I think that #hugo is great, and being able to use my preferred #OrgMode formatting for posts awesome, but I have to admit, the combined markdown for links is perhaps a /little/ over the top e.g.: [[{{< relRef other-page-name >}}][Link Text]]
I almost feel sorry for the round brackets who somehow weren't invited to this bracket fest, but perhaps the round brackets were already occupied keeping my #emacs running.
@cnx In the world of editors, I keep going back to #vim. I'm just so used to it. evil-mode does a great job, but then there's customizations that I already have working in vim, but not #emacs.
I did make a drastic change in my desktop setup, though, I'm running #KDE with #AwesomeWM now. I also found some library to make Awesome's tags (supposedly) work like #XMonad's tags. When this laptop gets to the office with additional monitors, I can see if it makes true on that promise!
Pity the data is spread across so many companies data centers, you can perform all of those #PKM activities in emacs #OrgMode & link their output together then save the results as plain text on your own drives not in a company cloud
but #emacs isn't for everyone & takes investment in time to learn & configure org-mode to suit & the leverage the other emacs packages like magit where you can version control blog posts to see how an article evolves & use it as a fine grained backup
I believe #Tetris is the only game that I loved to play when I was a teen and still love to play 30 years later. And the best thing: it is built right into #Emacs! Just hit M-x tetris and enjoy! 😀 🕹️
Any #emacs users that store per-project #comint history using #projectEl? Especially if it's for #haskell and #haskellMode. I don't expect there will be Haskell specific things... but who doesn't like a copy-paste solution 🙃 Any thoughts in general on per project histories with desktop-save-mode?

A while ago I had to use a Windows machine at work, and of course the first thing I did was install #Emacs on it. Most things worked surprisingly well, but I couldn't get #Mu4e to work. I also tried #NotMuch and #Mew, but I also failed to either install them or compile them.
At the end I tried #Gnus, and everything worked out of the box. I didn't even need to install any GNU utility.
Gnus is not the prettiest, and its terminology and configuration is confusing. But it is incredibly versatile.
It has worked very nicely as an Email email client, specially to manage mailing lists. But now I also use it for things like Reddit and Hackernews.
What are your experiences with Emacs mail clients under Windows? Is anyone using something other than Gnus?
#Gemini is cool but I think it is too restrictive and it needs a specific format.
IMHO, #markdown ( #CommonMark ) over http/https would be very efficient.
Markdown is really a common format for content and there many tools able to manage.
It's easy to put md files on an existing http server.
I've not found a really easy to use markdown extension for Firefox or Chromium. I don"t know if there are browsers that render mardown natively ??
I'm writing a large document in #latex in #emacs and I track my changes with #magit. Is there a way to view to view Levensthein edit distance or similar instead of line diffs? MS Visual Studio actually does this quiet wonderfully despite being otherwise less than wonderful.
Each time I want to improve my #emacs / #orgmode setup, I'm hitting such a complexity wall that I always start rethinking that choice… Org mode is the best thing that happened to my notes and todos capture, but emacs is the most complex software I've run in my life… And loosing so much time for small things (and often not succeeding) is making it less and less worth it for me… And that makes me sad :/
Just got super tired of switching across #emacs windows by typing "C-x o" repeatedly. I searched for a better way and found ace-window by abo-abo. Thanks a lot for that!
Posted a while back about wanting to give #emacs a go for a bit, see what the fuss is about (I'm mostly a #neovim guy).
I've been doing that, specifically with #doomemacs (vanilla was awful, tbh, but Doom has a lot of decent plugins including lsp and Vim emulation out of the box, which makes it very comfortable), and I think I get it now. I'm especially a fan of #orgmode and #orgroam.
For now, I think I'll be using both Doom Emacs and Neovim depending on how I feel. Is...is that allowed?
Upside of #emacs: ease of being able to build your own computing environment. Downside of Emacs: ease of being able to build your own computing environment. It's so tempting to stop doing work and make another tweak to your config that will improve your workflow.
I don’t know if Sohrab Behdani’s screencast is the first #emacs related in #farsi or just the first one I’ve come across, but what a lovely surprise … I speak a little bit of Farsi but not enough to be able to understand everything. Regardless, thanks @sachac for showing how universal the Emacs ecosystem is https://yewtu.be/watch?v=h0oWdOrjjHQ
@ctietze TBH, I'm just thinking out loud what a different #OrgMode experience would look like. My first impressions of MercuryOS was like, "oh wow, #Emacs has got some parts that could do that." Also, I'd observe that so much development effort in Emacs seems to be in accomplishing context-dependent actions. Add to that the UX work by Rougier, it's tantalizing to synthesize these things and think of a far future Emacs that had support for rich UX.
Follow-up question: What kind of zone (AKA screensaver) programs would you like to see in #Emacs? The existing options:
Built-in stuff (most of which scramble the existing buffer text or otherwise mess with it)
Two Matrix™ ones
Rainbow colors
A steam locomotive (clone of the sl command)
A nyancat animation written by yours truly
Most screensaver ideas seem to be about graphics rather than text, but graphics are of course still possible. One thing I've considered is game cut scenes, much like the "attract mode" of arcade machines (or maybe just add a whole game and relax the screen saver rules a bit).
