I use Emacs's markdown mode for syntax highlighting. I have never used live export, but looked for it in its dropdown menu, found it, and clicked it: https://i.imgur.com/0LG6nnS.pn…

I'm keen to hear more about VS Code's remote editing strengths over TRAMP. What is it in particular? I see some UI operations block on TRAMP operations which is laggy and annoying.…

Sorry for misunderstanding. I see now that you meant autocompletion like LSP (rather than M-x minibuffer completion). Emacs could benefit from built-in LSP, I agree. Emacs-devel ar…

> Emacs has [...] no autocomplete, and doesn't show available functions My impression is that you are not familiar with Emacs.

It's a great strength that NeoVim supports many languages, and VS Code uses Javascript. Lisp is not widely used, and this is an impediment to Emacs' popularity. However, when peopl…

Browsers are at the forefront of interfacing with the web. If VR is coming to the web, Mozilla need to at least be ready for this, if not leading it.

I use Firefox. I don't use an ad blocker, but I do use Firefox's tracking protection, and first party isolation. If Mozilla doesn't track with this ad, I'm _okay_ with it.

Mozilla is in a tough spot. An ad for their VPN might be amongst the least bad options they have. Mozilla plays an important role in providing platform diversity. Any user that wan…
