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?

Today in starling-el, the ability to set spending categories! Our first non-read operation. It's much nicer doing this in #emacs IMO!

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.

The last time I used MS Word to write a significant document was my PhD thesis. Since I've done everything of consequence in latex. More recently, I've used #emacs' #orgmode to write the latex: much easier for the routine stuff but you can include pure latex as you need. (15 yrs pure latex…

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

I am trying to alternate between using Workflowy and Emacs Org for tasks. The tool chosen randomly on a weekly basis.
(Intention is to understand what features I find absolutely required).

#Emacs lisp to find all occurrences of the form AB4123 (i.e., my university's module codes) in a document:

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!?

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.

Satisfying as actually getting an #emacs keyboard macro for a repetitive task correct.. And then just being able to hammer e repeatedly and see it all unfold.
Well worth it for all the times you mess it up enough that it would have been quicker to do it all manually :D

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 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?
