Yup. I use Emacs since 2002 and am pretty happy with it. Never used an Electron-based app and probably never will.

I don't know anybody who uses Signal and isn't a programmer (on the cryptography/security side) or journalist that needs it in order to work. Anybody else uses Telegram, WhatsApp, or both. SMS if you're in the USA.

I would love to see this money ($30M) being given to Andreas Kling and others behind Ladybird (the browser from SerenityOS). I'm pretty sure in 1-2 years they would have a better browser than the current Firefox.

Those are really good! Thanks for sharing. Curious to see the others. Are they available somewhere?

Thank you! Just converted it to Emacs Lisp:

  (defun new-note ()
    (interactive)
    (insert "----------------\n")
    (insert (shell-command-to-string "echo -n $(date \"+%Y-%m-%d %T\")"))
    (insert "\n"))
  
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-M-n") #'new-note)

And to invoke it from the shell:
  emacs --function new-note --file notes.txt

If somebody knows a better or more elegant way to do this, please tell me!

The customer support is the best! No waiting, no pre-recorded messages, no muzak, no menu. A real person picks the phone and talks to you. Oh and the app is a delight!
