It always frustrates me when someone writes #Emacs as eMacs or EMACS.

    Eh, pls #boost my request to #getfedihired, if you could spare two clicks? 🥺 I've been humming and hawing about posting this, it feels strange, something about generational guilt & working class shame & ... but it's either this or start putting my CV through LLMs to include every buzzword on the listing I'm applying to. I haven't been able to stomach that, even though I presume that's a lot of my competition.I simply can't get to an interview. Historically, I've done three interviews and got the job each time, because I'm a real human being who is friendly and chatty and presents himself sincerely (or, that's my guess, anyway).#Christmas miracles appreciated!In #Ireland with my partner, but we've lived in different places and would move happily. I've a year experience doing an IT support role the last year, but have transitioned to this stuff later than usual. Before I've done: bartender; bicycle courier for Deliveroo in #Berlin for two years (best job ever); private tutor for five years in #Lyon (mostly piano but also maths, Irish, English, flute, tin whistle); bookies clerk for a short period; a few other odd bits - one highlight was writing reviews for a theatre company.Oh, very comfortably fluent in #French, pretty fluent in #Irish (my first love), and intermediate #German (which I would love to have a chance to go back speaking and learning).Tech-wise, it's been mostly on the #Linux / #Emacs / #Lisp side of things. I would happily work on anything that is one or more of challenging, interesting, useful, or moral.Money doesn't rule me. I want to live with a humane level of comfort, that's all.CVs and references available, DMs open. Thanks so much for any and all help!

    #TIL that in #less, if you enable case-insensitive searching, it only searches insensitively if your search string is all lower case. As soon as you include a capital letter in the search string, it goes back to searching case-sensitively regardless.Weird how it's easy to miss things like that. I knew that happened in #emacs, but somehow, in 20 years I'd never noticed it in less.I presume the rationale (in both tools) is that if you went to the extra effort of typing the capital letter, you meant it. I found out that less did this by _pasting_ a search string into it, which invalidates that assumption – it would have been _more_ effort for me to deliberately downcase the string I pasted.So I guess I must have never done that before, or else, wasn't paying attention when I did!
