The only constant worth sharing is that I am always learning something new. Usually it's something I should've learnt before! profile picture is an image of a bonnie the bunny from five nights at freddys as a pillow pet gone through heavy compression.

In my country, it is utmost impossible to share our mental health issue with other people. Why, since mental health is still taboo. When people learn about our issue, they will avoid us like plague and the employment world will be closed forever. The only way to share my issues is through a semi anonymous Mastodon account. Note: since English is not my native language, I often edit my posts to make them easier to read or to fix grammar mistakes.

I will make a comparison. Editor like Atom, VSCode and Zed are a Toyota. Very nice car indeed.
But Emacs is a battle tank or Apache helicopter or even an alien mother ship.
People will find it much easier to drive a Toyota. But people need lot of practice to drive a battle tank.
#Emacs #Atom #VSCode #Zed
Yes, I agree with you that we can use other editor suitable for our situation'

Emacs is such a wonderful editor. But it has a huge advantage and a problem at the same time.
It is highly efficient and highly intuitive for those proficient with it. But need time to practice and highly UNintuitive for those starting to use Emacs.
Many people need editor which can be used fast.

I found this reply that I made in 1984 to Dennis Ritchie in the net.followup newsgroup. I was at the time lobbying Sun to add 8-bit character set support to the firmware, but they wanted to hold out for a 16-bit system, like the as yet unnamed Unicode. There was eventually an interim solution but my memory of that is a bit foggy.

Multiplayer mode for your text editor! Teamtype enables real-time collaborative editing of local text files. You can use it for pair programming or note-taking, for example. It's the missing real-time complement to Git! A project by @blinry and @zormit, funded by @nlnet and @PrototypeFund.

Imagine a protocol like #LSP, but for adding real-time collaboration to existing text editors. It would allow #Neovim to edit a #Hedgedoc, or peer-to-peer pair programming between #VSCode and #Emacs!
We've come up with our own little protocol like that (for Teamtype), but we'd like to open up the discussion:
That's why we're inviting everyone interested to an initial online gathering on Feb 26, 19:00 UTC, to gauge interest for working on a protocol like this together!

Any #starling-el users out there who miraculously see this: Starling have removed the insights API, so the insights feature is broken right now.
I plan to remove it when I have a sec.
Everything else works as before though.

I think the war has been, is, and will always be about Vi & Emacs. It will never be about VSCode because the weight is different.
Vi/Emacs is the Jomsviking of text editing.
