The Beats Whoopie Pill functions both as an bluetooth microphone input and speaker output device, with an ultra-low-frequency-high-power woofer. But it's a real pain in the ass to install and uninstall. Fortunately, Kyle Machulis has written an Emacs mode that supports it.

>One thing hasn’t changed though - I still love Emacs and I’m quite passionate about it.

As passionate in your love for Emacs as Kyle Machulis is? ;)

Honestly the video is the most interesting part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1sXuHnf_lo&ab_channel=PoorL...

I can't quite figure out if it's performance art or enthusiasm. Probably a bit of both.

That's government-mandated.

Do you have any sources that's gov mandated? I couldn't find anything

>In line with upcoming regulations, like the European Union’s Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD), we will also be introducing a new age verification step over the next few months. As part of this process some European users may be asked to provide additional proof of age when attempting to watch mature content.

Is there a mirror / transcript for those that don’t have a YouTube account?

Since you said "performance art" I'm going to go ahead and agree with you and not use the term "shitpost".

Someday I'll update the library to work with https://buttplug.io. :)

That video is a trip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1sXuHnf_lo&ab_channel=PoorL...

"deldo-eugenics-mode and the end of the editor wars" sounds like a Harry Potter sequel that no one asked for.

I do plan on supporting Buttplug in deldo at some point. :D

Emacs elisp hooks for controlling your sex toys? Yep. The examples are priceless. For instance tying completion of Org-Mode tasks to various vibration settings to "provide reward for task completion or motivation to get it done."
I think this video https://youtu.be/D1sXuHnf_lo

Explains what languages correspond to which fetishes better.

You can see the author is very subtle and only say it at 0:55 while discussing some languages.

And plus it is Emacs!

Edit: NSFW

DonHopkins
It's worth pausing the video to read his whole critique of each language's culture, which is spot-on, but flies by really quick.

Kyle Machulis sure loves Emacs. He wrote "Deldo - The Sex Toy and Teledildonics Mode for Emacs":

It's well worth freeze framing and reading the text in the list of all the different programming languages that Emacs supports.

Hah, thanks! :D
Reminds me of this emacs plugin, deldo:

Um. It counts. There are elisp packages specifically for this after all. Other humans can even participate via the networked paired programming packages.

Can your editor do this? HMMM?

If THAT makes you uncomfortable, then obviously you haven't seen THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1sXuHnf_lo

It's the ASCII art social commentary about the cultures surrounding various popular programming languages that I hope people will find the most offensive about that video. Well worth pausing and zooming in when he mentions your pet programming language.

I cackled! Thank you for pointing that out.

Alas, I must confess that I have written Visual Basic (VBscript) code in Emacs.

A while back I was screwing around with a project which attempted to generate, via the Windows speech synthesis API, output vaguely resembling SHODAN from the System Shock games (example: [1]). The most I can say for it is that I didn't entirely fail; despite having access to a quite good female voice (NeoSpeech "Kate"), and despite SAPI 5 offering what I found a surprising degree of flexibility, there's only so much you can do with it; I got closer than I expected, but not close enough to think it worth releasing. [a]

In any case, VBScript is the handiest way I could find to screw around with SAPI, and it turns out there is a Visual Basic mode for Emacs [2]; I found it to be remarkably not bad. Nothing could make working with Visual Basic other than painful, but Emacs comes as close as anything else I've ever used.

[2] http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/visual-basic-mode.el

[a] I've just unearthed it, and it hasn't yet succumbed to bit rot; maybe I'll throw it up on my Github account just for the hell of it.
