You can also long-click the button instead of hovering. Also, see the menu bar entries related to window management, which replicates these same functions but can be bound to keys in the system settings.

I’m currently using Krohnkite [1] to get dynamic tiling in KDE, and Klassy [2] to get i3wm-like pixel borders instead of full window decorations. [1]: https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite [2]: https://github.

If I recall directly, Apple was between buying BeOS and NeXT. Would be interesting what would have happened if they went the Be route instead of the Unix route. (But given that MacOS and BeOS were both fringe at the time, perhaps they would

Yeah, disabling cursor blinking is the first configuration I do in any terminal.

If you have a hiDPI monitor, then reading even small fonts is IMO less annoying. But no monitor can still beat the DPI of a good printer.

2-column format has narrower columns, which means that your eyes move more vertically than horizontally while reading it. That is considered conducive to “skimming” long texts if you’re a “speed reader”. Do you mean that you’re using AI as

Just to add to your testimony, Karthik: On macOS some of the Emacs keybindings also work system-wide. You can e.g. use C-a/e, C-k, and C-n/p/f/b in every macOS text field, like e.g. in browser text fields. This is one of

I’m curious if an LLM-based defense for this could be made. Like a browser plugin that warns you if you type identifiable information (like occupation) into a text field, and highlights turns of phrase that are “unusual” enough to be identi

If you’re on Apple devices only, then iCloud sync is free and works on all devices. I no longer use Obsidian, so not sure what’s the best option for e.g. Linux <-> iOS sync except their service.

I had some luck with Ollama + Mistral Nemo models on consumer hardware, it seemed to punch above its "weight class". But it’s still far enough behind ChatGPT et al. that I couldn’t stop using that for real work.

That’s because Thunderbird is no longer part of Mozilla but an independent, community-developed project.

That doesn’t fit all use cases though. For example, how to fill passwords in mobile apps on the go, or how to share a subset of your passwords with your family (including syncing password changes with them).

I got a pretty bad case of RSI with that setup, since it encourages one-handed chording (e.g. pressing C-x C-s by holding down your pinkie on Caps Lock while twisting your wrist to tap X then S using other fingers on the same hand). It’s fa

Me to, but to be fair, I think this is no longer unique to Emacs. See for example the "command palette" in VSCode; it isn’t "tab completion" per se but similar to e.g. M-x with Vertico.

You can just do `git diff --word-diff` and then the diffs look great even with one paragraph per line. I used to do one sentence per line, but after getting used to how Emacs handles soft-wrapping, I now do one paragraph per line—also when

I somewhat regularly use the almost embarrassing key sequence Ctrl-C Ctrl-L Ctrl-V Ctrl-A Ctrl-X to sanitize text I’ve copied from a browser, using the address field to remove any formatting.

Why? I’m currently trying to decide between Borg and Restic myself. Borg has worked very well for me in the past, and I’m a bit excited by the new Vorta GUI frontend. But I already have a BackBlaze B2 setup for backing up my Mac, and Restic

Sadly, most other keybindings differ between org-mode, markdown-node, and auctex. I would have loved more consistency, and often end up typing the syntax instead of tripping up keybindings.

I guess the people you quote also missed that not all of us work in Silicon Valley and can afford those expensive coffees every day. I’d like an estimate of how many Nescafé powder coffee cups I’d have to skip per month to use their subscri
