Yes, and I use terminal emulators too, but I look at it the same way I look at browsers. Sure, there is a lot of useful stuff being made with heavy Javascript dependencies, weird Web frameworks, etc., but this doesn't mean that the te

I am saying that terminal emulation is bad?

Acme and Emacs give good examples of how a non-terminal shell session can look like. They also make clear how a good CLI application should behave like.

My constant fear with TikTok is not whether or not you can train it, but whether you will realize when it has managed to train you.

The terminal (or rather terminal emulation) is a mistake, people should stop glorifying it. It has no inherent value, beyond being able to run historical software that was bound to a terminal. Most of all one should stop confusing the term

You can get a new Nokia dumbphone for 60 euros: https://www.nokia.com/phones/de_de/nokia-6310?sku=16POSE01A0... . Up until recently there were even models that only cost 20.

Why would you even what that? I get the opposite (phone without internet), but this has all the downsides for the development of a child without the advantage of a child being able to contact their parents or vice versa?

So something like abduco ( https://www.brain-dump.org/projects/abduco/ ) should do the job too? I think GP's comment was more concerened with the terminal multiplexing, not the ability to detach a session.

I am not too surprised that the confluence point between Plan 9 and Google have little interest in following the GNU way.

I like to see it this way: A shell /wraps/ the kernel. You cannot issue system calls directly, but a program that handles user input generically (and ideally dynamically), can do this for you. A desktop environment, Emacs, and

Is it only on my system, or does https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Emoji show a mix of colored and black-and-white icons?

> Emojis in source code and program output, eh, not my style but it's harmless. Only they do not indicate anything critical. Not everyone has emoji-capable fonts installed.

I understand your point, but I am not convinced. Nit because I belive in some inherent superiority of some or another set of keybindings, but rather because on the one hand evil isn't a perfect emulation (any somewhat experienced Vim

Could you elaborate on what you mean? The intention is not to have a finished configuration that requires no more work, but to provide a template on which further customizations can be made.

Sadly, you are right. Fixed it here: https://git.sr.ht/~pkal/ecg/commit/c3522dfe01e0479d01869bf4e...

I have no experience with Evil or that entire space. I would be interested to look into how the situation can be improved, but then again, I do believe that evil-mode is fundamentally just an emulation layer, and shouldn't be regarded

I cannot comment on the differences, all I can say that I chose Eglot because it is more in line with my understanding of an ideomatic Emacs package, and it is available via GNU ELPA.

I wouldn't say so, customize is a useful interface to get an overview of all the options a package or feature might provide, but without any order or structure beyond the group hierarchy.

This seems very unlikely, since CUA mode doesn't work perfectly, and the chance of the C-c prefix being given up for a single command is next to zero.

Good point. I will add backup file configuration. Tough disabling them all together is rarely worth it, moving them to some other directory is usually preferable.
