Does the average person know that a physical book they bought can deteriorate with age, and pages can tear or fall out as well? But as long as they have that book in their possession, it belongs to them, and they can read it, lend it to someone else, to their heart’s content. How are discs any different? Surely a physical book is not “permanent” but it certainly has its own merit, as compared to a DRM ridden copy of a book from Amazon. Also, some people just enjoy collecting physical media.

Wow, auto install treesitter grammars, editable xref, transposing window layouts, speed bar as a side window in frame, I had no idea any of these things were coming and were all some passing thoughts I’ve had in the last few weeks “it would be cool if this was supported OOTB”. Some dreams do come true!

They probably mean ‘C-x C-Q’, which toggles a buffer with its read-only state. In this case it lets you edit the contents of the dired buffer (i.e directory or file names) to changing the buffer to wdired-mode, and then ‘C-x C-s’ to save the contents of the buffer, which changes the names and places the buffer back into read-only (dired-mode)

Wow, thank you, that’ll work perfectly! Of course bug reference mode is built-in, I had no clue (I need to stop being surprised by emacs’ built-in functionalities)

Regarding the jira link example, are you using hyperbole buttons for this, or some other way? I’d like to do it without using hyperbole, it’s a nice package and all but the ‘buttons’ are the only (of the many) feature(s) I would use from it

This sounds interesting, how are you getting python docs in the `texinfo` format? I’ve used zeal a fair amount or *.read the docs.io, but always looking for local alternatives. A quick search online didn’t have much info

I’ll have to see if this can work with a multi band 6 gshock, I assume it’s similar to a standard atomic clock?

Xfce is great 6 months ago

Thanks for sharing the ppi hint, this helped me out a lot with not having to zoom every app on my 4k monitor!
