Hmm. Now I have to decide on what to do next - write an article for my site about my #SoloRPG mode for #Emacs, or continue working on said mode and adding #HexCrawl support for it, or prep for tomorrow's #PathFinder2e game?
I'm very happy with my #SoloRPG mode for #Emacs, which is now available on #MELPA. It started with support for the #Lonelog solo RPG notation format, but has since expanded. I've now added support for #tarot cards and generating NPC personalities and appearances.
Today, I'm going to have a look at adding #Hexcrawl support.
If anyone wants to have a look at the code, it's available at https://github.com/Enfors/solo-rpg
Lonelog by #LoreseedWorkshop is available here: https://zeruhur.itch.io/lonelog
What's the best way to get my hands on some #emacs stickers in Europe?
The FSF shop seems closed?
Didn't read the news for a week (bc I was returned to office and prefer to sleep more) and reading it now:
— Vim became a LLM slop
— ntfy is a LLM slop now
— systemd is a LLM slop too
What a time to be asleep^Walive 
Looks like my passion to the old and simple solutions made a good thing for me. Time to throw the fuck away the ntfy from my server and use SMTP or XMPP for sending alerts to me.
P.S. Hope, the #Emacs itself willn't become a LLM slop oneday. Replacing it will not be so easy as with ntfy replacement. 
I figured out that #vim introduced #aislop code in their repo and actually #neovim team seems don't have problem to merge this kind of code.
For me is unfortunally, but it something that is happening.
I'm not ready to migrate all my way to #code and my way to work, becauase my #neovim setup makes me proud. Long time ago I started to work with vim/neovim so I have them deep in my mind.
Nevetheless I think I should start to learn alternatives, maybe #emacs
So, I know it's a thing to do and #introduction, and I haven't done one yet. I am, as my profile says, a rather vocal #adoptee.
I do have other interests. Rather than explain, I'll just throw a pile of hashtags out there:
#AdopteeVoices #Linux #Emacs #Esperanto #Cats #EmbeddedSoftware #OpenSource #TTRPG #Lisp #ScienceFiction
There's a good chance I'll be adding some, but let's start with what we have.
Read on for an introduction to the cats in my life.

Hey, #emacs crowd. Do you remember what were early hurdles when trying it? You know, 37 years ago most likely.
[Prot is talking about Emacs!] "This Thursday, the 12th of March, at 20:00 Europe/Athens time I will do a live presentation of Emacs for OxFLOSS (FLOSS @ Oxford).": this information is published by Protesilaos Stavrou, aka Prot, at https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2026-03-09-thursday-emacs-computing-freedom-oxfloss/
Anyone can participate or watch: no registration is required. Details in the link above.
And of course, all in #Emacs is done with text #format.
#ScribesAndMakers Mar. 12 – Our featured creator has an em-dash key on his keyboard. Do you do any customizations for your creativity?
Oh, that's nice! I've memorized the unicode hex values for en-dash – (U+2013) and em-dash — (U+2014) and use them regularly. The three-per-em space (U+2004) is useful for formatting poetry, too. These aren't customizations so much as a Linux thing, but I also like adding little conveniences to my writing setup. I configured a Vim-like layer in my programmable keyboard for modal editing in environments outside Vim and Emacs, and have a lot of configurations for Emacs Org Mode which is my usual drafting environment, from pretty bullet shapes (see my account header image) to word processor export settings. I'm a tech as well as lit nerd so this stuff is a lot of fun for me!
Just read about `git cherry-pick --no-commit` which prevents a commit being made pulling in the commit(s) that are being cherry picked.
Reading through #magit manual (https://docs.magit.vc/magit/Cherry-Picking.html) I couldn't see this option mapped out in the transient.
I wonder if this is currently possible?
Every day I discover new-to-me #emacs functionality that makes my life easier. I started using Emacs last summer and it's become my default program for:
- writing
- reading (novels, RSS feeds, blogs, anything text-centric)
- managing personal finances
- calendar / agenda / todo list
- programming
Now I want to learn Emacs Lisp!
I jotted down some thoughts on the future of editors like #Emacs and #Vim in the age of AI https://batsov.com/articles/2026/03/09/emacs-and-vim-in-the-age-of-ai/
I'd be very curious to hear your thoughts on the subject as well.
RE: https://hachyderm.io/@sanityinc/116198613377780507
This story makes me sad and angry. Leave #Emacs alone.
Do you use an LSP for python ? If so, which one ?
I just discovered basedpyright. NUTS. It is hands down the best open source experience I have had developing in this infuriatingly promiscuous language with no concern for runtime safety (I understand the historical reasons... I am just sad it has become the defacto standard for my field).
#python #languageserverProtocol #lsp #emacs #basedPyright
Options: (choose one)
RE: https://hachyderm.io/@sanityinc/116198613377780507
WTF! I don't like where humans are going. This might be one of the times where it's safe to use Windows.
Also - this is maybe a good idea why "sudo" still should require a password but I guess that might be typed anyway because "It might be required".
Blame this on @dougmerritt , @mousebot

Maybe you could patch it into #mastodonel.

I have really been wrestling lately with my config.el file for @doomemacs
The issue seems to be that the after! macro does *not* work, and I end up with custom configurations not loading
This manifests with is my dape-configs, so when I relaunch emacs after an update (I use emacsclient) I get... no configs (until I go to config.el and C-x C-e on those blocks)
I think my hacky solution has been to just use use-package dape instead, but how is after! supposed to work?
I enjoy my knowledge base within #Emacs. Org-Babel supports code snippets which can produce pictures which stay within the note. Org-roam allows you to link, tag, index and fuzzy search not only the notes, but also the sections within the notes. The formulas are written in LaTeX are supported out of the box. As everything is text, Git kicks in to store version history and synchronization. Evil is the best implementation of vim motions. No browser, Electron or even the internet connection.
https://screwlisp.small-web.org/conditions/partial-gopher-client/
#commonLisp #conditionHandling implemented as a #gopher protocol using #emacs #slime as the client.
This is even better than it sounds.
The condition handling system (nonfatal generalization of exception handling using lisp's local restarts/continuations) is unexplored and seen as opaque.
Using this tiny but esoteric example the available non-lexical computed restarts of an interactive condition are simply /browsable/.
So Google released Google Workspace CLI. I've not tested it yet, but if it can do have the stuff I hope it can, well, Emacs is about to get a ton more homely for me. :)
