I switched from org-roam to denote. What was my compelling reason to do so? Less weight, more portability.

I also pruned the metanote/backlink implementation which allowed me to shed almost 100 "notes." They only existed for org-roam-ui and were otherwise just a lot of noise in the signal.

Denote even has its own graphing feature with `denote-explore-network` from the `denote-explore` package. It's static and requires no server.

Since I re-built my notes system with #Emacs and Denote, I'm going through my years of #Logseq notes, just to save the most fleshed out ones and put them into my new system.

I have today realised that for some reason some notes in Logseq are not showing up anymore. The md files are still there, the notes are there as well but they show as empty.

Re-indexing does nothing at all. They are basically invisible to the program, as if they are empty.

Very glad of my move, on many different levels.

I will be shutting down emacs.social in the next few days. I don’t think there are to many people using it and I’m getting where I cannot afford it anymore. #emacs

#emacs

any emacs nerds know how to get completing-read to ignore diacritics. e.g.

(completing-read "prompt: " '("épris" "épais")) [type "epr RET"] => "épris"

Dear God, show me the way to be content with my fully working Emacs-config and give me strength to resist temptation to tinker with some fancy bullshit functionality or package that will break everything for the 100th time and I will probably never use.Let my startup time always be low. Amen. #emacs

@aral
Thanks again for kitten!

the main thing for me (still quite a while til I need to use it) is that the kitten eepitch is a very convenient interface into the #kitten's kittendb (from inside #emacs).

So the kitten eepitch can be used to read and set values that determine what pages are generated, in real time.

This is useful reflectively by visiting the kitten in emacs' eww browser.

@eduardoochs we must convince Aral to adopt your category diagrams for Kitten's database typing ;p

“Most of #Emacs are anti-fascists because Lisp promotes hacking and avoiding rigid structures. Interactive, REPL hacking does not match a rigid structure modulo the OS for stability.”

@anthk that is an interesting hypothesis. I am not sure if I believe it is true, but I would like it if it were true. I like your idea.

I get the sense that people who like Emacs are anti-fascist because anti-fascists like Lisp, and I think the reason they like Lisp is because they have an appreciation for rules and laws which are minimal, elegant, and allow for beautiful behavior to emerge within the ecosystem.

Fascists, on the other hand, want to control and dominate, and they strongly prefer using brute force and violence. Fascists see computers as a weapon and as a means to maximizing their political power. They don’t appreciate things of beauty or minimalism (like Lisp), they are only interested in using the most effective tool to achieve their end goals.

We with @baleine had a lot of fun with Ares/Arei Guile Scheme IDE lately and finally made 0.9.6 release.

Now Ares works with Guile 3.0.9, which means no more guile-next shamanic rituals anymore.

We added a sick stack viewer (arei-debug-mode), ares-nrepl CLI, metacommands support, nrepl server's embeded mode, macroexpansion under cursor and more.

Full announce and links to releases:

Kudos to Noé for the release and his very active work before it!

Hi, I've coded Java in Emacs. Have been doing so for 25 years, starting out with jdee, then eclim, lsp-mode and now eglot. (Also 2-3 others in between, but those didn't stick). Much easier to set up than it used to be. Most things work more or less as well as intellij, the main exception being the debugger. The intellij debugger is just too good, so Ikeep idea around just for that.

You may have a look at my screencast and conf if you want:

@ramin_hal9001 @mauro Most of #Emacs are anti-fascists because Lisp promotes hacking and avoiding rigid structures. Interactive, REPL hacking does not match a rigid structure modulo the OS for stability. Suckless it's bad because configuration should be handled like cwm does; a simple config file with simple values and that's it.
Even Emacs' roots (ITS) were made to give computing skills to everyone (open access, no permissions unlike Multics, Unix or VMS).
