Which is what 95 percent of computer use is now.
- nequo 2y agoUnless you’re an Emacs user. Then it is 100 percent.
- hollerith 2y agoEmacs users spend 100% of their time in a web browser?
- nequo 2y agoI shouldn’t have to explain a joke[1] but yes: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/eww.html https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/eww.html [1] This phrase is a self-deprecating remark about my own joke making abilities, not a slight at parent.
- RobotCaleb 2y agoDid you mean for this to be as condescending or off-putting as it comes across? I'm really trying to be generous in my interpretation but I'm not sure how else to read it.
- nequo 2y agoCondescending towards Emacs users? No. There’s a general theme in Emacs users’ testimonials that you end up doing everything in Emacs. For many that includes web browsing. Hence the joke. It doesn’t include web browsing for me but no condescension intended. If you don’t like my joke, that’s okay. I’m sorry. Edit: Also not intended to be condescending towards your grandparent commenter. Apologies again.
- lief79 2y agoIf they use emacs as the web browser, quite likely. My dad spent a couple years basically using it as his standard OS while consulting. Couldn't guarantee what software a company required, but if everything was done through emacs, he'd have no problem setting it up to his liking. Emails, builds, etc. I think this was before the web browser was up to snuff though. I never quite got into it at that level, but the power users easily demonstrate the value of knowing a powerful system very well.
