Meh, I just load up manjaro with XFCE and call it a day. Not much fiddling involved, very little about the user experience that I don't like. Only thing I ever really tweaked was r…

The TODO is regarding documentation iirc. All the languages supported are in the init.example.el file seen here: https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/blob/develop/init.exa... Unc…

I find undo-tree to be super useful in rare occasions, thanks to undo-tree-visualizer-toggle-diff bound on d. The quick diffs can be pretty darn helpful with complex changes.

To be fair, they're the largest non-pornographic video platform. Making them an endless target for any and all abuse possible to grow channels quickly and earn ad revenue. It's ine…

> What am I missing? Touching your mouse less. Might sound weird, but that's honestly my main reason for learning modal editing and emacs with evil. Less flip flopping between mous…

I just used (and still use) org-mode to track todos & projects, as well as keep time that was spent on each task. I tried not to over complicate my task keeping, because I've alway…

Feature minimalism is a good thing to strive for usually . Wrote my own dirt simple lazy loader & slider libraries, because I didn't need many of the features other libs had. On th…

This is the thing I don't get. Who precisely is this concept even marketable to? People with high speed internet, that also can't afford a gaming console? But can afford a device c…

Nah, I just spam M-x butterfly for 8 hours and then go home. No need to hold 3 modifier keys.

Even as an emacs user, the answer is generally "No, I don't really use the function keys". I mean, you're right that I use them to change brightness or change volume. But the touch…

Plenty of people still use Emacs. I picked it up several months ago after using Jetbrains IDE's for quite a long time, and honestly haven't felt the need for any of what Jetbrains …

Again, just more insane elitism. You keep going to the "OH MY GOD, PEOPLE WOULD DIE" examples to try and make a fairly weak point. No one is going to die, because some noob made a …
