Why don't people ever give native emacs a try? No evil-mode, no super-bloat spacemacs, just barebone emacs with maybe one or two plugins??

Fix the broken code, what else? (mbed is a software platform for smaller devices) Now if you have deployed this to millions of iot devices without a eorkbg firmware upgrade system, tough luck buddy :(

How many local jobs are lost due this? How much is paid to Redmond instead of local companies who pay taxes in Munich? I think FSFE is doing a bad job reminding politicians and the public about that.

Why do you think the free/open source stuff don't "just work"? Also, a lot of time using FOSS is a choice we make not because of the price or principals but for convenience. I simply don't want to juggle licenses an

If this is true, I'm going to get one asap and try to use it as my main phone. Next time my bank/barber/grocery store asks my to install their stupid app to get full service I will flash my 3310 and ask if it is available for

Aldo, doesn't docker on mac and Windows use an expensive linux virtualization layer? I think OP would get much better battery time if he used a proper Linux machine.

Try mg :) Edit: mg is an emacs-like editor that is even leaner than vi, has off course the same key bindings as emacs, and also shares the same openbsd roots as tmux. It is also the default editor in openbsd.

Yeah, but I don't like the emacs terminal. I feel spacemacs is just a vim clone with really bad cpu and ram utilization. If I am going that road, why not use an ide like eclipse or visual studio instead?
