But would you agree with it if we lived in a world where nobody ever forgot anything? Because that's what we're living in now with the internet. When I read "right to be forgotten" I think of it just as how people forget

I feel stupid. I opened up the comments and then thought to myself "Hey, I remember reading a confession from the xterm developers themselves about how terribly bloated xterm is, I should go and find it again". After 5 minutes of

One thing I really like about Eshell is how you can make the whole buffer editable. Printed too many lines by accident? Just mark the whole region and do M-x delete-non-matching lines. Other fun things to do include using output redirecti

This actually mirrors my own experience a lot, except for a few differences. Biggest one being I haven't actually looked into employment yet. I too bounced between Vim and Emacs until recently I decided to stick with Emacs. I too switc

2 and 4 alone are reason enough to use it, nice work. EDIT: Wow after trying it out it seems like a long-time bug I've been experiencing has been fixed, I'm willing to bet it's not just the clean install either because I trie

I seem to remember them rejecting Google too so I highly doubt it.

Pretty much. While it's cool coming from Microsoft I'm willing to bet it's going to be an inferior implementation one way or another compared to Linux distributions.

I think it's getting better. In Moon (2009, also spoilers ahead, depending on how you interpret it) the AI actively helps the protagonist. My dad kept wondering when the AI would go rogue or try and stop the protagonist, but the AI nev

Sometimes I really do wish GNU Emacs could work as a window manager too. I'm currently using StumpWM but it feels wrong that it's separated from Emacs. Most of the time on my laptop I just have a bunch of emacsclient -c's run

To be honest, despite what Notch said several years ago I don't think it was ever well on its way to being open-sourced. Any hope that he would "clean it up" vanished when he lost interest in taking active part in developme
