Related: I just picked up a new skill ☺

Did you know that when you use #Emacs with #exwm and have #mpv running in a window or frame next to the text document where you write down the lyrics, you can record a macro that switches over to mpv, jumps back by 10 seconds and then switches to your text file again?

Then "10s back please" is just C-x e

And suddenly writing down the lyrics is much more convenient -- saving enough time that you can write a toot explaining how you did it ☺

❤️

Proud to announce another release of my little text editor, kg, now at v1.1.0

Went back from #doomemacs to my own #emacs configuration. There were just too many unknowns, too little documentation - basically too much magic.

@profoundlynerdy I am using git to manage every project folder, and I follow a standardized structure, described at https://schurch.ento.vt.edu/post/project_organization/. As a recent change, I just this past week experimented with Make to run R scripts and render reports via Emacs, rather than having an R script reaching out to bash. Emacs / Org-mode also renders to Word, so I can collaborate with others.

In 1990 Dr. Peter Lee's 15-212 course at #CarnegieMellon introduced me to Scheme. It's also when I first came to comprehend the power of #Emacs and #EmacsLisp.

In the first hour, Professor Lee demonstrated elegantly that everything is a list: data are lists and programs are lists. Every list returns a value, and functions are just lists that do calculations! Functions can return lists, of course, and so you can write functions that return functions!

I ran to the lab to hack Lisp: it wasn't in your pocket, it was in a room worth more than your parents' house. Nothing had ever seemed more natural: write, evaluate, repeat. Hack a nugget, nest lists, add parentheses, hack bigger things. But the magic thing where you write code that returns code remained a mystery: we did lots of cool stuff in that course, but we never got to macros.

Until 2026.

The surprise? The surprise is that as each decade passes, I grow to cherish lifelong learning as more and more precious.

Using Denote for Email: A manual workflow: https://taonaw.com/2026/05/26/using-denote-for-email-a.html

Denote wasn’t built for email, but since I’m tired of Apple Mail for long emails, a quick manual copy-paste solves the problem. It’s not a sophisticated workflow, but it works.

#Emacs #orgmode #denote #email #writing

@thelinuxcast Stop! You're terrible Muriel. I feel old enough as it is. If we go play with Emacs can we pretend the last six years never happened? I swear there has to be a key combination for that. C-u C-x C-t C-M-x ... it summons the GNU Gods, they ask three FOSS questions, get them right, and time rewinds. Best go study the GPL v3 and AGPL. 🤣

The #Memacs framework just learned how to get your #PodcastAddict #podcast episodes into your #Emacs #Orgmode with a new module:
https://github.com/novoid/Memacs

It's using the app's backup files which I have synchronized to my desktop anyhow:

uv --project path/to/memacs run memacs_podcastaddict --backup-dir /path/to/backup/PodcastAddict/ -o ~/org/memacs/podcasts.org_archive

My personal setup now has 2819 finished episodes on my agenda. 😲 👍

sneak peek at my new emacs package (just open-sourced and still very unstable, but I'm too excited to not share anything about it)

#emacs #lisp #ai #hermes #orgmode

ok, this is still *highly unstable*, but I'm so excited about it that I want to share a quick screencast of my new emacs package. (this is way more work than I thought when I started, but I'm starting to reach feature parity with the official TUI)

I'm trying to use #Emacs #tramp remotely for development on embedded devices.
The idea is that I can use the integration that Emacs provides with less tools on the remote.
However I found that #eshell is really slow on remote connections.
Has anyone found a way to make commands called in eshell on remote connections asynchronous?

🤡 Oh, the classic tale of "let's integrate two complex things because why not?" 🙄 Here we have someone heroically wrestling with window managers and #editors, only to discover that not all programs play nice with their grand vision—especially those rowdy apps like #Steam. But hey, at least #Emacs can switch themes, right? 🎨✨

Mmh... so I compiled the latest #emacs master branch and somehow eglot was not rendering via eldoc anymore with a cryptic "Error running timer: (invalid-function #'gfm-extract)". I found a good hack to fix it: if you have treesitter and the markdown and markdown-inline grammars, eglot will use these for rendering instead of gfm-mode. Still don't understand exactly what was the origin of the error though.

Anyone fancy trying out a new markdown renderer in #emacs agent-shell and reporting bugs?

Time to use normal browsers for #Android :drgn_blush_giggle:

There is an #Emacs in #Termux . I already replaced open-slopwared ConnectBot to connect to my server(s) with usual ssh client in Termux (bc person who need to use LLM to create a SSH client — couldn't be a good programmer, and couldn't be a good creator, and I can't trust software, created in this way).

And its time to understand how to launch emacs-x on the phone :drgn_3c_evil:
