Well, it will never be 3500 books. One book often lasts longer than one day, and kids love rereading the same story over and over and over and over again.

Only on Linux it seems. The fact that it makes rendering slower on lower resolution is a big concern. I’m all for speeding up Emacs as a long time user, but I share emacs maintainers stance on not accepting llm code.

Modern LLMs are ok with that, but they do make silly mistakes; and a major problem here is that your init.el stops being your own, if it’s written and maintained by an LLM, you will have no idea what’s going on there. And if you would be re

I used emacs for about 16 years, but never properly gotten into client-daemon setup. What’s your setup? Does the daemon preserve open buffers and stuff, so when you connect you have all your openned stuff? Or each emacs sessions have separa
