Indeed, its not hard. I went through it this summer. However, I switched from a personal domain to a fastmail domain. Why? My domain registrar fucked me over. At that point, I had used my personal domain for close to 10 years when suddenly

But see, it's not a multi-year effort. It's at most a couple of hours spread over a couple of years with 99.9% of the effort put in today and the next couple of days.

No it's not. You get a new email, set all incoming mail from the old one to forward to the new one, tell the people you are in contact with about the new email, and then just change the email on the services you use when you use it. Do

I never implied they didn't prefer it, so I wonder why you seem to think so.

I'd recommend anyone to do so. I have been programming professionally for almost 15 years, and never used emacs nor lisp until a month ago. I have however used a lot of other languages, and have been using vim as my main editor for the

Well, that might be the intention, but I have never experienced an "RSS Reader" that have left me with the want to actually consume the content inside it. I much prefer opening say an article in a browser and reading it with &quot

I don't think 1., 2., and 3. is applicable to at least how I use my RSS reader. Also, I don't understand why that is not the norm... The way I use my RSS reader is that I scroll through the list of posts, and if it's somethin

How can you tell it works? I've been trying now 5 times to enable it, and testing if it works. If I understand correctly, if I log in to gmail.com (mail.google.com), google.com should be logged in, but google.dk and youtube.com shouldn

I do all my document-making in emacs with org-mode and evil (vim-mode). Seriously, it's amazing. When you are done, you are one command away from having it in markdown/pdf/latex/html/word or any other format you can

I'd rather say it's the unix way. Check out this[1] screenshot. tmux, and inside is vim, git, and cargo visible. My work environment is based on simple primitives that are all able to be composed and set up to ones preferences. [1

Yeah, exactly. I use NERDTree for discovering new projects, but other than that, I use a fuzzy matcher for files and buffers. I used ctrlp for years, but recently switched to fzf because it's just faster.

Exactly! Firefox is very rough and slow compared to Safari on my 2016 MacBook Pro, with or without an external 4K monitor. I'd like to use Firefox, but I tend to just open Safari instead because it just feels better.
