Hi, folks. I don't ordinarily address everybody directly like this. It never feels right. Just not my thing, you know? Anyway, this is for folks who have my RSS or ATOM feeds in their feed readers. I really appreciate it - not enough folks use feeds these days or have presences outside of the walled gardens....

I wrote a few days ago how I took a bet to use Emacs. I wrote that a few days after starting, and now it’s been a full week. It has been an adventure. First off, let me tell you that my Emacs config is well over 500 lines long. There aren’t a ton of comments. You can see it here. I also have a nice screen shot to...

Desde que trabajo en casa le estoy dando cada vez más importancia a la existencia de terceros lugares.

When you look at your social media and blog feeds, ask yourself: Does it spark joy? In this post I discuss my plan to aggressively implement digital minimalism to my blog and newsletter feeds. As much as I want to support all the writers I see online, I have to concede that my bluetooth-sized brain RAM just can't...

The topics cover anything related to Emacs, technology, and life in general. More here: https://protesilaos.com/prot-asks/. Today I learn from PizzaTorque about how Emacs is used for...
