Post today on r/AskReddit: "Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today?"

I'll go to blowing all my dopamine on these videos today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dWWi3xfmug&list=PLomc4HLgvuCVGgvM1ev1Oh2vSZbFPGl3U #emacsconf2025 #emacs

Incredible, the #emacs user community in India is actually pretty big

Quick question: every time you add a new config, do you alway have to restart #emacs? what tools do you use for reloading or hot-reloading configs in #emacs? eval-buffer apparently doesn't work for everything.

I was wusing the #OpenCode TUI up until now. But I saw it's better to use https://github.com/jdormit/emacs-opencode (everything inside #emacs). The reason? The current opencode doesn't run on every OS....super annoying.

So, I have been silently working with @minad on #Emacs Canvas patch. We're finally working on having it in other platforms beyond GNU/Linux. Today, @tusharhero got hold of an old Windows laptop and asked me if he could test. And, to my immense suprise, with only very minimal code we are able to get Canvas rendered on Windows Emacs!!!! Here are pictures from Tushar's laptop:

@tusharhero @minad While the resulting code was very minimal, it took a lot of headscratching to get my head around (as a #Emacs core nbewbie) the way Emacs handles display for different platforms. If anybody on Windows wants to try, they can compile and try from here:

https://codeberg.org/MonadicSheep/emacs/src/branch/cross-platform

It will help us test as well, next I am going to try to do the same for MacOS. Any MacOS emacs users who can help testing, we would be really grateful.

#emacs #mu4e

is there no way in mu4e to jump to an email in an inbox, e.g. no imenu? any folks have this setup some other way? surely y'all aren't just holding the down arrow till you get to the email you want to reply to...

The wonder / danger of writing a novel in org-mode is that you can be writing a scene and suddenly have an idea about something you could do to make your life easier, and then spend a few minutes (or more) implementing it.

For example, this story's going to have a lot of back-and-forth over chat, and I wanted to be able to represent that visually in the final e-pub.

So, now I've got functionality to quickly set-up the blocks required to make that happen, and to visually represent it.

.....and some staring

Did you know that GNU Emacs and Allegro CL Common Lisp were both shipped in the original NeXT system release?

@restorante I use #Emacs in various aspects of my teaching, as well as almost all of my work.

I've made some blog posts about it. And I've made some videos about it.

Как один зажёванный лист в принтере Xerox привел к созданию GNU Linux и всей философии Open Source

Принято считать, что современный IT-мир построили Гейтс, Джобс или Торвальдс. Но без одного бородатого хакера из MIT, который в 80-х вусмерть разругался с принтером Xerox, у нас бы не было ни Linux, ни Android, ни концепции Open Source в её нынешнем виде. Ричард Столлман — создатель проекта GNU и вирусной лицензии GPL, самый радикальный, неудобный и бескомпромиссный философ от мира IT. Долгие годы индустрия считала его эксцентричным параноиком, который принципиально не пользуется смартфонами и шарахается от проприетарного софта. Но в эпоху тотальной корпоративной слежки и коммерциализации каждого байта его идеи внезапно обрели новый, пугающе актуальный смысл. Вспоминаем историю человека, который в одиночку решил сделать программное обеспечение свободным — и у него почти получилось.

ZOMG HOW DID I MISS THIS

@Haydar Was ich auch sehr gerne lesen würde wäre ein Artikel, wo jemand wie du mit #Emacs #Orgmode anfängt und sich gleich ein System baut, das ihm mit technischen Limits und Nudges vom Übertreiben mit Config-Spielchen bewahrt. 😻

Gäbe genug Ideen: Config im Dateisystem read-only setzen; bei Änderungen verpflichtende git-Commits und eine korrekte Hashsumme fürs Weiternutzen generieren sodass man vor dem Aufwand zurückschreckt, ...

Das wäre schon ziemlich cool, würde dir die Basics in Org à la todo.txt-Level einfach ermöglichen und dich vorm Herumspielen etwas beschützen.

Und ja, ich kann mich gut in dieses Problem hineinversetzen. 😉 Aber als Nerd kann man da kreativ werden und andere daran teilhaben lassen. 🤓

Björk's kitty husband: I SHOULD LEARN MORE EMACS LISP

FYI, if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area and want to talk Emacs, coffee.el is having their monthly meeting this Saturday, May 30 at 11am at Haus Coffee. Details in the link below. All, from the curious to expert-level, are welcome.

https://www.meetup.com/emacs-sf/events/314950692/

#Emacs #SanFrancisco #SFBA

@Zenie @jbaty Giving up #TextExpander was the final, biggest obstacle to transitioning to Linux from MacOS eight or ten years ago. #AutoKey did the job under X, mostly, and #Espanso works sometimes under Wayland but only after a sojourn in config hell. But neither has ever been reliable. It must be a difficult problem space because it just doesn't ever work.

The vast majority of my snippets are for composing email, so I moved them to #yasnippet after I loved to #mu4e. And #Emacs has never let me down.

But that leaves tons of stuff in the browser where one is left just to muddle through.
