Yes, #Emacs. You can render SVG. Very clever. But I actually want to *edit the text* of the file (you know, in a text editor. Like... oh, $DEITY, never mind).
Yes, Emacs, you almost certainly do have some weird key combination to switch back to ACTUALLY BEING A TEXT EDITOR, but I don't know it, and, being Emacs, you're too damned arrogant to make it discoverable.
Typing `<esc&…
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.
Of course, different people have d…

Every time that "json" is mentioned in one sentence with a Lisp (machine), a fairy dies.
Sorry for killing two fairies here, please try not to boost! 💕

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

A rare example of somebody switching from #Emacs to #vim:
"I have officially retired from Emacs"

RE: #GLT26 zu
What is the correct action when #Emacs asks “Discard edits and reread from “path”?
It always makes me feel I'm losing data.
I still need to update the readme, and I’ve already discovered a bug… But my first #Emacs package is now available from #MELPA!

#Monsterdon #Emacs hex-mode!
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 😞
