For a simple reason - I may one-shoot an emacs function (or several) I need for my config with claude. So, it is technically slope. I am also against self-hosting - I don’t have time and patience for it. IT is not a valuable hobby for me an

As I already said: not interested in radicals and/or personalities — they are doomed to fail. I only pay for services provided. Sourcehut was a minimalistic service fitting to my minimalistic personal needs. Not anymore. Good riddance,

Good luck. Just be prepared to deal with other “great” ideas down the line, because when I subscribed such bullsh*t was not in terms. Fortunately, my renewal was due on 28.08 (I am not making it up) so I was able to cancel. I pay for servic

Nah - all my repos are private, they mostly contain my configs and I am not paying money to read these insanities about tools I use. As much as I like paying to escape a capitalistic monstrosity such as github, they still seem to be more …

I am a paying supporter and I am considering to stop paying. This policy is a) dumb b) unenforceable. I pay them for infrastructure and service, not for some pseudo-moral ideas about how I should write my code. My code is as little of their

Rome was not at the spear tip of sciences and arts (it also the reason why roman elites liked greek arts so much - they had time and money for such activities) - but otherwise the impact of roman empire is huge and long-lasting. Law, engine

I think a big difference is that in the end emacs often makes a call and adopts one of the very popular packages to the core - eglot, modus-themes, use-package - there are certainly more, and more will come. It may not make everyone happy,

There is no "problem" in emacs (there are big technical problems, but not this one) and no need to get "most people" on emacs - the ecosystem is healthy by all means and only increasing. The "out of the box" ex

It is absolutely not true, I've vibecoded an app for myself in CL and opus/sonnet had 0 problems with parens and types. Add to it an MCP to work with REPL and it is much more smooth than Go in my experience.

It may feel even more shallow, but what keeps me on emacs are modus-themes. With luck, you can find a passable theme in your editor/ide of choice, but to find a good, high-contrast light theme is almost impossible.

Why talk about “western” then, not about “US”? Because clickbait?

Rather just "an Emacs" - it was a family of editors, after all, with GNU Emacs being the only one living offspring.

My car (a VW) has adaptive light with zoning, which seems to work well - at least no one is flashing me! But in general, modern cars are a black box - the light is always on, everything runs on automatics, there is no height adjustment anym

The grift is most insane right before the crash, I guess. Also: there is no need to push people to use "AI" in their work - if it is even remotely useful they'll do it on their own. If "AI" is not used, it most like

I prefer CL, but… clojure at least has some commercial usage and is by far the most successful of current lisps, if we do not count elisp.

Yes, if only we would have an example of an editor with a “obscure lisp flavor” and a powerful plugin system, unlike WASM! /s
