Google Gemini now has extensions that can for example use the content of your Gmail inbox, very practical but also very scary from a security/privacy perspective.

@ErikJonker Als ik daar iets van ga merken, zet ik het meteen uit als het kan. Ben gelukkig al een heel eind ontGoogled.

@ErikJonker Daarom haal ik zoveel mogelijk spul naar mijn eigen cloud en persoonlijke mailserver terug. Het wordt echt te gek, vind ik.

@ErikJonker Ben ik beslist met je eens, en het is hoog tijd dat ze daar eens wat vaart achter gaan zetten.
Ik heb zeker de mazzel dat ik dit zelf kan, zodat ik niet op hen hoef te wachten.

Thank you both. I actually got it to work in Python!

I'm working on removing an important spreadsheet from Google Docs, and maintain that in LibreOffice.
Thing: In G Docs I wrote a few macros to sort the file in various ways, using 4 and 5 fields.
Libre Calc only allows 3 sort fields, and the G-Doc macros don't work in Libre Calc.

I've written a program to convert a CSV to a file with fixed length, and writing a program to do the sorting for me.

Sorting multiple columns in Python is a PITA. In COBOL it's laughably simple.

I wish something like the IBM S/34 would exist for Linux. That would make this even simpler.

@paul@fedi.nlpagan.net avatar

@wtm I've only looked at the options for Python.

In COBOL it's simply
SORT LIB-WORK
ON ASCENDING KEY S_GENRE, S_SORTNAAM, S_VN, S_TITEL
USING LIB-IN
GIVING LIB-OUT1.

SORT LIB-WORK
ON ASCENDING KEY S_SORTNAAM, S_VN, S_TITEL
USING LIB-IN
GIVING LIB-OUT2.

@wtm I want to sort a 23 column list/array in 2 different ways.

paul,
@paul@fedi.nlpagan.net avatar

@tshirtman I load the CSV simply using readlines(). I found that sorted-option, but the loaded CSV misses those 'key' thingies. (I'm still puzzled about that, I'm an old-fashioned programmer, as COBOL may indicate ;-)

"I know you love playing with your computer," she said, leaning on his shoulder, "but I need to tell you the house is on fire."

"Okay…" Pat typed a few more words, then looked at her, shock on his face. "You said what?"

"Good, now I have your attention, I can tell you I'm off for a job interview," Jody said, hugging him.

Art depicts life. There is #nudity in art. Therefore shouldn't there be nudity in life too?

The members of the Guild of Assassins considered themselves cultured men who enjoyed good music and food and literature. And they knew the value of human life. To a penny, in many cases.

@Jaden3 He is right, and we know it. Thinking about what may happen eats up your energy, and afterwards is no use as it happened.
This is how I live too.
High-five to your gramps.

14May- What role do other writers have in your writing life?

They shaped me and my writing. My inspirations and shining examples are Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. Also Ray Bradbury made a huge impact on me with his book "Zen in the Art of Writing". I love that one.

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:
