I'm preparing for a conversation with linkarzu.
It would be fun to quote snippets from some of the other videos he has.
I like the way he does a lot of reaction videos that build on what people have shared.
He tends to listen to things at 1.25 or 1.5x speed.
I'm not sure if...
While summarizing my history with Emacs, I was curious about just how many Emacs News posts I've written and how many links I've highlighted. 564 posts, > 34000 items, an average of 60 items per posts.
Analysis: It turned out that my emacs-news/index.org only went bac...
Next Thursday, I'm going to be chatting with linkarzu about Emacs and life.
He's more of a Vim person than an Emacs person, so I'll try to share things that are generally useful. He's called it: "Why Sacha Chua Still Lives in Emacs After 20+ Years."

Matt is experimenting with dictating his blog posts. He says:
I write really well. I have very good grammatical skills, for the most part, when I’m typing. But when I speak, I don’t speak like that. My grammar is not very good. I say words out of order a lot. I have fil...

J'ai travaillé comme consultante. J'ai cherché la cause d'un bug dans la liste d'événements. J'ai affiché un message quand un évènement n'a pas besoin d'inscription. J'ai restauré le code d'application dans les titres de documents. J'ai aussi organisé mes notes.

Avant ma séance avec un nouveau tuteur, j'ai rassemblé des entrées de mon journal et les corrigés. Il y avait même une journée entière où je n'ai rien noté. Heureusement, j'ai pu reconstruire ma journée avec l'aide d'autres données. journal:2026-09-28-01

I've been studying French since November 2025 because I want to help my daughter learn it. After about eight months of taking pronunciation tutoring sessions once or twice a week and writing my journal in French, I decided to try conversation-focused tutoring sessions in Ju...

David Pape asked:
I just typed

into a commit description, all by hand.
Is there a way in Emacs to expand some kind of range description to make this easier? 😅

On Oct 2, we'll chat with Pedro about Org Mode, LaTeX exports and font management
including alternatives and things you can and can't do depending
on your choices. He'll share some tips on fallbacks and emojis, which can help a lot with presentations and documentation. We might also discuss recent patches and realistic objectives.
