Heh, looks like Microsoft employed someone and just let them do whatever they wanted. So they fucked around and made a text editor in Rust. They even have an anime avatar on github. Definitely doesn’t smell like a microsoft project but hey… if a company feeds you, you gotta put their name on your project.
Probably. I recently installed a bunch of packages so now I use emacs to check my RSS feeds, look up the current word’s definition or synonyms, browse Gopher and Gemini sites, check my email … I told myself I was doing it just for fun to see how much truth there was to the whole “emacs is a great operating system” joke but I genuinely love how handy it all is and I’m worried I’m going to keep falling in even deeper. A part of me does dislike not using purpose built programs for each of those functions (“do one thing and do it well”), but it’s been a fun experiment so far
Emacs!
-> Vim
-> nano
-> Microsoft edit 1.0 for Linux
Well I think this has been too much Internet for me today
Wait what oh gods no

Can emacs really do all of this?

Huh.
Well godamnit. I gotta check it out now. I’ll be right back, I swear
Probably… so long as Emacs can be used to open up Vim. :-P
Lmao y’all are degenerates.
It probably can somehow
🦶
It’s a great OS it’s just lacking a decent text editor.
I used to spend hours trying to get the image on the right page. Now i use Org-mode LaTeX, and just accept that it’s impossible.
