#Irreal highlighted @jbaty blog post on the "gravitational pull of emacs" a cyclic moving away for simplicity's sake and a gradual pull back as personal comforts of customisations coax and inevitable return to #emacs
I've noticed a similar tidal motion back and forth, but instead of simple note-taking apps I flow between Emacs and other simpler #FOSS editors, like #Featherpad or #Notepadplusplus
Ultimately the draw & utility of #OrgMode sucks me back into Emacs and has me nuzzling comfortably back in my custom config.
This is probably a result of trying to walk the tight rope of balance between literally "getting things done" (not the GTD system) and "making life easier" with settings & customising.
I suppose, one day, the customisations might reach a stable state & the use of other editors becomes unnecessary. Balance achieved. Enlightenment.
But you know, in tech, everything moves on eternally so the balance undulates softly over time. Not to mention our lives and needs also shift over time.
So perhaps this do-si-do dance we do, will always be?

eww.el has commands to manage bookmarks and history but I wanted a version that uses HTML so that eww-lnum and other eww functionality works as usual. This also adds a new my-eww-global-history variable because the normal eww-history is buffer-local.
#emacs people: Is there an easy way to customise org-capture (and perhaps org-agenda) to just use the same window and leave my window management alone?
I’m knee-deep into stack overflow posts and wasting way too much time here. This is one of my most longstanding annoyances of #orgmode
(This is actually one of the reasons #orgrr does not use org-capture for new notes.)
If Google Podcasts asks to export all subscriptions to YouTube Music and this one finds nothing to import, the only reliable solution is to move everything to elfeed in #Emacs.
Can anyone recommend some good programming blogs (in the realm of lisps, emacs, guix, technical deep dives) that offer RSS feeds? I've already got https://wingolog.org/ from @wingo which is pretty much the exact genre of blog I'm looking for. https://ianthehenry.com/posts/ from @ianthehenry is also a good one (although the RSS feed doesn't seem to work with GFeeds :).
I just think it would be cute to have a selection of RSS feeds to browse through :)
you can install GNU/linux on flash drive(full-featured version) or use virtualisation,
WSL and cygwin are solutions, too
consider Tor browser through VPsN, Richard Stallman uses it exclusively; about:config in firefox adrress bar to javascript.enabled = false, or use EU (eww, emacs web browser)
