I watched oppenheimer in emacs, u watched it in imax, we are not the same
Too bad Emacs doesn’t have a good text editor.
Evil mode helps with that
Modalka for me. It has exactly what you want and no more, which also makes it a lot easier to learn: useful for me that I’m not a programmer.
eMacs takes a life time to learn, so the sooner you start, the longer it will take.
Upvote just for “melon husk” 😂
Emacs is the GOAT computing environment.
I couldn’t help but think of Emacs when I was reading A Constructive Look At TempleOS. It’s like TempleOS that is actually finished, it just lacks kernel.
Thanks for sharing. I have never seen that deep dive into templeOS before and it is a much more interesting OS than I anticipated.
Yeah it’s pretty amazing system all things considered. It’s kind of as if 8-bit home computer systems continued to evolve, but keep the same principles of being really closely tied to the HW and with very blurry line between kernel and user space. It radiates strong user ownership of the system. If you look at modern systems where you sometimes don’t even get superuser privileges (for better of worse) it’s quite a contrast.
Which is why it reminds me of Emacs so much. You can mess with most of the internals, there’s no major separation between “Emacs-space” and userspace. There are these jokes about Emacs being OS, but it really does remind me of those early days of home computing where you could tinker with low level stuff and there were no guardrails or locks stopping you.
I’m sure the port to TempleOS is being worked on as we speak
just lacks kernel.
Sounds like a trademark of GNU tbh
GNU Hurd is going to be mainstream any minute now.
There was another Twitler who tried to create an everything Reich.
Elon is racing him to see who can collapse a thousand-year social media platform the fastest
Surely Elon would prefer the old Lucid fork, https://www.xemacs.org/
What even is emacs
Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping
Esc-Meta-Alt-Ctrl-Shift
A self-documenting, extensible lisp computing environment that uses text buffers as its main data format.
An extremely extensible text editor, there’s jokes that it can do literally anything, you can play music, watch video, etc.
It’s often at war with the cult of vi and the church of emacs.
You should really convert to helixism, the latest messianic update to the cult of vi.
I’m a vim and emacs user for some decades already. I had this urge one day to try and work with helix. It kind of misses some things such as file manager or editorconfig support. Nine months later I’m still using helix. It still misses these things, but I really started to like how I don’t need any plugins to work with it and I need about five lines of configuration to have a usable editor. Probably going to continue using it.
And it is written in Rust, which is my main language and I can just jump in to the editor source and fix things if needed.
I miss magit and org from emacs a lot though. Every time I need to write an article, I do it in emacs.
It’s probably this, for all of you whou didn’t know Helix before, like me: https://helix-editor.com/
Don’t forget us nanoites. The clearly superior text editor
nanoers just never figured out how to :wq
if you listen closely, you can still hear the terminal bells ringing of those that never managed to ESC
Use
:x
you plebThey just said
:wq
in school, so thanks for the tip. Hard to believe it saves even when the file hasn’t been changed if you use:wq
. What is the use case for that? If the file gets changed in another program and you want to revert?? Edit: Just saw the comment about the modification times being updated.But what if you wanted to write even if there weren’t changes?
Then you use
:wq
:x
? Real Programmers useZZ

I’ve thinking of using Usenet. What client would you recommed for mobile and desktop?
Built-in Emacs news reader Gnus for desktop, obviously. I don’t use Usenet on mobile, so idk.
Aw man, now I have to download an whole OS just to use Usenet? /s
I know, I know. But nobody made a news reader for BIOS/UEFI yet, so…
Which video player did you use?
im a vim user, i dont usually put videos players in my text editor
otherwise, i use mpv for desktop
It’s possible to watch videos in the terminal as ASCII art with both vlc and mplayer, by the way.
mpv --vo=tct
Sorry mate, my tired brain interpreted the post in the picture as something you’ve written :)
OP did write the part you’re referring to lol
Oh man, I really should be getting more sleep :D
Late 30s dev here: I’ve never cared to learn emacs or vim, tried when younger, but left it. Am I a fraud?
I used to be a vim fan but now I only use it for modifying files over SSH. Other than that I code with an IDE, you can’t beat all the plugins and linters with a in-terminal editor. A colleague still codes in emacs and its code is dirty af.

PEBKAC - don’t blame emacs (not sure why anyone would use it when vim exists, though)
What’s emac?
It’s an iMac with electronics in it.
It’s like a Big Mac but with emu meat.
Ain’t that one of them Mortal Kombat fighters?
My fav one.
