    Thanks for posting my project. I have been using this for a couple of months now and I no longer get yanked out of a flow state when I have lots of windows open. Window management …

    I transferred all my Sieve rules for marking mail as read to Gnus scoring rules, but haven't made much progress beyond that. I turned on adaptive scoring, but I'm not convinced it …

    It's interesting that this user was using notmuch before Gnus. I switched notmuch.el+notmuch to Gnus+notmuch last year, i.e., I kept using notmuch but I switched from notmuch's own…

    Ha, Emacs, sbcl and gcc are exactly what I've been using for development for the past few months on my Raspberry Pi 4 desktop replacement.

    Consfigurator relies on homoiconicity for starting up Lisp images on remote hosts and giving them instructions. The user's specification of what configuration to apply to a host is…

    You could still do multi-lingual content just by having it in separate .gmi pages and then linking between then. And your screenreader could follow links by embedding the text in t…

    Commenting on posts is something that Gemini enthusiasts are still figuring out. Currently people post Re: posts to their own gemlogs and then mail a link to the person who made th…

    Sorry to put you through that! I normally go back and edit my blog posts at least a little bit, but I wasn't very happy with this one, so I didn't bother. I didn't expect it to hav…

    One of the two main web-to-Gemini proxies can already do this and the gmi2email script I wrote does it too. I think other clients probably can too.
