since the latest update on arch emacs thinks my Alt key is constantly held down
8:23:07
shinmera
making it completely unusable
8:23:53
shinmera
obviously googling yields nothing of use
8:26:11
Colleen
roll back emacs? build it from source? emacs -Q?
8:26:11

8:26:18
shinmera
emacs didn't change
8:26:25
shinmera
so I rebuilt it from latest, which didn't help
8:26:47
shinmera
fwiw no other application has this problem
8:26:54
shinmera
as I said, I updated my system
8:27:08
Colleen
well yes but do you have the log of what was updated
8:27:08
jdek
well yes but do you have the log of what was updated
8:27:23
shinmera
it was a bunch of packages, too, since I hadn't updated in a while
8:27:40
shinmera
I'm just a bit lost on why emacs would be the only thing affected
8:27:46
Colleen
this is why I like nixos :^)
8:27:46
jdek

8:27:51
Colleen
yeah does seem strange
8:27:51
jdek
yeah does seem strange
8:30:54
shinmera
might have to do with fcitx5
8:31:10
shinmera
hmm no nevermind even with that shut down it still does the thing
8:32:04
shinmera
cool, so I guess this computer was made wholly unusable now :)
8:32:53
shinmera
I guess I can use it in -nw mode but ech
8:54:55
shinmera
M-w and C-y don't work
8:55:04
shinmera
why am I getting cursed with this kinda crap
8:58:39
shinmera
okey that seems to be an alacritty issue
9:00:45
shinmera
works fine in xfce4-terminal
9:36:23
Colleen
never update anything
9:36:23
froggey
never update anything
9:37:10
shinmera
I had to update to get the new blender version :(
10:00:50
Colleen
surprised you dont use guix actually
10:00:50
jdek

shinmera
I like to spend as little time as possible giving a shit about my garbage operating system
10:01:23
shinmera
I learned to use arch once over ten years ago
10:01:49
shinmera
I don't want to learn another thing, especially a thing where people actually seem... enthusiastic about it? ugh. gross.
10:02:08
shinmera
computers ought to be hated
10:04:10
Colleen
But yeah idk, annoys me more when stuff randomly breaks. At least with transactional OS you can simply rollback etc
10:04:10
jdek

Or only do partial updates
10:04:18
jdek

10:04:20
shinmera
sure. I don't deny the benefits
10:04:30
shinmera
but also I don't care to have a system where everything's so strictly controlled
10:04:41
shinmera
I'm a sloppy mess myself
10:08:20
shinmera
I should probably do a from-scratch install on this ancient scrapheap anyway
10:08:26
Colleen
Personally… Ordnung muss sein….

Despair D: does seem like a very strange issue to debug

Id check sniff evdev events but honestly seems weird regardless

shinmera
too lazy to give a crap about doing any of that lmao
10:10:27
shinmera
and again, other programs work fine
10:10:44
shinmera
so it's whatever 30 year old pile of kludges emacs got going on that's tripping up
10:11:32
Colleen
Stuff like this i try to challenge my assumptions too
10:11:32

10:13:30
shinmera
refusing to learn from my mistakes is why I'm still doing lisp
13:45:31
shinmera
can't figure out how to coerce the gltf plugin into exporting the fcurve for a custom property
13:45:38
shinmera
somehow the hooks I'd expect to be called aren't
13:45:45
shinmera
and of course the source is a lotta ??? (and also huge)
13:59:51
shinmera
doesn't help that my motivation is still at an absolute trickle
