I think, after months of occasional trial and error, I have #Treesitter working my #Emacs config. Most of the problems were my own stupidity, and then months of just giving up. Moving from an ancient Intel Mac to an M5 in the middle of this didn't help.

@azonenberg in #Emacs Calc:

press ' (calc-algebraic-entry)
type "(50 V / 10 kohm)^2 * 10 kohm", press RET
press u c (calc-convert-units)
type "mW", press RET
result: 250 mW

I would like to propose a simple alternative for announcing your Emacs Carnival article: publish one post in your social.org with the tag emacs-carnival, and you are in. Submissions can then be read from any Org Social client, a JSON API or RSS. No endpoints, no extra software.

I explain it here:

#Emacs vterm: Did you know you can pass custom CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to the Emacs vterm module builder? Here is how to build the vterm module natively for your CPU architecture to optimize the C bridge:

1. Add this to your config:

(setq vterm-module-cmake-args
"-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS='-O3 -march=native' -DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS='-Wl,-O2 -Wl,--as-needed'")

2. Then, rebuild the vterm module interactively with: M-x vterm-module-compile

That was fast!

On 2026-07-02, I opened a feature request for #jabberEl to support syntax highlighting for code snippets like #Gajim and #Prose.

https://codeberg.org/emacs-jabber/emacs-jabber/issues/160

On the same day, developers agreed in the group chat, that it was easy to implement in the same way as #orgmode does it.

On 2026-07-05, the feature has been committed to git master by Thanos Apollo.

Thanks!

Finally, I ended my writing about how I'm using Dired in the Emacs. With some configuration examples.

Tried to not just write about ELisp code, but also give some examples, how I'm using it in the real life.

This is a first blogpost, prepared with org-static-blog, not with Jekyll

@arcanechat

Haha, been there, done that 😉

Still, I got used to chat state notifications and prefer to have them. After all, they're optional, at least in the chat clients, I typically use.

(Which are #Dino by @dino, #Gajim by @gajim, and recently #jabberEl in #Emacs.)

@nadiyar You do not need to switch to emacs. You just need to use vi on emacs. One of its name on emacs is evil mode.

#emacs #vi

Right.

And once you get to use Emacs Lisp as a _programming_ language for Emacs,
yours is the world.

I finally have a fantastic, multi-machine-friendly, phone-friendly, calendar view unifying system (so @KNS can see in her calendar) that uses emacs org-mode as my source of record. Updates are reflected very quickly. #emacs #orgmode #orgmode4life

P.S. The ability to share arbitrary calendar slices for availability with others to request slots will be there soon.

I admire @tarsius so much. I wish I had more money to send him. You know he makes his living this way, right? Come on, #Emacs, support him however you can.

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@tarsius/116857447830546754

#Emacs fans! Check out this write-up from Jonas of some long-awaited changes we're rolling out on MELPA. He has done lots of complex work to push this complex over the line recently. 🙌
