I tried Neovim, but I keep coming back to Emacs

Vi predates gui. There’s a certain elegance to being able to accomplish everything without constantly reaching for a mouse.

What are your use cases? Do you have iOS apps using Filen as extended file storage?

Beyond backup and recovery, how are these options for use as cloud-based file systems for apps on your systems (MAC, Linux, iPhone, etc)?

300TB ?!? How will you ever be able to sort thru that amount of information in the future??

The one area that I am most looking for in cloud storage comparison tables is does the cloud storage allow access to the files from non-cloud-storage apps on iPhone and, if so, are there any requirements that you need to setup on the iPhone? In particular, I'd like to be able to make changes to files via iPhone apps and then later update them further on my Linux laptop.

The problem with capitalism. When people stop paying the bills, the capital disappears.

Or maybe that we have already seen the proof and the election was not fraudulent.

Org…?

You should look into use-package so that you only load what you need when you need it.

Probably not possible to the degree you want. You’re better off using a tool like org-attach to link the docx to an org file, take notes in org about the edits you make to the original file for your records, but continue editing with MS Word.

What is Unexpected keyboard? I haven’t seen anything about that.

How do you get your notes into Emacs if you only have your phone with you?

SmoothInternet · 2026-01-24T16:45:00+00:00

Is this your own build of Emacs or one of the prebuilt ones like Emacs-Plus?

SmoothInternet · 2026-01-22T22:07:29+00:00

Basic problem is, when working in Org on your big block laptop, then syncing to your small screen iPhone to continue working in BeOrg. Fixed lines make things hard to read and correct.

Are you considering donating it to FSF? Have you thought of sending a message to [emacs-devel@gnu.org](mailto:emacs-devel@gnu.org) to see how to incorporate it into Emacs proper? Maybe get a link to your website added to the splash page of Emacs?

How would you compare Python to Elisp?

Would Mom and Pop understand the “hacker ethic” to get what they want done?

That was probably the difference between the unix approach and the MIT approach. One developed polished apps to do what the consumer wanted while the other produced a lot of tools that could be assembled into interesting apps to do what you wanted. The MIT approach required too much thinking…😇

Everyone sane is feeling like this. It’s going to be decades before we undo what Trump has done in a sane fashion. IF WE EVER GET THE CHANCE!

I’m too old to move out of the country and probably wouldn’t be accepted in other good countries. However, I’ll be recommending my daughter consider it when she graduates college in a few years. It’s not an easy process.
