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.

I recently learned how to work with column view in org mode.
Really useful to see a bunch of data on a glance and not having to separate my notes from the data.
Might help me to finally have some sort of asset tracking for my stuff.

I remember there was a package a few years ago, that allowed for more complex relationships between tasks but I don't remember its name.
E.g. let tasks depend on each other even if they weren't part of the same structure.
Does someone know what I mean?

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?

Is it possible in #Org to hide the configuration options at the top of the buffer?
I couldn’t find anything. On the other hand I don’t even know how to call those lines at the top: front matter? config lines?

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!?

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)
