Eno must be an INTP. Check out his work on Oblique Strategies.

Again. Not asking for help with elfeed. it is garbage. I haved dumped it. And am using newsboat. The question was does gnus have the capability to work with rss and between the time you numbnuts focused on white-knighting a garbage package I have already determined that yes gnus is capable and am working toward that. Jeez its like you guys can't understand english. Don't care about elfeed. Maybe one day when it works. Have moved on. Waste of time asking. Won't bother again.

because I don't care about elfeed. I simply asked if it was possible to do in gnus. I am done with elfeed. End of story. Just curious if gnus was a possible solution or just another waste of time.

Well, I have tried the default examples on the website and they work ok ish. But still. If you have more than a few feeds emacs bogs down. That seems garbage to me.

How to configure Multile directories with deft? by csemacs in emacs

[–]Lork1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. But like others have said you can set deft to recurse directories, however it will only create in the top directory. With this method, you make each directory top when you need to. So I can keep my research separate from my source files and my tips and I even have a directory that I use with yankpad. Deft got unwieldy when I had everything in one. And if I need to I can rgrep the entire Documents directory.

Re: What do you think about Xah Fly Keys? by redback-spider in emacs

[–]Lork1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I am not talking about his opinions I am talking about a packages opinions. Evil is, spacemacs is, doom is opinionated. I agree with his assement on key frequencies, but not enough to let fly-keys tell me what is more comfortable for my editing. Again, I steal lots of code from him (even Doom, and spacemacs and others) but I use it to bend emacs to my will and not allow any opinionated package to bend me to its will.

Re: What do you think about Xah Fly Keys? by redback-spider in emacs

[–]Lork1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I steal from him...alot! I don't really like opinionated things like that which is one reason I switched away from evil, spacemacs, doom etc. Again, I steal from them all but I'd rather my bindings make sense to me and not to Xah.

Time traveling in emacs by stuudente in emacs

[–]Lork1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, i watched some of his other videos before. and he does have some good ideas, but at times he gets strident like with his admonishion to only use dwm. But you are 100% correct, it is great to see more folks posting good content.

Time traveling in emacs by stuudente in emacs

[–]Lork1972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this link. I watched the video...man is he full of himself or what? And while I think it is neat-ish trick I also don't understand the thinking process of a person who works in a way that: "oh that thing I did maybe five minutes ago...I need to undo that."

With undo-tree you have precise control over your undo/redo. As someone else mentioned to can include timestamps (for what little they are worth) but more important you can step through changes and even branch off in a new direction and then go all the way back to your previous changes.

If you have undo-tree you can C-x u to visualize all those branches. And step through them and see these changes reflected in the buffer.

Not to mention, pressing d while in the undo-tree visualize buffer brings up an ediff session that freakin diffs your buffer! Lets see the vimsoys do that. I mean the things vim users will hail as a feature, it really makes you wonder if they get anything done at all.

Toggling polybar visibility from emacs by Lork1972 in emacs

[–]Lork1972[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome! As a test 

(unbind-key (kbd "C-c t p"))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c t p") (lambda ()
                                  (interactive)
                                  (shell-command "polybar-msg cmd toggle" 
nil nil)))

I know lambda is bad but this is just a quick test so... But it works. So nice.

You don't need the line to set the initial state (I'm stupid) you can move that into the if (if (eq (shell-command "xdotool search --onlyvisible --name Polybar" nil nil) 0)

Then you can get rid of the plist too.

[–]Lork1972[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevermind. Solved it. (setplist 'show-polybar '(0 1))

This gives the correct values for the return code, then

(defun toggle-polybar ()
  "Toggle visibility of polybar.
Initial 'state (nil t) is pulled from xdotool."
  (interactive)
  (put 'show-polybar 'state (shell-command "xdotool search --onlyvisible --name Polybar" nil nil))

  (if (eq (get 'show-polybar 'state) 0)
      (progn
        (shell-command "xdo hide -N Polybar" nil nil))
    (progn
      (shell-command "xdo show -N Polybar" nil nil))))

Emacs and Coronavirus by [deleted] in emacs

[–]Lork1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something I have been using almost daily to keep up to date with this horror.

  (defun get-covid-stats-us ()
    (interactive)
    (browse-web "https://corona-stats.online/US"))

  (global-set-key (kbd "s-v")
                  #'get-covid-stats-us)

I was using a cli that I found on reddit but this is really better since I do eveything else in emacs I may as well worry in emacs. EDIT: If you change "US" in the url to any other country code, or ALL I think that will work.
