet.

I use tap water but it’s from a well so It might be a bit overly mineral. I can try and deionize it.

Ah well I’d start with the first thing. Nepenthes aren’t bog plants, they don’t like sitting in water. They like they’re medium moist. So I’d dump the water out of the tray it’s in and only pour water in the try when the medium starts feeling like it’s about to dry out.

There’s a few things you might want to double check if your nepenthes is not looking peppy:

• How often are you watering?

Too much and it won’t like that, too little and it won’t like that either. Water when the medium starts to feel a little dry, like right before a sponge is dry.

Also double check the PPM of your water. Nepenthes can tolerate some salts, but above 50 PPM is generally not recommended.

• Did you repot it recently?

Nepenthes especially don’t like their roots being disturbed. I have a plant that I repotted waaay more than I should’ve that’s still recovering a month or a little more later. Give it a month or two if you’ve reported it, and try giving it extra humidity as that helps the plant settle in when repotting.

• How much light is it getting?

An east facing window is usually what’s recommended for nepenthes. Morning light followed by “dappled” light (like slightly shaded) is what most nepenthes like.

True! I should probably do that before delving too deep to where I start losing my sanity.

EDIT: And ay, voila! It works! Played a little bit and so far I’m not too impressed by performance nor the game itself, but at least it works now.

I’m on Gentoo and I built a new version of Mesa just yesterday.

I’m not running the game in Steam, I’m trying to run it from Lutris with wine-ge, as I did not get the game via Steam.

Hate to jump in 4-5 days after you posting, but what are your Steam launch options?

I see on ProtonDB a lot of people are having to fidget with some Vulkan settings, and I myself can’t even get the game to launch as I get the “Graphics card does not meet minimum requirement” message when I have a RX 6700XT. Granted I’m not running the game through Steam and I’m trying to play via Lutris with wine-ge. If you’re wondering how I’m “not running the game through Steam”, let’s just say the waves were rough last night and creating a lot of torrents.

One thing I tried was editing the current build of Windows to be 11 and not 10, but that doesn’t seem to work. Looking at the ProtonDB page, there’s these following environment variables people here can try adding to their launch options (though don’t add all of them):

ENABLE_VKBASALT=1
AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NAVPI=1 # note the user who supplied this said they had to downgrade their NVIDIA drivers to 525.x
VKD3D_CONFIG=force_compute_root_parameters_push_ubo # the user who supplied this said nothing worked for them
DISABLE_LAYER_AMD_SWITCHABLE_GRAPHICS_1=1  VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.i686.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json # if you have an AMD GPU
DXVK_CONFIG_PATH=/home/niko/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Starfield/dxvk.conf

EDIT: It seems like the following options get rid of the “minimum requirements” message, however now I get “your graphics drivers are out of date.”

# Launch options if you're running the game in Steam
DXVK_ASYNC=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=1 AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json gamemoderun %command% --skip-launcher

This is with wine-ge-proton8-14, don’t know if GE-Proton8-14 would make a difference.

Have you required like package at all with (require 'codieum)? It makes be in your load-path, but that doesn’t mean Emacs will automatically use it.
