Once upon a time … when computer magazines had advertisement for Emacs.

But my code doesn’t even compare. el-xmp reads and parses the XMP data in Elisp (!), I just used exiftool.el #Emacs

Still working the kinks out of transporting my computing home to a new laptop, and this one popped up today attempting to generate and view #Emacs #org as HTML. I recognize the words as english, but can anyone parse the meaning?
org-open-file: Please see Org News for version 9.0 about ‘org-file-apps’--Error: Deprecated usage of (browse-url file)
needless to say, search engines were no help in finding Org News, for any version.
“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?
Gosh, whitespace-mode makes dealing with YAML slightly less awful! #emacs

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

#Emacs: Has anybody a clue why I can't find 🕵️♂️ (male-detective; man-detective as of https://www.emojiace.com/man-detective ) via "C-x 8 RET"?
I was puzzled not to be able to play around wit…
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
