I’ve always been a vi partisan, and usually used even simpler text editors of my own construction. Even on the Amiga I usually used ed over MicroEMACS.

But I’ve got a bug up my butt. Maybe 2026 is the year I finally give into the siren call of Emacs. Tie me to the mast, let me hear its sweet Lispy song.

🌖 Emacs 再添新戰力：那些你可能沒發現的內建功能
➤ 挖掘原生功能的寶藏，打造更高效的 Emacs 工作流
✤ https://karthinks.com/software/even-more-batteries-included-with-emacs/
許多 Emacs 使用者容易陷入「需要安裝套件才能達成目標」的誤區。事實上，Emacs 內建了大量強大卻鮮為人知的工具。本文為系列文章的第三篇，作者精選了一系列無需額外安裝、低學習成本且具備高度實用性的原生指令與功能，涵蓋檔案管理、除錯、編輯效率及視窗控制。這些功能雖然「冷門」，但只要掌握其核心用法，便能顯著提升在 Emacs 中的操作體驗。
+ 讀完這篇才發現 `ffap-menu` 原來這麼強大！以前總是在找套件來做同樣的事，Emacs 原生功能的深度真是深不可測。
+ 對於剛入門的人來說，這些確實有點進階了，但對於長期使用者來說，這篇文章簡直是改善工作流的「救命稻草」。特別是 `dictionary-tooltip-mode` 的介紹非常驚喜。

Meta Journal notes in Denote-Journal with Journelly: https://taonaw.com/2026/06/14/meta-journal-notes-in-denotejournal.html

I’ve been wrestling with the privacy trade-offs of journaling on my work-managed iPhone for too long. The solution? Meta denote-journal notes on my Linux desktop. Seems like I write a lot 🤔

@futurile @Synthird nice one! I haven't got a gui working yet, but I suspect that's laptop video card drivers. I have wifi working okay though, so may just need some additional firmware.

On the other hand, unsurprisingly, #emacs was easy to install, so I already have 90% of what I need!

I finished my experiment of porting GPUs to Emacs.

The GPU backend shares a neutral drawing policy across Metal (macOS) and OpenGL (Linux); two drivers, one architecture.

Performance charts (absolute fps, cairo vs GPU):
1616x912 frame: GPU ahead on full redraws (1.19x), at parity on page scrolls
4K frame: GPU pulls ahead on motion (typing 7.4x, image scroll 11.5x)
macOS M1 Pro: vsync on saves 35% CPU during scroll without losing responsiveness.

However, for smaller resolutions the CPU wins.

This version makes sense if you want animations, transitions, or to play GIFs or videos.

I have seen posts saying that Emacs is a virtual Lisp machine and indeed that must have been on Usenet.

I'll be going live on #PeerTube in ~15m to work on #Emacs Reader and integrating it with the Canvas API. It's been a while since I worked on Reader live and in general. So, it'll be fun.

You can also join and talk to me in a call via XMPP/Jabber through

https://dialetheia.xyz

This uses @movim and has Discord-like voice/video call capabilities. @tusharhero would be joining me there.

As usual we'd be on IRC as well at `#phi-mu-lambda` on Libera.

🌖 大眾文化中的 Emacs 身影
➤ 從銀幕到代碼：揭開流行文化中 Emacs 的神祕足跡
✤ https://ianyepan.github.io/posts/emacs-in-pop-culture/
對於 Emacs 用戶而言，在影視作品中發現這款小眾但強大的編輯器身影，總是一件令人興奮的事。本文作者整理了多部曾出現 Emacs 蹤跡的作品，從《社羣網戰》中扎克伯格編寫 Perl 腳本，到《矽谷羣瞎傳》中引發激烈爭論的編輯器之戰。這些不僅是影視彩蛋，更是技術文化流變的縮影。作者透過詳盡的觀察與考據，驗證了這些畫面中出現的 Emacs Lisp 代碼，記錄下 Emacs 如何在流行文化中佔有一席之地。
+ 真沒想到《社羣網戰》裡那幕這麼有名，當年看電影時完全沒注意到原來他在用 Emacs，長知識了！
+ 身為 Emacs 的重度使用者，看到《矽谷羣瞎傳》那段爭論真的是會心一笑。編輯器之戰果然是工程師之間永遠的政治話題。
