As we are preparing for the release of #emacs #orgmode 9.5, we need your help: please go through https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#types-of-contributions and see how you can contribute 🙏

RT appreciated, of course.

After 26.5 days running, my #Emacs peaks at at 2.1 GiB resident (while IceCat is at 1.9 GiB) and I’ll have to reboot. It’s a good opportunity to get the newer device driver, “Linux” they call it.

Still, something’s wrong.

I sat down this week-end and tried to compress what I learned from using to-do lists for the last 15 years (with #emacs #orgmode of course): https://bzg.fr/en/on-using-to-do-lists-efficiently/

I'm curious: what is the most important thing YOU learned about to-do lists?

Started doing Emacs package management with guix.

Next I'll probably do the Latex package management with guix.

One package manager to rule them all.

Mixed feelings for me: “woohoo!” comes to mind, and also “what about Guile?” — Conway’s law applies! I’m sure it’ll make me a happy user anyhow. :-)

I don't mean to sound like "that girl who only ever talks about email in Emacs"

but like... I *could* just do a rundown / comparison of all the Emacs mail clients:

* rmail* gnus* notmuch* m4ue* wanderlust* mh-e* mew (?)* ???

Like, would it be a huge waste of my time? Yeah probably.

Would it be fun though? Yeah, definitely!

Upcoming Saturday, there will be a (pre-recorded) talk by me on #Emacs #Orgmode Features You May Not KnowFind the details on https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/mif3sb/glt21conferencetalk_emacs_org_mode_features_you/

Consistent Technical Documents Using #Emacs and #Orgmodehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g9BcZvQbXU

Very nice demo! 👏

Why would somebody use something else for writing technical manuals? 🤔

#Emacs 27.2 is released: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2021-03/msg01249.html

It comes with #orgmode 9.4.4, the latest stable Org release.

Enjoy!

i wouldn't be so against having to learn more about #emacs to configure some modes or hooks or whatever if at least it was written in a language that i could use for something besides configuring emacs. as it is right now, if a package doesn't work out of the box with maybe some minimal configuration that i can figure out in 10 minutes, i usually just give up and not use it at all.

#emacs joke time!What do the Uruk-Hai use to schedule their invasions?orc-mode !

Column Mode in #Emacs #OrgMode is amazing. I can't believe I ignored it for a decade. It's the thing I've been missing all that time for managing tasks in OrgMode.

(In short, it allows you to display a subtree or whole Org document as a table, with columns of your choice (including summary columns), and ability to edit cells inline with context-aware commands - e.g. if you edit (e) a "Schedule" column, it pops up a date selector; if you edit TODO state, it popups TODO state selector, etc.)

#IBus, #XIM, #Emacs experts, please take a look at this - possibly inter-connected - bug and see if you can help fixing it:

Spaces are added at wrong places when typing in #Sinhala in Emacs:1) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2021-02/msg00391.html 2) https://github.com/ibus/ibus-m17n/issues/27

#Unicode #IM #GNU #Linux

Without unpacking any tangential baggage – whatsoever –, the single greatest thing my Comp. Sci. department in college did for me was introduce me to #Emacs.

A little something I just made for #emacs #OrgMode - a bit of #EmacsLisp code to visualize dependencies between tasks, milestones, etc.

Currently it handles basic TODO states (color) parent-child relationships and org-edna blockers (ID only).

Because I keep saying that tasks tend to form graphs, not trees or lists, and it's nice to have a way to encode and visualize it.

(I have many ideas where to take this further, but progress depends mostly on my own itches to scratch.)

#projectmanagment

A reminder to everyone working with #Emacs that, as a #Lisp system, Emacs Lisp has a proper REPL available.

M-x ielm

(Short for "inferior Emacs Lisp mode". Available also under C-c e i.)

Hi all, this is my #introduction.I am completely new to micro blogging and social media in general.

I've been #vegan for one year now. I use exclusively #Free/#Libre software for > 6 years already. I like #hacking on #GNU/Linux and #Emacs. I'm also a mountainbiker and love #hiking.

#Emacs advice needed...

I want something that just works. I don't have time to mess with the config a whole lot. I don't want to have to watch a third-party site for security updates or have to build it on things like Raspberry Pis and ARM Chromebooks.

Doom hasn't been "just works" and is going to be less and less of it. But then, starting from scratch would take days to get to where Doom is and I don't have that kind of time either.

Help?
