One power of the #emacs Personal Development Environment (#PDE): the ability to jump to my notes files from any place in my work. https://orys.us/uG

Time is NOT simple. #Emacs #orgmode has made assumptions succesfully for 20+ years, but in today's age, timezones make it tough. How tough? Check out the detailed, non-toxic discussion going on right now. https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=emacs-orgmode%40gnu.org&q=date:20230114&o=newest

I thought that I needed an emacs sub-process to run Telega without it freezing my #emacs #exwm. Turns out I just neeeded a fast internet connection; now that I have true broad-band it works out (after a 30-60 second initialization freeze, which it does in a sub-process, too). Elfeed still seems to choke things down if I don't have it in a subprocess, though. Running "refresh" makes some kind of unescaping loop in the main process.

The "dragon" application (think drag-on) is super handy for #emacs #exwm and probably was made for tiling window managers like iw3m. Go from dired to, eg, Google Drive drag-and-drop. Don't mind the Google Drive view error (I dunno what caused that). https://orys.us/uC

I use the excellent #emacs #Telegram app; then it's easy to open a given link in a text-browser is pretty nice for avoiding annoying ads (could also use Spray mode to speed read it, if I want, instead of the two-pane reading view). #FollowMode #W3M

#emacs

Gotta say, this is pretty cool. Finally some nice #json viewing in #emacs! https://github.com/iwahbe/jsonian

I have never viewed epub before os thought I would try it. Because of dependencies and non-github repos, the #emacs #straight.el install had a few more steps. https://orys.us/uw

Or, you know, #dired in #emacs

Coming across another "#vscode vs #emacs" thread, I just have to ask, how is vscode at doing email? How about RSS feeds? Spreadsheets? Daily agendas? Because emacs is very, very good at those...

last week my #orgmode started having severe issues (which is a major work issue), apparently not loading a crucial file. Today I was having problems with my bluetooth headphones, too; connected but not seen as an audio device. Suddenly everything is working again. I don't know why. #GhostsInTheMachine #emacs #guix #bluetooth

Today the #emacs survey has opened up. Check it out! https://emacssurvey.org/

On a podcast a neo-vimmer introduced a term that I think is valuable: #PDE -- Personal Development Environment, which describes my #emacs or his VIM as opposed to out-of-the-box solutions that are ever-popular and ever-changing

Studly is from before public internet, and is still in #emacs! What?

@Endless_WebDev hey, studly.el is (c) 1986, which I think proves time travel is real

There is always some really fascination software archeology to happen when one starts tapping in to the history of #emacs. Like, `gnus-uu-decode-binhex`. What in the world is that for?

I attempted to use #emacs artist mode to white-board the server-client-middleware-db full-stack archetecture during a video call, but failed. It's been too long since I flexed my ascii-art muscles.

#emacs tip: registers OOB to super quickly
- Remember some text for copying
- Remember window configuration
- Remember cursor locations inside a buffer

I plan events through #emacs orgmode agenda. For simple note-less recurring events I do a <2022-09-12 9:00 Mon +1w> to get it weekly, or daily, etc. For more granularity I use `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift` (C-c C-x c). I make then for a month or year in advance and just use `COMMENT` on the upcoming section, until I need to open it.
