“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?

#Irreal: Never try #Emacs 😲
https://irreal.org/blog/?p=13507

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…

I've been experimenting with #eca on #emacs and managed to make a start on one of my TODO's which was make a useful #gnus

Restricting the total results makes sense to not burn tokens but we should output something to let the tool know it could have narrowed the search down.

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

it is always something. On the heels of DNS disaster, #Emacs takes over. I just wanted to open a new #orgroam notes template, I do C-c n i and give it a name, then select n)otes and …

Everyday #Emacs #orgmode task: merge two tables
I'm grading, and want to merge the class list with the list of assignment submissions. Include the two lists as named tables, and a tiny R-snippet will produce a merged table (also named).

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

I had a play with #vibe coding today to get an idea of its limitations. Obviously as I'm an inveterate #emacs user I needed something integrated to my editor so I thought I would try out #eca which comes wit…

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.

Gosh, whitespace-mode makes dealing with YAML slightly less awful! #emacs

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
