Wow, I finally have a functional grammar check in #emacs that seems like what I've been looking for.

What is the correct action when #Emacs asks “Discard edits and reread from “path”?
It always makes me feel I'm losing data.

“I get that Tsoding and Valigo are probably writing tongue in cheek but really, if Emacs is so useful you can’t live without it, why are you complaining? You can, after all, change anything you don’t like.”
Or add anything you’re missing, for that matter. If you know #Emacs, why try anything else?

Noticed only today, since moving my #Emacs environment over to the new laptop last November, all my #OrgRoam 'dailies' are not orgroam files, they are basic #OrgMode files 🥹 C-c n d d does resolve to the right org-roam command, but these files contain only a # title and nothing else.
It was likely naive of me to expect my .emacs to be relocatable.
I don't suppose there's a function to mass-convert org-files to org-roam? Well, that's what keystroke macros are for, I suppose!
On a positive note, my #Firefox kiosk issue was solved by MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 which is odd since I'm running Wayland and it had worked fine since September until I added and then removed /etc/firefox/policies/policy.json

You are a vim/neovim user. You have a few plugins installed.
How do you remind yourself of those that you are not using on a regular basis?
I guess the question applies to any text editor or IDE.

Looking at #Emacs tutorials to possibly recommend to students, I’m sometimes amazed at the mentions of basic commands that I’ve never had a use for in 30 years of emacsing… Not that I don’t know them, but, well, I don’t need them.
Case in point: next-buffer and previous-buffer. For me, buffers don’t have an order, so they don’t make any sense to me.

So I had this idea, if I could make the #Emacs #OrgRoamUI accessible on the LAN, I could potentially navigate my notes from any device anywhere!
It was listed in the GitHub as a request, but the advice there didn't work, it only acted as a redirect to nowhere. I could change the url from localhost to the lan name, opened 8080 in ufw and then port-forwarded with
sudo socat TCP-LISTEN:8080,fork TCP:localhost:35901
And that let me see the UI, but only the controls, no nodes, no notes. Noting the websocket claiming port 35903, I removed :host (to use all interfaces) and opened ufw for LAN access to that port which all /seemed/ really logical, but …
I still see only the controls, no nodes or notes 😞
