Hoping some gnome-based #Emacs folks may have guesses: when it launches, I see the usual Emacs text menu at the top of each frame, but /somewhere/ in a long (and messy .emacs) something is 'different' from KDE and I get useless Win/Mac menu-ish things instead. Any guesses where this feature gets turned off?
I find it kinda funny that the 2020 MacBook Air—my work machine (albeit with 16 GB of RAM)—is now described as being “still capable at handling basic tasks like a champ, including streaming video, browsing, and dealing with documents.”
I haven’t noticed #Emacs slowing down, so what do people do that needs so much more computing power!?

Opened up an SVG file in Emacs and it surprised me by presenting the graphic and there was a little message “Type C-c C-c to switch between text and graphic forms.” What I actually wanted to do is change one color in the graphic and was able to iterate and preview without ever leaving Emacs. Smiling.

That's right: when you're using Emacs, its "bloat"-part doesn't affect you in any significant negative way.

It looks like 1) I have missed 30.2 announcement. 2) I can’t find a tagged version for 30.3.
I am using savannah Git and git tag shows emacs-30.2 but not emacs-30.3. (I did first git fetch —all —tags too)

I thought vscodium was safe because it's the "open source" version of vscode and what do I get?

welp, time to dust off the old #emacs config
I’m recently a bit fed up with technology.
This article resonated with me and I think we get things like #emacs if we follow stability.
