I’ve had the typical disasters with partition tables and boot loader mixups, but the one I keep coming back to is updating my Nvidia drivers too eagerly. Whether something gets messed up with an external monitor, or the laptop starts resisting switching away from the integrated GPU, or an electron app I use regularly that makes heavy use of 3D acceleration breaks, or I just need to bump the driver version in a reproducible system state record… it’s just bad news.

Programming, writing, notes, email… and basically a whole lot of what I use computers for is done with emacs.

The stress of those moments left a weird impression. I’m very against splitting the party now when entering checkout territory.

The speed and smoothness are amazing! Missing swipe to vote and better link handling.

I think duplicating posts is fine in this case. That is, links can be shared on multiple link sharing sites without infringing on the original creator.

Pure comment threads not based on a link could be hard for now, particularly with the fragmentation between tiny emacs communities on lemmy. It would be nice to have regular tips and tricks threads, or ask anything threads, but there needs to be enough of an audience for those to work, and limiting the frequency with which they’re posted might not work if most users are sorting posts with a recency component in the sorting criteria. I don’t know that trying would hurt, but it might take a bit for participation to grow.

My trials of it always seem outstanding, but the price with search limits has thus far discouraged me from signing up every time I think to do so. $5 for 10k searches (or some number that I wouldn’t have to think about as a human user searching for things) would get me over the fence. Even the family plan with up to 2 users seems stingy.

It’d be great if more emacs discussion moved from Reddit to the fediverse, as those discussions are my favorite way to get a sense of what I should dig more into. While I hope we’ll see Sacha’s weekly news posts linking to threads here on the threadiverse in the future, perhaps a start would be to create a space for folks to chat about the news items themselves. So, have at it!
